Linux kernel is vulnerable to a stack-out-of-bounds write in the ext4 filesystem code when mounting and writing to a crafted ext4 image in ext4_update_inline_data(). An attacker could use this to cause a system crash and a denial of service.

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

  - The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz),     the core of any Linux operating system. The kernel     handles the basic functions of the operating system:
    memory allocation, process allocation, device input and     output, etc.Security Fix(es):A flaw was found in Linux     kernel in the ext4 filesystem code. A use-after-free is     possible in ext4_ext_remove_space() function when     mounting and operating a crafted ext4     image.(CVE-2018-10876)A flaw was found in the Linux     kernel. A use-after-free was found in the way the     console subsystem was using ioctls KDGKBSENT and     KDSKBSENT. A local user could use this flaw to get read     memory access out of bounds. The highest threat from     this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality.(CVE-2020-25656)A flaw was found in the     way RTAS handled memory accesses in userspace to kernel     communication. On a locked down (usually due to Secure     Boot) guest system running on top of PowerVM or KVM     hypervisors (pseries platform) a root like local user     could use this flaw to further increase their     privileges to that of a running     kernel.(CVE-2020-27777)A information disclosure     vulnerability in the Upstream kernel encrypted-keys.
    Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID:
    A-70526974.(CVE-2017-13305)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)An issue     was discovered in dlpar_parse_cc_property in     arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dlpar.c in the Linux     kernel through 5.1.6. There is an unchecked kstrdup of     prop->name, which might allow an attacker to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system     crash).(CVE-2019-12614)An issue was discovered in     fs/xfs/xfs_icache.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3.
    There is a NULL pointer dereference and panic in     lookup_slow() on a NULL inode->i_ops pointer when doing     pathwalks on a corrupted xfs image. This occurs because     of a lack of proper validation that cached inodes are     free during allocation.(CVE-2018-13093)An issue was     discovered in rds_tcp_kill_sock in net/rds/tcp.c in the     Linux kernel before 5.0.8. There is a race condition     leading to a use-after-free, related to net namespace     cleanup.(CVE-2019-11815)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. Certain     iSCSI data structures do not have appropriate length     constraints or checks, and can exceed the PAGE_SIZE     value. An unprivileged user can send a Netlink message     that is associated with iSCSI, and has a length up to     the maximum length of a Netlink     message.(CVE-2021-27365)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)An issue was     discovered in yurex_read in drivers/usb/misc/yurex.c in     the Linux kernel before 4.17.7. Local attackers could     use user access read/writes with incorrect bounds     checking in the yurex USB driver to crash the kernel or     potentially escalate     privileges.(CVE-2018-16276)drivers/infiniband/core/ucma     .c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.11 allows     ucma_leave_multicast to access a certain data structure     after a cleanup step in ucma_process_join, which allows     attackers to cause a denial of service     (use-after-free).(CVE-2018-14734)In create_pinctrl of     core.c, there is a possible out of bounds read due to a     use after free. This could lead to local information     disclosure with no additional execution privileges     needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android     kernelAndroid ID: A-140550171(CVE-2020-0427)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.Product:

This could lead to the size-remaining variable     wrapping and the data pointer going over the end of the     buffer. This could possibly lead to memory corruption     and possible privilege escalation.(CVE-2017-7482)In     uvc_scan_chain_forward of uvc_driver.c, there is a     possible linked list corruption due to an unusual root     cause. This could lead to local escalation of privilege     in the kernel with no additional execution privileges     needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android     kernelAndroid ID: A-111893654References: Upstream     kernel(CVE-2020-0404)In various methods of     hid-multitouch.c, there is a possible out of bounds     write due to a missing bounds check.

