USN-3754-1

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 IPv6 SCTP implementation in net/sctp/ipv6.c in the     Linux kernel through 3.11.1 uses data structures and     function calls that do not trigger an intended     configuration of IPsec encryption, which allows remote     attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing     the network.(CVE-2013-4350i1/4%0

  - 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-2017-7187i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in can_can_gw_rcv in     net/can/gw.c in the Linux kernel through 4.19.13. The     CAN frame modification rules allow bitwise logical     operations that can be also applied to the can_dlc     field. Because of a missing check, the CAN drivers may     write arbitrary content beyond the data registers in     the CAN controller's I/O memory when processing can-gw     manipulated outgoing frames. This is related to     cgw_csum_xor_rel. An unprivileged user can trigger a     system crash (general protection     fault).(CVE-2019-3701i1/4%0

  - net/rds/sysctl.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19 uses     an incorrect data type in a sysctl table, which allows     local users to obtain potentially sensitive information     from kernel memory or possibly have unspecified other     impact by accessing a sysctl entry.(CVE-2015-2042i1/4%0

  - The inet_csk_clone_lock function in     net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c in the Linux kernel     allows attackers to cause a denial of service (double     free) or possibly have unspecified other impact by     leveraging use of the accept system call. An     unprivileged local user could use this flaw to induce     kernel memory corruption on the system, leading to a     crash. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege     escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we     believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2017-8890i1/4%0

  - The overlayfs implementation in the linux (aka Linux     kernel) package before 3.19.0-21.21 in Ubuntu through     15.04 does not properly check permissions for file     creation in the upper filesystem directory, which     allows local users to obtain root access by leveraging     a configuration in which overlayfs is permitted in an     arbitrary mount namespace.(CVE-2015-1328i1/4%0

  - The xfs_dinode_verify function in     fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_inode_buf.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.16.3 allows local users to cause a denial of     service (xfs_ilock_attr_map_shared invalid pointer     dereference) via a crafted xfs image.(CVE-2018-10322i1/4%0

  - In the flush_tmregs_to_thread function in     arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel before     4.13.5, 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.(CVE-2018-1091i1/4%0

  - ** DISPUTED ** 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-2018-10021i1/4%0

  - A use-after-free flaw was discovered in the Linux     kernel's tty subsystem, which allows for the disclosure     of uncontrolled memory location and possible kernel     panic. The information leak is caused by a race     condition when attempting to set and read the tty line     discipline. A local attacker could use the TIOCSETD     (via tty_set_ldisc ) to switch to a new line discipline     a concurrent call to a TIOCGETD ioctl performing a read     on a given tty could then access previously allocated     memory. Up to 4 bytes could be leaked when querying the     line discipline or the kernel could panic with a     NULL-pointer dereference.(CVE-2016-0723i1/4%0

  - An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the way the     Logitech Unifying receiver driver handled HID reports     with an invalid device_index value. An attacker with     physical access to the system could use this flaw to     crash the system or, potentially, escalate their     privileges on the system.(CVE-2014-3182i1/4%0

  - 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-2017-2584i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled     IRET faults during the processing of NMIs. An     unprivileged, local user could use this flaw to crash     the system or, potentially (although highly unlikely),     escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2015-5157i1/4%0

  - drivers/media/media-device.c in the Linux kernel before     3.11, as used in Android before 2016-08-05 on Nexus 5     and 7 (2013) devices, does not properly initialize     certain data structures, which allows local users to     obtain sensitive information via a crafted application,     aka Android internal bug 28750150 and Qualcomm internal     bug CR570757, a different vulnerability than     CVE-2014-1739.(CVE-2014-9895i1/4%0

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in sys_ioprio_get() was     found due to get_task_ioprio() accessing the     task-i1/4zio_context without holding the task lock and     could potentially race with exit_io_context(), leading     to a use-after-free.(CVE-2016-7911i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel which is related     to the user namespace lazily unmounting file systems.
    The fs_pin struct has two members (m_list and s_list)     which are usually initialized on use in the     pin_insert_group function. However, these members might     go unmodified in this case, the system panics when it     attempts to destroy or free them. This flaw could be     used to launch a denial-of-service     attack.(CVE-2015-4178i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of raw_sendmsg allowing a local attacker to panic the     kernel or possibly leak kernel addresses. A local     attacker, with the privilege of creating raw sockets,     can abuse a possible race condition when setting the     socket option to allow the kernel to automatically     create ip header values and thus potentially escalate     their privileges.(CVE-2017-17712i1/4%0

