The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP3 kernel was updated to 4.4.180 to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2019-11477: A sequence of SACKs may have been crafted such that one can trigger an integer overflow, leading to a kernel panic.

CVE-2019-11478: It was possible to send a crafted sequence of SACKs which will fragment the TCP retransmission queue. An attacker may have been able to further exploit the fragmented queue to cause an expensive linked-list walk for subsequent SACKs received for that same TCP connection.

CVE-2019-11479: An attacker could force the Linux kernel to segment its responses into multiple TCP segments. This would drastically increased the bandwidth required to deliver the same amount of data.
Further, it would consume additional resources such as CPU and NIC processing power.

CVE-2019-3846: A flaw that allowed an attacker to corrupt memory and possibly escalate privileges was found in the mwifiex kernel module while connecting to a malicious wireless network. (bnc#1136424)

CVE-2019-12382: An issue was discovered in drm_load_edid_firmware in drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid_load.c in the Linux kernel, there was an unchecked kstrdup of fwstr, which might have allowed an attacker to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash).
(bnc#1136586)

CVE-2019-5489: The mincore() implementation in mm/mincore.c in the Linux kernel allowed local attackers to observe page cache access patterns of other processes on the same system, potentially allowing sniffing of secret information. (Fixing this affects the output of the fincore program.) Limited remote exploitation may have been possible, as demonstrated by latency differences in accessing public files from an Apache HTTP Server. (bnc#1120843)

CVE-2019-11833: fs/ext4/extents.c in the Linux kernel did not zero out the unused memory region in the extent tree block, which might have allowed local users to obtain sensitive information by reading uninitialized data in the filesystem. (bnc#1135281)

CVE-2018-7191: In the tun subsystem in the Linux kernel, dev_get_valid_name was not called before register_netdevice. This allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and panic) via an ioctl(TUNSETIFF) call with a dev name containing a / character. (bnc#1135603)

CVE-2019-11190: The Linux kernel allowed local users to bypass ASLR on setuid programs (such as /bin/su) because install_exec_creds() was called too late in load_elf_binary() in fs/binfmt_elf.c, and thus the ptrace_may_access() check had a race condition when reading /proc/pid/stat. (bnc#1132472)

CVE-2019-11815: An issue was discovered in rds_tcp_kill_sock in net/rds/tcp.c in the Linux kernel There was a race condition leading to a use-after-free, related to net namespace cleanup. (bnc#1134537)

CVE-2019-11884: The do_hidp_sock_ioctl function in net/bluetooth/hidp/sock.c in the Linux kernel allowed a local user to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a HIDPCONNADD command, because a name field may not end with a '\0' character. (bnc#1134848)

CVE-2018-17972: An issue was discovered in the proc_pid_stack function in fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel It did not ensure that only root may inspect the kernel stack of an arbitrary task, allowing a local attacker to exploit racy stack unwinding and leak kernel task stack contents. (bnc#1110785)

CVE-2019-11486: The Siemens R3964 line discipline driver in drivers/tty/n_r3964.c in the Linux kernel had multiple race conditions. (bnc#1133188)

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

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1 kernel version 3.12.74 was updated to to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2019-11477: A sequence of SACKs may have been crafted by a remote attacker such that one can trigger an integer overflow, leading to a kernel panic. (bsc#1137586).

CVE-2019-11478: It is possible to send a crafted sequence of SACKs which will fragment the TCP retransmission queue. A remote attacker may be able to further exploit the fragmented queue to cause an expensive linked-list walk for subsequent SACKs received for that same TCP connection.

CVE-2019-11479: It was possible to send a crafted sequence of SACKs which will fragment the RACK send map. A remote attacker may be able to further exploit the fragmented send map to cause an expensive linked-list walk for subsequent SACKs received for that same TCP connection. This would have resulted in excess resource consumption due to low mss values.

CVE-2019-3846: A flaw that allowed an attacker to corrupt memory and possibly escalate privileges was found in the mwifiex kernel module while connecting to a malicious wireless network. (bnc#1136424)

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

CVE-2019-3846, CVE-2019-10126

huangwen reported multiple buffer overflows in the Marvell wifi (mwifiex) driver, which a local user could use to cause denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2019-5489

Daniel Gruss, Erik Kraft, Trishita Tiwari, Michael Schwarz, Ari Trachtenberg, Jason Hennessey, Alex Ionescu, and Anders Fogh discovered that local users could use the mincore() system call to obtain sensitive information from other processes that access the same memory-mapped file.

CVE-2019-9500, CVE-2019-9503

Hugues Anguelkov discovered a buffer overflow and missing access validation in the Broadcom FullMAC wifi driver (brcmfmac), which a attacker on the same wifi network could use to cause denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2019-11477

Jonathan Looney reported that a specially crafted sequence of TCP selective acknowledgements (SACKs) allows a remotely triggerable kernel panic.

CVE-2019-11478

Jonathan Looney reported that a specially crafted sequence of TCP selective acknowledgements (SACKs) will fragment the TCP retransmission queue, allowing an attacker to cause excessive resource usage.

