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

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

  - In do_epoll_ctl and ep_loop_check_proc of eventpoll.c,     there is a possible use after free due to a logic     error. This could lead to local escalation of privilege     with no additional execution privileges needed. User     interaction is not needed for     exploitation.(CVE-2020-0466)

  - fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c in the Linux kernel through 5.10.8,     when there is an NFS export of a subdirectory of a     filesystem, allows remote attackers to traverse to     other parts of the filesystem via READDIRPLUS. NOTE:
    some parties argue that such a subdirectory export is     not intended to prevent this attack see also the     exports(5) no_subtree_check default     behavior.(CVE-2021-3178)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     5.11.3. A kernel pointer leak can be used to determine     the address of the iscsi_transport structure. When an     iSCSI transport is registered with the iSCSI subsystem,     the transport's handle is available to unprivileged     users via the sysfs file system, at     /sys/class/iscsi_transport/$TRANSPORT_NAME/handle. When     read, the show_transport_handle function (in     drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c) is called, which     leaks the handle. This handle is actually the pointer     to an iscsi_transport struct in the kernel module's     global variables.(CVE-2021-27363)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     5.11.3. drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c is     adversely affected by the ability of an unprivileged     user to craft Netlink messages.(CVE-2021-27364)

  - A race condition was found in the Linux kernels     implementation of the floppy disk drive controller     driver software. The impact of this issue is lessened     by the fact that the default permissions on the floppy     device (/dev/fd0) are restricted to root. If the     permissions on the device have changed the impact     changes greatly. In the default configuration root (or     equivalent) permissions are required to attack this     flaw.(CVE-2021-20261)

  - In fs/ocfs2/cluster/nodemanager.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.15, local users can cause a denial of service     (NULL pointer dereference and BUG) because a required     mutex is not used.(CVE-2017-18216)

  - The omninet_open function in     drivers/usb/serial/omninet.c in the Linux kernel before     4.10.4 allows local users to cause a denial of service     (tty exhaustion) by leveraging reference count     mishandling.(CVE-2017-8925)

    The highest threat from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality, integrity, as well as system     availability.(CVE-2020-35519)

  - There is a flaw reported in the Linux kernel in     versions before 5.9 in     drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_sgdma.c in     nouveau_sgdma_create_ttm in Nouveau DRM subsystem. The     issue results from the lack of validating the existence     of an object prior to performing operations on the     object. An attacker with a local account with a root     privilege, can leverage this vulnerability to escalate     privileges and execute code in the context of the     kernel.(CVE-2021-20292)

  - In drivers/pci/hotplug/rpadlpar_sysfs.c in the Linux     kernel through 5.11.8, the RPA PCI Hotplug driver has a     user-tolerable buffer overflow when writing a new     device name to the driver from userspace, allowing     userspace to write data to the kernel stack frame     directly. This occurs because add_slot_store and     remove_slot_store mishandle drc_name '\0' termination,     aka CID-cc7a0bb058b8.(CVE-2021-28972)

  - A race condition was discovered in get_old_root in     fs/btrfs/ctree.c in the Linux kernel through 5.11.8. It     allows attackers to cause a denial of service (BUG)     because of a lack of locking on an extent buffer before     a cloning operation, aka     CID-dbcc7d57bffc.(CVE-2021-28964)

    (CVE-2017-0861)

  - 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 (>1024) index value. (CVE-2017-1000252)

  - Linux kernel Virtualization Module (CONFIG_KVM) for the     Intel processor family (CONFIG_KVM_INTEL) is vulnerable     to a DoS issue. It could occur if a guest was to flood     the I/O port 0x80 with write requests. A guest user     could use this flaw to crash the host kernel resulting     in DoS. (CVE-2017-1000407)

  - A flaw was found in the processing of incoming L2CAP     bluetooth commands. Uninitialized stack variables can be     sent to an attacker leaking data in kernel address     space. (CVE-2017-1000410)

  - A race condition was found in the Linux kernel before     version 4.11-rc1 in 'fs/timerfd.c' file which allows a     local user to cause a kernel list corruption or use-     after-free via simultaneous operations with a file     descriptor which leverage improper 'might_cancel'     queuing. An unprivileged local user could use this flaw     to cause a denial of service of the system. Due to the     nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully     ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely.
    (CVE-2017-10661)

