According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The perf_cpu_time_max_percent_handler function in     kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11     allows local users to cause a denial of service     (integer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other     impact via a large value, as demonstrated by an     incorrect sample-rate calculation.(CVE-2017-18255)

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.13.5, a local user could     create keyrings for other users via keyctl commands,     setting unwanted defaults or causing a denial of     service.(CVE-2017-18270)

  - The timer_create syscall implementation in     kernel/time/posix-timers.c in the Linux kernel doesn't     properly validate the sigevent-i1/4zsigev_notify field,     which leads to out-of-bounds access in the show_timer     function.(CVE-2017-18344)

  - arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel through     4.9.3 allows local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory or cause a denial of     service (use-after-free) via a crafted application that     leverages instruction emulation for fxrstor, fxsave,     sgdt, and sidt.(CVE-2017-2584)

  - Linux kernel built with the KVM visualization support     (CONFIG_KVM), with nested visualization(nVMX) feature     enabled(nested=1), is vulnerable to host memory leakage     issue. It could occur while emulating VMXON instruction     in 'handle_vmon'. An L1 guest user could use this flaw     to leak host memory potentially resulting in     DoS.(CVE-2017-2596)

  - A race condition flaw was found in the N_HLDC Linux     kernel driver when accessing n_hdlc.tbuf list that can     lead to double free. A local, unprivileged user able to     set the HDLC line discipline on the tty device could     use this flaw to increase their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2017-2636)

  - A flaw was found that can be triggered in     keyring_search_iterator in keyring.c if type-i1/4zmatch     is NULL. A local user could use this flaw to crash the     system or, potentially, escalate their     privileges.(CVE-2017-2647)

  - A race condition leading to a NULL pointer dereference     was found in the Linux kernel's Link Layer Control     implementation. A local attacker with access to ping     sockets could use this flaw to crash the     system.(CVE-2017-2671)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel in     'tmpfs' file system. When file permissions are modified     via 'chmod' and the user is not in the owning group or     capable of CAP_FSETID, the setgid bit is cleared in     inode_change_ok(). Setting a POSIX ACL via 'setxattr'     sets the file permissions as well as the new ACL, but     doesn't clear the setgid bit in a similar way this     allows to bypass the check in 'chmod'.(CVE-2017-5551)

  - The do_shmat function in ipc/shm.c in the Linux kernel,     through 4.9.12, does not restrict the address     calculated by a certain rounding operation. This allows     privileged local users to map page zero and,     consequently, bypass a protection mechanism that exists     for the mmap system call. This is possible by making     crafted shmget and shmat system calls in a privileged     context.(CVE-2017-5669)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel where     having malicious IP options present would cause the     ipv4_pktinfo_prepare() function to drop/free the dst.
    This could result in a system crash or possible     privilege escalation.(CVE-2017-5970)

  - It was reported that with Linux kernel, earlier than     version v4.10-rc8, an application may trigger a BUG_ON     in sctp_wait_for_sndbuf if the socket tx buffer is     full, a thread is waiting on it to queue more data, and     meanwhile another thread peels off the association     being used by the first thread.(CVE-2017-5986)

  - It was found that the original fix for CVE-2016-6786     was incomplete. There exist a race between two     concurrent sys_perf_event_open() calls when both try     and move the same pre-existing software group into a     hardware context.(CVE-2017-6001)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP)     implementation freed SKB (socket buffer) resources for     a DCCP_PKT_REQUEST packet when the IPV6_RECVPKTINFO     option is set on the socket. A local, unprivileged user     could use this flaw to alter the kernel memory,     allowing them to escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2017-6074)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handling of     packets with the URG flag. Applications using the     splice() and tcp_splice_read() functionality could     allow a remote attacker to force the kernel to enter a     condition in which it could loop     indefinitely.(CVE-2017-6214)

  - The hashbin_delete function in net/irda/irqueue.c in     the Linux kernel improperly manages lock dropping,     which allows local users to cause a denial of service     (deadlock) via crafted operations on IrDA     devices.(CVE-2017-6348)

  - It was found that the code in net/sctp/socket.c in the     Linux kernel through 4.10.1 does not properly restrict     association peel-off operations during certain wait     states, which allows local users to cause a denial of     service (invalid unlock and double free) via a     multithreaded application. This vulnerability was     introduced by CVE-2017-5986 fix (commit     2dcab5984841).(CVE-2017-6353)

