In the Linux kernel through 5.4.6, there are information leaks of uninitialized memory to a USB device in the drivers/net/can/usb/kvaser_usb/kvaser_usb_leaf.c driver, aka CID-da2311a6385c.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4485-1 advisory.

  - An issue where a provided address with access_ok() is not checked was discovered in     i915_gem_execbuffer2_ioctl in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_execbuffer.c in the Linux kernel through     4.19.13. A local attacker can craft a malicious IOCTL function call to overwrite arbitrary kernel memory,     resulting in a Denial of Service or privilege escalation. (CVE-2018-20669)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.4.6, there are information leaks of uninitialized memory to a USB device in     the drivers/net/can/usb/kvaser_usb/kvaser_usb_leaf.c driver, aka CID-da2311a6385c. (CVE-2019-19947)

  - go7007_snd_init in drivers/media/usb/go7007/snd-go7007.c in the Linux kernel before 5.6 does not call     snd_card_free for a failure path, which causes a memory leak, aka CID-9453264ef586. (CVE-2019-20810)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of Userspace core dumps. This flaw allows an     attacker with a local account to crash a trivial program and exfiltrate private kernel data.
    (CVE-2020-10732)

  - A logic bug flaw was found in Linux kernel before 5.8-rc1 in the implementation of SSBD. A bug in the     logic handling allows an attacker with a local account to disable SSBD protection during a context switch     when additional speculative execution mitigations are in place. This issue was introduced when the per     task/process conditional STIPB switching was added on top of the existing SSBD switching. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality. (CVE-2020-10766)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel before 5.8-rc1 in the implementation of the Enhanced IBPB (Indirect     Branch Prediction Barrier). The IBPB mitigation will be disabled when STIBP is not available or when the     Enhanced Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation (IBRS) is available. This flaw allows a local attacker to     perform a Spectre V2 style attack when this configuration is active. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to confidentiality. (CVE-2020-10767)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel before 5.8-rc1 in the prctl() function, where it can be used to     enable indirect branch speculation after it has been disabled. This call incorrectly reports it as being     'force disabled' when it is not and opens the system to Spectre v2 attacks. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to confidentiality. (CVE-2020-10768)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel before 5.8-rc6 in the ZRAM kernel module, where a user with a local     account and the ability to read the /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add file can create ZRAM device nodes in     the /dev/ directory. This read allocates kernel memory and is not accounted for a user that triggers the     creation of that ZRAM device. With this vulnerability, continually reading the device may consume a large     amount of system memory and cause the Out-of-Memory (OOM) killer to activate and terminate random     userspace processes, possibly making the system inoperable. (CVE-2020-10781)

  - An issue was discovered in xfs_agf_verify in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_alloc.c in the Linux kernel through 5.6.10.
    Attackers may trigger a sync of excessive duration via an XFS v5 image with crafted metadata, aka     CID-d0c7feaf8767. (CVE-2020-12655)

  - gss_mech_free in net/sunrpc/auth_gss/gss_mech_switch.c in the rpcsec_gss_krb5 implementation in the Linux     kernel through 5.6.10 lacks certain domain_release calls, leading to a memory leak. Note: This was     disputed with the assertion that the issue does not grant any access not already available. It is a     problem that on unloading a specific kernel module some memory is leaked, but loading kernel modules is a     privileged operation. A user could also write a kernel module to consume any amount of memory they like     and load that replicating the effect of this bug (CVE-2020-12656)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.6.11. btree_gc_coalesce in drivers/md/bcache/btree.c     has a deadlock if a coalescing operation fails. (CVE-2020-12771)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 4.4 through 5.7.1. drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c has an integer     overflow if k_ascii is called several times in a row, aka CID-b86dab054059. NOTE: Members in the community     argue that the integer overflow does not lead to a security issue in this case. (CVE-2020-13974)

  - In the Linux kernel 4.4 through 5.7.6, usbtest_disconnect in drivers/usb/misc/usbtest.c has a memory leak,     aka CID-28ebeb8db770. (CVE-2020-15393)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.7.8, fs/nfsd/vfs.c (in the NFS server) can set incorrect permissions on new     filesystem objects when the filesystem lacks ACL support, aka CID-22cf8419f131. This occurs because the     current umask is not considered. (CVE-2020-24394)