    Upstream kernel(CVE-2020-0465)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)Linux kernel ext4     filesystem is vulnerable to an out-of-bound access in     the ext4_ext_drop_refs() function when operating on a     crafted ext4 filesystem image.(CVE-2018-10877)Linux     kernel is vulnerable to a stack-out-of-bounds write in     the ext4 filesystem code when mounting and writing to a     crafted ext4 image in ext4_update_inline_data(). An     attacker could use this to cause a system crash and a     denial of service.(CVE-2018-10880)Linux Kernel contains     an out-of-bounds read flaw in the asn1_ber_decoder()     function in lib/asn1_decoder.c that is triggered when     decoding ASN.1 data. This may allow a remote attacker     to disclose potentially sensitive memory     contents.(CVE-2018-9383)use-after-free read in     sunkbd_reinit in     drivers/input/keyboard/sunkbd.c(CVE-2020-25669)mwifiex_     cmd_802_11_ad_hoc_start in drivers/     net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/join.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.10.4 might allow remote attackers to execute     arbitrary code via a long SSID value, aka     CID-5c455c5ab332.(CVE-2020-36158)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)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 a     Use-after-Free.(CVE-2019-7221)A flaw was found in the     JFS filesystem code. This flaw allows a local attacker     with the ability to set extended attributes to panic     the system, causing memory corruption or escalating     privileges. The highest threat from this vulnerability     is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system     availability.(CVE-2020-27815)An out-of-bounds (OOB)     memory access flaw was found in x25_bind in     net/x25/af_x25.c in the Linux kernel. A bounds check     failure allows a local attacker with a user account on     the system to gain access to out-of-bounds memory,     leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel     information. The highest threat from this vulnerability     is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system     availability.(CVE-2020-35519)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 NULL pointer     dereference was found in the net/rds/rdma.c
    __rds_rdma_map() function in the Linux kernel before     4.14.7 allowing local attackers to cause a system panic     and a denial-of-service, related to RDS_GET_MR and     RDS_GET_MR_FOR_DEST.(CVE-2018-7492)The Siemens R3964     line discipline driver in drivers/tty/ n_r3964.c in the     Linux kernel before 5.0.8 has multiple race     conditions.(CVE-2019-11486)The kernel in Android before     2016-08-05 on Nexus 7 (2013) devices allows attackers     to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka     internal bug 28522518.(CVE-2016-3857)The KVM     implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.14.7     allows attackers to obtain potentially sensitive     information from kernel memory, aka a write_mmio     stack-based out-of-bounds read, related to     arch/x86/kvm/x86.c and     include/trace/events/kvm.h.(CVE-2017-17741)The     sctp_process_param function in net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c     in the SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel before     3.17.4, when ASCONF is used, allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and     system crash) via a malformed INIT     chunk.(CVE-2014-7841)The XFS subsystem in the Linux     kernel through 4.8.2 allows local users to cause a     denial of service (fdatasync failure and system hang)     by using the vfs syscall group in the trinity program,     related to a 'page lock order bug in the XFS seek     hole/data implementation.'(CVE-2016-8660)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-2018-10322)

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 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-2018-5750i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the btrfs filesystem code in     the Linux kernel. A use-after-free is possible in     try_merge_free_space() when mounting a crafted btrfs     image due to a lack of chunk type flag checks in     btrfs_check_chunk_valid() in the fs/btrfs/volumes.c     function. This could lead to a denial of service or     other unspecified impact.(CVE-2018-14611i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel visor     driver handles certain invalid USB device descriptors.
    The driver assumes that the device always has at least     one bulk OUT endpoint. By using a specially crafted USB     device (without a bulk OUT endpoint), an unprivileged     user with physical access could trigger a kernel     NULL-pointer dereference and cause a system panic     (denial of service).(CVE-2015-7566i1/4%0

  - It was found that the RFC 5961 challenge ACK rate     limiting as implemented in the Linux kernel's     networking subsystem allowed an off-path attacker to     leak certain information about a given connection by     creating congestion on the global challenge ACK rate     limit counter and then measuring the changes by probing     packets. An off-path attacker could use this flaw to     either terminate TCP connection and/or inject payload     into non-secured TCP connection between two endpoints     on the network.(CVE-2016-5696i1/4%0

  - It was found that the Bluebooth Network Encapsulation     Protocol (BNEP) implementation did not validate the     type of second socket passed to the BNEPCONNADD     ioctl(), which could lead to memory corruption. A local     user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability can use this for     denial of service (crash or data corruption) or     possibly for privilege escalation. Due to the nature of     the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled     out, although we feel it is unlikely.(CVE-2017-15868i1/4%0

  - A vulnerability was found in the key management     subsystem of the Linux kernel. An update on an     uninstantiated key could cause a kernel panic, leading     to denial of service (DoS).(CVE-2017-15299i1/4%0

