CVE-2019-18683: An issue was discovered in drivers/media/platform/vivid. It is exploitable for privilege escalation on some Linux distributions where local users have /dev/video0 access, but only if the driver happens to be loaded. There are multiple race conditions during streaming stopping in this driver (part of the V4L2 subsystem). These issues are caused by wrong mutex locking in vivid_stop_generating_vid_cap(), vivid_stop_generating_vid_out(), sdr_cap_stop_streaming(), and the corresponding kthreads. At least one of these race conditions leads to a use-after-free (bnc#1155897).

CVE-2019-18809: A memory leak in the af9005_identify_state() function in drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/af9005.c allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption), aka CID-2289adbfa559 (bnc#1156258).

CVE-2019-19078: A memory leak in the ath10k_usb_hif_tx_sg() function in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/usb.c allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering usb_submit_urb() failures, aka CID-b8d17e7d93d2 (bnc#1157032).

CVE-2019-18660: The Linux kernel on powerpc allows Information Exposure because the Spectre-RSB mitigation is not in place for all applicable CPUs, aka CID-39e72bf96f58. This is related to arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.S and arch/powerpc/kernel/security.c (bnc#1157038).

CVE-2019-14895: A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in Marvell WiFi chip driver. The flaw could occur when the station attempts a connection negotiation during the handling of the remote devices country settings. This could allow the remote device to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code (bnc#1157158).

CVE-2019-19065: A memory leak in the sdma_init() function in drivers/infiniband/hw/hfi1/sdma.c allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering rhashtable_init() failures, aka CID-34b3be18a04e (bnc#1157191).

CVE-2019-19057: Two memory leaks in the mwifiex_pcie_init_evt_ring() function in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/pcie.c allow attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering mwifiex_map_pci_memory() failures, aka CID-d10dcb615c8e (bnc#1157193).

CVE-2019-19056: A memory leak in the mwifiex_pcie_alloc_cmdrsp_buf() function in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/pcie.c allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering mwifiex_map_pci_memory() failures, aka CID-db8fd2cde932 (bnc#1157197).

CVE-2019-19063: Two memory leaks in the rtl_usb_probe() function in drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/usb.c allow attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption), aka CID-3f9361695113 (bnc#1157298).

CVE-2019-19046: A memory leak in the __ipmi_bmc_register() function in drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c allow attackers to cause a denial of service (bsc#1157304).

CVE-2019-19068: A memory leak in the rtl8xxxu_submit_int_urb() function in drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu_core.c allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering usb_submit_urb() failures, aka CID-a2cdd07488e6 (bnc#1157307).

CVE-2019-19062: A memory leak in the crypto_report() function in crypto/crypto_user_base.c allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering crypto_report_alg() failures, aka CID-ffdde5932042 (bnc#1157333).

CVE-2019-19227: In the AppleTalk subsystem, there is a potential NULL pointer dereference because register_snap_client may return NULL. This will lead to denial of service in net/appletalk/aarp.c and net/appletalk/ddp.c, as demonstrated by unregister_snap_client, aka CID-9804501fa122 (bnc#1157678).

CVE-2019-11135: Aborting an asynchronous TSX operation on Intel CPUs with Transactional Memory support could be used to facilitate sidechannel information leaks out of microarchitectural buffers, similar to the previously described 'Microarchitectural Data Sampling' attack.

The Linux kernel was supplemented with the option to disable TSX operation altogether (requiring CPU Microcode updates on older systems) and better flushing of microarchitectural buffers (VERW).

The remote Oracle Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2019-4850 advisory.

  - Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCP retransmission queue implementation in tcp_fragment in the Linux     kernel could be fragmented when handling certain TCP Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) sequences. A remote     attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kernel releases     4.4.182, 4.9.182, 4.14.127, 4.19.52, 5.1.11, and is fixed in commit     f070ef2ac66716357066b683fb0baf55f8191a2e. (CVE-2019-11478)

  - A buffer overflow flaw was found, in versions from 2.6.34 to 5.2.x, in the way Linux kernel's vhost     functionality that translates virtqueue buffers to IOVs, logged the buffer descriptors during migration. A     privileged guest user able to pass descriptors with invalid length to the host when migration is underway,     could use this flaw to increase their privileges on the host. (CVE-2019-14835)

  - Improper invalidation for page table updates by a virtual guest operating system for multiple Intel(R)     Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable denial of service of the host system via     local access. (CVE-2018-12207)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.2.3, drivers/block/floppy.c allows a denial of service by setup_format_params     division-by-zero. Two consecutive ioctls can trigger the bug: the first one should set the drive geometry     with .sect and .rate values that make F_SECT_PER_TRACK be zero. Next, the floppy format operation should     be called. It can be triggered by an unprivileged local user even when a floppy disk has not been     inserted. NOTE: QEMU creates the floppy device by default. (CVE-2019-14284)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.1. There is a memory leak in     register_queue_kobjects() in net/core/net-sysfs.c, which will cause denial of service. (CVE-2019-15916)