  - A flaw was discovered in the F2FS filesystem code in     fs/f2fs/super.c in the Linux kernel. A denial of     service, due to an out-of-bounds memory access, can     occur upon encountering an abnormal bitmap size when     mounting a crafted f2fs image.(CVE-2018-13096i1/4%0

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way     the Linux kernel's madvise MADV_WILLNEED functionality     handled page table locking. A local, unprivileged user     could use this flaw to crash the     system.(CVE-2014-8173i1/4%0

  - An out-of-bounds heap memory access leading to a Denial     of Service, heap disclosure, or further impact was     found in setsockopt(). The function call is normally     restricted to root, however some processes with     cap_sys_admin may also be able to trigger this flaw in     privileged container environments.(CVE-2016-4998i1/4%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 kvm package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The msr_mtrr_valid function in arch/x86/kvm/mtrr.c in     the Linux kernel before 4.6.1 supports MSR 0x2f8, which     allows guest OS users to read or write to the     kvm_arch_vcpu data structure, and consequently obtain     sensitive information or cause a denial of service     (system crash), via a crafted ioctl     call.(CVE-2016-3713)

  - Linux kernel built with the Kernel-based Virtual     Machine (CONFIG_KVM) support is vulnerable to a null     pointer dereference flaw. It could occur on x86     platform, when emulating an undefined instruction. An     attacker could use this flaw to crash the host kernel     resulting in DoS.(CVE-2016-8630)

  - Linux kernel built with the Kernel-based Virtual     Machine (CONFIG_KVM) support was vulnerable to an     incorrect segment selector(SS) value error. The error     could occur while loading values into the SS register     in long mode. A user or process inside a guest could     use this flaw to crash the guest, resulting in DoS or     potentially escalate their privileges inside the     guest.(CVE-2017-2583)

  - 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)

  - A reachable assertion failure flaw was found in the     Linux kernel built with KVM virtualisation(CONFIG_KVM)     support with Virtual Function I/O feature (CONFIG_VFIO)     enabled. This failure could occur if a malicious guest     device sent a virtual interrupt (guest IRQ) with a     larger (i1/4z1024) index value.(CVE-2017-1000252)

  - An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern     microprocessor designs have implemented speculative     execution of instructions (a commonly used performance     optimization). There are three primary variants of the     issue which differ in the way the speculative execution     can be exploited. Variant CVE-2017-5715 triggers the     speculative execution by utilizing branch target     injection. It relies on the presence of a     precisely-defined instruction sequence in the     privileged code as well as the fact that memory     accesses may cause allocation 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 cross the     syscall and guest/host boundaries and read privileged     memory by conducting targeted cache side-channel     attacks.(CVE-2017-5715)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux KVM module     processed the trap flag(TF) bit in EFLAGS during     emulation of the syscall instruction, which leads to a     debug exception(#DB) being raised in the guest stack. A     user/process inside a guest could use this flaw to     potentially escalate their privileges inside the guest.
    Linux guests are not affected by this.(CVE-2017-7518)

  - Linux kernel compiled with the KVM virtualization     (CONFIG_KVM) support is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds     read access issue. It could occur when emulating vmcall     instructions invoked by a guest. A guest user/process     could use this flaw to disclose kernel memory     bytes.(CVE-2017-17741)

  - Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative     execution and speculative execution of memory reads     before the addresses of all prior memory writes are     known may allow unauthorized disclosure of information     to an attacker with local user access via a     side-channel analysis, aka Speculative Store Bypass     (SSB), Variant 4.(CVE-2018-3639)

  - kernel: kvm: guest userspace to guest kernel     write(CVE-2018-10853)

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.20.8,     kvm_ioctl_create_device in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c     mishandles reference counting because of a race     condition, leading to a use-after-free.(CVE-2019-6974)

  - The KVM implementation in the Linux kernel through     4.20.5 has an Information Leak.(CVE-2019-7222)

  - The KVM implementation in the Linux kernel through     4.20.5 has a Use-after-Free.(CVE-2019-7221)

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 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)

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2017-1842 advisory.