  - The keyring_search_aux function in     security/keys/keyring.c in the Linux kernel allows     local users to cause a denial of service via a     request_key system call for the 'dead' key     type.(CVE-2017-6951)

  - The sg_ioctl function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux     kernel allows local users to cause a denial of service     (stack-based buffer overflow) or possibly have     unspecified other impacts via a large command size in     an SG_NEXT_CMD_LEN ioctl call, leading to out-of-bounds     write access in the sg_write function.(CVE-2017-7187)

  - In was found that in the Linux kernel, in     vmw_surface_define_ioctl() function in     'drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c' file, a     'num_sizes' parameter is assigned a user-controlled     value which is not checked if it is zero. This is used     in a call to kmalloc() and later leads to dereferencing     ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which in turn leads to a GPF and     possibly to a kernel panic.(CVE-2017-7261)

  - An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in the     Linux kernel's vmw_surface_define_ioctl() function, in     the 'drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c' file. Due     to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot     be fully ruled out, although we believe it is     unlikely.(CVE-2017-7294)

  - It was found that the packet_set_ring() function of the     Linux kernel's networking implementation did not     properly validate certain block-size data. A local     attacker with CAP_NET_RAW capability could use this     flaw to trigger a buffer overflow, resulting in the     crash of the system. Due to the nature of the flaw,     privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled     out.(CVE-2017-7308)

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in DCCP socket     code affecting the Linux kernel since 2.6.16. This     vulnerability could allow an attacker to their escalate     privileges.(CVE-2017-8824i1/4%0

  - The OZWPAN driver in the Linux kernel through 4.0.5     relies on an untrusted length field during packet     parsing, which allows remote attackers to obtain     sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a     denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash)     via a crafted packet.(CVE-2015-4004i1/4%0

  - Integer signedness error in the MSM V4L2 video driver     for the Linux kernel 3.x, as used in Qualcomm     Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM     devices and other products, allows attackers to gain     privileges or cause a denial of service (array overflow     and memory corruption) via a crafted application that     triggers an msm_isp_axi_create_stream     call.(CVE-2016-2061i1/4%0

  - A denial of service flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's XFS file system implementation ordered     directory hashes under certain conditions. A local     attacker could use this flaw to corrupt the file system     by creating directories with colliding hash values,     potentially resulting in a system     crash.(CVE-2014-7283i1/4%0

  - It was found that the Linux kernel's ping socket     implementation did not properly handle socket unhashing     during spurious disconnects, which could lead to a     use-after-free flaw. On x86-64 architecture systems, a     local user able to create ping sockets could use this     flaw to crash the system. On non-x86-64 architecture     systems, a local user able to create ping sockets could     use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2015-3636i1/4%0

  - Incorrect buffer length handling was found in the     ncp_read_kernel function in fs/ncpfs/ncplib_kernel.c in     the Linux kernel, which could be exploited by malicious     NCPFS servers to crash the kernel or possibly execute     an arbitrary code.(CVE-2018-8822i1/4%0

  - ** DISPUTED ** Kernel Samepage Merging (KSM) in the     Linux kernel 2.6.32 through 4.x does not prevent use of     a write-timing side channel, which allows guest OS     users to defeat the ASLR protection mechanism on other     guest OS instances via a Cross-VM ASL INtrospection     (CAIN) attack. NOTE: the vendor states 'Basically if     you care about this attack vector, disable     deduplication.' Share-until-written approaches for     memory conservation among mutually untrusting tenants     are inherently detectable for information disclosure,     and can be classified as potentially misunderstood     behaviors rather than vulnerabilities.(CVE-2015-2877i1/4%0

  - The tty_set_termios_ldisc() function in     'drivers/tty/tty_ldisc.c' in the Linux kernel before     4.5 allows local users to obtain sensitive information     from kernel memory by reading a tty data     structure.(CVE-2015-8964i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     4.17.2. vbg_misc_device_ioctl() in     drivers/virt/vboxguest/vboxguest_linux.c reads the same     user data twice with copy_from_user. The header part of     the user data is double-fetched, and a malicious user     thread can tamper with the critical variables     (hdr.size_in and hdr.size_out) in the header between     the two fetches because of a race condition, leading to     severe kernel errors, such as buffer over-accesses.
    This bug can cause a local denial of service and     information leakage.(CVE-2018-12633i1/4%0