  - Linux kernel built with the KVM visualization support     (CONFIG_KVM), with nested visualization (nVMX) feature     enabled (nested=1), is vulnerable to a crash due to     disabled external interrupts. As L2 guest could access     (r/w) hardware CR8 register of the host(L0). In a nested     visualization setup, L2 guest user could use this flaw     to potentially crash the host(L0) resulting in DoS.
    (CVE-2017-12154)

  - It was found that in the Linux kernel through v4.14-rc5,     bio_map_user_iov() and bio_unmap_user() in 'block/bio.c'     do unbalanced pages refcounting if IO vector has small     consecutive buffers belonging to the same page.
    bio_add_pc_page() merges them into one, but the page     reference is never dropped, causing a memory leak and     possible system lockup due to out-of-memory condition.
    (CVE-2017-12190)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of     valid_master_desc() in which a memory buffer would be     compared to a userspace value with an incorrect size of     comparison. By bruteforcing the comparison, an attacker     could determine what was in memory after the description     and possibly obtain sensitive information from kernel     memory. (CVE-2017-13305)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in a network     namespaces code affecting the Linux kernel since     v4.0-rc1 through v4.15-rc5. The function     get_net_ns_by_id() does not check for the net::count     value after it has found a peer network in netns_ids idr     which could lead to double free and memory corruption.
    This vulnerability could allow an unprivileged local     user 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     it is thought to be unlikely. (CVE-2017-15129)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found when issuing an     ioctl to a sound device. This could allow a user to     exploit a race condition and create memory corruption or     possibly privilege escalation. (CVE-2017-15265)

  - A flaw was found in the implementation of associative     arrays where the add_key systemcall and KEYCTL_UPDATE     operations allowed for a NULL payload with a nonzero     length. When accessing the payload within this length     parameters value, an unprivileged user could trivially     cause a NULL pointer dereference (kernel oops).
    (CVE-2017-15274)

  - The net/netfilter/nfnetlink_cthelper.c function in the     Linux kernel through 4.14.4 does not require the     CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for new, get, and del     operations. This allows local users to bypass intended     access restrictions because the nfnl_cthelper_list data     structure is shared across all net namespaces.
    (CVE-2017-17448)

  - The __netlink_deliver_tap_skb function in     net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel, through     4.14.4, does not restrict observations of Netlink     messages to a single net namespace, when CONFIG_NLMON is     enabled. This allows local users to obtain sensitive     information by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     to sniff an nlmon interface for all Netlink activity on     the system. (CVE-2017-17449)

  - The usb_destroy_configuration() function, in     'drivers/usb/core/config.c' in the USB core subsystem,     in the Linux kernel through 4.14.5 does not consider the     maximum number of configurations and interfaces before     attempting to release resources. This allows local users     to cause a denial of service, due to out-of-bounds write     access, or possibly have unspecified other impact via a     crafted USB device. Due to the nature of the flaw,     privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although     we believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2017-17558)

  - The Salsa20 encryption algorithm in the Linux kernel,     before 4.14.8, does not correctly handle zero-length     inputs. This allows a local attacker the ability to use     the AF_ALG-based skcipher interface to cause a denial of     service (uninitialized-memory free and kernel crash) or     have an unspecified other impact by executing a crafted     sequence of system calls that use the blkcipher_walk     API. Both the generic implementation     (crypto/salsa20_generic.c) and x86 implementation     (arch/x86/crypto/salsa20_glue.c) of Salsa20 are     vulnerable. (CVE-2017-17805)

  - The tcpmss_mangle_packet function in     net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c in the Linux kernel before     4.11, and 4.9.x before 4.9.36, allows remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and memory     corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by     leveraging the presence of xt_TCPMSS in an iptables     action. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege     escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we     believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2017-18017)

  - The Linux kernel, before version 4.14.3, is vulnerable     to a denial of service in     drivers/md/dm.c:dm_get_from_kobject() which can be     caused by local users leveraging a race condition with
    __dm_destroy() during creation and removal of DM     devices. Only privileged local users (with CAP_SYS_ADMIN     capability) can directly perform the ioctl operations     for dm device creation and removal and this would     typically be outside the direct control of the     unprivileged attacker. (CVE-2017-18203)