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

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.(CVE-2019-19227)A memory leak in the     adis_update_scan_mode() function in     drivers/iio/imu/adis_buffer.c in the Linux kernel     before 5.3.9 allows attackers to cause a denial of     service (memory consumption), aka     CID-ab612b1daf41.(CVE-2019-19060)In the Linux kernel     before 5.3.11, there is an info-leak bug that can be     caused by a malicious USB device in the     driverset/can/usb/peak_usb/pcan_usb_core.c driver, aka     CID-f7a1337f0d29.(CVE-2019-19534)In the Linux kernel     before 5.3.11, there is a use-after-free bug that can     be caused by a malicious USB device in the     driverset/can/usb/mcba_usb.c driver, aka     CID-4d6636498c41.(CVE-2019-19529)In the Linux kernel     before 5.3.9, there is a use-after-free bug that can be     caused by a malicious USB device in the     driversfc/pn533/usb.c driver, aka     CID-6af3aa57a098.(CVE-2019-19526)In the Linux kernel     before 5.3.6, there is a use-after-free bug that can be     caused by a malicious USB device in the     driverset/ieee802154/atusb.c driver, aka     CID-7fd25e6fc035.(CVE-2019-19525)In the Linux kernel     before 5.3.9, there are multiple out-of-bounds write     bugs that can be caused by a malicious USB device in     the Linux kernel HID drivers, aka CID-d9d4b1e46d95.
    This affects drivers/hid/hid-axff.c,     drivers/hid/hid-dr.c, drivers/hid/hid-emsff.c,     drivers/hid/hid-gaff.c, drivers/hid/hid-holtekff.c,     drivers/hid/hid-lg2ff.c, drivers/hid/hid-lg3ff.c,     drivers/hid/hid-lg4ff.c, drivers/hid/hid-lgff.c,     drivers/hid/hid-logitech-hidpp.c,     drivers/hid/hid-microsoft.c, drivers/hid/hid-sony.c,     drivers/hid/hid-tmff.c, and     drivers/hid/hid-zpff.c.(CVE-2019-19532)In the Linux     kernel before 5.2.10, there is a use-after-free bug     that can be caused by a malicious USB device in the     drivers/hid/usbhid/hiddev.c driver, aka     CID-9c09b214f30e.(CVE-2019-19527)** DISPUTED ** The     Linux kernel through 5.0.7, when CONFIG_IA32_AOUT is     enabled and ia32_aout is loaded, allows local users to     bypass ASLR on setuid a.out programs (if any exist)     because install_exec_creds() is called too late in     load_aout_binary() in fs/binfmt_aout.c, and thus the     ptrace_may_access() check has a race condition when     reading /proc/pid/stat. NOTE: the software maintainer     disputes that this is a vulnerability because ASLR for     a.out format executables has never been     supported.(CVE-2019-11191)In the Linux kernel before     5.3.12, there is a use-after-free bug that can be     caused by a malicious USB device in the     drivers/input/ff-memless.c driver, aka     CID-fa3a5a1880c9.(CVE-2019-19524)driverset/wireless/mar     vell/libertas/if_sdio.c in the Linux kernel 5.2.14 does     not check the alloc_workqueue return value, leading to     a NULL pointer     dereference.(CVE-2019-16232)driverset/fjes/fjes_main.c     in the Linux kernel 5.2.14 does not check the     alloc_workqueue return value, leading to a NULL pointer     dereference.(CVE-2019-16231)** DISPUTED **     drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdkfd/kfd_interrupt.c in the Linux     kernel 5.2.14 does not check the alloc_workqueue return     value, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. NOTE: The     security community disputes this issues as not being     serious enough to be deserving a CVE     id.(CVE-2019-16229)Linux kernel CIFS implementation,     version 4.9.0 is vulnerable to a relative paths     injection in directory entry lists.(CVE-2019-10220)A     heap overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel, all     versions 3.x.x and 4.x.x before 4.18.0, in Marvell WiFi     chip driver. The vulnerability allows a remote attacker     to cause a system crash, resulting in a denial of     service, or execute arbitrary code. The highest threat     with this vulnerability is with the availability of the     system. If code execution occurs, the code will run     with the permissions of root. This will affect both     confidentiality and integrity of files on the     system.(CVE-2019-14901)The Linux kernel before 5.4.2     mishandles ext4_expand_extra_isize, as demonstrated by     use-after-free errors in __ext4_expand_extra_isize and     ext4_xattr_set_entry, related to fs/ext4/inode.c and     fs/ext4/super.c, aka CID-4ea99936a163.(CVE-2019-19767)A     heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in the Linux     kernel, all versions 3.x.x and 4.x.x before 4.18.0, 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.(CVE-2019-14895)Linux Kernel could allow a local     authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information,     caused by a Transaction Asynchronous Abort (TAA) h/w     issue in KVM. By sending a specially-crafted request,     an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain     sensitive information, and use this information to     launch further attacks against the affected     system.(CVE-2019-19338)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)An out-of-bounds memory write     issue was found in the Linux Kernel, version 3.13     through 5.4, in the way the Linux kernel's KVM     hypervisor handled the 'KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID'     ioctl(2) request to get CPUID features emulated by the     KVM hypervisor. A user or process able to access the     '/dev/kvm' device could use this flaw to crash the     system, resulting in a denial of     service.(CVE-2019-19332)kernel/sched/fair.c in the     Linux kernel before 5.3.9, when cpu.cfs_quota_us is     used (e.g., with Kubernetes), allows attackers to cause     a denial of service against non-cpu-bound applications     by generating a workload that triggers unwanted slice     expiration, aka CID-de53fd7aedb1. (In other words,     although this slice expiration would typically be seen     with benign workloads, it is possible that an attacker     could calculate how many stray requests are required to     force an entire Kubernetes cluster into a     low-performance state caused by slice expiration, and     ensure that a DDoS attack sent that number of stray     requests. An attack does not affect the stability of     the kernel it only causes mismanagement of application     execution.)(CVE-2019-19922)A stack-based buffer     overflow was found in the Linux kernel, version     kernel-2.6.32, in Marvell WiFi chip driver. An attacker     is able to cause a denial of service (system crash) or,     possibly execute arbitrary code, when a STA works in     IBSS mode (allows connecting stations together without     the use of an AP) and connects to another     STA.(CVE-2019-14897)A heap-based buffer overflow     vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel, version     kernel-2.6.32, in Marvell WiFi chip driver. A remote     attacker could cause a denial of service (system crash)     or, possibly execute arbitrary code, when the     lbs_ibss_join_existing function is called after a STA     connects to an AP.(CVE-2019-14896)In the Linux kernel     through 5.4.6, there are information leaks of     uninitialized memory to a USB device in the     driverset/can/usb/kvaser_usb/kvaser_usb_leaf.c driver,     aka CID-da2311a6385c.(CVE-2019-19947)In the Linux     kernel before 5.1, there is a memory leak in

