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

CVE-2015-8839

A race condition was found in the ext4 filesystem implementation. A local user could exploit this to cause a denial of service (filesystem corruption).

CVE-2018-14610, CVE-2018-14611, CVE-2018-14612, CVE-2018-14613

Wen Xu from SSLab at Gatech reported that crafted Btrfs volumes could trigger a crash (Oops) and/or out-of-bounds memory access. An attacker able to mount such a volume could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-5108

Mitchell Frank of Cisco discovered that when the IEEE 802.11 (WiFi) stack was used in AP mode with roaming, it would trigger roaming for a newly associated station before the station was authenticated. An attacker within range of the AP could use this to cause a denial of service, either by filling up a switching table or by redirecting traffic away from other stations.

CVE-2019-19319

Jungyeon discovered that a crafted filesystem can cause the ext4 implementation to deallocate or reallocate journal blocks. A user permitted to mount filesystems could use this to cause a denial of service (crash), or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-19447

It was discovered that the ext4 filesystem driver did not safely handle unlinking of an inode that, due to filesystem corruption, already has a link count of 0. An attacker able to mount arbitrary ext4 volumes could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-19768

Tristan Madani reported a race condition in the blktrace debug facility that could result in a use-after-free. A local user able to trigger removal of block devices could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (crash) or for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-20636

The syzbot tool found that the input subsystem did not fully validate keycode changes, which could result in a heap out-of-bounds write. A local user permitted to access the device node for an input or VT device could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-0009

Jann Horn reported that the Android ashmem driver did not prevent read-only files from being memory-mapped and then remapped as read-write. However, Android drivers are not enabled in Debian kernel configurations.

CVE-2020-0543

Researchers at VU Amsterdam discovered that on some Intel CPUs supporting the RDRAND and RDSEED instructions, part of a random value generated by these instructions may be used in a later speculative execution on any core of the same physical CPU. Depending on how these instructions are used by applications, a local user or VM guest could use this to obtain sensitive information such as cryptographic keys from other users or VMs.

This vulnerability can be mitigated by a microcode update, either as part of system firmware (BIOS) or through the intel-microcode package in Debian's non-free archive section. This kernel update only provides reporting of the vulnerability and the option to disable the mitigation if it is not needed.

CVE-2020-1749

Xiumei Mu reported that some network protocols that can run on top of IPv6 would bypass the Transformation (XFRM) layer used by IPsec, IPcomp/IPcomp6, IPIP, and IPv6 Mobility. This could result in disclosure of information over the network, since it would not be encrypted or routed according to the system policy.

CVE-2020-2732

Paulo Bonzini discovered that the KVM implementation for Intel processors did not properly handle instruction emulation for L2 guests when nested virtualization is enabled. This could allow an L2 guest to cause privilege escalation, denial of service, or information leaks in the L1 guest.

CVE-2020-8647, CVE-2020-8649

The Hulk Robot tool found a potential MMIO out-of-bounds access in the vgacon driver. A local user permitted to access a virtual terminal (/dev/tty1 etc.) on a system using the vgacon driver could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-8648

The syzbot tool found a race condition in the the virtual terminal driver, which could result in a use-after-free. A local user permitted to access a virtual terminal could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-9383

Jordy Zomer reported an incorrect range check in the floppy driver which could lead to a static out-of-bounds access. A local user permitted to access a floppy drive could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-10690

It was discovered that the PTP hardware clock subsystem did not properly manage device lifetimes. Removing a PTP hardware clock from the system while a user process was using it could lead to a use-after-free. The security impact of this is unclear.

CVE-2020-10751

Dmitry Vyukov reported that the SELinux subsystem did not properly handle validating multiple messages, which could allow a privileged attacker to bypass SELinux netlink restrictions.

CVE-2020-10942

It was discovered that the vhost_net driver did not properly validate the type of sockets set as back-ends. A local user permitted to access /dev/vhost-net could use this to cause a stack corruption via crafted system calls, resulting in denial of service (crash) or possibly privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-11494

It was discovered that the slcan (serial line CAN) network driver did not fully initialise CAN headers for received packets, resulting in an information leak from the kernel to user-space or over the CAN network.

CVE-2020-11565

Entropy Moe reported that the shared memory filesystem (tmpfs) did not correctly handle an 'mpol' mount option specifying an empty node list, leading to a stack-based out-of-bounds write. If user namespaces are enabled, a local user could use this to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-11608, CVE-2020-11609, CVE-2020-11668

It was discovered that the ov519, stv06xx, and xirlink_cit media drivers did not properly validate USB device descriptors. A physically present user with a specially constructed USB device could use this to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-12114

Piotr Krysiuk discovered a race condition between the umount and pivot_root operations in the filesystem core (vfs). A local user with the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in any user namespace could use this to cause a denial of service (crash).

CVE-2020-12464

Kyungtae Kim reported a race condition in the USB core that can result in a use-after-free. It is not clear how this can be exploited, but it could result in a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-12652

Tom Hatskevich reported a bug in the mptfusion storage drivers. An ioctl handler fetched a parameter from user memory twice, creating a race condition which could result in incorrect locking of internal data structures. A local user permitted to access /dev/mptctl could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-12653

It was discovered that the mwifiex WiFi driver did not sufficiently validate scan requests, resulting a potential heap buffer overflow. A local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-12654

It was discovered that the mwifiex WiFi driver did not sufficiently validate WMM parameters received from an access point (AP), resulting a potential heap buffer overflow. A malicious AP could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly to execute code on a vulnerable system.