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

  - A flaw was found where the kernel truncated the value     used to indicate the size of a buffer which it would     later become zero using an untruncated value. This can     corrupt memory outside of the original allocation.
    (CVE-2017-9725)

  - In the Linux kernel versions 4.12, 3.10, 2.6, and     possibly earlier, a race condition vulnerability exists     in the sound system allowing for a potential deadlock     and memory corruption due to use-after-free condition     and thus denial of service. Due to the nature of the     flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out,     although we believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2018-1000004)

  - Improper validation in the bnx2x network card driver of     the Linux kernel version 4.15 can allow for denial of     service (DoS) attacks via a packet with a gso_size     larger than ~9700 bytes. Untrusted guest VMs can exploit     this vulnerability in the host machine, causing a crash     in the network card. (CVE-2018-1000026)

  - By mmap()ing a FUSE-backed file onto a process's memory     containing command line arguments (or environment     strings), an attacker can cause utilities from psutils     or procps (such as ps, w) or any other program which     makes a read() call to the /proc//cmdline (or     /proc//environ) files to block indefinitely (denial     of service) or for some controlled time (as a     synchronization primitive for other attacks).
    (CVE-2018-1120)

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

  - An issue was discovered in the proc_pid_stack function     in fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel. An attacker with     a local account can trick the stack unwinder code to     leak stack contents to userspace. The fix allows only     root to inspect the kernel stack of an arbitrary task.
    (CVE-2018-17972)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel with files on tmpfs     and hugetlbfs. An attacker is able to bypass file     permissions on filesystems mounted with tmpfs/hugetlbs     to modify a file and possibly disrupt normal system     behavior. At this time there is an understanding there     is no crash or privilege escalation but the impact of     modifications on these filesystems of files in     production systems may have adverse affects.
    (CVE-2018-18397)

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.17, a local attacker able     to set attributes on an xfs filesystem could make this     filesystem non-operational until the next mount by     triggering an unchecked error condition during an xfs     attribute change, because xfs_attr_shortform_addname in     fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr.c mishandles ATTR_REPLACE     operations with conversion of an attr from short to long     form. (CVE-2018-18690)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handling of     loopback devices. An attacker, who has permissions to     setup loopback disks, may create a denial of service or     other unspecified actions. (CVE-2018-5344)

  - The acpi_smbus_hc_add function in drivers/acpi/sbshc.c     in the Linux kernel, through 4.14.15, allows local users     to obtain sensitive address information by reading dmesg     data from an SBS HC printk call. (CVE-2018-5750)

  - An error in the _sctp_make_chunk() function     (net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c) when handling SCTP, packet     length can be exploited by a malicious local user to     cause a kernel crash and a DoS. (CVE-2018-5803)

  - In the function wmi_set_ie() in the Linux kernel the     length validation code does not handle unsigned integer     overflow properly. As a result, a large value of the     ie_len argument can cause a buffer overflow and thus a     memory corruption leading to a system crash or other or     unspecified impact. Due to the nature of the flaw,     privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although     we believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2018-5848)

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

  - A possible memory corruption due to a type confusion was     found in the Linux kernel in the sk_clone_lock()     function in the net/core/sock.c. The possibility of     local escalation of privileges cannot be fully ruled out     for a local unprivileged attacker. (CVE-2018-9568)

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

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Integer overflow in the aio_setup_single_vector function     in fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel 4.0 allows local users     to cause a denial of service or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a large AIO iovec. NOTE:

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 :

  - An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern     microprocessor designs have implemented speculative     execution of instructions past bounds check. The flaw     relies on the presence of a precisely-defined     instruction sequence in the privileged code and the     fact that memory writes occur to an address which     depends on the untrusted value. Such writes cause an     update into the microprocessor's data cache even for     speculatively executed instructions that never actually     commit (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker     could use this flaw to influence speculative execution     and/or read privileged memory by conducting targeted     cache side-channel attacks.(CVE-2018-3693)