  - ** RESERVED ** This candidate has been reserved by an     organization or individual that will use it when     announcing a new security problem. When the candidate     has been publicized, the details for this candidate     will be provided.(CVE-2018-1092i1/4%0

  - fs/f2fs/extent_cache.c in the Linux kernel, before     4.13, mishandles extent trees. This allows local users     to cause a denial of service via an application with     multiple threads.(CVE-2017-18193i1/4%0

  - A design flaw was found in the file extended attribute     handling of the Linux kernel's handling of cached     attributes. Too many entries in the cache cause a soft     lockup while attempting to iterate the cache and access     relevant locks.(CVE-2015-8952i1/4%0

  - Off-by-one error in the pipe_advance function in     lib/iov_iter.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.5 allows     local users to obtain sensitive information from     uninitialized heap-memory locations in opportunistic     circumstances by reading from a pipe after an incorrect     buffer-release decision.(CVE-2017-5550i1/4%0

  - The HMAC implementation (crypto/hmac.c) in the Linux     kernel, before 4.14.8, does not validate that the     underlying cryptographic hash algorithm is unkeyed.
    This allows a local attacker, able to use the     AF_ALG-based hash interface     (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH) and the SHA-3 hash     algorithm (CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA3), to cause a kernel stack     buffer overflow by executing a crafted sequence of     system calls that encounter a missing SHA-3     initialization.(CVE-2017-17806i1/4%0

  - The mp_get_count function in     drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c in the Linux kernel     before 3.12 does not initialize a certain data     structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel stack memory via a TIOCGICOUNT     ioctl call.(CVE-2013-4516i1/4%0

  - The perf_cpu_time_max_percent_handler function in     kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11     allows local users to cause a denial of service     (integer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other     impact via a large value, as demonstrated by an     incorrect sample-rate calculation.(CVE-2017-18255i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the btrfs filesystem code in     the Linux kernel. An invalid pointer dereference in
    __del_reloc_root() in fs/btrfs/relocation.c when     mounting a crafted btrfs image could lead to a system     crash and a denial of service.(CVE-2018-14609i1/4%0

  - The oz_usb_handle_ep_data function in     drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozusbsvc1.c in the OZWPAN driver     in the Linux kernel through 4.0.5 allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero     error and system crash) via a crafted     packet.(CVE-2015-4003i1/4%0

  - drivers/hid/hid-logitech-dj.c in the Human Interface     Device (HID) subsystem in the Linux kernel through     3.11, when CONFIG_HID_LOGITECH_DJ is enabled, allows     physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of     service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) or obtain     sensitive information from kernel memory via a crafted     device.(CVE-2013-2895i1/4%0

  - drivers/usb/serial/cypress_m8.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.5.1 allows physically proximate attackers to     cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and     system crash) via a USB device without both an     interrupt-in and an interrupt-out endpoint descriptor,     related to the cypress_generic_port_probe and     cypress_open functions.(CVE-2016-3137i1/4%0

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Missing check in fs/inode.c:inode_init_owner() does not     clear SGID bit on non-directories for     non-members.(CVE-2018-13405)

  - A null pointer dereference in dccp_write_xmit()     function in net/dccp/output.c in the Linux kernel     allows a local user to cause a denial of service by a     number of certain crafted system calls.(CVE-2018-1130)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, before 4.16.6     where the cdrom_ioctl_media_changed function in     drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c allows local attackers to use a     incorrect bounds check in the CDROM driver     CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl to read out kernel     memory.(CVE-2018-10940)

  - The madvise_willneed function in the Linux kernel     allows local users to cause a denial of service     (infinite loop) by triggering use of MADVISE_WILLNEED     for a DAX mapping.(CVE-2017-18208)

  - fuse-backed file mmap-ed onto process cmdline arguments     causes denial of service.(CVE-2018-1120)

  - Memory leak in the sas_smp_get_phy_events function in     drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c in the Linux kernel     allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel     memory exhaustion) via multiple read accesses to files     in the /sys/class/sas_phy directory.(CVE-2018-7757)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's     kernel/events/core.c:perf_cpu_time_max_percent_handler(     ) function. Local privileged users could exploit this     flaw to cause a denial of service due to integer     overflow or possibly have unspecified other     impact.(CVE-2017-18255)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the way a local     user could create keyrings for other users via keyctl     commands. This may allow an attacker to set unwanted     defaults, a denial of service, or possibly leak keyring     information between users.(CVE-2017-18270)

