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 (bsc#1143189).

CVE-2019-14283: The function set_geometry in drivers/block/floppy.c did not validate the sect and head fields, as demonstrated by an integer overflow and out-of-bounds read. It can be triggered by an unprivileged local user when a floppy disk has been inserted. NOTE:
QEMU creates the floppy device by default (bsc#1143191).

CVE-2019-11810: A NULL pointer dereference can occur when megasas_create_frame_pool() fails in megasas_alloc_cmds() in drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c. This causes a Denial of Service, related to a use-after-free (bsc#1134399).

CVE-2019-13648: In the Linux kernel on the powerpc platform, when hardware transactional memory is disabled, a local user can cause a denial of service (TM Bad Thing exception and system crash) via a sigreturn() system call that sends a crafted signal frame. This affects arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_32.c and arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_64.c (bnc#1142254).

CVE-2019-13631: In parse_hid_report_descriptor in drivers/input/tablet/gtco.c, a malicious USB device can send an HID report that triggers an out-of-bounds write during generation of debugging messages (bsc#1142023).

CVE-2019-15118: Fixed kernel stack exhaustion in check_input_term in sound/usb/mixer.c via mishandled recursion (bnc#1145922).

CVE-2019-15117: Fixed out-of-bounds memory access in parse_audio_mixer_unit in sound/usb/mixer.c via mishandled short descriptor (bnc#1145920).

CVE-2019-3819: A flaw was fixed in the function hid_debug_events_read() in drivers/hid/hid-debug.c file which may have enter an infinite loop with certain parameters passed from a userspace. A local privileged user ('root') could have caused a system lock up and a denial of service (bnc#1123161).

CVE-2019-10207: Check for missing tty operations in bluetooth/hci_uart (bsc#1142857).

CVE-2018-20856: Fixed a use-after-free issue in block/blk-core.c, where certain error case are mishandled (bnc#1143048).

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

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 :

  - 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)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handle_rx()     function in the vhost_net driver. A malicious virtual     guest, under specific conditions, can trigger an     out-of-bounds write in a kmalloc-8 slab on a virtual     host which may lead to a kernel memory corruption and a     system panic. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege     escalation cannot be fully ruled out.(CVE-2018-16880)

  - A NULL pointer dereference security flaw was found in     the Linux kernel in kvm_pv_send_ipi() in     arch/x86/kvm/lapic.c. This allows local users with     certain privileges to cause a denial of service via a     crafted system call to the KVM     subsystem.(CVE-2018-19406)

  - The function hso_get_config_data in     drivers/net/usb/hso.c in the Linux kernel through     4.19.8 reads if_num from the USB device (as a u8) and     uses it to index a small array, resulting in an object     out-of-bounds (OOB) read that potentially allows     arbitrary read in the kernel address     space.(CVE-2018-19985)

  - ** RESERVED ** This candidate has been reserved by an     organization or individual that will use it when     announcing a new security problem. When the candidate     has been publicized, the details for this candidate     will be provided.(CVE-2019-3459)

  - ** RESERVED ** This candidate has been reserved by an     organization or individual that will use it when     announcing a new security problem. When the candidate     has been publicized, the details for this candidate     will be provided.(CVE-2019-3460)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the function     hid_debug_events_read() in the drivers/hid/hid-debug.c     file which may enter an infinite loop with certain     parameters passed from a userspace. A local privileged     user ('root') can cause a system lock up and a denial     of service.(CVE-2019-3819)

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.20.14, expand_downwards in     mm/mmap.c lacks a check for the mmap minimum address,     which makes it easier for attackers to exploit kernel     NULL pointer dereferences on non-SMAP platforms. This     is related to a capability check for the wrong     task.(CVE-2019-9213)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's vfio interface     implementation that permits violation of the user's     locked memory limit. If a device is bound to a vfio     driver, such as vfio-pci, and the local attacker is     administratively granted ownership of the device, it     may cause a system memory exhaustion and thus a denial     of service (DoS). Versions 3.10, 4.14 and 4.18 are     vulnerable.(CVE-2019-3882)