  - The do_umount function in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17 does not require the     CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability for do_remount_sb calls that change the root filesystem to read-only, which     allows local users to cause a denial of service (loss of writability) by making certain unshare system     calls, clearing the / MNT_LOCKED flag, and making an MNT_FORCE umount system call. (CVE-2014-7975)

  - The proc_keys_show function in security/keys/proc.c in the Linux kernel through 4.8.2, when the GNU     Compiler Collection (gcc) stack protector is enabled, uses an incorrect buffer size for certain timeout     data, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (stack memory corruption and panic) by reading     the /proc/keys file. (CVE-2016-7042)

  - Race condition in the netlink_dump function in net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6.3     allows local users to cause a denial of service (double free) or possibly have unspecified other impact     via a crafted application that makes sendmsg system calls, leading to a free operation associated with a     new dump that started earlier than anticipated. (CVE-2016-9806)

  - The blk_rq_map_user_iov function in block/blk-map.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.14 does not properly     restrict the type of iterator, which allows local users to read or write to arbitrary kernel memory     locations or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging access to a /dev/sg device.
    (CVE-2016-9576)

  - The sg implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.9 does not properly restrict write operations in     situations where the KERNEL_DS option is set, which allows local users to read or write to arbitrary     kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging access to a /dev/sg     device, related to block/bsg.c and drivers/scsi/sg.c. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an     incomplete fix for CVE-2016-9576. (CVE-2016-10088)

  - The filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.8.2 preserves the setgid bit during a setxattr     call, which allows local users to gain group privileges by leveraging the existence of a setgid program     with restrictions on execute permissions. (CVE-2016-7097)

  - The sg_ioctl function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.4 allows local users to cause     a denial of service (stack-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact 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)

  - crypto/mcryptd.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.15 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL     pointer dereference and system crash) by using an AF_ALG socket with an incompatible algorithm, as     demonstrated by mcryptd(md5). (CVE-2016-10147)

  - arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9 mismanages the #BP and #OF exceptions, which allows     guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) by declining to handle an exception thrown by     an L2 guest. (CVE-2016-9588)

  - The nested_vmx_check_vmptr function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.8 improperly     emulates the VMXON instruction, which allows KVM L1 guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS     memory consumption) by leveraging the mishandling of page references. (CVE-2017-2596)

  - The TCP stack in the Linux kernel before 4.8.10 mishandles skb truncation, which allows local users to     cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted application that makes sendto system calls, related     to net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c and net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c. (CVE-2016-8645)

  - The ipv4_pktinfo_prepare function in net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.9 allows     attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via (1) an application that makes crafted system     calls or possibly (2) IPv4 traffic with invalid IP options. (CVE-2017-5970)

  - Race condition in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.7 allows local users to gain     privileges via a crafted application that makes concurrent perf_event_open system calls for moving a     software group into a hardware context. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for     CVE-2016-6786. (CVE-2017-6001)

  - The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.18 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial     of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via vectors involving a NULL value for a certain     match field, related to the keyring_search_iterator function in keyring.c. (CVE-2017-2647)

  - The inet_csk_clone_lock function in net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.15     allows attackers to cause a denial of service (double free) or possibly have unspecified other impact by     leveraging use of the accept system call. (CVE-2017-8890)

  - The tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock function in net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.1 mishandles     inheritance, which allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other     impact via crafted system calls, a related issue to CVE-2017-8890. (CVE-2017-9077)

  - The pivot_root implementation in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17 does not properly     interact with certain locations of a chroot directory, which allows local users to cause a denial of     service (mount-tree loop) via . (dot) values in both arguments to the pivot_root system call.
    (CVE-2014-7970)

  - crypto/algif_skcipher.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4.2 does not verify that a setkey operation has been     performed on an AF_ALG socket before an accept system call is processed, which allows local users to cause     a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted application that does not     supply a key, related to the lrw_crypt function in crypto/lrw.c. (CVE-2015-8970)

  - Race condition in the L2TPv3 IP Encapsulation feature in the Linux kernel before 4.8.14 allows local users     to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by making multiple bind system calls     without properly ascertaining whether a socket has the SOCK_ZAPPED status, related to net/l2tp/l2tp_ip.c     and net/l2tp/l2tp_ip6.c. (CVE-2016-10200)

  - fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9 does not restrict how many mounts may exist in a mount     namespace, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and deadlock) via     MS_BIND mount system calls, as demonstrated by a loop that triggers exponential growth in the number of     mounts. (CVE-2016-6213)

