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 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):The uas driver in the     Linux kernel before 4.13.6 allows local users to cause     a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system     crash), or possibly have unspecified other impacts via     a crafted USB device, related to     drivers/usb/storage/uas-detect.h and     drivers/usb/storage/uas.c.(CVE-2017-16530)The     implementation of big key management in     security/keys/big_key.c in the Linux kernel before     4.8.7 mishandles unsuccessful crypto registration in     conjunction with successful key-type registration,     which allows local users to cause a denial of service     (NULL pointer dereference and panic) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted application that     uses the big_key data type.(CVE-2016-9313)The Linux     kernel allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary     code via UDP traffic that triggers an unsafe second     checksum calculation during execution of a recv system     call with the MSG_PEEK flag. This may create a kernel     panic or memory corruption leading to privilege     escalation.(CVE-2016-10229)Buffer overflow in the     exitcode_proc_write function in     arch/um/kernel/exitcode.c in the Linux kernel before     3.12 allows local users to cause a denial of service or     possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging     root privileges for a write operation.(CVE-2013-4512)It     was found that unsharing a mount namespace could allow     a user to see data beneath their restricted     namespace.(CVE-2014-9717)A divide-by-zero flaw was     discovered in the Linux kernel built with KVM     virtualization support(CONFIG_KVM). The flaw occurs in     the KVM module's Programmable Interval Timer(PIT)     emulation, when PIT counters for channel 1 or 2 are set     to zero(0) and a privileged user inside the guest     attempts to read these counters. A privileged guest     user with access to PIT I/O ports could exploit this     issue to crash the host kernel (denial of     service).(CVE-2015-7513)The ims_pcu_parse_cdc_data     function in drivers/input/misc/ims-pcu.c in the Linux     kernel before 4.5.1 allows physically proximate     attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash)     via a USB device without both a master and a slave     interface.(CVE-2016-3689)Stack-based buffer overflow in     the brcmf_cfg80211_start_ap() function in     'driverset/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg8021     1.c' in the Linux kernel before 4.7.5 allows local     users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a long SSID     Information Element in a command to a Netlink     socket.(CVE-2016-8658)drivers/hid/hid-sony.c in the     Human Interface Device (HID) subsystem in the Linux     kernel through 3.11, when CONFIG_HID_SONY is enabled,     allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial     of service (heap-based out-of-bounds write) via a     crafted device.(CVE-2013-2890)An issue where a provided     address with access_ok() is not checked was discovered     in i915_gem_execbuffer2_ioctl in     drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_execbuffer.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.19.13. A local attacker can craft a     malicious IOCTL function call to overwrite arbitrary     kernel memory, resulting in a Denial of Service or     privilege escalation.(CVE-2018-20669)It was found that     the permission checks performed by the Linux kernel     when a netlink message was received were not     sufficient. A local, unprivileged user could     potentially bypass these restrictions by passing a     netlink socket as stdout or stderr to a more privileged     process and altering the output of this     process.(CVE-2014-0181)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)The     irda_setsockopt function in net/irda/af_irda.c in the     Linux kernel, through 4.16, allows local users to cause     a denial of service (due to a use-after-free of the     ias_object and a system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact by leveraging an AF_IRDA     socket.(CVE-2018-6555)The x86/fpu (Floating Point Unit)     subsystem in the Linux kernel, when a processor     supports the xsave feature but not the xsaves feature,     does not correctly handle attempts to set reserved bits     in the xstate header via the ptrace() or rt_sigreturn()     system call. This allows local users to read the FPU     registers of other processes on the system, related to     arch/x86/kernel/fpu/regset.c and     arch/x86/kernel/fpu/signal.c.(CVE-2017-15537)The     fst_get_iface function in driverset/wan/farsync.c in     the Linux kernel before 3.11.7 does not properly     initialize a certain data structure, which allows local     users to obtain sensitive information from kernel     memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for     an SIOCWANDEV ioctl call.(CVE-2014-1444)In the Linux     kernel, through 4.15.4, the floppy driver reveals the     addresses of kernel functions and global variables     using printk calls within the function show_floppy in     drivers/block/floppy.c. An attacker can read this     information from dmesg and use the addresses to find     the locations of kernel code and data and bypass kernel     security protections such as KASLR.(CVE-2018-7273)A     flaw in 'arch/arm64/kernel/sys.c' in the Linux kernel     allows local users to bypass the 'strict page     permissions' protection mechanism and modify the     system-call table and, consequently, gain privileges by     leveraging write access.(CVE-2015-8967)The Linux kernel     before 3.11 on ARM platforms, as used in Android before     2016-08-05 on Nexus 5 and 7 (2013) devices, does not     properly consider user-space access to the TPIDRURW     register, which allows local users to gain privileges     via a crafted application, aka Android internal bug     28749743 and Qualcomm internal bug     CR561044.(CVE-2014-9870)A NULL pointer dereference     security flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the     vcpu_scan_ioapic() function in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c. This     allows local users with certain privileges to cause a     denial of service via a crafted system call to the KVM     subsystem.(CVE-2018-19407)It was found that current     implementation of kl5kusb105 driver failed to detect     short transfers when attempting to read the line state     and logged the content of the uninitialized heap     transfer buffer.(CVE-2017-5549)