This will cause a memory leak and     denial of service.(CVE-2019-20095)An exploitable     denial-of-service vulnerability exists in the Linux     kernel prior to mainline 5.3. An attacker could exploit     this vulnerability by triggering AP to send IAPP     location updates for stations before the required     authentication process has completed. This could lead     to different denial-of-service scenarios, either by     causing CAM table attacks, or by leading to traffic     flapping if faking already existing clients in other     nearby APs of the same wireless infrastructure. An     attacker can forge Authentication and Association     Request packets to trigger this     vulnerability.(CVE-2019-5108)In a Linux KVM guest that     has PV TLB enabled, a process in the guest kernel may     be able to read memory locations from another process     in the same guest. This problem is limit to the host     running linux kernel 4.10 with a guest running linux     kernel 4.16 or later. The problem mainly affects AMD     processors but Intel CPUs cannot be ruled     out.(CVE-2019-3016)fsamei.c in the Linux kernel before     5.5 has a may_create_in_sticky use-after-free, which     allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS)     or possibly obtain sensitive information from kernel     memory, aka CID-d0cb50185ae9. One attack vector may be     an open system call for a UNIX domain socket, if the     socket is being moved to a new parent directory and its     old parent directory is being     removed.(CVE-2020-8428)There is a use-after-free     vulnerability in the Linux kernel through 5.5.2 in the     n_tty_receive_buf_common function in     drivers/tty_tty.c.(CVE-2020-8648)An issue was     discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.5.6. set_fdc     in drivers/block/floppy.c leads to a wait_til_ready     out-of-bounds read because the FDC index is not checked     for errors before assigning it, aka     CID-2e90ca68b0d2.(CVE-2020-9383)There is a     use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel     through 5.5.2 in the vgacon_invert_region function in     drivers/video/console/vgacon.c.(CVE-2020-8649)There is     a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel     through 5.5.2 in the vc_do_resize function in     drivers/tty/vt/vt.c.(CVE-2020-8647)In the Linux kernel     5.0.21, mounting a crafted ext4 filesystem image,     performing some operations, and unmounting can lead to     a use-after-free in ext4_put_super in fs/ext4/super.c,     related to dump_orphan_list in     fs/ext4/super.c.(CVE-2019-19447)A flaw was discovered     in the way that the KVM hypervisor handled instruction     emulation for an L2 guest when nested virtualisation is     enabled. Under some circumstances, an L2 guest may     trick the L0 guest into accessing sensitive L1     resources that should be inaccessible to the L2     guest.(CVE-2020-2732)In the Linux kernel before 5.3.11,     sound/core/timer.c has a use-after-free caused by     erroneous code refactoring, aka CID-e7af6307a8a5. This     is related to snd_timer_open and     snd_timer_close_locked. The timeri variable was     originally intended to be for a newly created timer     instance, but was used for a different purpose after     refactoring.(CVE-2019-19807)In the Linux kernel     5.4.0-rc2, there is a use-after-free (read) in the
    __blk_add_trace function in kernel/trace/blktrace.c     (which is used to fill out a blk_io_trace structure and     place it in a per-cpu sub-buffer).(CVE-2019-19768)In     the Linux kernel 5.0.21, mounting a crafted f2fs     filesystem image can cause a NULL pointer dereference     in f2fs_recover_fsync_data in fs/f2fs/recovery.c. This     is related to F2FS_P_SB in     fs/f2fs/f2fs.h.(CVE-2019-19815)** DISPUTED **
    __btrfs_free_extent in fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c in the     Linux kernel through 5.3.12 calls btrfs_print_leaf in a     certain ENOENT case, which allows local users to obtain     potentially sensitive information about register values     via the dmesg program. NOTE: The BTRFS development team     disputes this issues as not being a vulnerability     because '1) The kernel provide facilities to restrict     access to dmesg - dmesg_restrict=1 sysctl option. So     it's really up to the system administrator to judge     whether dmesg access shall be disallowed or not. 2)     WARN/WARN_ON are widely used macros in the linux     kernel. If this CVE is considered valid this would mean     there are literally thousands CVE lurking in the kernel