  - The mm subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.10.10     does not properly enforce the CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM     protection mechanism, which allows local users to read     or write to kernel memory locations in the first     megabyte (and bypass slab-allocation access     restrictions) via an application that opens the     /dev/mem file, related to arch/x86/mm/init.c and     drivers/char/mem.c.(CVE-2017-7889)

  - The code in the drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_scsi_host.c     file in the Linux kernel allow a physically proximate     attacker to cause a memory leak in the ATA command     queue and, thus, denial of service by triggering     certain failure conditions.(CVE-2018-10021)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's client-side     implementation of the cifs protocol. This flaw allows     an attacker controlling the server to kernel panic a     client which has the CIFS server     mounted.(CVE-2018-1066)

  - A flaw was found in the alarm_timer_nsleep() function     in kernel/time/alarmtimer.c in the Linux kernel. The     ktime_add_safe() function is not used and an integer     overflow can happen causing an alarm not to fire or     possibly a denial-of-service if using a large relative     timeout.(CVE-2018-13053)

  - An issue was discovered in the XFS filesystem in     fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr_leaf.c in the Linux kernel. A     NULL pointer dereference may occur for a corrupted xfs     image after xfs_da_shrink_inode() is called with a NULL     bp. This can lead to a system crash and a denial of     service.(CVE-2018-13094)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel in the     ucma_leave_multicast() function in     drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c which allows access to a     certain data structure after freeing it in     ucma_process_join(). This allows an attacker to cause a     use-after-free bug and to induce kernel memory     corruption, leading to a system crash or other     unspecified impact. Due to the nature of the flaw,     privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out,     although we believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2018-14734)

  - A race condition in the store_int_with_restart()     function in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c in the     Linux kernel allows local users to cause a denial of     service (panic) by leveraging root access to write to     the check_interval file in a     /sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheck (cpu     number) directory.(CVE-2018-7995)

  - Linux Kernel version 3.18 to 4.16 incorrectly handles an SG_IO ioctl on /dev/sg0 with     dxfer_direction=SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV and an empty 6-byte cmdp. This may lead to copying up to 1000 kernel     heap pages to the userspace. This has been fixed upstream in     https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/a45b599ad808c3c982fdcdc12b0b8611c2f92824 already. The problem has     limited scope, as users don't usually have permissions to access SCSI devices. On the other hand, e.g. the     Nero user manual suggests doing `chmod o+r+w /dev/sg*` to make the devices accessible. NOTE: third parties     dispute the relevance of this report, noting that the requirement for an attacker to have both the     CAP_SYS_ADMIN and CAP_SYS_RAWIO capabilities makes it virtually impossible to exploit. (CVE-2018-1000204)

  - drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_scsi_host.c in the Linux kernel before 4.16 allows local users to cause a denial     of service (ata qc leak) by triggering certain failure conditions. NOTE: a third party disputes the     relevance of this report because the failure can only occur for physically proximate attackers who unplug     SAS Host Bus Adapter cables (CVE-2018-10021)

  - The kernel_wait4 function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13, when an unspecified     architecture and compiler is used, might allow local users to cause a denial of service by triggering an     attempted use of the -INT_MIN value. (CVE-2018-10087)

  - The kill_something_info function in kernel/signal.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13, when an unspecified     architecture and compiler is used, might allow local users to cause a denial of service via an INT_MIN     argument. (CVE-2018-10124)

  - The xfs_bmap_extents_to_btree function in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_bmap.c in the Linux kernel through 4.16.3     allows local users to cause a denial of service (xfs_bmapi_write NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted     xfs image. (CVE-2018-10323)

  - The do_get_mempolicy function in mm/mempolicy.c in the Linux kernel before 4.12.9 allows local users to     cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system     calls. (CVE-2018-10675)

  - Linux kernel ext4 filesystem is vulnerable to an out-of-bound access in the ext4_ext_drop_refs() function     when operating on a crafted ext4 filesystem image. (CVE-2018-10877)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem. A local user can cause an out-of-bound access in     ext4_get_group_info function, a denial of service, and a system crash by mounting and operating on a     crafted ext4 filesystem image. (CVE-2018-10881)