  - The rfcomm_sock_bind function in     net/bluetooth/rfcomm/sock.c in the Linux kernel before     4.2 allows local users to obtain sensitive information     or cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference)     via vectors involving a bind system call on a Bluetooth     RFCOMM socket.(CVE-2015-8956i1/4%0

  - arch/mips/include/asm/thread_info.h in the Linux kernel     before 3.14.8 on the MIPS platform does not configure
    _TIF_SECCOMP checks on the fast system-call path, which     allows local users to bypass intended PR_SET_SECCOMP     restrictions by executing a crafted application without     invoking a trace or audit subsystem.(CVE-2014-4157i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem     code. A stack-out-of-bounds write in     ext4_update_inline_data() is possible when mounting and     writing to a crafted ext4 image. An attacker could use     this to cause a system crash and a denial of     service.(CVE-2018-10880i1/4%0

  - The aac_send_raw_srb function in     drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c in the Linux kernel     through 3.12.1 does not properly validate a certain     size value, which allows local users to cause a denial     of service (invalid pointer dereference) or possibly     have unspecified other impact via an     FSACTL_SEND_RAW_SRB ioctl call that triggers a crafted     SRB command.(CVE-2013-6380i1/4%0

  - Linux kernel built with the KVM visualization support     (CONFIG_KVM), with nested visualization(nVMX) feature     enabled(nested=1), is vulnerable to an uncaught     exception issue. It could occur if an L2 guest was to     throw an exception which is not handled by an L1     guest.(CVE-2016-9588i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the alarm_timer_nsleep() function     in kernel/time/alarmtimer.c in the Linux kernel. The     ktime_add_safe() function is not used and an integer     overflow can happen causing an alarm not to fire if     using a large relative timeout.(CVE-2018-13053i1/4%0

  - net/llc/sysctl_net_llc.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-2015-2041i1/4%0

  - Incorrect error handling in the set_mempolicy() and     mbind() compat syscalls in 'mm/mempolicy.c' in the     Linux kernel allows local users to obtain sensitive     information from uninitialized stack data by triggering     failure of a certain bitmap operation.(CVE-2017-7616i1/4%0

  - The snd_msnd_interrupt function in     sound/isa/msnd/msnd_pinnacle.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.11.7 allows local users to cause a denial of     service (over-boundary access) or possibly have     unspecified other impact by changing the value of a     message queue head pointer between two kernel reads of     that value, aka a 'double fetch'     vulnerability.(CVE-2017-9984i1/4%0

  - An integer overflow was discovered in the     qla2x00_sysfs_write_optrom_ctl function in     drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.12.10. This flaw allows local users to cause     a denial of service (memory corruption and system     crash) by leveraging root access.(CVE-2017-14051i1/4%0

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA)     implementation handled user controls. A local,     privileged user could use this flaw to crash the     system.(CVE-2014-4654i1/4%0

  - An information leak flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's Virtual Dynamic Shared Object (vDSO)     implementation performed address randomization. A     local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to leak     kernel memory addresses to user-space.(CVE-2014-9585i1/4%0

  - The usbhid_parse function in     drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c in the Linux kernel,     before 4.13.8, allows local users to cause a denial of     service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted     USB device.(CVE-2017-16533i1/4%0

  - A divide-by-zero vulnerability was found in the
    __tcp_select_window function in the Linux kernel. This     can result in a kernel panic causing a local denial of     service.(CVE-2017-14106i1/4%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 kernel packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem.
    A local user can cause an out-of-bounds write and a     denial of service or unspecified other impact is     possible by mounting and operating a crafted ext4     filesystem image.(CVE-2018-10878)

  - 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-2019-3701)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem.
    A local user can cause an out-of-bound access in     ext4_get_group_info function, a denial of service, and     a system crash by mounting and operating on a crafted     ext4 filesystem image.(CVE-2018-10881)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem     code. A stack-out-of-bounds write in     ext4_update_inline_data() is possible when mounting and     writing to a crafted ext4 image. An attacker could use     this to cause a system crash and a denial of     service.(CVE-2018-10880)

  - The crypto API in the Linux kernel through 3.9-rc8 does     not initialize certain length variables, which allows     local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel     stack memory via a crafted recvmsg or recvfrom system     call, related to the hash_recvmsg function in     crypto/algif_hash.c and the skcipher_recvmsg function     in crypto/algif_skcipher.c.(CVE-2013-3076)

