    drivers/tty/tty_io.c and drivers/tty/tty_jobctrl.c may     allow a read-after-free attack against TIOCGSID, aka     CID-c8bcd9c5be24.(CVE-2020-29660)

  - A locking vulnerability was found in the tty subsystem     of the Linux kernel in drivers/tty/tty_jobctrl.c. This     flaw allows a local attacker to possibly corrupt memory     or escalate privileges. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well     as system availability.(CVE-2020-29661)

  - The Linux kernel is the kernel used by the open source     operating system Linux released by the Linux     Foundation. The Linux kernel con_font_op() has a code     problem vulnerability, which can force the use of freed     memory, resulting in denial of service or execution of     custom code.(CVE-2020-25668 CVE-2020-4788     CVE-2020-27830)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of MIDI, where an attacker with a local account and the     permissions to issue ioctl commands to midi devices     could trigger a use-after-free issue. A write to this     specific memory while freed and before use causes the     flow of execution to change and possibly allow for     memory corruption or privilege escalation. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality,     integrity, as well as system (CVE-2020-27786)

  - In various methods of hid-multitouch.c, there is a     possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds     check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege     with no additional execution privileges needed. User     interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product:

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-4680-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that debugfs in the Linux kernel as used by blktrace contained a use-after-free in some     situations. A privileged local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash). (CVE-2019-19770)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the binder IPC implementation in the Linux kernel,     leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service     (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-0423)

    Daniele Antonioli, Nils Ole Tippenhauer, and Kasper Rasmussen discovered that legacy pairing and secure-     connections pairing authentication in the Bluetooth protocol could allow an unauthenticated user to     complete authentication without pairing credentials via adjacent access. A physically proximate attacker     could use this to impersonate a previously paired Bluetooth device. (CVE-2020-10135)

    It was discovered that the console keyboard driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition. A local     attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2020-25656)

    Minh Yuan discovered that the tty driver in the Linux kernel contained race conditions when handling     fonts. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory).
    (CVE-2020-25668)

    Keyu Man discovered that the ICMP global rate limiter in the Linux kernel could be used to assist in     scanning open UDP ports. A remote attacker could use to facilitate attacks on UDP based services that     depend on source port randomization. (CVE-2020-25705)

    Jinoh Kang discovered that the Xen event channel infrastructure in the Linux kernel contained a race     condition. An attacker in guest could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (dom0 crash).
    (CVE-2020-27675)

    Daniel Axtens discovered that PowerPC RTAS implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict     memory accesses in some situations. A privileged local attacker could use this to arbitrarily modify     kernel memory, potentially bypassing kernel lockdown restrictions. (CVE-2020-27777)

    Minh Yuan discovered that the framebuffer console driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle fonts     in some conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or     possibly expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2020-28974)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

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

CVE-2019-19039

'Team bobfuzzer' reported a bug in Btrfs that could lead to an assertion failure (WARN). A user permitted to mount and access arbitrary filesystems could use this to cause a denial of service (crash) if the panic_on_warn kernel parameter is set.

CVE-2019-19377

'Team bobfuzzer' reported a bug in Btrfs that could lead to a use-after-free. A user permitted to mount and access arbitrary filesystems could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-19770

The syzbot tool discovered a race condition in the block I/O tracer (blktrace) that could lead to a system crash. Since blktrace can only be controlled by privileged users, the security impact of this is unclear.

CVE-2019-19816

'Team bobfuzzer' reported a bug in Btrfs that could lead to an out-of-bounds write. A user permitted to mount and access arbitrary filesystems could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-0423

A race condition was discovered in the Android binder driver, that could result in a use-after-free. On systems using this driver, a local user could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-8694

Multiple researchers discovered that the powercap subsystem allowed all users to read CPU energy meters, by default. On systems using Intel CPUs, this provided a side channel that could leak sensitive information between user processes, or from the kernel to user processes. The energy meters are now readable only by root, by default.