  - The ext4_iget function in fs/ext4/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 4.15.15 mishandles the case of a     root directory with a zero i_links_count, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service     (ext4_process_freed_data NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) via a crafted ext4 image. (CVE-2018-1092)

  - The ext4_valid_block_bitmap function in fs/ext4/balloc.c in the Linux kernel through 4.15.15 allows     attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) via a crafted ext4 image     because balloc.c and ialloc.c do not validate bitmap block numbers. (CVE-2018-1093)

  - The cdrom_ioctl_media_changed function in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c in the Linux kernel before 4.16.6 allows     local attackers to use a incorrect bounds check in the CDROM driver CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl to read out     kernel memory. (CVE-2018-10940)

  - In the ea_get function in fs/jfs/xattr.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.1, a memory corruption bug in     JFS can be triggered by calling setxattr twice with two different extended attribute names on the same     file. This vulnerability can be triggered by an unprivileged user with the ability to create files and     execute programs. A kmalloc call is incorrect, leading to slab-out-of-bounds in jfs_xattr.
    (CVE-2018-12233)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr_leaf.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3. An OOPS may     occur for a corrupted xfs image after xfs_da_shrink_inode() is called with a NULL bp. (CVE-2018-13094)

  - The inode_init_owner function in fs/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16 allows local users to create     files with an unintended group ownership, in a scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group and     is writable by a user who is not a member of that group. Here, the non-member can trigger creation of a     plain file whose group ownership is that group. The intended behavior was that the non-member can trigger     creation of a directory (but not a plain file) whose group ownership is that group. The non-member can     escalate privileges by making the plain file executable and SGID. (CVE-2018-13405)

  - An integer overflow in the uvesafb_setcmap function in drivers/video/fbdev/uvesafb.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.17.4 could result in local attackers being able to crash the kernel or potentially elevate     privileges because kmalloc_array is not used. (CVE-2018-13406)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Linux 4.9 has been packaged for Debian 8 as linux-4.9. This provides a supported upgrade path for systems that currently use kernel packages from the 'jessie-backports' suite.

There is no need to upgrade systems using Linux 3.16, as that kernel version will also continue to be supported in the LTS period.

This backport does not include the following binary packages :

hyperv-daemons libcpupower1 libcpupower-dev libusbip-dev linux-compiler-gcc-4.9-x86 linux-cpupower linux-libc-dev usbip

Older versions of most of those are built from other source packages in Debian 8.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks.

CVE-2017-5753

Further instances of code that was vulnerable to Spectre variant 1 (bounds-check bypass) have been mitigated.

CVE-2017-18255

It was discovered that the performance events subsystem did not properly validate the value of the kernel.perf_cpu_time_max_percent sysctl. Setting a large value could have an unspecified security impact. However, only a privileged user can set this sysctl.

CVE-2018-1118

The syzbot software found that the vhost driver did not initialise message buffers which would later be read by user processes. A user with access to the /dev/vhost-net device could use this to read sensitive information from the kernel or other users' processes.

CVE-2018-1120

Qualys reported that a user able to mount FUSE filesystems can create a process such that when another process attempting to read its command line will be blocked for an arbitrarily long time. This could be used for denial of service, or to aid in exploiting a race condition in the other program.

CVE-2018-1130

The syzbot software found that the DCCP implementation of sendmsg() does not check the socket state, potentially leading to a NULL pointer dereference. A local user could use this to cause a denial of service (crash). 

CVE-2018-3639

Multiple researchers have discovered that Speculative Store Bypass (SSB), a feature implemented in many processors, could be used to read sensitive information from another context. In particular, code in a software sandbox may be able to read sensitive information from outside the sandbox. This issue is also known as Spectre variant 4.

This update allows the issue to be mitigated on some x86 processors by disabling SSB. This requires an update to the processor's microcode, which is non-free. It may be included in an update to the system BIOS or UEFI firmware, or in a future update to the intel-microcode or amd64-microcode packages.

Disabling SSB can reduce performance significantly, so by default it is only done in tasks that use the seccomp feature. Applications that require this mitigation should request it explicitly through the prctl() system call. Users can control where the mitigation is enabled with the spec_store_bypass_disable kernel parameter.

CVE-2018-5814

Jakub Jirasek reported race conditions in the USB/IP host driver. A malicious client could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption), and possibly to execute code, on a USB/IP server.