  - An infinite loop issue was found in the vhost_net     kernel module in Linux Kernel up to and including     v5.1-rc6, while handling incoming packets in     handle_rx(). It could occur if one end sends packets     faster than the other end can process them. A guest     user, maybe remote one, could use this flaw to stall     the vhost_net kernel thread, resulting in a DoS     scenario.(CVE-2019-3900)

  - It was found that the net_dma code in tcp_recvmsg() in     the 2.6.32 kernel as shipped in RHEL6 is thread-unsafe.
    So an unprivileged multi-threaded userspace application     calling recvmsg() for the same network socket in     parallel executed on ioatdma-enabled hardware with     net_dma enabled can leak the memory, crash the host     leading to a denial-of-service or cause a random memory     corruption.(CVE-2019-3837)

  - A race condition in perf_event_open() allows local     attackers to leak sensitive data from setuid programs.
    As no relevant locks (in particular the     cred_guard_mutex) are held during the     ptrace_may_access() call, it is possible for the     specified target task to perform an execve() syscall     with setuid execution before perf_event_alloc()     actually attaches to it, allowing an attacker to bypass     the ptrace_may_access() check and the     perf_event_exit_task(current) call that is performed in     install_exec_creds() during privileged execve() calls.
    This issue affects kernel versions before 4.8.
    (CVE-2019-3901)

  - ** RESERVED ** This candidate has been reserved by an     organization or individual that will use it when     announcing a new security problem. When the candidate     has been publicized, the details for this candidate     will be provided.(CVE-2019-8956)

  - cipso_v4_validate in include/net/cipso_ipv4.h in the     Linux kernel before 3.11.7, when CONFIG_NETLABEL is     disabled, allows attackers to cause a denial of service     (infinite loop and crash), as demonstrated by icmpsic,     a different vulnerability than     CVE-2013-0310.(CVE-2013-7470)

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.

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

CVE-2018-14625

A use-after-free bug was found in the vhost driver for the Virtual Socket protocol. If this driver is used to communicate with a malicious virtual machine guest, the guest could read sensitive information from the host kernel.

CVE-2018-16884

A flaw was found in the NFS 4.1 client implementation. Mounting NFS shares in multiple network namespaces at the same time could lead to a user-after-free. Local users might be able to use this for denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

This can be mitigated by disabling unprivileged users from creating user namespaces, which is the default in Debian.

CVE-2018-19824

Hui Peng and Mathias Payer discovered a use-after-free bug in the USB audio driver. A physically present attacker able to attach a specially designed USB device could use this for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-19985

Hui Peng and Mathias Payer discovered a missing bounds check in the hso USB serial driver. A physically present user able to attach a specially designed USB device could use this to read sensitive information from the kernel or to cause a denial of service (crash).

CVE-2018-20169

Hui Peng and Mathias Payer discovered missing bounds checks in the USB core. A physically present attacker able to attach a specially designed USB device could use this to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-1000026

It was discovered that Linux could forward aggregated network packets with a segmentation size too large for the output device. In the specific case of Broadcom NetXtremeII 10Gb adapters, this would result in a denial of service (firmware crash). This update adds a mitigation to the bnx2x driver for this hardware.

CVE-2019-3459, CVE-2019-3460

Shlomi Oberman, Yuli Shapiro and Karamba Security Ltd. research team discovered missing range checks in the Bluetooth L2CAP implementation.
If Bluetooth is enabled, a nearby attacker could use these to read sensitive information from the kernel.

CVE-2019-3701

Muyu Yu and Marcus Meissner reported that the CAN gateway implementation allowed the frame length to be modified, typically resulting in out-of-bounds memory-mapped I/O writes. On a system with CAN devices present, a local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability in the initial net namespace could use this to cause a crash (oops) or other hardware-dependent impact.

CVE-2019-3819

A potential infinite loop was discovered in the HID debugfs interface exposed under /sys/kernel/debug/hid. A user with access to these files could use this for denial of service.

This interface is only accessible to root by default, which fully mitigates the issue.