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 :

  - A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in the     Linux kernel's 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.(CVE-2019-14895)

  - A flaw was found in the fix for CVE-2019-11135, the way     Intel CPUs handle speculative execution of instructions     when a TSX Asynchronous Abort (TAA) error occurs. When     a guest is running on a host CPU affected by the TAA     flaw (TAA_NO=0), but is not affected by the MDS issue     (MDS_NO=1), the guest was to clear the affected buffers     by using a VERW instruction mechanism. But when the     MDS_NO=1 bit was exported to the guests, the guests did     not use the VERW mechanism to clear the affected     buffers. This issue affects guests running on Cascade     Lake CPUs and requires that host has 'TSX' enabled.
    Confidentiality of data is the highest threat     associated with this vulnerability.(CVE-2019-19338)

  - A flaw was found in the way Intel CPUs handle     speculative execution of instructions when the TSX     Asynchronous Abort (TAA) error occurs. A local     authenticated attacker with the ability to monitor     execution times could infer the TSX memory state by     comparing abort execution times. This could allow     information disclosure via this observed side-channel     for any TSX transaction being executed while an     attacker is able to observe abort timing. Intel's     Transactional Synchronisation Extensions (TSX) are set     of instructions which enable transactional memory     support to improve performance of the multi-threaded     applications, in the lock-protected critical sections.
    The CPU executes instructions in the critical-sections     as transactions, while ensuring their atomic state.
    When such transaction execution is unsuccessful, the     processor cannot ensure atomic updates to the     transaction memory, so the processor rolls back or     aborts such transaction execution. While TSX     Asynchronous Abort (TAA) is pending, CPU may continue     to read data from architectural buffers and pass it to     the dependent speculative operations. This may cause     information leakage via speculative side-channel means,     which is quite similar to the Microarchitectural Data     Sampling (MDS) issue.(CVE-2019-11135)

  - An out-of-bounds memory write issue was found in the     way the Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor handled the     'KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID' ioctl(2) request to get CPUID     features emulated by the KVM hypervisor. A user or     process able to access the '/dev/kvm' device could use     this flaw to crash the system, resulting in a denial of     service.(CVE-2019-19332)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's scheduler, where     it can allow attackers to cause a denial of service     against non-CPU-bound applications by generating a     workload that triggers unwanted scheduling slice     expiration. A local attacker who can trigger a specific     workload type could abuse this technique to trigger a     system to be seen as degraded, and possibly trigger     workload-rebalance in systems that use the     slice-expiration metric as a measure of system     health.(CVE-2019-19922)