CVE-2018-10021

A physically present attacker who unplugs a SAS cable can cause a denial of service (memory leak and WARN).

CVE-2018-10087, CVE-2018-10124

zhongjiang found that the wait4() and kill() system call implementations did not check for the invalid pid value of INT_MIN. If a user passed this value, the behaviour of the code was formally undefined and might have had a security impact.

CVE-2018-10853

Andy Lutomirski and Mika Penttil&auml; reported that KVM for x86 processors did not perform a necessary privilege check when emulating certain instructions. This could be used by an unprivileged user in a guest VM to escalate their privileges within the guest.

CVE-2018-10876, CVE-2018-10877, CVE-2018-10878, CVE-2018-10879, CVE-2018-10880, CVE-2018-10881, CVE-2018-10882, CVE-2018-10883

Wen Xu at SSLab, Gatech, reported that crafted ext4 filesystem images could trigger a crash or memory corruption. A local user able to mount arbitrary filesystems, or an attacker providing filesystems to be mounted, could use this for denial of service or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-10940

Dan Carpenter reported that the optical disc driver (cdrom) does not correctly validate the parameter to the CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl. A user with access to a cdrom device could use this to cause a denial of service (crash).

CVE-2018-11506

Piotr Gabriel Kosinski and Daniel Shapira reported that the SCSI optical disc driver (sr) did not allocate a sufficiently large buffer for sense data. A user with access to a SCSI optical disc device that can produce more than 64 bytes of sense data could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption), and possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-12233

Shankara Pailoor reported that a crafted JFS filesystem image could trigger a denial of service (memory corruption). This could possibly also be used for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-1000204

The syzbot software found that the SCSI generic driver (sg) would in some circumstances allow reading data from uninitialised buffers, which could include sensitive information from the kernel or other tasks. However, only privileged users with the CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability were allowed to do this, so this has little or no security impact.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 4.9.110-1~deb8u1. This update additionally fixes Debian bugs #860900, #872907, #892057, #896775, #897590, and #898137; and includes many more bug fixes from stable updates 4.9.89-4.9.110 inclusive.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux-4.9 packages.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3696-2 advisory.

  - The acpi_ns_evaluate() function in drivers/acpi/acpica/nseval.c in the Linux kernel through 4.12.9 does     not flush the operand cache and causes a kernel stack dump, which allows local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism (in the kernel through 4.9) via a     crafted ACPI table. (CVE-2017-13695)

  - The perf_cpu_time_max_percent_handler function in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11     allows local users to cause a denial of service (integer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other     impact via a large value, as demonstrated by an incorrect sample-rate calculation. (CVE-2017-18255)

  - The __get_data_block function in fs/f2fs/data.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11 allows local users to     cause a denial of service (integer overflow and loop) via crafted use of the open and fallocate system     calls with an FS_IOC_FIEMAP ioctl. (CVE-2017-18257)

  - Linux Kernel version 3.18 to 4.16 incorrectly handles an SG_IO ioctl on /dev/sg0 with     dxfer_direction=SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV and an empty 6-byte cmdp. This may lead to copying up to 1000 kernel     heap pages to the userspace. This has been fixed upstream in     https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/a45b599ad808c3c982fdcdc12b0b8611c2f92824 already. The problem has     limited scope, as users don't usually have permissions to access SCSI devices. On the other hand, e.g. the     Nero user manual suggests doing `chmod o+r+w /dev/sg*` to make the devices accessible. NOTE: third parties     dispute the relevance of this report, noting that the requirement for an attacker to have both the     CAP_SYS_ADMIN and CAP_SYS_RAWIO capabilities makes it virtually impossible to exploit. (CVE-2018-1000204)

  - drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_scsi_host.c in the Linux kernel before 4.16 allows local users to cause a denial     of service (ata qc leak) by triggering certain failure conditions. NOTE: a third party disputes the     relevance of this report because the failure can only occur for physically proximate attackers who unplug     SAS Host Bus Adapter cables (CVE-2018-10021)

  - The kernel_wait4 function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13, when an unspecified     architecture and compiler is used, might allow local users to cause a denial of service by triggering an     attempted use of the -INT_MIN value. (CVE-2018-10087)

  - The kill_something_info function in kernel/signal.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13, when an unspecified     architecture and compiler is used, might allow local users to cause a denial of service via an INT_MIN     argument. (CVE-2018-10124)

