[debian-lts-announce] 20210309 [SECURITY] [DLA 2586-1] linux security update

https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20210521-0008/

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

CVE-2019-19318, CVE-2019-19813, CVE-2019-19816

'Team bobfuzzer' reported bugs in Btrfs that could lead to a use-after-free or heap buffer overflow, and could be triggered by crafted filesystem images. A user permitted to mount and access arbitrary filesystems could use these to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-27815

A flaw was reported in the JFS filesystem code allowing a local attacker with the ability to set extended attributes to cause a denial of service.

CVE-2020-27825

Adam 'pi3' Zabrocki reported a use-after-free flaw in the ftrace ring buffer resizing logic due to a race condition, which could result in denial of service or information leak.

CVE-2020-28374

David Disseldorp discovered that the LIO SCSI target implementation performed insufficient checking in certain XCOPY requests. An attacker with access to a LUN and knowledge of Unit Serial Number assignments can take advantage of this flaw to read and write to any LIO backstore, regardless of the SCSI transport settings.

CVE-2020-29568 (XSA-349)

Michael Kurth and Pawel Wieczorkiewicz reported that frontends can trigger OOM in backends by updating a watched path.

CVE-2020-29569 (XSA-350)

Olivier Benjamin and Pawel Wieczorkiewicz reported a use-after-free flaw which can be triggered by a block frontend in Linux blkback. A misbehaving guest can trigger a dom0 crash by continuously connecting / disconnecting a block frontend.

CVE-2020-29660

Jann Horn reported a locking inconsistency issue in the tty subsystem which may allow a local attacker to mount a read-after-free attack against TIOCGSID.

CVE-2020-29661

Jann Horn reported a locking issue in the tty subsystem which can result in a use-after-free. A local attacker can take advantage of this flaw for memory corruption or privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-36158

A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the mwifiex WiFi driver which could result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code via a long SSID value.

CVE-2021-3178

&#x5434;&#x5F02; reported an information leak in the NFSv3 server.
When only a subdirectory of a filesystem volume is exported, an NFS client listing the exported directory would obtain a file handle to the parent directory, allowing it to access files that were not meant to be exported.

Even after this update, it is still possible for NFSv3 clients to guess valid file handles and access files outside an exported subdirectory, unless the 'subtree_check' export option is enabled. It is recommended that you do not use that option but only export whole filesystem volumes.

CVE-2021-3347

It was discovered that PI futexes have a kernel stack use-after-free during fault handling. An unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the kernel (resulting in denial of service) or for privilege escalation.

CVE-2021-26930 (XSA-365)

Olivier Benjamin, Norbert Manthey, Martin Mazein, and Jan H.
Sch&ouml;nherr discovered that the Xen block backend driver (xen-blkback) did not handle grant mapping errors correctly. A malicious guest could exploit this bug to cause a denial of service (crash), or possibly an information leak or privilege escalation, within the domain running the backend, which is typically dom0.

CVE-2021-26931 (XSA-362), CVE-2021-26932 (XSA-361), CVE-2021-28038 (XSA-367)

Jan Beulich discovered that the Xen support code and various Xen backend drivers did not handle grant mapping errors correctly. A malicious guest could exploit these bugs to cause a denial of service (crash) within the domain running the backend, which is typically dom0.

CVE-2021-27363

Adam Nichols reported that the iSCSI initiator subsystem did not properly restrict access to transport handle attributes in sysfs. On a system acting as an iSCSI initiator, this is an information leak to local users and makes it easier to exploit CVE-2021-27364.

CVE-2021-27364

Adam Nichols reported that the iSCSI initiator subsystem did not properly restrict access to its netlink management interface. On a system acting as an iSCSI initiator, a local user could use these to cause a denial of service (disconnection of storage) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2021-27365

Adam Nichols reported that the iSCSI initiator subsystem did not correctly limit the lengths of parameters or 'passthrough PDUs' sent through its netlink management interface. On a system acting as an iSCSI initiator, a local user could use these to leak the contents of kernel memory, to cause a denial of service (kernel memory corruption or crash), and probably for privilege escalation.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 4.9.258-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.219-161.340. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2021-1600 advisory.