  - A flaw named SegmentSmack was found in the way the     Linux kernel handled specially crafted TCP packets. A     remote attacker could use this flaw to trigger time and     calculation expensive calls to tcp_collapse_ofo_queue()     and tcp_prune_ofo_queue() functions by sending     specially modified packets within ongoing TCP sessions     which could lead to a CPU saturation and hence a denial     of service on the system. Maintaining the denial of     service condition requires continuous two-way TCP     sessions to a reachable open port, thus the attacks     cannot be performed using spoofed IP     addresses.(CVE-2018-5390)

  - It was found that the raw midi kernel driver does not     protect against concurrent access which leads to a     double realloc (double free) in     snd_rawmidi_input_params() and     snd_rawmidi_output_status() which are part of     snd_rawmidi_ioctl() handler in rawmidi.c file. A     malicious local attacker could possibly use this for     privilege escalation.(CVE-2018-10902)

  - Integer overflow in the aio_setup_single_vector     function in fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel 4.0 allows     local users to cause a denial of service or possibly     have unspecified other impact via a large AIO iovec.
    NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a     CVE-2012-6701 regression.(CVE-2015-8830)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux networking subsystem     where a local attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN capabilities     could cause an out-of-bounds memory access by creating     a smaller-than-expected ICMP header and sending to its     destination via sendto().(CVE-2016-8399)

  - Out-of-bounds kernel heap access vulnerability was     found in xfrm, kernel's IP framework for transforming     packets. An error dealing with netlink messages from an     unprivileged user leads to arbitrary read/write and     privilege escalation.(CVE-2017-7184)

  - The Linux kernel was found to be vulnerable to a NULL     pointer dereference bug in the __netlink_ns_capable()     function in the net/netlink/af_netlink.c file. A local     attacker could exploit this when a net namespace with a     netnsid is assigned to cause a kernel panic and a     denial of service.i1/4^CVE-2018-14646i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found where the kernel truncated the value     used to indicate the size of a buffer which it would     later become zero using an untruncated value. This can     corrupt memory outside of the original     allocation.(CVE-2017-9725)

  - A bug in the 32-bit compatibility layer of the ioctl     handling code of the v4l2 video driver in the Linux     kernel has been found. A memory protection mechanism     ensuring that user-provided buffers always point to a     userspace memory were disabled, allowing destination     address to be in a kernel space. This flaw could be     exploited by an attacker to overwrite a kernel memory     from an unprivileged userspace process, leading to     privilege escalation.(CVE-2017-13166)

  - 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-2017-5754 relies on the     fact that, on impacted microprocessors, during     speculative execution of instruction permission faults,     exception generation triggered by a faulting access is     suppressed until the retirement of the whole     instruction block. In a combination with the fact that     memory accesses may populate the cache even when the     block is being dropped and never committed (executed),     an unprivileged local attacker could use this flaw to     read privileged (kernel space) memory by conducting     targeted cache side-channel attacks. Note:
    CVE-2017-5754 affects Intel x86-64 microprocessors. AMD     x86-64 microprocessors are not affected by this     issue.(CVE-2017-5754)

  - 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-2017-5753 triggers the     speculative execution by performing a bounds-check     bypass. 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 boundary and read privileged memory by     conducting targeted cache side-channel     attacks.(CVE-2017-5753)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's skcipher     component, which affects the skcipher_recvmsg function.
    Attackers using a specific input can lead to a     privilege escalation.i1/4^CVE-2017-13215i1/4%0

  - The tcpmss_mangle_packet function in     net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c in the Linux kernel before     4.11, and 4.9.x before 4.9.36, allows remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and memory     corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact     by leveraging the presence of xt_TCPMSS in an iptables     action. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege     escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we     believe it is unlikely.i1/4^CVE-2017-18017i1/4%0

  - A kernel data leak due to an out-of-bound read was     found in the Linux kernel in     inet_diag_msg_sctp{,l}addr_fill() and     sctp_get_sctp_info() functions present since version     4.7-rc1 through version 4.13. A data leak happens when     these functions fill in sockaddr data structures used     to export socket's diagnostic information. As a result,     up to 100 bytes of the slab data could be leaked to a     userspace.i1/4^CVE-2017-7558i1/4%0

