Buffer overflow in network stack for EDK II may allow unprivileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege and/or denial of service via network.

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2019-4668 advisory.

  - Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and indirect branch prediction may allow     unauthorized disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a side-channel analysis.
    (CVE-2017-5715)

  - Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and branch prediction may allow unauthorized     disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a side-channel analysis.
    (CVE-2017-5753)

  - Buffer overflow in BlockIo service for EDK II may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable     escalation of privilege, information disclosure and/or denial of service via network access.
    (CVE-2018-12180)

  - Bounds checking in Tianocompress before November 7, 2017 may allow an authenticated user to potentially     enable an escalation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2017-5731)

  - Buffer overflow in network stack for EDK II may allow unprivileged user to potentially enable escalation     of privilege and/or denial of service via network. (CVE-2018-12178)

  - Stack overflow in corrupted bmp for EDK II may allow unprivileged user to potentially enable denial of     service or elevation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2018-12181)

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

(CVE-2018-12180)

A stack overflow was discovered in bmp. An unprivileged user could potentially enable denial of service or elevation of privilege via local access. This issue was already fixed in a previous release for 18.04 LTS and 19.10. (CVE-2018-12181)

It was discovered that memory was not cleared before free that could lead to potential password leak. (CVE-2019-14558)

A memory leak was discovered in ArpOnFrameRcvdDpc. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or other unspecified impact. (CVE-2019-14559)

An integer overflow was discovered in MdeModulePkg/PiDxeS3BootScriptLib. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or other unspecified impact.
(CVE-2019-14563)

It was discovered that the affected version doesn't properly check whether an unsigned EFI file should be allowed or not. An attacker could possibly load unsafe content by bypassing the verification.
(CVE-2019-14575)

It was discovered that original configuration runtime memory is freed, but it is still exposed to the OS runtime. (CVE-2019-14586)

A double-unmap was discovered in TRB creation. An attacker could use it to cause a denial of service or other unspecified impact.
(CVE-2019-14587).

Logic error in FV parsing in MdeModulePkg\Core\Pei\FwVol\FwVol.c (CVE-2018-3630)

Logic issue in variable service module for EDK II/UDK2018/UDK2017/UDK2015 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege, information disclosure and/or denial of service via local access. (CVE-2017-5734)

A missing check leads to an out-of-bounds read and write flaw in NetworkPkg/DnsDxe as shipped in edk2, when it parses DNS responses. A remote attacker who controls the DNS server used by the vulnerable firmware may use this flaw to make the system crash. (CVE-2018-3613)

improper DNS packet size check (CVE-2018-12178)

Privilege escalation via heap-based buffer overflow in Decode() function (CVE-2017-5735)

Privilege escalation via heap-based buffer overflow in MakeTable() function (CVE-2017-5733)