  - A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the Linux     kernel's Marvell WiFi chip driver. An attacker is able     to cause a denial of service (system crash) or,     possibly execute arbitrary code, when a STA works in     IBSS mode (allows connecting stations together without     the use of an AP) and connects to another     STA.(CVE-2019-14897)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in     the Linux kernel's Marvell WiFi chip driver. A remote     attacker could cause a denial of service (system crash)     or, possibly execute arbitrary code, when the     lbs_ibss_join_existing function is called after a STA     connects to an AP.(CVE-2019-14896)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in versions     through 5.4.6, containing information leaks of     uninitialized memory to a USB device. The latest     findings show that the uninitialized memory allocation     was not leading to an information leak, but was     allocating the memory assigned with data on the next     line and hence causing no violation..(CVE-2019-19947)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP). A     local attacker with access to the system can create     DCCP sockets to cause a memory leak and repeat this     operation to exhaust all memory and panic the     system.(CVE-2019-20096)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's mwifiex driver     implementation when connecting to other WiFi devices in     'Test Mode.' A kernel memory leak can occur if an error     condition is met during the parameter negotiation. This     issue can lead to a denial of service if multiple error     conditions meeting the repeated connection attempts are     attempted.(CVE-2019-20095)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of the WiFi station handoff code. An attacker within     the radio range could use this flaw to deny a valid     device from joining the access point.(CVE-2019-5108)

  - A flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's KVM     hypervisor handled deferred TLB flush requests from     guest. A race condition may occur between the guest     issuing a deferred TLB flush request to KVM, and then     KVM handling and acknowledging it. This may result in     invalid address translations from TLB being used to     access guest memory, leading to a potential information     leakage issue. An attacker may use this flaw to access     guest memory locations that it should not have access     to.(CVE-2019-3016)

  - fs/namei.c in the Linux kernel before 5.5 has a     may_create_in_sticky use-after-free, which allows local     users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) or possibly     obtain sensitive information from kernel memory, aka     CID-d0cb50185ae9. One attack vector may be an open     system call for a UNIX domain socket, if the socket is     being moved to a new parent directory and its old     parent directory is being removed.(CVE-2020-8428)

  - There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux     kernel through 5.5.2 in the n_tty_receive_buf_common     function in drivers/tty/n_tty.c.(CVE-2020-8648)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     5.5.6. set_fdc in drivers/block/floppy.c leads to a     wait_til_ready out-of-bounds read because the FDC index     is not checked for errors before assigning it, aka     CID-2e90ca68b0d2.(CVE-2020-9383)

  - There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux     kernel through 5.5.2 in the vgacon_invert_region     function in     drivers/video/console/vgacon.c.(CVE-2020-8649)

  - There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux     kernel through 5.5.2 in the vc_do_resize function in     drivers/tty/vt/vt.c.(CVE-2020-8647)