  - 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.

  - CVE-2017-5549     It was discovered that the KLSI KL5KUSB105 serial USB     device driver could log the contents of uninitialised     kernel memory, resulting in an information leak.

  - CVE-2017-5551     Jan Kara found that changing the POSIX ACL of a file on     tmpfs never cleared its set-group-ID flag, which should     be done if the user changing it is not a member of the     group-owner. In some cases, this would allow the     user-owner of an executable to gain the privileges of     the group-owner.

  - CVE-2017-5897     Andrey Konovalov discovered an out-of-bounds read flaw     in the ip6gre_err function in the IPv6 networking code.

  - CVE-2017-5970     Andrey Konovalov discovered a denial-of-service flaw in     the IPv4 networking code. This can be triggered by a     local or remote attacker if a local UDP or raw socket     has the IP_RETOPTS option enabled.

  - CVE-2017-6001     Di Shen discovered a race condition between concurrent     calls to the performance events subsystem, allowing a     local attacker to escalate privileges. This flaw exists     because of an incomplete fix of CVE-2016-6786. This can     be mitigated by disabling unprivileged use of     performance events: sysctl kernel.perf_event_paranoid=3

  - CVE-2017-6074     Andrey Konovalov discovered a use-after-free     vulnerability in the DCCP networking code, which could     result in denial of service or local privilege     escalation. On systems that do not already have the dccp     module loaded, this can be mitigated by disabling     it:echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-dccp.conf install     dccp false

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

CVE-2014-9888

Russell King found that on ARM systems, memory allocated for DMA buffers was mapped with executable permission. This made it easier to exploit other vulnerabilities in the kernel.

CVE-2014-9895

Dan Carpenter found that the MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_LINKS ioctl on media devices resulted in an information leak.

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-2017-5549

It was discovered that the KLSI KL5KUSB105 serial USB device driver could log the contents of uninitialised kernel memory, resulting in an information leak.

CVE-2017-6001

Di Shen discovered a race condition between concurrent calls to the performance events subsystem, allowing a local attacker to escalate privileges. This flaw exists because of an incomplete fix of CVE-2016-6786. This can be mitigated by disabling unprivileged use of performance events: sysctl kernel.perf_event_paranoid=3

CVE-2017-6074

Andrey Konovalov discovered a use-after-free vulnerability in the DCCP networking code, which could result in denial of service or local privilege escalation. On systems that do not already have the dccp module loaded, this can be mitigated by disabling it: echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-dccp.conf install dccp false

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 3.2.84-2.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 3.16.39-1+deb8u1 or earlier.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.