CVE-2019-6974

Jann Horn reported a use-after-free bug in KVM. A local user with access to /dev/kvm could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-7221

Jim Mattson and Felix Wilhelm reported a user-after-free bug in KVM's nested VMX implementation. On systems with Intel CPUs, a local user with access to /dev/kvm could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

Nested VMX is disabled by default, which fully mitigates the issue.

CVE-2019-7222

Felix Wilhelm reported an information leak in KVM for x86. A local user with access to /dev/kvm could use this to read sensitive information from the kernel.

CVE-2019-8980

A bug was discovered in the kernel_read_file() function used to load firmware files. In certain error conditions it could leak memory, which might lead to a denial of service. This is probbaly not exploitable in a Debian system.

CVE-2019-9213

Jann Horn reported that privileged tasks could cause stack segments, including those in other processes, to grow downward to address 0. On systems lacking SMAP (x86) or PAN (ARM), this exacerbated other vulnerabilities: a NULL pointer dereference could be exploited for privilege escalation rather than only for denial of service.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 4.9.168-1~deb8u1. This version also includes fixes for Debian bugs #904385, #918103, and #922306; and other fixes included in upstream stable updates.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux-4.9 and linux-latest-4.9 packages. You will need to use 'apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs' or 'apt upgrade' as the binary package names have changed.

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

  - 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 mmap in the Linux kernel allowing     the process to map a null page. This allows attackers     to abuse this mechanism to turn null pointer     dereferences into workable exploits.(CVE-2019-9213)

  - A security flaw was found in the Linux kernel in a way     that the cleancache subsystem clears an inode after the     final file truncation (removal). The new file created     with the same inode may contain leftover pages from     cleancache and the old file data instead of the new     one.(CVE-2018-16862)

  - 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)

  - In the function wmi_set_ie() in the Linux kernel the     length validation code does not handle unsigned integer     overflow properly. As a result, a large value of the     'ie_len' argument can cause a buffer overflow and thus     a memory corruption leading to a system crash or other     or unspecified impact. Due to the nature of the flaw,     privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out,     although we believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2018-5848)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the function     hid_debug_events_read() in the drivers/hid/hid-debug.c     file which may enter an infinite loop with certain     parameters passed from a user space. A local privileged     user ('root') can cause a system lock up and a denial     of service.(CVE-2019-3819)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the     hid_debug_events_read() function in the     drivers/hid/hid-debug.c file. A lack of the certain     checks may allow a privileged user ('root') to achieve     an out-of-bounds write and thus receiving user space     buffer corruption.(CVE-2018-9516)

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

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2019-2024: A use-after-free when disconnecting a source was fixed which could lead to crashes. bnc#1129179).

CVE-2019-9213: expand_downwards in mm/mmap.c lacks a check for the mmap minimum address, which made it easier for attackers to exploit kernel NULL pointer dereferences on non-SMAP platforms. This is related to a capability check for the wrong task (bnc#1128166).

CVE-2019-8980: A memory leak in the kernel_read_file function in fs/exec.c allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering vfs_read failures (bnc#1126209).

CVE-2019-3819: A flaw was found in the function hid_debug_events_read() in drivers/hid/hid-debug.c file which may enter an infinite loop with certain parameters passed from a userspace. A local privileged user ('root') can cause a system lock up and a denial of service. Versions from v4.18 and newer are vulnerable (bnc#1123161).

CVE-2019-8912: af_alg_release() in crypto/af_alg.c neglects to set a NULL value for a certain structure member, which leads to a use-after-free in sockfs_setattr (bnc#1125907).

CVE-2019-7308: kernel/bpf/verifier.c performed undesirable out-of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic in various cases, including cases of different branches with different state or limits to sanitize, leading to side-channel attacks (bnc#1124055).

The linux update issued as DLA-1731-1 caused a regression in the vmxnet3 (VMware virtual network adapter) driver. This update corrects that regression, and an earlier regression in the CIFS network filesystem implementation introduced in DLA-1422-1. For reference the original advisory text follows.

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

CVE-2016-10741

A race condition was discovered in XFS that would result in a crash (BUG). A local user permitted to write to an XFS volume could use this for denial of service.