This will cause a memory leak and     denial of service.(CVE-2019-20095)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)A memory leak     in the crypto_report() function in     crypto/crypto_user_base.c in the Linux kernel through     5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service     (memory consumption) by triggering crypto_report_alg()     failures, aka CID-ffdde5932042.(CVE-2019-19062)In the     Linux kernel before 5.1.6, there is a use-after-free in     serial_ir_init_module() in     drivers/media/rc/serial_ir.c.(CVE-2019-19543)In the     Linux kernel through 5.4.6, there is a NULL pointer     dereference in drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_discover.c     because of mishandling of port disconnection during     discovery, related to a PHY down race condition, aka     CID-f70267f379b5.(CVE-2019-19965)In the Linux kernel     before 5.1.6, there is a use-after-free in cpia2_exit()     in drivers/media/usb/cpia2/cpia2_v4l.c that will cause     denial of service, aka     CID-dea37a972655.(CVE-2019-19966)An issue was     discovered in drivers/xen/balloon.c in the Linux kernel     before 5.2.3, as used in Xen through 4.12.x, allowing     guest OS users to cause a denial of service because of     unrestricted resource consumption during the mapping of     guest memory, aka CID-6ef36ab967c7.(CVE-2019-17351)A     memory leak in the crypto_reportstat() function in     drivers/virt/vboxguest/vboxguest_utils.c in the Linux     kernel before 5.3.9 allows attackers to cause a denial     of service (memory consumption) by triggering     copy_form_user() failures, aka     CID-e0b0cb938864.(CVE-2019-19048)kernel/sched/fair.c in     the Linux kernel before 5.3.9, when cpu.cfs_quota_us is     used (e.g., with Kubernetes), allows attackers to cause     a denial of service against non-cpu-bound applications     by generating a workload that triggers unwanted slice     expiration, aka CID-de53fd7aedb1. (In other words,     although this slice expiration would typically be seen     with benign workloads, it is possible that an attacker     could calculate how many stray requests are required to     force an entire Kubernetes cluster into a     low-performance state caused by slice expiration, and     ensure that a DDoS attack sent that number of stray     requests. An attack does not affect the stability of     the kernel it only causes mismanagement of application     execution.)(CVE-2019-19922)An out-of-bounds memory     write issue was found in the Linux Kernel, version 3.13     through 5.4, in the way the Linux kernel's KVM     hypervisor handled the 'KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID'     ioctl(2) request to get CPUID features emulated by the     KVM hypervisor. A user or process able to access the     '/dev/kvm' device could use this flaw to crash the     system, resulting in a denial of     service.(CVE-2019-19332)A flaw was found in the fix for     CVE-2019-11135, the way Intel CPUs handle speculative     execution of instructions when a TSX Asynchronous Abort     (TAA) error occurs. When a guest is running on a host     CPU affected by the TAA flaw (TAA_NO=0), but is not     affected by the MDS issue (MDS_NO=1), the guest was to     clear the affected buffers by using a VERW instruction     mechanism. But when the MDS_NO=1 bit was exported to     the guests, the guests did not use the VERW mechanism     to clear the affected buffers. This issue affects     guests running on Cascade Lake CPUs and requires that     host has 'TSX' enabled. Confidentiality of data is the     highest threat associated with this     vulnerability.(CVE-2019-19338)In the Linux kernel     5.0.0-rc7 (as distributed in ubuntu/linux.git on     kernel.ubuntu.com), mounting a crafted f2fs filesystem     image and performing some operations can lead to     slab-out-of-bounds read access in ttm_put_pages in     drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm_page_alloc.c. This is related     to the vmwgfx or ttm module.(CVE-2019-19927)In the     Linux kernel 4.14 longterm through 4.14.165 and 4.19     longterm through 4.19.96 (and 5.x before 5.2), there is     a use-after-free (write) in the i915_ppgtt_close     function in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_gtt.c, aka     CID-7dc40713618c. This is related to     i915_gem_context_destroy_ioctl in     drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_context.c.(CVE-2020-7053)     In the Linux kernel through 5.4.6, there are     information leaks of uninitialized memory to a USB     device in the     driverset/can/usb/kvaser_usb/kvaser_usb_leaf.c driver,     aka CID-da2311a6385c.(CVE-2019-19947)In the Linux     kernel before 5.0.6, there is a NULL pointer     dereference in drop_sysctl_table() in     fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c, related to put_links, aka     CID-23da9588037e.(CVE-2019-20054)In the Linux kernel     before 5.1, there is a memory leak in
    __feat_register_sp() in net/dccp/feat.c, which may     cause denial of service, aka     CID-1d3ff0950e2b.(CVE-2019-20096)A heap-based buffer     overflow vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel,     version kernel-2.6.32, in Marvell WiFi chip driver. A     remote attacker could cause a denial of service (system     crash) or, possibly execute arbitrary code, when the     lbs_ibss_join_existing function is called after a STA     connects to an AP.(CVE-2019-14896)A heap-based buffer     overflow was discovered in the Linux kernel, all     versions 3.x.x and 4.x.x before 4.18.0, 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.(CVE-2019-14895)A stack-based buffer overflow was     found in the Linux kernel, version kernel-2.6.32, in     Marvell WiFi chip driver. An attacker is able to cause     a denial of service (system crash) or, possibly execute     arbitrary code, when a STA works in IBSS mode (allows     connecting stations together without the use of an AP)     and connects to another STA.(CVE-2019-14897)An     exploitable denial-of-service vulnerability exists in     the Linux kernel prior to mainline 5.3. An attacker     could exploit this vulnerability by triggering AP to     send IAPP location updates for stations before the     required authentication process has completed. This     could lead to different denial-of-service scenarios,     either by causing CAM table attacks, or by leading to     traffic flapping if faking already existing clients in     other nearby APs of the same wireless infrastructure.
    An attacker can forge Authentication and Association     Request packets to trigger this     vulnerability.(CVE-2019-5108)drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/rad     eon_display.c in the Linux kernel 5.2.14 does not check     the alloc_workqueue return value, leading to a NULL     pointer dereference.(CVE-2019-16230)