CVE-2019-11479

Jonathan Looney reported that an attacker could force the Linux kernel to segment its responses into multiple TCP segments, each of which contains only 8 bytes of data, drastically increasing the bandwidth required to deliver the same amount of data.

This update introduces a new sysctl value to control the minimal MSS (net.ipv4.tcp_min_snd_mss), which by default uses the formerly hard- coded value of 48. We recommend raising this to 536 unless you know that your network requires a lower value.

CVE-2019-11486

Jann Horn of Google reported numerous race conditions in the Siemens R3964 line discipline. A local user could use these to cause unspecified security impact. This module has therefore been disabled.

CVE-2019-11599

Jann Horn of Google reported a race condition in the core dump implementation which could lead to a use-after-free. A local user could use this to read sensitive information, to cause a denial of service (memory corruption), or for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-11815

It was discovered that a use-after-free in the Reliable Datagram Sockets protocol could result in denial of service and potentially privilege escalation. This protocol module (rds) is not auto- loaded on Debian systems, so this issue only affects systems where it is explicitly loaded.

CVE-2019-11833

It was discovered that the ext4 filesystem implementation writes uninitialised data from kernel memory to new extent blocks. A local user able to write to an ext4 filesystem and then read the filesystem image, for example using a removable drive, might be able to use this to obtain sensitive information.

CVE-2019-11884

It was discovered that the Bluetooth HIDP implementation did not ensure that new connection names were null-terminated. A local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability might be able to use this to obtain sensitive information from the kernel stack.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 4.9.168-1+deb9u3~deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux-4.9 packages.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - The bnep_sock_ioctl function in     net/bluetooth/bnep/sock.c in the Linux kernel before     2.6.39 does not ensure that a certain device field ends     with a '\0' character, which allows local users to     obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel     stack memory, or cause a denial of service (BUG and     system crash), via a BNEPCONNADD command.
    (CVE-2011-1079)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/gfs2/rgrp.c in the Linux     kernel before 4.8. A use-after-free is caused by the     functions gfs2_clear_rgrpd and read_rindex_entry.
    (CVE-2016-10905)

  - An issue was discovered in     drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.13. There is potential exposure of kernel stack     memory because aac_get_hba_info does not initialize the     hbainfo structure. (CVE-2017-18550)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     4.14.11. A double free may be caused by the function     allocate_trace_buffer in the file kernel/trace/trace.c.
    (CVE-2017-18595)

  - Improper invalidation for page table updates by a     virtual guest operating system for multiple Intel(R)     Processors may allow an authenticated user to     potentially enable denial of service of the host system     via local access. (CVE-2018-12207)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.20.
    There is a race condition in smp_task_timedout() and     smp_task_done() in drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c,     leading to a use-after-free. (CVE-2018-20836)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     4.18.7. In create_qp_common in     drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/qp.c, mlx5_ib_create_qp_resp     was never initialized, resulting in a leak of stack     memory to userspace. (CVE-2018-20855)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/xfs/xfs_super.c in the     Linux kernel before 4.18. A use after free exists,     related to xfs_fs_fill_super failure. (CVE-2018-20976)

  - In the tun subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.13.14,     dev_get_valid_name is not called before     register_netdevice. This allows local users to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and panic)     via an ioctl(TUNSETIFF) call with a dev name containing     a / character. This is similar to CVE-2013-4343.
    (CVE-2018-7191)

  - Insufficient access control in subsystem for Intel (R)     processor graphics in 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th Generation     Intel(R) Core(TM) Processor Families; Intel(R)     Pentium(R) Processor J, N, Silver and Gold Series;
    Intel(R) Celeron(R) Processor J, N, G3900 and G4900     Series; Intel(R) Atom(R) Processor A and E3900 Series;
    Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor E3-1500 v5 and v6 and E-2100     Processor Families may allow an authenticated user to     potentially enable denial of service via local access.
    (CVE-2019-0154)

  - Insufficient access control in a subsystem for Intel (R)     processor graphics in 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th Generation     Intel(R) Core(TM) Processor Families; Intel(R)     Pentium(R) Processor J, N, Silver and Gold Series;
    Intel(R) Celeron(R) Processor J, N, G3900 and G4900     Series; Intel(R) Atom(R) Processor A and E3900 Series;
    Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor E3-1500 v5 and v6, E-2100 and     E-2200 Processor Families; Intel(R) Graphics Driver for     Windows before 26.20.100.6813 (DCH) or 26.20.100.6812     and before 21.20.x.5077 (aka15.45.5077), i915 Linux     Driver for Intel(R) Processor Graphics before versions     5.4-rc7, 5.3.11, 4.19.84, 4.14.154, 4.9.201, 4.4.201 may     allow an authenticated user to potentially enable     escalation of privilege via local access.
    (CVE-2019-0155)

  - TSX Asynchronous Abort condition on some CPUs utilizing     speculative execution may allow an authenticated user to     potentially enable information disclosure via a side     channel with local access. (CVE-2019-11135)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.1-rc5 allows page->_refcount     reference count overflow, with resultant use-after-free     issues, if about 140 GiB of RAM exists. This is related     to fs/fuse/dev.c, fs/pipe.c, fs/splice.c,     include/linux/mm.h, include/linux/pipe_fs_i.h,     kernel/trace/trace.c, mm/gup.c, and mm/hugetlb.c. It can     occur with FUSE requests. (CVE-2019-11487)