  - It was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.11-rc8 that root can gain direct access to an internal     keyring, such as '.dns_resolver' in RHEL-7 or '.builtin_trusted_keys' upstream, by joining it as its     session keyring. This allows root to bypass module signature verification by adding a new public key of     its own devising to the keyring. (CVE-2016-9604)

  - The ping_unhash function in net/ipv4/ping.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.8 is too late in obtaining a     certain lock and consequently cannot ensure that disconnect function calls are safe, which allows local     users to cause a denial of service (panic) by leveraging access to the protocol value of IPPROTO_ICMP in a     socket system call. (CVE-2017-2671)

  - The keyring_search_aux function in security/keys/keyring.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.79 allows     local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) via a request_key system call     for the dead type. (CVE-2017-6951)

  - Incorrect error handling in the set_mempolicy and mbind compat syscalls in mm/mempolicy.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.10.9 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from uninitialized stack data by     triggering failure of a certain bitmap operation. (CVE-2017-7616)

  - The mm subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.2 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 IPv6 fragmentation implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.11.1 does not consider that the     nexthdr field may be associated with an invalid option, which allows local users to cause a denial of     service (out-of-bounds read and BUG) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted socket and send     system calls. (CVE-2017-9074)

  - The dccp_v6_request_recv_sock function in net/dccp/ipv6.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.1 mishandles     inheritance, which allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other     impact via crafted system calls, a related issue to CVE-2017-8890. (CVE-2017-9076)

  - The __ip6_append_data function in net/ipv6/ip6_output.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.3 is too late in     checking whether an overwrite of an skb data structure may occur, which allows local users to cause a     denial of service (system crash) via crafted system calls. (CVE-2017-9242)

  - Multiple race conditions in the ext4 filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel before 4.5 allow local     users to cause a denial of service (disk corruption) by writing to a page that is associated with a     different user's file after unsynchronized hole punching and page-fault handling. (CVE-2015-8839)

  - Multiple memory leaks in error paths in fs/xfs/xfs_attr_list.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.1 allow     local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via crafted XFS filesystem operations.
    (CVE-2016-9685)

  - The NFSv4 server in the Linux kernel before 4.11.3 does not properly validate the layout type when     processing the NFSv4 pNFS GETDEVICEINFO or LAYOUTGET operand in a UDP packet from a remote attacker. This     type value is uninitialized upon encountering certain error conditions. This value is used as an array     index for dereferencing, which leads to an OOPS and eventually a DoS of knfsd and a soft-lockup of the     whole system. (CVE-2017-8797)

  - The sctp_v6_create_accept_sk function in net/sctp/ipv6.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.1 mishandles     inheritance, which allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other     impact via crafted system calls, a related issue to CVE-2017-8890. (CVE-2017-9075)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue 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 have other impacts.

  - CVE-2016-6786 / CVE-2016-6787     It was discovered that the performance events subsystem     does not properly manage locks during certain     migrations, allowing a local attacker to escalate     privileges. This can be mitigated by disabling     unprivileged use of performance events:sysctl     kernel.perf_event_paranoid=3

  - CVE-2016-8405     Peter Pi of Trend Micro discovered that the frame buffer     video subsystem does not properly check bounds while     copying color maps to userspace, causing a heap buffer     out-of-bounds read, leading to information disclosure.

  - CVE-2016-9191     CAI Qian discovered that reference counting is not     properly handled within proc_sys_readdir in the sysctl     implementation, allowing a local denial of service     (system hang) or possibly privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2017-2583     Xiaohan Zhang reported that KVM for amd64 does not     correctly emulate loading of a null stack selector. This     can be used by a user in a guest VM for denial of     service (on an Intel CPU) or to escalate privileges     within the VM (on an AMD CPU).

  - CVE-2017-2584     Dmitry Vyukov reported that KVM for x86 does not     correctly emulate memory access by the SGDT and SIDT     instructions, which can result in a use-after-free and     information leak.

  - CVE-2017-2596     Dmitry Vyukov reported that KVM leaks page references     when emulating a VMON for a nested hypervisor. This can     be used by a privileged user in a guest VM for denial of     service or possibly to gain privileges in the host.

  - CVE-2017-2618     It was discovered that an off-by-one in the handling of     SELinux attributes in /proc/pid/attr could result in     local denial of service.
