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.

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 :

  - The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz),     the core of any Linux operating system. The kernel     handles the basic functions of the operating system:
    memory allocation, process allocation, device input and     output, etc.Security Fix(es):A flaw named FragmentSmack     was found in the way the Linux kernel handled     reassembly of fragmented IPv4 and IPv6 packets. A     remote attacker could use this flaw to trigger time and     calculation expensive fragment reassembly algorithm by     sending specially crafted packets which could lead to a     CPU saturation and hence a denial of service on the     system.(CVE-2018-5391)Multiple out-of-bounds write     flaws were found in the way the Cherry Cymotion     keyboard driver, KYE/Genius device drivers, Logitech     device drivers, Monterey Genius KB29E keyboard driver,     Petalynx Maxter remote control driver, and Sunplus     wireless desktop driver handled HID reports with an     invalid report descriptor size. An attacker with     physical access to the system could use either of these     flaws to write data past an allocated memory     buffer.(CVE-2014-3184)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)netetfilter/xt_osf.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.14.4 does not require the     CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for add_callback and     remove_callback operations. This allows local users to     bypass intended access restrictions because the     xt_osf_fingers data structure is shared across all     network namespaces.(CVE-2017-17450)A denial of service     flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel, where a race     condition caused a NULL pointer dereference in the RDS     socket-creation code. A local attacker could use this     flaw to create a situation in which a NULL pointer     crashed the kernel.(CVE-2015-7990)An issue was     discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.19.9. The USB     subsystem mishandles size checks during the reading of     an extra descriptor, related to
    __usb_get_extra_descriptor in     drivers/usb/core/usb.c.(CVE-2018-20169)mm/memory.c in     the Linux kernel before 4.1.4 mishandles anonymous     pages, which allows local users to gain privileges or     cause a denial of service (page tainting) via a crafted     application that triggers writing to page     zero.(CVE-2015-3288)The ovl_setattr function in     fs/overlayfs/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 4.3.3     attempts to merge distinct setattr operations, which     allows local users to bypass intended access     restrictions and modify the attributes of arbitrary     overlay files via a crafted     application.(CVE-2015-8660)A flaw was found in the     Linux kernel where a local user with a shell account     can abuse the userfaultfd syscall when using hugetlbfs.
    A missing size check in hugetlb_mcopy_atomic_pte could     create an invalid inode variable, leading to a kernel     panic.(CVE-2017-15128)An integer overflow flaw was     found in the way the lzo1x_decompress_safe() function     of the Linux kernel's LZO implementation processed     Literal Runs. A local attacker could, in extremely rare     cases, use this flaw to crash the system or,     potentially, escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2014-4608)It was found that Linux kernel's     ptrace subsystem did not properly sanitize the     address-space-control bits when the program-status word     (PSW) was being set. On IBM S/390 systems, a local,     unprivileged user could use this flaw to set     address-space-control bits to the kernel space, and     thus gain read and write access to kernel     memory.(CVE-2014-3534)A use-after-free flaw was found     in the Linux kernel's file system encryption     implementation. A local user could revoke keyring keys     being used for ext4, f2fs, or ubifs encryption, causing     a denial of service on the system.(CVE-2017-7374)The     usbip_recv_xbuff function in     drivers/usb/usbip/usbip_common.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.5.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (out-of-bounds write) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted length value in     a USB/IP packet.(CVE-2016-3955)A flaw was found in the     patches used to fix the 'dirtycow' vulnerability     (CVE-2016-5195). An attacker, able to run local code,     can exploit a race condition in transparent huge pages     to modify usually read-only huge     pages.(CVE-2017-1000405)The aio_mount function in     fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel does not properly restrict     execute access, which makes it easier for local users     to bypass intended SELinux W^X policy     restrictions.(CVE-2016-10044)The Serial Attached SCSI     (SAS) implementation in the Linux kernel mishandles a     mutex within libsas. This allows local users to cause a     denial of service (deadlock) by triggering certain     error-handling code.(CVE-2017-18232)A use-after-free     vulnerability was found in tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue     and other tcp_* functions. This condition could allow     an attacker to send an incorrect selective     acknowledgment to existing connections, possibly     resetting a connection.(CVE-2016-6828)The instruction     decoder in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the KVM subsystem     in the Linux kernel before 3.18-rc2 does not properly     handle invalid instructions, which allows guest OS     users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and host OS crash) via a crafted     application that triggers (1) an improperly fetched     instruction or (2) an instruction that occupies too     many bytes. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of     an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-8480.(CVE-2014-8481)The     snd_compress_check_input function in     sound/core/compress_offload.c in the ALSA subsystem in     the Linux kernel before 3.17 does not properly check     for an integer overflow, which allows local users to     cause a denial of service (insufficient memory     allocation) or possibly have unspecified other impact     via a crafted SNDRV_COMPRESS_SET_PARAMS ioctl     call.(CVE-2014-9904)The resv_map_release function in     mm/hugetlb.c in the Linux kernel, through 4.15.7,     allows local users to cause a denial of service (BUG)     via a crafted application that makes mmap system calls     and has a large pgoff argument to the remap_file_pages     system call.(CVE-2018-7740)

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 LTSS kernel was updated to 4.4.121 to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2018-8781: The udl_fb_mmap function in drivers/gpu/drm/udl/udl_fb.c had an integer-overflow vulnerability that allowed local users with access to the udldrmfb driver to obtain full read and write permissions on kernel physical pages, resulting in a code execution in kernel space (bnc#1090643).

