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 pagemap_open function in fs/proc/task_mmu.c in the     Linux kernel before 3.19.3, as used in Android 6.0.1     before 2016-03-01, allows local users to obtain     sensitive physical-address information by reading a     pagemap file, aka Android internal bug     25739721.(CVE-2016-0823)

  - drivers/hid/hid-steelseries.c in the Human Interface     Device (HID) subsystem in the Linux kernel through     3.11, when CONFIG_HID_STEELSERIES is enabled, allows     physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of     service (heap-based out-of-bounds write) via a crafted     device.(CVE-2013-2891)

  - The overlayfs implementation in the Linux kernel     through 4.5.2 does not properly maintain POSIX ACL     xattr data, which allows local users to gain privileges     by leveraging a group-writable setgid     directory.(CVE-2016-1575)

  - Integer overflow in the vc4_get_bcl function in     drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_gem.c in the VideoCore DRM     driver in the Linux kernel before 4.9.7 allows local     users to cause a denial of service or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted size value in a     VC4_SUBMIT_CL ioctl call.(CVE-2017-5576)

  - The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.12.5     allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial     of service (system crash) via a VAPIC synchronization     operation involving a page-end address.(CVE-2013-6368)

  - 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)

  - net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto_dccp.c in the Linux     kernel through 3.13.6 uses a DCCP header pointer     incorrectly, which allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute     arbitrary code via a DCCP packet that triggers a call     to the (1) dccp_new, (2) dccp_packet, or (3) dccp_error     function.(CVE-2014-2523)

  - Race condition vulnerability was found in     drivers/misc/mic/vop/vop_vringh.c in the MIC VOP driver     in the Linux kernel before 4.6.1. MIC VOP driver does     two successive reads from user space to read a variable     length data structure. Local user can obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory or can cause DoS by     corrupting kernel memory if the data structure changes     between the two reads.(CVE-2016-5728)

  - An issue was discovered in the btrfs filesystem code in     the Linux kernel. An invalid pointer dereference in     io_ctl_map_page() when mounting and operating a crafted     btrfs image is due to a lack of block group item     validation in check_leaf_item() in     fs/btrfs/tree-checker.c function. This could lead to a     system crash and a denial of service.(CVE-2018-14613)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled GS     segment register base switching when recovering from a     #SS (stack segment) fault on an erroneous return to     user space. A local, unprivileged user could use this     flaw to escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2014-9322)

  - 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)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's XFS file     system handled replacing of remote attributes under     certain conditions. A local user with access to XFS     file system mount could potentially use this flaw to     escalate their privileges on the system.(CVE-2015-0274)

  - A memory leak in the kernel_read_file function in     fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel through 4.20.11 allows     attackers to cause a denial of service (memory     consumption) by triggering vfs_read     failures.(CVE-2019-8980)

  - A flaw was found in the kernel's implementation of the     Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF). A local attacker could     craft BPF code to crash the system by creating a     situation in which the JIT compiler would fail to     correctly optimize the JIT image on the last pass. This     would lead to the CPU executing instructions that were     not part of the JIT code.(CVE-2015-4700)

  - A security flaw was discovered in     nl80211_set_rekey_data() function in the Linux kernel     since v3.1-rc1 through v4.13. This function does not     check whether the required attributes are present in a     netlink request. This request can be issued by a user     with CAP_NET_ADMIN privilege and may result in NULL     dereference and a system crash.(CVE-2017-12153)

  - The atyfb_ioctl function in     drivers/video/fbdev/aty/atyfb_base.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.12.10 does not initialize a certain     data structure, which allows local users to obtain     sensitive information from kernel stack memory by     reading locations associated with padding     bytes.(CVE-2017-14156)

  - kernel/events/core.c in the performance subsystem in     the Linux kernel before 4.0 mismanages locks during     certain migrations, which allows local users to gain     privileges via a crafted application, aka Android     internal bug 31095224.(CVE-2016-6787)

  - The ioresources_init function in kernel/resource.c in     the Linux kernel through 4.7, as used in Android before     2016-08-05 on Nexus 6 and 7 (2013) devices, uses weak     permissions for /proc/iomem, which allows local users     to obtain sensitive information by reading this file,     aka Android internal bug 28814213 and Qualcomm internal     bug CR786116. NOTE: the permissions may be intentional     in most non-Android contexts.(CVE-2015-8944)

  - Race condition in the ioctl_file_dedupe_range function     in fs/ioctl.c in the Linux kernel through 4.7 allows     local users to cause a denial of service (heap-based     buffer overflow) or possibly gain privileges by     changing a certain count value, aka a 'double fetch'     vulnerability.(CVE-2016-6516)

  - It was found that the timer functionality in the Linux     kernel ALSA subsystem is prone to a race condition     between read and ioctl system call handlers, resulting     in an uninitialized memory disclosure to user space. A     local user could use this flaw to read information     belonging to other users.(CVE-2017-1000380)

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->sigev_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->match 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)

  - CVE-2017-9242: The __ip6_append_data function in     net/ipv6/ip6_output.c in the Linux kernel was too late     in checking whether an overwrite of an skb data     structure may occur, which allowed local users to cause     a denial of service (system crash) via crafted system     calls (bnc#1041431).