  - weakness was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of random seed data. Programs, early in the boot     sequence, could use the data allocated for the seed     before it was sufficiently generated.(CVE-2018-1108)

  - 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 security flaw was found in the     chap_server_compute_md5() function in the ISCSI target     code in the Linux kernel in a way an authentication     request from an ISCSI initiator is processed. An     unauthenticated remote attacker can cause a stack     buffer overflow and smash up to 17 bytes of the stack.
    The attack requires the iSCSI target to be enabled on     the victim host. Depending on how the target's code was     built (i.e. depending on a compiler, compile flags and     hardware architecture) an attack may lead to a system     crash and thus to a denial of service or possibly to a     non-authorized access to data exported by an iSCSI     target. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege     escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we     believe it is highly unlikely.(CVE-2018-14633)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     4.18.6. An information leak in cdrom_ioctl_drive_status     in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c could be used by local     attackers to read kernel memory because a cast from     unsigned long to int interferes with bounds     checking.(CVE-2018-16658)

  - 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 security flaw was found in the Linux kernel in     drivers/tty/n_tty.c which allows local attackers (ones     who are able to access pseudo terminals) to lock them     up and block further usage of any pseudo terminal     devices due to an EXTPROC versus ICANON confusion in     TIOCINQ handler.(CVE-2018-18386)

  - 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.(CVE-2018-14646)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem. A local user can cause an out-of-bounds write and     a denial of service or unspecified other impact is possible by mounting and operating a crafted ext4     filesystem image. (CVE-2018-10878)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem. A local user can cause a use-after-free in     ext4_xattr_set_entry function and a denial of service or unspecified other impact may occur by renaming a     file in a crafted ext4 filesystem image. (CVE-2018-10879)

  - Linux kernel is vulnerable to a stack-out-of-bounds write in the ext4 filesystem code when mounting and     writing to a crafted ext4 image in ext4_update_inline_data(). An attacker could use this to cause a system     crash and a denial of service. (CVE-2018-10880)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem. A local user can cause an out-of-bound write in in     fs/jbd2/transaction.c code, a denial of service, and a system crash by unmounting a crafted ext4     filesystem image. (CVE-2018-10882)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem. A local user can cause an out-of-bounds write in     jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(), a denial of service, and a system crash by mounting and operating on a     crafted ext4 filesystem image. (CVE-2018-10883)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel where an attacker may be able to have an uncontrolled read to kernel-     memory from within a vm guest. A race condition between connect() and close() function may allow an     attacker using the AF_VSOCK protocol to gather a 4 byte information leak or possibly intercept or corrupt     AF_VSOCK messages destined to other clients. (CVE-2018-14625)

  - A use-after-free issue was found in the way the Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor processed posted interrupts     when nested(=1) virtualization is enabled. In nested_get_vmcs12_pages(), in case of an error while     processing posted interrupt address, it unmaps the 'pi_desc_page' without resetting 'pi_desc' descriptor     address, which is later used in pi_test_and_clear_on(). A guest user/process could use this flaw to crash     the host kernel resulting in DoS or potentially gain privileged access to a system. Kernel versions before     4.14.91 and before 4.19.13 are vulnerable. (CVE-2018-16882)

  - An issue was discovered in the proc_pid_stack function in fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel through     4.18.11. It does not ensure that only root may inspect the kernel stack of an arbitrary task, allowing a     local attacker to exploit racy stack unwinding and leak kernel task stack contents. (CVE-2018-17972)

  - Since Linux kernel version 3.2, the mremap() syscall performs TLB flushes after dropping pagetable locks.
    If a syscall such as ftruncate() removes entries from the pagetables of a task that is in the middle of     mremap(), a stale TLB entry can remain for a short time that permits access to a physical page after it     has been released back to the page allocator and reused. This is fixed in the following kernel versions:
    4.9.135, 4.14.78, 4.18.16, 4.19. (CVE-2018-18281)

  - The vcpu_scan_ioapic function in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the Linux kernel through 4.19.2 allows local users     to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and BUG) via crafted system calls that reach a     situation where ioapic is uninitialized. (CVE-2018-19407)

  - 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.