This issue can be mitigated by running :

chmod go-r /sys/devices/virtual/powercap/*/*/energy_uj

This needs to be repeated each time the system is booted with an unfixed kernel version.

CVE-2020-14351

A race condition was discovered in the performance events subsystem, which could lead to a use-after-free. A local user permitted to access performance events could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

Debian's kernel configuration does not allow unprivileged users to access peformance events by default, which fully mitigates this issue.

CVE-2020-25656

Yuan Ming and Bodong Zhao discovered a race condition in the virtual terminal (vt) driver that could lead to a use-after-free. A local user with the CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG capability could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-25668

Yuan Ming and Bodong Zhao discovered a race condition in the virtual terminal (vt) driver that could lead to a use-after-free. A local user with access to a virtual terminal, or with the CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG capability, could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-25669

Bodong Zhao discovered a bug in the Sun keyboard driver (sunkbd) that could lead to a use-after-free. On a system using this driver, a local user could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-25704

kiyin(&#x5C39;&#x4EAE;) discovered a potential memory leak in the performance events subsystem. A local user permitted to access performance events could use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion).

Debian's kernel configuration does not allow unprivileged users to access peformance events by default, which fully mitigates this issue.

CVE-2020-25705

Keyu Man reported that strict rate-limiting of ICMP packet transmission provided a side-channel that could help networked attackers to carry out packet spoofing. In particular, this made it practical for off-path networked attackers to 'poison' DNS caches with spoofed responses ('SAD DNS' attack).

This issue has been mitigated by randomising whether packets are counted against the rate limit.

CVE-2020-27673 / XSA-332

Julien Grall from Arm discovered a bug in the Xen event handling code.
Where Linux was used in a Xen dom0, unprivileged (domU) guests could cause a denial of service (excessive CPU usage or hang) in dom0.

CVE-2020-27675 / XSA-331

Jinoh Kang of Theori discovered a race condition in the Xen event handling code. Where Linux was used in a Xen dom0, unprivileged (domU) guests could cause a denial of service (crash) in dom0.

CVE-2020-28941

Shisong Qin and Bodong Zhao discovered a bug in the Speakup screen reader subsystem. Speakup assumed that it would only be bound to one terminal (tty) device at a time, but did not enforce this. A local user could exploit this bug to cause a denial of service (crash or memory exhaustion).

CVE-2020-28974

Yuan Ming discovered a bug in the virtual terminal (vt) driver that could lead to an out-of-bounds read. A local user with access to a virtual terminal, or with the CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG capability, could possibly use this to obtain sensitive information from the kernel or to cause a denial of service (crash).

The specific ioctl operation affected by this bug (KD_FONT_OP_COPY) has been disabled, as it is not believed that any programs depended on it.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 4.19.160-2~deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux-4.19 packages.

    A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Bluetooth implementation handled L2CAP (Logical Link     Control and Adaptation Protocol) packets with A2MP (Alternate MAC-PHY Manager Protocol) CID (Channel     Identifier). This flaw allows a remote attacker in an adjacent range to crash the system, causing a denial     of service or potentially executing arbitrary code on the system by sending a specially crafted L2CAP     packet. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as     system availability. (CVE-2020-12351)

    An information leak flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's Bluetooth stack implementation handled     initialization of stack memory when handling certain AMP (Alternate MAC-PHY Manager Protocol) packets.
    This flaw allows a remote attacker in an adjacent range to leak small portions of stack memory on the     system by sending specially crafted AMP packets. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality. (CVE-2020-12352)

    A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Bluetooth implementation processed     extended advertising report events. This flaw allows a remote attacker in an adjacent range to crash the     system, causing a denial of service or to potentially execute arbitrary code on the system by sending a     specially crafted Bluetooth packet. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality,     integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-24490)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A local attacker, able to inject conntrack netlink configuration,     could overflow a local buffer causing crashes or triggering the use of incorrect protocol numbers in     ctnetlink_parse_tuple_filter in net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-25211)