CVE-2018-10124: The kill_something_info function in kernel/signal.c might have allowed local users to cause a denial of service via an INT_MIN argument (bnc#1089752).

CVE-2018-10087: The kernel_wait4 function in kernel/exit.c might have allowed local users to cause a denial of service by triggering an attempted use of the -INT_MIN value (bnc#1089608).

CVE-2017-18257: The __get_data_block function in fs/f2fs/data.c in the Linux kernel allowed 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. (bnc#1088241)

CVE-2018-8822: Incorrect buffer length handling in the ncp_read_kernel function in fs/ncpfs/ncplib_kernel.c could be exploited by malicious NCPFS servers to crash the kernel or execute code (bnc#1086162).

CVE-2018-8043: The unimac_mdio_probe function in drivers/net/phy/mdio-bcm-unimac.c did not validate certain resource availability, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) (bnc#1084829).

CVE-2018-7740: The resv_map_release function in mm/hugetlb.c allowed local users to cause a denial of service (BUG) via a crafted application that made mmap system calls and has a large pgoff argument to the remap_file_pages system call (bnc#1084353).

CVE-2018-1087: And an unprivileged KVM guest user could use this flaw to potentially escalate their privileges inside a guest. (bsc#1087088)

CVE-2018-8897: An unprivileged system user could use incorrect set up interrupt stacks to crash the Linux kernel resulting in DoS issue.
(bsc#1087088)

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

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)

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

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

  - CVE-2017-5715     Multiple researchers have discovered a vulnerability in     various processors supporting speculative execution,     enabling an attacker controlling an unprivileged process     to read memory from arbitrary addresses, including from     the kernel and all other processes running on the     system.

  This specific attack has been named Spectre variant 2 (branch target   injection) and is mitigated for the x86 architecture (amd64 and   i386) by using the 'retpoline' compiler feature which allows   indirect branches to be isolated from speculative execution.

  - CVE-2017-5753     Multiple researchers have discovered a vulnerability in     various processors supporting speculative execution,     enabling an attacker controlling an unprivileged process     to read memory from arbitrary addresses, including from     the kernel and all other processes running on the     system.

  This specific attack has been named Spectre variant 1 (bounds-check   bypass) and is mitigated by identifying vulnerable code sections   (array bounds checking followed by array access) and replacing the   array access with the speculation-safe array_index_nospec()   function.

  More use sites will be added over time.

  - CVE-2017-17975     Tuba Yavuz reported a use-after-free flaw in the     USBTV007 audio-video grabber driver. A local user could     use this for denial of service by triggering failure of     audio registration.

  - CVE-2017-18193     Yunlei He reported that the f2fs implementation does not     properly handle extent trees, allowing a local user to     cause a denial of service via an application with     multiple threads.

  - CVE-2017-18216     Alex Chen reported that the OCFS2 filesystem failed to     hold a necessary lock during nodemanager sysfs file     operations, potentially leading to a NULL pointer     dereference. A local user could use this for denial of     service.

  - CVE-2017-18218     Jun He reported a use-after-free flaw in the Hisilicon     HNS ethernet driver. A local user could use this for     denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-18222     It was reported that the Hisilicon Network Subsystem     (HNS) driver implementation does not properly handle     ethtool private flags. A local user could use this for     denial of service or possibly have other impact.

  - CVE-2017-18224     Alex Chen reported that the OCFS2 filesystem omits the     use of a semaphore and consequently has a race condition     for access to the extent tree during read operations in     DIRECT mode. A local user could use this for denial of     service.

  - CVE-2017-18241     Yunlei He reported that the f2fs implementation does not     properly initialise its state if the 'noflush_merge'     mount option is used. A local user with access to a     filesystem mounted with this option could use this to     cause a denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-18257     It was reported that the f2fs implementation is prone to     an infinite loop caused by an integer overflow in the
    __get_data_block() function. A local user can use this     for denial of service via crafted use of the open and     fallocate system calls with an FS_IOC_FIEMAP ioctl.

  - CVE-2018-1065     The syzkaller tool found a NULL pointer dereference flaw     in the netfilter subsystem when handling certain     malformed iptables rulesets. A local user with the     CAP_NET_RAW or CAP_NET_ADMIN capability (in any user     namespace) could use this to cause a denial of service.
    Debian disables unprivileged user namespaces by default.