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in the snd_pcm_info()     function in the ALSA subsystem in the Linux kernel     allows attackers to induce a kernel memory corruption     and possibly crash or lock up a system. Due to the     nature of the flaw, a privilege escalation cannot be     fully ruled out, although we believe it is     unlikely.i1/4^CVE-2017-0861i1/4%0

  - Improper validation in the bnx2x network card driver of     the Linux kernel version 4.15 can allow for denial of     service (DoS) attacks via a packet with a gso_size     larger than ~9700 bytes. Untrusted guest VMs can     exploit this vulnerability in the host machine, causing     a crash in the network card.i1/4^CVE-2018-1000026i1/4%0

  - An error in the '_sctp_make_chunk()' function     (net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c) when handling SCTP, packet     length can be exploited by a malicious local user to     cause a kernel crash and a DoS.i1/4^CVE-2018-5803i1/4%0

  - A buffer overflow was found in the Linux kernel's     isdn_net_newslave() function in the     /drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_net.c file. An overflow happens     when the user-controlled buffer is copied into a local     buffer of constant size using strcpy() without a length     check.(CVE-2017-12762)

  - Modern operating systems implement virtualization of     physical memory to efficiently use available system     resources and provide inter-domain protection through     access control and isolation. The L1TF issue was found     in the way the x86 microprocessor designs have     implemented speculative execution of instructions (a     commonly used performance optimization) in combination     with handling of page-faults caused by terminated     virtual to physical address resolving process. As a     result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to     read privileged memory of the kernel or other processes     and/or cross guest/host boundaries to read host memory     by conducting targeted cache side-channel     attacks.(CVE-2018-3646)

  - In hid_debug_events_read of drivers/hid/hid-debug.c,     there is a possible out of bounds write due to a     missing bounds check. This could lead to local     escalation of privilege with System execution     privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation. Product: Android Versions: Android kernel     Android ID: A-71361580.(CVE-2018-9516)

  - 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)

  - It was found that the Linux kernel memory resource     controller's (memcg) handling of OOM (out of memory)     conditions could lead to deadlocks. An attacker able to     continuously spawn new processes within a single     memory-constrained cgroup during an OOM event could use     this flaw to lock up the system.(CVE-2014-8171)

  - In sk_clone_lock of sock.c, there is a possible memory     corruption due to type confusion. This could lead to     local escalation of privilege with no additional     execution privileges needed. User interaction is not     needed for exploitation. Product: Android. Versions:

The remote Oracle Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2019-4315 advisory.    - In all Qualcomm products with Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, during DMA allocation, due     to wrong data type of size, allocation size gets truncated which makes allocation succeed when it should     fail. (CVE-2017-9725)    - The ext4_iget function in fs/ext4/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 4.15.15 mishandles the case of a     root directory with a zero i_links_count, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service     (ext4_process_freed_data NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) via a crafted ext4 image. (CVE-2018-1092)    - drivers/input/serio/i8042.c in the Linux kernel before 4.12.4 allows attackers to cause a denial of     service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact because the     port->exists value can change after it is validated. (CVE-2017-18079)    - In the Linux kernel before 4.7, the amd_gpio_remove function in drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-amd.c calls the     pinctrl_unregister function, leading to a double free. (CVE-2017-18174)    - The __munlock_pagevec function in mm/mlock.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11.4 allows local users to cause     a denial of service (NR_MLOCK accounting corruption) via crafted use of mlockall and munlockall system     calls.
(CVE-2017-18221)    - 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)    - ** DISPUTED ** Race condition in the store_int_with_restart() function in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c     in the Linux kernel through 4.15.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) by leveraging     root access to write to the check_interval file in a /sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheck directory. NOTE: a third party has indicated that this report is not security relevant.     (CVE-2018-7995)    - In the hidp_process_report in bluetooth, there is an integer overflow. This could lead to an out of bounds     write with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.     Product: Android Versions: Android kernel Android ID: A-65853588 References: Upstream kernel.     (CVE-2018-9363)    - In hid_debug_events_read of drivers/hid/hid-debug.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a     missing bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges     needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Product: Android Versions:
Android kernel Android     ID: A-71361580. (CVE-2018-9516)  Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

* Intel Core X-Series (Skylake) processors use a hard-coded Time Stamp Counter (TSC) frequency of 25 MHz. In some cases this can be imprecise and lead to timing-related problems such as time drift, timers being triggered early, or TSC clock instability. This update mitigates these problems by no longer using the 'native_calibrate_tsc()' function to define the TSC frequency. Refined calibration is now used to update the clock rate accordingly in these cases. (BZ#1547854)

Bug Fix(es) :

These updated kernel packages include also numerous bug fixes. Space precludes documenting all of these bug fixes in this advisory. See the bug fix descriptions in the related Knowledge Article:
https://access.redhat.com/articles/3411331

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2018-1062 advisory.