  - System software utilizing Lazy FP state restore technique on systems using Intel Core-based     microprocessors may potentially allow a local process to infer data from another process through a     speculative execution side channel. (CVE-2018-3665)

  - In the Linux Kernel before version 4.16.11, 4.14.43, 4.9.102, and 4.4.133, multiple race condition errors     when handling probe, disconnect, and rebind operations can be exploited to trigger a use-after-free     condition or a NULL pointer dereference by sending multiple USB over IP packets. (CVE-2018-5814)

  - An issue was discovered in the fd_locked_ioctl function in drivers/block/floppy.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.15.7. The floppy driver will copy a kernel pointer to user memory in response to the FDGETPRM     ioctl. An attacker can send the FDGETPRM ioctl and use the obtained kernel pointer to discover the     location of kernel code and data and bypass kernel security protections such as KASLR. (CVE-2018-7755)

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's     kernel/events/core.c:perf_cpu_time_max_percent_handler(     ) function. Local privileged users could exploit this     flaw to cause a denial of service due to integer     overflow or possibly have unspecified other     impact.(CVE-2017-18255)

  - The code in the drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_scsi_host.c     file in the Linux kernel allow a physically proximate     attacker to cause a memory leak in the ATA command     queue and, thus, denial of service by triggering     certain failure conditions.(CVE-2018-10021)

  - The kernel_wait4 function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux     kernel, when an unspecified architecture and compiler     is used, might allow local users to cause a denial of     service by triggering an attempted use of the -INT_MIN     value.(CVE-2018-10087)

  - A an integer overflow vulnerability was discovered in     the Linux kernel, from version 3.4 through 4.15, in the     drivers/gpu/drm/udl/udl_fb.c:udl_fb_mmap() function. An     attacker with access to the udldrmfb driver could     exploit this to obtain full read and write permissions     on kernel physical pages, resulting in a code execution     in kernel space.(CVE-2018-8781)

  - An address corruption flaw was discovered in the Linux     kernel built with hardware breakpoint     (CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT) support. While modifying a     h/w breakpoint via 'modify_user_hw_breakpoint' routine,     an unprivileged user/process could use this flaw to     crash the system kernel resulting in DoS OR to     potentially escalate privileges on a the     system.(CVE-2018-1000199)

  - An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern     microprocessor designs have implemented speculative     execution of Load i1/4+ Store instructions (a commonly     used performance optimization). It relies on the     presence of a precisely-defined instruction sequence in     the privileged code as well as the fact that memory     read from address to which a recent memory write has     occurred may see an older value and subsequently cause     an update into the microprocessor's data cache even for     speculatively executed instructions that never actually     commit (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker     could use this flaw to read privileged memory by     conducting targeted cache side-channel     attacks.(CVE-2018-3639)

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - ALSA sequencer core initializes the event pool on     demand by invoking snd_seq_pool_init() when the first     write happens and the pool is empty. A user can reset     the pool size manually via ioctl concurrently, and this     may lead to UAF or out-of-bound access.(CVE-2018-7566)

  - The do_get_mempolicy() function in mm/mempolicy.c in     the Linux kernel allows local users to hit a     use-after-free bug via crafted system calls and thus     cause a denial of service (DoS) or possibly have     unspecified other impact. Due to the nature of the     flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled     out.(CVE-2018-10675)

  - The Linux kernel has an undefined behavior when an     argument of INT_MIN is passed to the     kernel/signal.c:kill_something_info() function. A local     attacker may be able to exploit this to cause a denial     of service.(CVE-2018-10124)

  - A an integer overflow vulnerability was discovered in     the Linux kernel, from version 3.4 through 4.15, in the     drivers/gpu/drm/udl/udl_fb.c:udl_fb_mmap() function. An     attacker with access to the udldrmfb driver could     exploit this to obtain full read and write permissions     on kernel physical pages, resulting in a code execution     in kernel space.(CVE-2018-8781)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of 32-bit syscall interface for bridging. This allowed     a privileged user to arbitrarily write to a limited     range of kernel memory.(CVE-2018-1068)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's     kernel/events/core.c:perf_cpu_time_max_percent_handler(     ) function. Local privileged users could exploit this     flaw to cause a denial of service due to integer     overflow or possibly have unspecified other     impact.(CVE-2017-18255)