  - Linux kernel is vulnerable to a stack-out-of-bounds write in the ext4 filesystem code when mounting and     writing to a crafted ext4 image in ext4_update_inline_data(). An attacker could use this to cause a system     crash and a denial of service. (CVE-2018-10880)

  - The alarm_timer_nsleep function in kernel/time/alarmtimer.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3 has an     integer overflow via a large relative timeout because ktime_add_safe is not used. (CVE-2018-13053)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/f2fs/super.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14. A denial of service (out-of-     bounds memory access and BUG) can occur upon encountering an abnormal bitmap size when mounting a crafted     f2fs image. (CVE-2018-13096)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10. There is an invalid pointer dereference in
    __del_reloc_root() in fs/btrfs/relocation.c when mounting a crafted btrfs image, related to removing reloc     rb_trees when reloc control has not been initialized. (CVE-2018-14609)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10. There is a NULL pointer dereference and panic     in hfsplus_lookup() in fs/hfsplus/dir.c when opening a file (that is purportedly a hard link) in an hfs+     filesystem that has malformed catalog data, and is mounted read-only without a metadata directory.
    (CVE-2018-14617)

  - An issue was discovered in the proc_pid_stack function in fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel through     4.18.11. It does not ensure that only root may inspect the kernel stack of an arbitrary task, allowing a     local attacker to exploit racy stack unwinding and leak kernel task stack contents. (CVE-2018-17972)

  - arch/arm64/kvm/guest.c in KVM in the Linux kernel before 4.18.12 on the arm64 platform mishandles the     KVM_SET_ON_REG ioctl. This is exploitable by attackers who can create virtual machines. An attacker can     arbitrarily redirect the hypervisor flow of control (with full register control). An attacker can also     cause a denial of service (hypervisor panic) via an illegal exception return. This occurs because of     insufficient restrictions on userspace access to the core register file, and because PSTATE.M validation     does not prevent unintended execution modes. (CVE-2018-18021)

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

CVE-2018-10853: A flaw was found in the way the KVM hypervisor emulated instructions such as sgdt/sidt/fxsave/fxrstor. It did not check current privilege(CPL) level while emulating unprivileged instructions. An unprivileged guest user/process could use this flaw to potentially escalate privileges inside guest (bnc#1097104).

CVE-2018-10876: A flaw was found in Linux kernel in the ext4 filesystem code. A use-after-free is possible in ext4_ext_remove_space() function when mounting and operating a crafted ext4 image. (bnc#1099811)

CVE-2018-10877: Linux kernel ext4 filesystem is vulnerable to an out-of-bound access in the ext4_ext_drop_refs() function when operating on a crafted ext4 filesystem image. (bnc#1099846)

CVE-2018-10878: A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem. A local user can cause an out-of-bounds write and a denial of service or unspecified other impact is possible by mounting and operating a crafted ext4 filesystem image. (bnc#1099813)

CVE-2018-10879: A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem. A local user can cause a use-after-free in ext4_xattr_set_entry function and a denial of service or unspecified other impact may occur by renaming a file in a crafted ext4 filesystem image. (bnc#1099844)

CVE-2018-10880: Linux kernel is vulnerable to a stack-out-of-bounds write in the ext4 filesystem code when mounting and writing to a crafted ext4 image in ext4_update_inline_data(). An attacker could use this to cause a system crash and a denial of service. (bnc#1099845)

CVE-2018-10881: A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem. A local user can cause an out-of-bound access in ext4_get_group_info function, a denial of service, and a system crash by mounting and operating on a crafted ext4 filesystem image.
(bnc#1099864)

CVE-2018-10882: A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem. A local user can cause an out-of-bound write in in fs/jbd2/transaction.c code, a denial of service, and a system crash by unmounting a crafted ext4 filesystem image. (bnc#1099849)

CVE-2018-10883: A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem. A local user can cause an out-of-bounds write in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(), a denial of service, and a system crash by mounting and operating on a crafted ext4 filesystem image.
(bnc#1099863)

CVE-2018-10902: It was found that the raw midi kernel driver did 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 (bnc#1105322).

CVE-2018-10938: A crafted network packet sent remotely by an attacker may force the kernel to enter an infinite loop in the cipso_v4_optptr() function in net/ipv4/cipso_ipv4.c leading to a denial-of-service. A certain non-default configuration of LSM (Linux Security Module) and NetLabel should be set up on a system before an attacker could leverage this flaw (bnc#1106016).

