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

CVE-2016-10208

Sergej Schumilo and Ralf Spenneberg discovered that a crafted ext4 filesystem could trigger memory corruption when it is mounted. A user that can provide a device or filesystem image to be mounted could use this for denial of service (crash or data corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2017-8824

Mohamed Ghannam discovered that the DCCP implementation did not correctly manage resources when a socket is disconnected and reconnected, potentially leading to a use-after-free. A local user could use this for denial of service (crash or data corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation. On systems that do not already have the dccp module loaded, this can be mitigated by disabling it: echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-dccp.conf install dccp false

CVE-2017-8831

Pengfei Wang discovered that the saa7164 video capture driver re-reads data from a PCI device after validating it. A physically present user able to attach a specially designed PCI device could use this for privilege escalation.

CVE-2017-12190

Vitaly Mayatskikh discovered that the block layer did not correctly count page references for raw I/O from user-space. This can be exploited by a guest VM with access to a host SCSI device for denial of service (memory exhaustion) or potentially for privilege escalation.

CVE-2017-13080

A vulnerability was found in the WPA2 protocol that could lead to reinstallation of the same Group Temporal Key (GTK), which substantially reduces the security of wifi encryption. This is one of the issues collectively known as 'KRACK'.

Updates to GTKs are usually handled by the wpa package, where this issue was already fixed (DLA-1150-1). However, some wifi devices can remain active and update GTKs autonomously while the system is suspended. The kernel must also check for and ignore key reinstallation.

CVE-2017-14051

'shqking' reported that the qla2xxx SCSI host driver did not correctly validate I/O to the 'optrom' sysfs attribute of the devices it creates. This is unlikely to have any security impact.

CVE-2017-15115

Vladis Dronov reported that the SCTP implementation did not correctly handle 'peel-off' of an association to another net namespace. This leads to a use-after-free, which a local user can exploit for denial of service (crash or data corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation. On systems that do not already have the sctp module loaded, this can be mitigated by disabling it: echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-sctp.conf install sctp false

CVE-2017-15265

Michael23 Yu reported a race condition in the ALSA sequencer subsystem involving creation and deletion of ports, which could lead to a use-after-free. A local user with access to an ALSA sequencer device can use this for denial of service (crash or data loss) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2017-15299

Eric Biggers discovered that the KEYS subsystem did not correctly handle update of an uninstantiated key, leading to a null dereference.
A local user can use this for denial of service (crash).

CVE-2017-15649

'nixioaming' reported a race condition in the packet socket (AF_PACKET) implementation involving rebinding to a fanout group, which could lead to a use-after-free. A local user with the CAP_NET_RAW capability can use this for denial of service (crash or data corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2017-15868

Al Viro found that the Bluebooth Network Encapsulation Protocol (BNEP) implementation did not validate the type of the second socket passed to the BNEPCONNADD ioctl(), which could lead to memory corruption. A local user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability can use this for denial of service (crash or data corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2017-16525

Andrey Konovalov reported that the USB serial console implementation did not correctly handle disconnection of unusual serial devices, leading to a use-after-free. A similar issue was found in the case where setup of a serial console fails. A physically present user with a specially designed USB device can use this to cause a denial of service (crash or data corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2017-16527

Andrey Konovalov reported that the USB sound mixer driver did not correctly cancel I/O in case it failed to probe a device, which could lead to a use-after-free. A physically present user with a specially designed USB device can use this to cause a denial of service (crash or data corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2017-16529

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

  - A vulnerability was found in the key management     subsystem of the Linux kernel. An update on an     uninstantiated key could cause a kernel panic, leading     to denial of service (DoS).(CVE-2017-15299)

  - It was found that fanout_add() in     'net/packet/af_packet.c' in the Linux kernel, before     version 4.13.6, allows local users to gain privileges     via crafted system calls that trigger mishandling of     packet_fanout data structures, because of a race     condition (involving fanout_add and packet_do_bind)     that leads to a use-after-free bug.(CVE-2017-15649)

  - The keyctl_read_key function in security/keys/keyctl.c     in the Key Management subcomponent in the Linux kernel     before 4.13.5 does not properly consider that a key may     be possessed but negatively instantiated, which allows     local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS and     system crash) via a crafted KEYCTL_READ     operation.(CVE-2017-12192)

  - The Linux kernel built with the KVM visualization     support (CONFIG_KVM), with nested visualization(nVMX)     feature enabled (nested=1), was vulnerable to a stack     buffer overflow issue. The vulnerability could occur     while traversing guest page table entries to resolve     guest virtual address(gva). An L1 guest could use this     flaw to crash the host kernel resulting in denial of     service (DoS) or potentially execute arbitrary code on     the host to gain privileges on the     system.(CVE-2017-12188)