  - CVE-2017-10661: Race condition in fs/timerfd.c in the     Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or     cause a denial of service (list corruption or     use-after-free) via simultaneous file-descriptor     operations that leverage improper might_cancel queueing     (bnc#1053152).

  - CVE-2017-11176: The mq_notify function in the Linux     kernel did not set the sock pointer to NULL upon entry     into the retry logic. During a user-space close of a     Netlink socket, it allowed attackers to cause a denial     of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified     other impact (bnc#1048275).

  - CVE-2017-11473: Buffer overflow in the     mp_override_legacy_irq() function in     arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c in the Linux kernel allowed     local users to gain privileges via a crafted ACPI table     (bnc#1049603).

  - CVE-2017-12762: In /drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_net.c: A     user-controlled buffer is copied into a local buffer of     constant size using strcpy without a length check which     can cause a buffer overflow. (bnc#1053148).

  - CVE-2017-1000112: Fixed a race condition in net-packet     code that could have been exploited by unprivileged     users to gain root access. (bsc#1052311).

  - CVE-2017-1000363: Linux drivers/char/lp.c Out-of-Bounds     Write. Due to a missing bounds check, and the fact that     parport_ptr integer is static, a 'secure boot' kernel     command line adversary could have overflowed the     parport_nr array in the following code (bnc#1039456).

  - CVE-2017-1000365: The Linux Kernel imposes a size     restriction on the arguments and environmental strings     passed through RLIMIT_STACK/RLIM_INFINITY (1/4 of the     size), but did not take the argument and environment     pointers into account, which allowed attackers to bypass     this limitation (bnc#1039354).

  - CVE-2017-1000380: sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel     was vulnerable to a data race in the ALSA /dev/snd/timer     driver resulting in local users being able to read     information belonging to other users, i.e.,     uninitialized memory contents may be disclosed when a     read and an ioctl happen at the same time (bnc#1044125).

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

The remote Oracle Linux host is missing a security update for the kernel package(s).

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

  - The regulator_ena_gpio_free function in     drivers/regulator/core.c in the Linux kernel allows     local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of     service (use-after-free) via a crafted     application.(CVE-2014-9940)

  - Race condition in the sctp_wait_for_sndbuf function in     net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.11     allows local users to cause a denial of service     (assertion failure and panic) via a multithreaded     application that peels off an association in a certain     buffer-full state.(CVE-2017-5986)

  - 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. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of     an incorrect fix for CVE-2017-5986.(CVE-2017-6353)

  - The ipxitf_ioctl function in net/ipx/af_ipx.c in the     Linux kernel through 4.11.1 mishandles reference     counts, which allows local users to cause a denial of     service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via a failed SIOCGIFADDR ioctl call for an     IPX interface.(CVE-2017-7487)

  - fs/ext4/inode.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6.2, when     ext4 data=ordered mode is used, mishandles a     needs-flushing-before-commit list, which allows local     users to obtain sensitive information from other users'     files in opportunistic circumstances by waiting for a     hardware reset, creating a new file, making write     system calls, and reading this file.(CVE-2017-7495)

  - The NFSv2/NFSv3 server in the nfsd subsystem in the     Linux kernel through 4.10.11 allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (system crash) via a long RPC     reply, related to net/sunrpc/svc.c, fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c,     and fs/nfsd/nfsxdr.c.(CVE-2017-7645)

  - 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 edge_bulk_in_callback function in     drivers/usb/serial/io_ti.c in the Linux kernel before     4.10.4 allows local users to obtain sensitive     information (in the dmesg ringbuffer and syslog) from     uninitialized kernel memory by using a crafted USB     device (posing as an io_ti USB serial device) to     trigger an integer underflow.(CVE-2017-8924)

  - 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 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)

  - 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 __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)

  - The ext4_fill_super function in fs/ext4/super.c in the     Linux kernel through 4.9.8 does not properly validate     meta block groups, which allows physically proximate     attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds     read and system crash) via a crafted ext4     image.(CVE-2016-10208)

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1 kernel was updated to 3.12.74 to receive various security and bugfixes. Notable new/improved features :

  - Improved support for Hyper-V

  - Support for the tcp_westwood TCP scheduling algorithm     The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-8106: The handle_invept function in     arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel allowed     privileged KVM guest OS users to cause a denial of     service (NULL pointer dereference and host OS crash) via     a single-context INVEPT instruction with a NULL EPT     pointer (bsc#1035877).

  - CVE-2017-6951: The keyring_search_aux function in     security/keys/keyring.c in the Linux kernel allowed     local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and OOPS) via a request_key system call for     the 'dead' type. (bsc#1029850).

  - CVE-2017-2647: The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel     allowed 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. (bsc#1030593)

  - CVE-2016-9604: This fixes handling of keyrings starting     with '.' in KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING, which could     have allowed local users to manipulate privileged     keyrings (bsc#1035576)

  - CVE-2017-7616: Incorrect error handling in the     set_mempolicy and mbind compat syscalls in     mm/mempolicy.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users     to obtain sensitive information from uninitialized stack     data by triggering failure of a certain bitmap     operation. (bnc#1033336).