CVE-2018-10940: The cdrom_ioctl_media_changed function in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c allowed local attackers to use a incorrect bounds check in the CDROM driver CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl to read out kernel memory (bnc#1092903).

CVE-2018-12896: An Integer Overflow in kernel/time/posix-timers.c in the POSIX timer code is caused by the way the overrun accounting works. Depending on interval and expiry time values, the overrun can be larger than INT_MAX, but the accounting is int based. This basically made the accounting values, which are visible to user space via timer_getoverrun(2) and siginfo::si_overrun, random. For example, a local user can cause a denial of service (signed integer overflow) via crafted mmap, futex, timer_create, and timer_settime system calls (bnc#1099922).

CVE-2018-13093: There is a NULL pointer dereference and panic in lookup_slow() on a NULL inode->i_ops pointer when doing pathwalks on a corrupted xfs image. This occurs because of a lack of proper validation that cached inodes are free during allocation (bnc#1100001).

CVE-2018-13094: An OOPS may occur for a corrupted xfs image after xfs_da_shrink_inode() is called with a NULL bp (bnc#1100000).

CVE-2018-13095: A denial of service (memory corruption and BUG) can occur for a corrupted xfs image upon encountering an inode that is in extent format, but has more extents than fit in the inode fork (bnc#1099999).

CVE-2018-14617: There is a NULL pointer dereference and panic in hfsplus_lookup() in fs/hfsplus/dir.c when opening a file (that is purportedly a hard link) in an hfs+ filesystem that has malformed catalog data, and is mounted read-only without a metadata directory (bnc#1102870).

CVE-2018-14678: The xen_failsafe_callback entry point in arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S did not properly maintain RBX, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (uninitialized memory usage and system crash). Within Xen, 64-bit x86 PV Linux guest OS users can trigger a guest OS crash or possibly gain privileges (bnc#1102715).

CVE-2018-15572: The spectre_v2_select_mitigation function in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c did not always fill RSB upon a context switch, which made it easier for attackers to conduct userspace-userspace spectreRSB attacks (bnc#1102517 bnc#1105296).

CVE-2018-15594: arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c mishandled certain indirect calls, which made it easier for attackers to conduct Spectre-v2 attacks against paravirtual guests (bnc#1105348).

CVE-2018-16276: Local attackers could use user access read/writes with incorrect bounds checking in the yurex USB driver to crash the kernel or potentially escalate privileges (bnc#1106095).

CVE-2018-16658: An information leak in cdrom_ioctl_drive_status in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c could be used by local attackers to read kernel memory because a cast from unsigned long to int interferes with bounds checking. This is similar to CVE-2018-10940 (bnc#1107689).

CVE-2018-17182: The vmacache_flush_all function in mm/vmacache.c mishandled sequence number overflows. An attacker can trigger a use-after-free (and possibly gain privileges) via certain thread creation, map, unmap, invalidation, and dereference operations (bnc#1108399).

CVE-2018-6554: Memory leak in the irda_bind function in net/irda/af_irda.c and later in drivers/staging/irda/net/af_irda.c allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by repeatedly binding an AF_IRDA socket (bnc#1106509).

CVE-2018-6555: The irda_setsockopt function in net/irda/af_irda.c and later in drivers/staging/irda/net/af_irda.c allowed local users to cause a denial of service (ias_object use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an AF_IRDA socket (bnc#1106511).

CVE-2018-7757: Memory leak in the sas_smp_get_phy_events function in drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via many read accesses to files in the /sys/class/sas_phy directory, as demonstrated by the /sys/class/sas_phy/phy-1:0:12/invalid_dword_count file (bnc#1084536).

CVE-2018-9363: A buffer overflow in bluetooth HID report processing could be used by malicious bluetooth devices to crash the kernel or potentially execute code (bnc#1105292). The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2018-7480: The blkcg_init_queue function in block/blk-cgroup.c allowed local users to cause a denial of service (double free) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a creation failure (bnc#1082863).

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP3 kernel was updated to 4.4.155 to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2018-13093: Prevent NULL pointer dereference and panic in lookup_slow() on a NULL inode->i_ops pointer when doing pathwalks on a corrupted xfs image. This occured because of a lack of proper validation that cached inodes are free during allocation (bnc#1100001).