  - An out-of-bounds memory write issue was found in the Linux Kernel, version 3.13 through 5.4, in the way     the Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor handled the 'KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID' ioctl(2) request to get CPUID     features emulated by the KVM hypervisor. A user or process able to access the '/dev/kvm' device could use     this flaw to crash the system, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2019-19332)

  - fpregs_state_valid in arch/x86/include/asm/fpu/internal.h in the Linux kernel before 5.4.2, when GCC 9 is     used, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have     unspecified other impact because of incorrect fpu_fpregs_owner_ctx caching, as demonstrated by mishandling     of signal-based non-cooperative preemption in Go 1.14 prereleases on amd64, aka CID-59c4bd853abc.
    (CVE-2019-19602)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.4.2 mishandles ext4_expand_extra_isize, as demonstrated by use-after-free errors     in __ext4_expand_extra_isize and ext4_xattr_set_entry, related to fs/ext4/inode.c and fs/ext4/super.c, aka     CID-4ea99936a163. (CVE-2019-19767)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.4.6, there are information leaks of uninitialized memory to a USB device in     the drivers/net/can/usb/kvaser_usb/kvaser_usb_leaf.c driver, aka CID-da2311a6385c. (CVE-2019-19947)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.4.6, there is a NULL pointer dereference in     drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_discover.c because of mishandling of port disconnection during discovery, related     to a PHY down race condition, aka CID-f70267f379b5. (CVE-2019-19965)

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

The syzkaller tool discovered a missing bounds check in the KVM implementation for x86, which could lead to a heap buffer overflow. A local user permitted to use KVM could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-19523

The syzkaller tool discovered a use-after-free bug in the adutux USB driver. An attacker able to add and remove USB devices could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-19524

The syzkaller tool discovered a race condition in the ff-memless library used by input drivers. An attacker able to add and remove USB devices could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-19527

The syzkaller tool discovered that the hiddev driver did not correctly handle races between a task opening the device and disconnection of the underlying hardware. A local user permitted to access hiddev devices, and able to add and remove USB devices, could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-19530

The syzkaller tool discovered a potential use-after-free in the cdc-acm network driver. An attacker able to add USB devices could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-19531

The syzkaller tool discovered a use-after-free bug in the yurex USB driver. An attacker able to add and remove USB devices could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-19532

The syzkaller tool discovered a potential heap buffer overflow in the hid-gaff input driver, which was also found to exist in many other input drivers. An attacker able to add USB devices could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-19533

The syzkaller tool discovered that the ttusb-dec media driver was missing initialisation of a structure, which could leak sensitive information from kernel memory.

CVE-2019-19534, CVE-2019-19536

The syzkaller tool discovered that the peak_usb CAN driver was missing initialisation of some structures, which could leak sensitive information from kernel memory.

CVE-2019-19537

The syzkaller tool discovered race conditions in the USB stack, involving character device registration. An attacker able to add USB devices could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-19767

The syzkaller tool discovered that crafted ext4 volumes could trigger a buffer overflow in the ext4 filesystem driver. An attacker able to mount such a volume could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-19922

It was discovered that a change in Linux 3.16.61, 'sched/fair: Fix bandwidth timer clock drift condition', could lead to tasks being throttled before using their full quota of CPU time. A local user could use this bug to slow down other users' tasks. This change has been reverted.

CVE-2019-19947

It was discovered that the kvaser_usb CAN driver was missing initialisation of some structures, which could leak sensitive information from kernel memory.

CVE-2019-19965

Gao Chuan reported a race condition in the libsas library used by SCSI host drivers, which could lead to a NULL pointer dereference. An attacker able to add and remove SCSI devices could use this to cause a denial of service (BUG/oops).

CVE-2019-19966

The syzkaller tool discovered a missing error check in the cpia2 media driver, which could lead to a use-after-free. An attacker able to add USB devices could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 3.16.81-1.