CVE-2017-5753

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

CVE-2017-13305

A memory over-read was discovered in the keys subsystem's encrypted key type. A local user could use this for denial of service or possibly to read sensitive information.

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 fixes bugs in the mitigations for SSB for AMD processors.

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-2018-5953

The swiotlb subsystem printed kernel memory addresses to the system log, which could help a local attacker to exploit other vulnerabilities.

CVE-2018-12896, CVE-2018-13053

Team OWL337 reported possible integer overflows in the POSIX timer implementation. These might have some security impact.

CVE-2018-16862

Vasily Averin and Pavel Tikhomirov from Virtuozzo Kernel Team discovered that the cleancache memory management feature did not invalidate cached data for deleted files. On Xen guests using the tmem driver, local users could potentially read data from other users' deleted files if they were able to create new files on the same volume.

CVE-2018-16884

A flaw was found in the NFS 4.1 client implementation. Mounting NFS shares in multiple network namespaces at the same time could lead to a user-after-free. Local users might be able to use this for denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

This can be mitigated by disabling unprivileged users from creating user namespaces, which is the default in Debian.

CVE-2018-17972

Jann Horn reported that the /proc/*/stack files in procfs leaked sensitive data from the kernel. These files are now only readable by users with the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability (usually only root)

CVE-2018-18281

Jann Horn reported a race condition in the virtual memory manager that can result in a process briefly having access to memory after it is freed and reallocated. A local user permitted to create containers could possibly exploit this for denial of service (memory corruption) or for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-18690

Kanda Motohiro reported that XFS did not correctly handle some xattr (extended attribute) writes that require changing the disk format of the xattr. A user with access to an XFS volume could use this for denial of service.

CVE-2018-18710

It was discovered that the cdrom driver does not correctly validate the parameter to the CDROM_SELECT_DISC ioctl. A user with access to a cdrom device could use this to read sensitive information from the kernel or to cause a denial of service (crash).

CVE-2018-19824

Hui Peng and Mathias Payer discovered a use-after-free bug in the USB audio driver. A physically present attacker able to attach a specially designed USB device could use this for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-19985

Hui Peng and Mathias Payer discovered a missing bounds check in the hso USB serial driver. A physically present user able to attach a specially designed USB device could use this to read sensitive information from the kernel or to cause a denial of service (crash).

CVE-2018-20169

Hui Peng and Mathias Payer discovered missing bounds checks in the USB core. A physically present attacker able to attach a specially designed USB device could use this to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-20511

InfoSect reported an information leak in the AppleTalk IP/DDP implemntation. A local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability could use this to read sensitive information from the kernel.

CVE-2019-3701

Muyu Yu and Marcus Meissner reported that the CAN gateway implementation allowed the frame length to be modified, typically resulting in out-of-bounds memory-mapped I/O writes. On a system with CAN devices present, a local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability in the initial net namespace could use this to cause a crash (oops) or other hardware-dependent impact.

CVE-2019-3819

A potential infinite loop was discovered in the HID debugfs interface exposed under /sys/kernel/debug/hid. A user with access to these files could use this for denial of service.

This interface is only accessible to root by default, which fully mitigates the issue.

CVE-2019-6974

Jann Horn reported a use-after-free bug in KVM. A local user with access to /dev/kvm could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-7221

Jim Mattson and Felix Wilhelm reported a user-after-free bug in KVM's nested VMX implementation. On systems with Intel CPUs, a local user with access to /dev/kvm could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

Nested VMX is disabled by default, which fully mitigates the issue.

CVE-2019-7222

Felix Wilhelm reported an information leak in KVM for x86. A local user with access to /dev/kvm could use this to read sensitive information from the kernel.

CVE-2019-9213

Jann Horn reported that privileged tasks could cause stack segments, including those in other processes, to grow downward to address 0. On systems lacking SMAP (x86) or PAN (ARM), this exacerbated other vulnerabilities: a NULL pointer dereference could be exploited for privilege escalation rather than only for denial of service.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 3.16.64-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.