CVE-2018-13095: Prevent denial of service (memory corruption and BUG) that could have occurred for a corrupted xfs image upon encountering an inode that is in extent format, but has more extents than fit in the inode fork (bnc#1099999).

CVE-2018-13094: Prevent OOPS that may have occured for a corrupted xfs image after xfs_da_shrink_inode() is called with a NULL bp (bnc#1100000).

CVE-2018-12896: Prevent integer overflow in the POSIX timer code that was caused by the way the overrun accounting works. Depending on interval and expiry time values, the overrun can be larger than INT_MAX, but the accounting is int based. This basically made the accounting values, which are visible to user space via timer_getoverrun(2) and siginfo::si_overrun, random. This allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (signed integer overflow) via crafted mmap, futex, timer_create, and timer_settime system calls (bnc#1099922).

CVE-2018-16658: Prevent information leak in cdrom_ioctl_drive_status that could have been used by local attackers to read kernel memory (bnc#1107689).

CVE-2018-6555: The irda_setsockopt function allowed local users to cause a denial of service (ias_object use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an AF_IRDA socket (bnc#1106511).

CVE-2018-6554: Prevent memory leak in the irda_bind function that allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by repeatedly binding an AF_IRDA socket (bnc#1106509).

CVE-2018-1129: A flaw was found in the way signature calculation was handled by cephx authentication protocol. An attacker having access to ceph cluster network who is able to alter the message payload was able to bypass signature checks done by cephx protocol (bnc#1096748).

CVE-2018-1128: It was found that cephx authentication protocol did not verify ceph clients correctly and was vulnerable to replay attack. Any attacker having access to ceph cluster network who is able to sniff packets on network can use this vulnerability to authenticate with ceph service and perform actions allowed by ceph service (bnc#1096748).

CVE-2018-10938: A crafted network packet sent remotely by an attacker forced the kernel to enter an infinite loop in the cipso_v4_optptr() function leading to a denial-of-service (bnc#1106016).

CVE-2018-15572: The spectre_v2_select_mitigation function did not always fill RSB upon a context switch, which made it easier for attackers to conduct userspace-userspace spectreRSB attacks (bnc#1102517).

CVE-2018-10902: Protect against concurrent access to prevent double realloc (double free) in snd_rawmidi_input_params() and snd_rawmidi_output_status(). A malicious local attacker could have used this for privilege escalation (bnc#1105322 1105323).

CVE-2018-10877: Prevent out-of-bound access in the ext4_ext_drop_refs() function when operating on a crafted ext4 filesystem image (bsc#1099846).

CVE-2018-10881: A local user could have caused an out-of-bound access in ext4_get_group_info function, a denial of service, and a system crash by mounting and operating on a crafted ext4 filesystem image (bsc#1099864).

CVE-2018-10882: A local user could have caused an out-of-bound write, a denial of service, and a system crash by unmounting a crafted ext4 filesystem image (bsc#1099849).

    (bnc#1099845)

  - CVE-2018-10881: A flaw was found in the ext4 filesystem.
    A local user can cause an out-of-bound access in     ext4_get_group_info function, a denial of service, and a     system crash by mounting and operating on a crafted ext4     filesystem image. (bnc#1099864)

  - CVE-2018-10882: A flaw was found in the ext4 filesystem.

  - CVE-2018-3620: Systems with microprocessors utilizing     speculative execution and address translations may allow     unauthorized disclosure of information residing in the     L1 data cache to an attacker with local user access via     a terminal page fault and a side-channel analysis     (bnc#1087081 1089343 ).

  - CVE-2018-3646: Systems with microprocessors utilizing     speculative execution and address translations may allow     unauthorized disclosure of information residing in the     L1 data cache to an attacker with local user access with     guest OS privilege via a terminal page fault and a     side-channel analysis (bnc#1089343 1104365).

  - CVE-2018-5390 aka 'SegmentSmack': The Linux kernel could     be forced to make very expensive calls to     tcp_collapse_ofo_queue() and tcp_prune_ofo_queue() for     every incoming packet which can lead to a denial of     service (bnc#1102340).

Linux 4.9 has been packaged for Debian 8 as linux-4.9. This provides a supported upgrade path for systems that currently use kernel packages from the 'jessie-backports' suite.

There is no need to upgrade systems using Linux 3.16, as that kernel version will also continue to be supported in the LTS period.