  - drivers/firewire/net.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.7, in certain unusual hardware configurations,     allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted fragmented packets. (CVE-2016-8633)

  - The arch_pick_mmap_layout function in arch/x86/mm/mmap.c in the Linux kernel through 4.5.2 does not     properly randomize the legacy base address, which makes it easier for local users to defeat the intended     restrictions on the ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE flag, and bypass the ASLR protection mechanism for a setuid or     setgid program, by disabling stack-consumption resource limits. (CVE-2016-3672)

  - The prepare_vmcs02 function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel through 4.13.3 does not ensure that     the CR8-load exiting and CR8-store exiting L0 vmcs02 controls exist in cases where L1 omits the use     TPR shadow vmcs12 control, which allows KVM L2 guest OS users to obtain read and write access to the     hardware CR8 register. (CVE-2017-12154)

  - The bio_map_user_iov and bio_unmap_user functions in block/bio.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.8 do     unbalanced refcounting when a SCSI I/O vector has small consecutive buffers belonging to the same page.
    The bio_add_pc_page function merges them into one, but the page reference is never dropped. This causes a     memory leak and possible system lockup (exploitable against the host OS by a guest OS user, if a SCSI disk     is passed through to a virtual machine) due to an out-of-memory condition. (CVE-2017-12190)

  - The Linux Kernel 2.6.32 and later are affected by a denial of service, by flooding the diagnostic port     0x80 an exception can be triggered leading to a kernel panic. (CVE-2017-1000407)

  - The dccp_disconnect function in net/dccp/proto.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.3 allows local users to     gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via an AF_UNSPEC connect system call during     the DCCP_LISTEN state. (CVE-2017-8824)

  - The move_pages system call in mm/migrate.c in the Linux kernel before 4.12.9 doesn't check the effective     uid of the target process, enabling a local attacker to learn the memory layout of a setuid executable     despite ASLR. (CVE-2017-14140)

  - The vmw_surface_define_ioctl function in drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.10.6 does not validate addition of certain levels data, which allows 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. (CVE-2017-7294)

  - In all Qualcomm products with Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, during DMA allocation, due     to wrong data type of size, allocation size gets truncated which makes allocation succeed when it should     fail. (CVE-2017-9725)

  - A flaw was found in the hugetlb_mcopy_atomic_pte function in mm/hugetlb.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.
    A superfluous implicit page unlock for VM_SHARED hugetlbfs mapping could trigger a local denial of service     (BUG). (CVE-2017-15127)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in network namespaces code affecting the Linux kernel before     4.14.11. The function get_net_ns_by_id() in net/core/net_namespace.c does not check for the net::count     value after it has found a peer network in netns_ids idr, which could lead to double free and memory     corruption. This vulnerability could allow an unprivileged local user 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 it is thought to be unlikely. (CVE-2017-15129)

  - Race condition in the ALSA subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.13.8 allows local users to cause a     denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted /dev/snd/seq     ioctl calls, related to sound/core/seq/seq_clientmgr.c and sound/core/seq/seq_ports.c. (CVE-2017-15265)

  - The __netlink_deliver_tap_skb function in net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.4,     when CONFIG_NLMON is enabled, does not restrict observations of Netlink messages to a single net     namespace, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN     capability to sniff an nlmon interface for all Netlink activity on the system. (CVE-2017-17449)

  - The usb_destroy_configuration function in drivers/usb/core/config.c in the USB core subsystem in the Linux     kernel through 4.14.5 does not consider the maximum number of configurations and interfaces before     attempting to release resources, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds     write access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device. (CVE-2017-17558)

