An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

[Updated 16th August 2018] The original errata text was missing reference to CVE-2018-5390 fix. We have updated the errata text to correct this issue. No changes have been made to the packages.

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

Security Fix(es) :

* Modern operating systems implement virtualization of physical memory to efficiently use available system resources and provide inter-domain protection through access control and isolation. The L1TF issue was found in the way the x86 microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of instructions (a commonly used performance optimisation) in combination with handling of page-faults caused by terminated virtual to physical address resolving process. As a result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to read privileged memory of the kernel or other processes and/or cross guest/host boundaries to read host memory by conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks.
(CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646)

* An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of instructions past bounds check. The flaw relies on the presence of a precisely-defined instruction sequence in the privileged code and the fact that memory writes occur to an address which depends on the untrusted value. Such writes cause an update into the microprocessor's data cache even for speculatively executed instructions that never actually commit (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to influence speculative execution and/or read privileged memory by conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks.
(CVE-2018-3693)

* A flaw named SegmentSmack was found in the way the Linux kernel handled specially crafted TCP packets. A remote attacker could use this flaw to trigger time and calculation expensive calls to tcp_collapse_ofo_queue() and tcp_prune_ofo_queue() functions by sending specially modified packets within ongoing TCP sessions which could lead to a CPU saturation and hence a denial of service on the system. Maintaining the denial of service condition requires continuous two-way TCP sessions to a reachable open port, thus the attacks cannot be performed using spoofed IP addresses.
(CVE-2018-5390)

* kernel: kvm: vmx: host GDT limit corruption (CVE-2018-10901)

* kernel: Use-after-free in snd_pcm_info function in ALSA subsystem potentially leads to privilege escalation (CVE-2017-0861)

* kernel: Use-after-free in snd_seq_ioctl_create_port() (CVE-2017-15265)

* kernel: race condition in snd_seq_write() may lead to UAF or OOB-access (CVE-2018-7566)

* kernel: Race condition in sound system can lead to denial of service (CVE-2018-1000004)

Bug Fix(es) :

* The Least recently used (LRU) operations are batched by caching pages in per-cpu page vectors to prevent contention of the heavily used lru_lock spinlock. The page vectors can hold even the compound pages. Previously, the page vectors were cleared only if they were full. Subsequently, the amount of memory held in page vectors, which is not reclaimable, was sometimes too high. Consequently the page reclamation started the Out of Memory (OOM) killing processes. With this update, the underlying source code has been fixed to clear LRU page vectors each time when a compound page is added to them. As a result, OOM killing processes due to high amounts of memory held in page vectors no longer occur. (BZ#1575819)

The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K07721343 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in Linux kernel's KVM virtualization subsystem. The VMX code does not restore the     GDT.LIMIT to the previous host value, but instead sets it to 64KB. With a corrupted GDT limit a host's     userspace code has an ability to place malicious entries in the GDT, particularly to the per-cpu     variables. An attacker can use this to escalate their privileges. (CVE-2018-10901)

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

Race condition in the store_int_with_restart() function in cpu/mcheck/mce.c :

A race condition in the store_int_with_restart() function in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c in the Linux kernel allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) by leveraging root access to write to the check_interval file in a /sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheck<cpu number> directory.
(CVE-2018-7995)

Out-of-bounds write via userland offsets in ebt_entry struct in netfilter/ebtables.c :

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of 32-bit syscall interface for bridging. This allowed a privileged user to arbitrarily write to a limited range of kernel memory. (CVE-2018-1068)

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's skcipher component, which affects the skcipher_recvmsg function. Attackers using a specific input can lead to a privilege escalation.(CVE-2017-13215)

The do_get_mempolicy() function in mm/mempolicy.c in the Linux kernel allows local users to hit a use-after-free bug via crafted system calls and thus cause a denial of service (DoS) or possibly have unspecified other impact. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out.(CVE-2018-10675)

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

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2018:2393 advisory.

    The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

    Security Fix(es):

    * Modern operating systems implement virtualization of physical memory to efficiently use available system     resources and provide inter-domain protection through access control and isolation. The L1TF issue was     found in the way the x86 microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of instructions (a     commonly used performance optimisation) in combination with handling of page-faults caused by terminated     virtual to physical address resolving process. As a result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw     to read privileged memory of the kernel or other processes and/or cross guest/host boundaries to read host     memory by conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks. (CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646)

    * kernel: kvm: vmx: host GDT limit corruption (CVE-2018-10901)