  - CVE-2017-7645: The NFSv2/NFSv3 server in the nfsd     subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a long     RPC reply, related to net/sunrpc/svc.c,     fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c, and fs/nfsd/nfsxdr.c. (bsc#1034670).

  - CVE-2017-7308: The packet_set_ring function in     net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel did not     properly validate certain block-size data, which allowed     local users to cause a denial of service (overflow) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted     system calls (bnc#1031579)

  - CVE-2017-2671: The ping_unhash function in     net/ipv4/ping.c in the Linux kernel was too late in     obtaining a certain lock and consequently could not     ensure that disconnect function calls are safe, which     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (panic)     by leveraging access to the protocol value of     IPPROTO_ICMP in a socket system call (bnc#1031003)

  - CVE-2017-7294: The vmw_surface_define_ioctl function in     drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux     kernel did not validate addition of certain levels data,     which allowed local users to trigger an integer overflow     and out-of-bounds write, and cause a denial of service     (system hang or crash) or possibly gain privileges, via     a crafted ioctl call for a /dev/dri/renderD* device     (bnc#1031440)

  - CVE-2017-7261: The vmw_surface_define_ioctl function in     drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux     kernel did not check for a zero value of certain levels     data, which allowed local users to cause a denial of     service (ZERO_SIZE_PTR dereference, and GPF and possibly     panic) via a crafted ioctl call for a /dev/dri/renderD*     device (bnc#1031052)

  - CVE-2017-7187: The sg_ioctl function in     drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux kernel allowed 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 (bnc#1030213)

According to the version of the vzkernel package and the readykernel-patch installed, the Virtuozzo installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - It was found that keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring() function     leaked thread keyring which could allow an unprivileged     local user to exhaust kernel memory.

  - net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.1     did not properly restrict association peel-off     operations during certain wait states, which allowed     local users to cause a denial of service (invalid     unlock and double free) via a multithreaded     application.

  - Race condition in the sctp_wait_for_sndbuf function in     net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.11     could allow local users to cause a denial of service     (assertion failure and panic) via a multithreaded     application that peeled off an association in a certain     buffer-full state.

  - Andrey Konovalov discovered that signed integer     overflows existed in the setsockopt() system call when     handling the SO_SNDBUFFORCE and SO_RCVBUFFORCE options.
    A local attacker with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     could use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash or memory corruption).

  - A vulnerability was discovered in the handling of pid     namespaces in the kernel. A privileged user inside a     container could trigger a kernel crash (NULL pointer     dereference in proc_flush_task()) using a sequence of     system calls including wait4().

Possible double free in stcp_sendmsg() (incorrect fix for CVE-2017-5986) :

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).

Reachable BUG_ON from userspace in sctp_wait_for_sndbuf :

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)

Shmat allows mmap null page protection bypass :

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)

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

CVE-2016-9588

Jim Mattson discovered that the KVM implementation for Intel x86 processors does not properly handle #BP and #OF exceptions in an L2 (nested) virtual machine. A local attacker in an L2 guest VM can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service for the L1 guest VM.

CVE-2017-2636

Alexander Popov discovered a race condition flaw in the n_hdlc line discipline that can lead to a double free. A local unprivileged user can take advantage of this flaw for privilege escalation. On systems that do not already have the n_hdlc module loaded, this can be mitigated by disabling it: echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-n_hdlc.conf install n_hdlc false

CVE-2017-5669

Gareth Evans reported that privileged users can map memory at address 0 through the shmat() system call. This could make it easier to exploit other kernel security vulnerabilities via a set-UID program.

CVE-2017-5986

Alexander Popov reported a race condition in the SCTP implementation that can be used by local users to cause a denial of service (crash).
The initial fix for this was incorrect and introduced further security issues (CVE-2017-6353). This update includes a later fix that avoids those. On systems that do not already have the sctp module loaded, this can be mitigated by disabling it: echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-sctp.conf install sctp false

CVE-2017-6214

Dmitry Vyukov reported a bug in the TCP implementation's handling of urgent data in the splice() system call. This can be used by a remote attacker for denial of service (hang) against applications that read from TCP sockets with splice().

CVE-2017-6345

Andrey Konovalov reported that the LLC type 2 implementation incorrectly assigns socket buffer ownership. This might be usable by a local user to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or privilege escalation. On systems that do not already have the llc2 module loaded, this can be mitigated by disabling it: echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-llc2.conf install llc2 false

CVE-2017-6346

Dmitry Vyukov reported a race condition in the raw packet (af_packet) fanout feature. Local users with the CAP_NET_RAW capability (in any user namespace) can use this for denial of service and possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2017-6348

Dmitry Vyukov reported that the general queue implementation in the IrDA subsystem does not properly manage multiple locks, possibly allowing local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) via crafted operations on IrDA devices.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 3.2.86-1.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 3.16.39-1+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.