  - CVE-2018-1066     Dan Aloni reported to Red Hat that the CIFS client     implementation would dereference a NULL pointer if the     server sent an invalid response during NTLMSSP setup     negotiation. This could be used by a malicious server     for denial of service.

  - CVE-2018-1068     The syzkaller tool found that the 32-bit compatibility     layer of ebtables did not sufficiently validate offset     values. On a 64-bit kernel, a local user with the     CAP_NET_ADMIN capability (in any user namespace) could     use this to overwrite kernel memory, possibly leading to     privilege escalation. Debian disables unprivileged user     namespaces by default.

  - CVE-2018-1092     Wen Xu reported that a crafted ext4 filesystem image     would trigger a null dereference when mounted. A local     user able to mount arbitrary filesystems could use this     for denial of service.

  - CVE-2018-1093     Wen Xu reported that a crafted ext4 filesystem image     could trigger an out-of-bounds read in the     ext4_valid_block_bitmap() function. A local user able to     mount arbitrary filesystems could use this for denial of     service.

  - CVE-2018-1108     Jann Horn reported that crng_ready() does not properly     handle the crng_init variable states and the RNG could     be treated as cryptographically safe too early after     system boot.

  - CVE-2018-5803     Alexey Kodanev reported that the SCTP protocol did not     range-check the length of chunks to be created. A local     or remote user could use this to cause a denial of     service.

  - CVE-2018-7480     Hou Tao discovered a double-free flaw in the     blkcg_init_queue() function in block/blk-cgroup.c. A     local user could use this to cause a denial of service     or have other impact.

  - CVE-2018-7566     Fan LongFei reported a race condition in the ALSA     (sound) sequencer core, between write and ioctl     operations. This could lead to an out-of-bounds access     or use-after-free. A local user with access to a     sequencer device could use this for denial of service or     possibly for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2018-7740     Nic Losby reported that the hugetlbfs filesystem's mmap     operation did not properly range-check the file offset.
    A local user with access to files on a hugetlbfs     filesystem could use this to cause a denial of service.

  - CVE-2018-7757     Jason Yan reported a memory leak in the SAS     (Serial-Attached SCSI) subsystem. A local user on a     system with SAS devices could use this to cause a denial     of service.

  - CVE-2018-7995     Seunghun Han reported a race condition in the x86 MCE     (Machine Check Exception) driver. This is unlikely to     have any security impact.

  - CVE-2018-8087     A memory leak flaw was found in the hwsim_new_radio_nl()     function in the simulated radio testing tool driver for     mac80211, allowing a local user to cause a denial of     service.

  - CVE-2018-8781     Eyal Itkin reported that the udl (DisplayLink) driver's     mmap operation did not properly range-check the file     offset. A local user with access to a udl framebuffer     device could exploit this to overwrite kernel memory,     leading to privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2018-8822     Dr Silvio Cesare of InfoSect reported that the ncpfs     client implementation did not validate reply lengths     from the server. An ncpfs server could use this to cause     a denial of service or remote code execution in the     client.

  - CVE-2018-10323     Wen Xu reported a NULL pointer dereference flaw in the     xfs_bmapi_write() function triggered when mounting and     operating a crafted xfs filesystem image. A local user     able to mount arbitrary filesystems could use this for     denial of service.

  - CVE-2018-1000199     Andy Lutomirski discovered that the ptrace subsystem did     not sufficiently validate hardware breakpoint settings.
    Local users can use this to cause a denial of service,     or possibly for privilege escalation, on x86 (amd64 and     i386) and possibly other architectures.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP3 kernel was updated to 4.4.126 to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2018-1091: In the flush_tmregs_to_thread function in     arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c, a guest kernel crash can     be triggered from unprivileged userspace during a core     dump on a POWER host due to a missing processor feature     check and an erroneous use of transactional memory (TM)     instructions in the core dump path, leading to a denial     of service (bnc#1087231).

  - CVE-2018-7740: The resv_map_release function in     mm/hugetlb.c allowed local users to cause a denial of     service (BUG) via a crafted application that made mmap     system calls and has a large pgoff argument to the     remap_file_pages system call (bnc#1084353).

  - CVE-2018-8043: The unimac_mdio_probe function in     drivers/net/phy/mdio-bcm-unimac.c did not validate     certain resource availability, which allowed local users     to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference)     (bnc#1084829).

  - CVE-2017-18257: The __get_data_block function in     fs/f2fs/data.c allowed 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. (bnc#1088241)

  - CVE-2018-8822: Incorrect buffer length handling in the     ncp_read_kernel function in fs/ncpfs/ncplib_kernel.c     could be exploited by malicious NCPFS servers to crash     the kernel or execute code (bnc#1086162).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.