CVE-2020-12769

It was discovered that the spi-dw SPI host driver did not properly serialise access to its internal state. The security impact of this is unclear, and this driver is not included in Debian's binary packages.

CVE-2020-12770

It was discovered that the sg (SCSI generic) driver did not correctly release internal resources in a particular error case. A local user permitted to access an sg device could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion).

CVE-2020-12826

Adam Zabrocki reported a weakness in the signal subsystem's permission checks. A parent process can choose an arbitary signal for a child process to send when it exits, but if the parent has executed a new program then the default SIGCHLD signal is sent. A local user permitted to run a program for several days could bypass this check, execute a setuid program, and then send an arbitrary signal to it.
Depending on the setuid programs installed, this could have some security impact.

CVE-2020-13143

Kyungtae Kim reported a potential heap out-of-bounds write in the USB gadget subsystem. A local user permitted to write to the gadget configuration filesystem could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or potentially for privilege escalation.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 3.16.84-1.

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The 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-2016-0823i1/4%0

  - 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-2013-2891i1/4%0

  - 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-2016-1575i1/4%0

  - 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-2017-5576i1/4%0

  - 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-2013-6368i1/4%0

  - 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-2017-6353i1/4%0

  - 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-2014-2523i1/4%0

  - 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-2016-5728i1/4%0

  - 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-2018-14613i1/4%0

  - 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-2014-9322i1/4%0

  - 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-2017-6951i1/4%0

  - 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-2015-0274i1/4%0

  - 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-2019-8980i1/4%0

  - 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-2015-4700i1/4%0

  - 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-2017-12153i1/4%0

  - 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-2017-14156i1/4%0

  - 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-2016-6787i1/4%0

  - 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-2015-8944i1/4%0

  - 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-2016-6516i1/4%0

  - 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-2017-1000380i1/4%0

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

CVE-2017-18249

A race condition was discovered in the disk space allocator of F2FS. A user with access to an F2FS volume could use this to cause a denial of service or other security impact.

CVE-2018-1128, CVE-2018-1129

The cephx authentication protocol used by Ceph was susceptible to replay attacks, and calculated signatures incorrectly. These vulnerabilities in the server required changes to authentication that are incompatible with existing clients. The kernel's client code has now been updated to be compatible with the fixed server.

CVE-2018-3639 (SSB)

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 adds a further mitigation for this issue in the eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter) implementation.

CVE-2018-5391 (FragmentSmack)

Juha-Matti Tilli discovered a flaw in the way the Linux kernel handled reassembly of fragmented IPv4 and IPv6 packets. A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to trigger time and calculation expensive fragment reassembly algorithms by sending specially crafted packets, leading to remote denial of service.

This was previously mitigated by reducing the default limits on memory usage for incomplete fragmented packets. This update replaces that mitigation with a more complete fix.

CVE-2018-5848

The wil6210 wifi driver did not properly validate lengths in scan and connection requests, leading to a possible buffer overflow. On systems using this driver, a local user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability could use this for denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or potentially for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-12896, CVE-2018-13053

New kernel packages are available for Slackware 14.2 to fix security issues.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP3 Azure kernel was updated to 4.4.162 to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2018-18281: 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. (bnc#1113769).

CVE-2018-18710: An information leak in cdrom_ioctl_select_disc 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 and CVE-2018-16658 (bnc#1113751).

CVE-2018-18690: 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 mishandled ATTR_REPLACE operations with conversion of an attr from short to long form (bnc#1105025).

CVE-2018-18386: drivers/tty/n_tty.c allowed local attackers (who are able to access pseudo terminals) to hang/block further usage of any pseudo terminal devices due to an EXTPROC versus ICANON confusion in TIOCINQ (bnc#1094825).

CVE-2018-9516: 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.
(bnc#1108498).

CVE-2018-14633: A security flaw was found in the chap_server_compute_md5() function in the ISCSI target code in a way an authentication request from an ISCSI initiator is processed. An unauthenticated remote attacker can cause a stack-based 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. (bnc#1107829).

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-2018-16597: Incorrect access checking in overlayfs mounts could be used by local attackers to modify or truncate files in the underlying filesystem (bnc#1106512).

CVE-2018-14613: There is an invalid pointer dereference in io_ctl_map_page() when mounting and operating a crafted btrfs image, because of a lack of block group item validation in check_leaf_item in fs/btrfs/tree-checker.c (bnc#1102896).

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-2018-16276: 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 bnc#1115593).

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#1087209).

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

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2018-14617: Prevent NULL pointer dereference and panic in hfsplus_lookup() 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 (bsc#1102870)

CVE-2018-14613: Prevent invalid pointer dereference in io_ctl_map_page() when mounting and operating a crafted btrfs image, caused by a lack of block group item validation in check_leaf_item (bsc#1102896).

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

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-2018-13094: 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-2018-13095: 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-2018-12896: 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)

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