  - The Linux kernel version 3.3-rc1 and later is affected by a vulnerability lies in the processing of     incoming L2CAP commands - ConfigRequest, and ConfigResponse messages. This info leak is a result of     uninitialized stack variables that may be returned to an attacker in their uninitialized state. By     manipulating the code flows that precede the handling of these configuration messages, an attacker can     also gain some control over which data will be held in the uninitialized stack variables. This can allow     him to bypass KASLR, and stack canaries protection - as both pointers and stack canaries may be leaked in     this manner. Combining this vulnerability (for example) with the previously disclosed RCE vulnerability in     L2CAP configuration parsing (CVE-2017-1000251) may allow an attacker to exploit the RCE against kernels     which were built with the above mitigations. These are the specifics of this vulnerability: In the     function l2cap_parse_conf_rsp and in the function l2cap_parse_conf_req the following variable is declared     without initialization: struct l2cap_conf_efs efs; In addition, when parsing input configuration     parameters in both of these functions, the switch case for handling EFS elements may skip the memcpy call     that will write to the efs variable: ... case L2CAP_CONF_EFS: if (olen == sizeof(efs)) memcpy(&efs;, (void
    *)val, olen); ... The olen in the above if is attacker controlled, and regardless of that if, in both of     these functions the efs variable would eventually be added to the outgoing configuration request that is     being built: l2cap_add_conf_opt(&ptr;, L2CAP_CONF_EFS, sizeof(efs), (unsigned long) &efs;); So by sending a     configuration request, or response, that contains an L2CAP_CONF_EFS element, but with an element length     that is not sizeof(efs) - the memcpy to the uninitialized efs variable can be avoided, and the     uninitialized variable would be returned to the attacker (16 bytes). (CVE-2017-1000410)

  - The acpi_smbus_hc_add function in drivers/acpi/sbshc.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.15 allows local     users to obtain sensitive address information by reading dmesg data from an SBS HC printk call.
    (CVE-2018-5750)

  - The xc2028_set_config function in drivers/media/tuners/tuner-xc2028.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6     allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via vectors involving     omission of the firmware name from a certain data structure. (CVE-2016-7913)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the kernel v4l2 video driver. Product: Android. Versions:
    Android kernel. Android ID A-34624167. (CVE-2017-13166)

  - The rngapi_reset function in crypto/rng.c in the Linux kernel before 4.2 allows attackers to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference). (CVE-2017-15116)

  - A non-privileged user is able to mount a fuse filesystem on RHEL 6 or 7 and crash a system if an     application punches a hole in a file that does not end aligned to a page boundary. (CVE-2017-15121)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in fs/userfaultfd.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.6. The issue is     related to the handling of fork failure when dealing with event messages. Failure to fork correctly can     lead to a situation where a fork event will be removed from an already freed list of events with     userfaultfd_ctx_put(). (CVE-2017-15126)

  - net/netfilter/nfnetlink_cthelper.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.4 does not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN     capability for new, get, and del operations, which allows local users to bypass intended access     restrictions because the nfnl_cthelper_list data structure is shared across all net namespaces.
    (CVE-2017-17448)

  - The tcpmss_mangle_packet function in net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11, and 4.9.x     before 4.9.36, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and memory corruption)     or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the presence of xt_TCPMSS in an iptables action.
    (CVE-2017-18017)

  - The dm_get_from_kobject function in drivers/md/dm.c in the Linux kernel before 4.14.3 allow local users to     cause a denial of service (BUG) by leveraging a race condition with __dm_destroy during creation and     removal of DM devices. (CVE-2017-18203)

  - The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.13.3 allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service     (assertion failure, and hypervisor hang or crash) via an out-of bounds guest_irq value, related to     arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c and virt/kvm/eventfd.c. (CVE-2017-1000252)

  - The futex_requeue function in kernel/futex.c in the Linux kernel before 4.14.15 might allow attackers to     cause a denial of service (integer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a     negative wake or requeue value. (CVE-2018-6927)

  - In the Linux kernel 4.12, 3.10, 2.6 and possibly earlier versions a race condition vulnerability exists in     the sound system, this can lead to a deadlock and denial of service condition. (CVE-2018-1000004)