  - TSX Asynchronous Abort condition on some CPUs utilizing speculative execution may allow an authenticated     user to potentially enable information disclosure via a side channel with local access. (CVE-2019-11135)

  - The tower_probe function in drivers/usb/misc/legousbtower.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.1 allows local     users (who are physically proximate for inserting a crafted USB device) to gain privileges by leveraging a     write-what-where condition that occurs after a race condition and a NULL pointer dereference.
    (CVE-2017-15102)

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/i2c/i2c-core-smbus.c in the Linux kernel before 4.14.15. There is an     out of bounds write in the function i2c_smbus_xfer_emulated. (CVE-2017-18551)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.2.3. There is a use-after-free caused by a malicious     USB device in the drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-init.c driver. (CVE-2019-15213)

  - ieee802154_create in net/ieee802154/socket.c in the AF_IEEE802154 network module in the Linux kernel     through 5.3.2 does not enforce CAP_NET_RAW, which means that unprivileged users can create a raw socket,     aka CID-e69dbd4619e7. (CVE-2019-17053)

  - A flaw was found in the hugetlb_mcopy_atomic_pte function in mm/hugetlb.c in the Linux kernel before     4.13.12. A lack of size check could cause a denial of service (BUG). (CVE-2017-15128)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.2.6. There is a use-after-free caused by a malicious     USB device in the drivers/media/usb/cpia2/cpia2_usb.c driver. (CVE-2019-15215)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.2.3. There is a NULL pointer dereference caused by a     malicious USB device in the drivers/media/usb/zr364xx/zr364xx.c driver. (CVE-2019-15217)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.0, a memory leak exists in sit_init_net() in net/ipv6/sit.c when     register_netdev() fails to register sitn->fb_tunnel_dev, which may cause denial of service, aka     CID-07f12b26e21a. (CVE-2019-16994)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.0.3, a memory leak exits in hsr_dev_finalize() in net/hsr/hsr_device.c if     hsr_add_port fails to add a port, which may cause denial of service, aka CID-6caabe7f197d.
    (CVE-2019-16995)

  - base_sock_create in drivers/isdn/mISDN/socket.c in the AF_ISDN network module in the Linux kernel through     5.3.2 does not enforce CAP_NET_RAW, which means that unprivileged users can create a raw socket, aka     CID-b91ee4aa2a21. (CVE-2019-17055)

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

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

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2018-12207: Untrusted virtual machines on Intel CPUs could exploit a race condition in the Instruction Fetch Unit of the Intel CPU to cause a Machine Exception during Page Size Change, causing the CPU core to be non-functional.

The Linux Kernel kvm hypervisor was adjusted to avoid page size changes in executable pages by splitting / merging huge pages into small pages as needed. More information can be found on https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=7023735 CVE-2019-16995: Fix a memory leak in hsr_dev_finalize() if hsr_add_port failed to add a port, which may have caused denial of service (bsc#1152685).

CVE-2019-11135: Aborting an asynchronous TSX operation on Intel CPUs with Transactional Memory support could be used to facilitate sidechannel information leaks out of microarchitectural buffers, similar to the previously described 'Microarchitectural Data Sampling' attack.

The Linux kernel was supplemented with the option to disable TSX operation altogether (requiring CPU Microcode updates on older systems) and better flushing of microarchitectural buffers (VERW).

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

The openSUSE Leap 15.0 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2019-0154: An unprotected read access to i915     registers has been fixed that could have been abused to     facilitate a local denial-of-service attack.
    (bsc#1135966)

  - CVE-2019-0155: A privilege escalation vulnerability has     been fixed in the i915 module that allowed batch buffers     from user mode to gain super user privileges.
    (bsc#1135967)

  - CVE-2019-18805: There was a net/ipv4/tcp_input.c signed     integer overflow in tcp_ack_update_rtt() when userspace     writes a very large integer to     /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_min_rtt_wlen, leading to a denial     of service or possibly unspecified other impact, aka     CID-19fad20d15a6 (bnc#1156187).

  - CVE-2019-17055: base_sock_create in     drivers/isdn/mISDN/socket.c in the AF_ISDN network     module did not enforce CAP_NET_RAW, which means that     unprivileged users can create a raw socket, aka     CID-b91ee4aa2a21 (bnc#1152782).

  - CVE-2019-16995: A memory leak exits in     hsr_dev_finalize() in net/hsr/hsr_device.c, if     hsr_add_port fails to add a port, which may cause denial     of service, aka CID-6caabe7f197d (bnc#1152685).

  - CVE-2019-11135: Aborting an asynchronous TSX operation     on Intel CPUs with Transactional Memory support could be     used to facilitate sidechannel information leaks out of     microarchitectural buffers, similar to the previously     described 'Microarchitectural Data Sampling' attack.

    The Linux kernel was supplemented with the option to     disable TSX operation altogether (requiring CPU     Microcode updates on older systems) and better flushing     of microarchitectural buffers (VERW).

    The set of options available is described in our TID at     https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=7024251