This backport does not include the following binary packages :

hyperv-daemons libcpupower1 libcpupower-dev libusbip-dev linux-compiler-gcc-4.9-x86 linux-cpupower linux-libc-dev usbip

Older versions of most of those are built from other source packages in Debian 8.

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

CVE-2017-5753

Further instances of code that was vulnerable to Spectre variant 1 (bounds-check bypass) have been mitigated.

CVE-2017-18255

It was discovered that the performance events subsystem did not properly validate the value of the kernel.perf_cpu_time_max_percent sysctl. Setting a large value could have an unspecified security impact. However, only a privileged user can set this sysctl.

CVE-2018-1118

The syzbot software found that the vhost driver did not initialise message buffers which would later be read by user processes. A user with access to the /dev/vhost-net device could use this to read sensitive information from the kernel or other users' processes.

CVE-2018-1120

Qualys reported that a user able to mount FUSE filesystems can create a process such that when another process attempting to read its command line will be blocked for an arbitrarily long time. This could be used for denial of service, or to aid in exploiting a race condition in the other program.

CVE-2018-1130

The syzbot software found that the DCCP implementation of sendmsg() does not check the socket state, potentially leading to a NULL pointer dereference. A local user could use this to cause a denial of service (crash). 

CVE-2018-3639

Multiple researchers have discovered that Speculative Store Bypass (SSB), a feature implemented in many processors, could be used to read sensitive information from another context. In particular, code in a software sandbox may be able to read sensitive information from outside the sandbox. This issue is also known as Spectre variant 4.

This update allows the issue to be mitigated on some x86 processors by disabling SSB. This requires an update to the processor's microcode, which is non-free. It may be included in an update to the system BIOS or UEFI firmware, or in a future update to the intel-microcode or amd64-microcode packages.

Disabling SSB can reduce performance significantly, so by default it is only done in tasks that use the seccomp feature. Applications that require this mitigation should request it explicitly through the prctl() system call. Users can control where the mitigation is enabled with the spec_store_bypass_disable kernel parameter.

CVE-2018-5814

Jakub Jirasek reported race conditions in the USB/IP host driver. A malicious client could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption), and possibly to execute code, on a USB/IP server.

CVE-2018-10021

A physically present attacker who unplugs a SAS cable can cause a denial of service (memory leak and WARN).

CVE-2018-10087, CVE-2018-10124

zhongjiang found that the wait4() and kill() system call implementations did not check for the invalid pid value of INT_MIN. If a user passed this value, the behaviour of the code was formally undefined and might have had a security impact.

CVE-2018-10853

Andy Lutomirski and Mika Penttil&auml; reported that KVM for x86 processors did not perform a necessary privilege check when emulating certain instructions. This could be used by an unprivileged user in a guest VM to escalate their privileges within the guest.

CVE-2018-10876, CVE-2018-10877, CVE-2018-10878, CVE-2018-10879, CVE-2018-10880, CVE-2018-10881, CVE-2018-10882, CVE-2018-10883

Wen Xu at SSLab, Gatech, reported that crafted ext4 filesystem images could trigger a crash or memory corruption. A local user able to mount arbitrary filesystems, or an attacker providing filesystems to be mounted, could use this for denial of service or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-10940

Dan Carpenter reported that the optical disc driver (cdrom) does not correctly validate the parameter to the CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl. A user with access to a cdrom device could use this to cause a denial of service (crash).

CVE-2018-11506

Piotr Gabriel Kosinski and Daniel Shapira reported that the SCSI optical disc driver (sr) did not allocate a sufficiently large buffer for sense data. A user with access to a SCSI optical disc device that can produce more than 64 bytes of sense data could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption), and possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-12233

Shankara Pailoor reported that a crafted JFS filesystem image could trigger a denial of service (memory corruption). This could possibly also be used for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-1000204

The syzbot software found that the SCSI generic driver (sg) would in some circumstances allow reading data from uninitialised buffers, which could include sensitive information from the kernel or other tasks. However, only privileged users with the CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability were allowed to do this, so this has little or no security impact.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 4.9.110-1~deb8u1. This update additionally fixes Debian bugs #860900, #872907, #892057, #896775, #897590, and #898137; and includes many more bug fixes from stable updates 4.9.89-4.9.110 inclusive.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux-4.9 packages.