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c in Linux kernel (before 5.10-rc1). There was     a race problem in trace_open and resize of cpu buffer running parallely on different cpus, may cause a     denial of service problem (DOS). This flaw could even allow a local attacker with special user privilege     to a kernel information leak threat. (CVE-2020-27825)

  - In drivers/target/target_core_xcopy.c in the Linux kernel before 5.10.7, insufficient identifier checking     in the LIO SCSI target code can be used by remote attackers to read or write files via directory traversal     in an XCOPY request, aka CID-2896c93811e3. For example, an attack can occur over a network if the attacker     has access to one iSCSI LUN. The attacker gains control over file access because I/O operations are     proxied via an attacker-selected backstore. (CVE-2020-28374)

  - ** DISPUTED ** fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c in the Linux kernel through 5.10.8, when there is an NFS export of a     subdirectory of a filesystem, allows remote attackers to traverse to other parts of the filesystem via     READDIRPLUS. NOTE: some parties argue that such a subdirectory export is not intended to prevent this     attack; see also the exports(5) no_subtree_check default behavior. (CVE-2021-3178)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.10.11. PI futexes have a kernel stack use-after-free     during fault handling, allowing local users to execute code in the kernel, aka CID-34b1a1ce1458.
    (CVE-2021-3347)

  - nbd_add_socket in drivers/block/nbd.c in the Linux kernel through 5.10.12 has an ndb_queue_rq use-after-     free that could be triggered by local attackers (with access to the nbd device) via an I/O request at a     certain point during device setup, aka CID-b98e762e3d71. (CVE-2021-3348)

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

This update syncs the RT kernel from the SUSE Linux Enterprise 15-SP2 codestream. This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15-SP2:Update update project.

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

  - CVE-2020-27815     A flaw was reported in the JFS filesystem code allowing     a local attacker with the ability to set extended     attributes to cause a denial of service.

  - CVE-2020-27825     Adam 'pi3' Zabrocki reported a use-after-free flaw in     the ftrace ring buffer resizing logic due to a race     condition, which could result in denial of service or     information leak.

  - CVE-2020-27830     Shisong Qin reported a NULL pointer dereference flaw in     the Speakup screen reader core driver.

  - CVE-2020-28374     David Disseldorp discovered that the LIO SCSI target     implementation performed insufficient checking in     certain XCOPY requests. An attacker with access to a LUN     and knowledge of Unit Serial Number assignments can take     advantage of this flaw to read and write to any LIO     backstore, regardless of the SCSI transport settings.

  - CVE-2020-29568 (XSA-349)     Michael Kurth and Pawel Wieczorkiewicz reported that     frontends can trigger OOM in backends by updating a     watched path.

  - CVE-2020-29569 (XSA-350)     Olivier Benjamin and Pawel Wieczorkiewicz reported a     use-after-free flaw which can be triggered by a block     frontend in Linux blkback. A misbehaving guest can     trigger a dom0 crash by continuously connecting /     disconnecting a block frontend.

  - CVE-2020-29660     Jann Horn reported a locking inconsistency issue in the     tty subsystem which may allow a local attacker to mount     a read-after-free attack against TIOCGSID.

  - CVE-2020-29661     Jann Horn reported a locking issue in the tty subsystem     which can result in a use-after-free. A local attacker     can take advantage of this flaw for memory corruption or     privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2020-36158     A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the mwifiex     WiFi driver which could result in denial of service or     the execution of arbitrary code via a long SSID value.

  - CVE-2021-3347     It was discovered that PI futexes have a kernel stack     use-after-free during fault handling. An unprivileged     user could use this flaw to crash the kernel (resulting     in denial of service) or for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2021-20177     A flaw was discovered in the Linux implementation of     string matching within a packet. A privileged user (with     root or CAP_NET_ADMIN) can take advantage of this flaw     to cause a kernel panic when inserting iptables rules.