  - The do_hidp_sock_ioctl function in     net/bluetooth/hidp/sock.c in the Linux kernel before     5.0.15 allows a local user to obtain potentially     sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a     HIDPCONNADD command, because a name field may not end     with a '\0' character. (CVE-2019-11884)

  - ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in     drm_load_edid_firmware in     drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid_load.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.1.5. There is an unchecked kstrdup of fwstr,     which might allow an attacker to cause a denial of     service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash).
    NOTE: The vendor disputes this issues as not being a     vulnerability because kstrdup() returning NULL is     handled sufficiently and there is no chance for a NULL     pointer dereference. (CVE-2019-12382)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.2.3. There is a use-after-free caused by a malicious     USB device in the drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-     init.c driver. (CVE-2019-15213)

  - An issue was discovered in xfs_setattr_nonsize in     fs/xfs/xfs_iops.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.9. XFS     partially wedges when a chgrp fails on account of being     out of disk quota. xfs_setattr_nonsize is failing to     unlock the ILOCK after the xfs_qm_vop_chown_reserve call     fails. This is primarily a local DoS attack vector, but     it might result as well in remote DoS if the XFS     filesystem is exported for instance via NFS.
    (CVE-2019-15538)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.1.13, there is a memory     leak in drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c when SAS     expander discovery fails. This will cause a BUG and     denial of service. (CVE-2019-15807)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.0.1. There is a memory leak in     register_queue_kobjects() in net/core/net-sysfs.c, which     will cause denial of service. (CVE-2019-15916)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.0.4. The 9p filesystem did not protect i_size_write()     properly, which causes an i_size_read() infinite loop     and denial of service on SMP systems. (CVE-2019-16413)

  - An issue was discovered in write_tpt_entry in     drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/mem.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.3.2. The cxgb4 driver is directly calling     dma_map_single (a DMA function) from a stack variable.
    This could allow an attacker to trigger a Denial of     Service, exploitable if this driver is used on an     architecture for which this stack/DMA interaction has     security relevance. (CVE-2019-17075)

  - The SCTP socket buffer used by a userspace application     is not accounted by the cgroups subsystem. An attacker     can use this flaw to cause a denial of service attack.
    Kernel 3.10.x and 4.18.x branches are believed to be     vulnerable. (CVE-2019-3874)

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

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP1 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2019-12819: The function __mdiobus_register() called put_device(), which triggered a fixed_mdio_bus_init use-after-free. This would cause a denial of service. (bsc#1138291)

CVE-2019-12818: The nfc_llcp_build_tlv function in net/nfc/llcp_commands.c may return NULL. If the caller does not check for this, it will trigger a NULL pointer dereference. This will cause denial of service. This used to affect nfc_llcp_build_gb in net/nfc/llcp_core.c. (bsc#1138293)

CVE-2019-11811: An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel There was a use-after-free upon attempted read access to /proc/ioports after the ipmi_si module was removed, related to drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c, drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_mem_io.c, and drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_port_io.c. (bsc#1134397)

CVE-2019-11486: The Siemens R3964 line discipline driver in drivers/tty/n_r3964.c in the Linux kernel has multiple race conditions. (bsc#1133188)

CVE-2019-9003: In the Linux kernel, attackers could trigger a drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c use-after-free and OOPS by arranging for certain simultaneous execution of the code, as demonstrated by a 'service ipmievd restart' loop. (bsc#1126704)

CVE-2018-16880: A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handle_rx() function in the [vhost_net] driver. A malicious virtual guest, under specific conditions, could trigger an out-of-bounds write in a kmalloc-8 slab on a virtual host which may have lead to a kernel memory corruption and a system panic. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out.(bsc#1122767)

CVE-2019-9503: An issue was discoved which meant that brcmfmac frame validation could be bypassed. (bsc#1132828)

CVE-2019-9500: An issue was discovered that lead to brcmfmac heap buffer overflow. (bsc#1132681)

CVE-2019-8564: An issue was discoved which meant that brcmfmac frame validation could be bypassed. (bsc#1132673)

CVE-2017-5753: Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and branch prediction may have allowed unauthorized disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a side-channel analysis.

CVE-2019-3882: A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's vfio interface implementation that permitted violation of the user's locked memory limit. If a device was bound to a vfio driver, such as vfio-pci, and the local attacker is administratively granted ownership of the device, it may have caused a system memory exhaustion and thus a denial of service (DoS). (bsc#1131427)

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

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-5.15.3 advisory.

  - In ImageMagick 7.0.8-43 Q16, there is a heap-based buffer overflow in the function WriteSGIImage of     coders/sgi.c. (CVE-2019-19948)

  - The Broadcom brcmfmac WiFi driver prior to commit a4176ec356c73a46c07c181c6d04039fafa34a9f is vulnerable     to a frame validation bypass. If the brcmfmac driver receives a firmware event frame from a remote source,     the is_wlc_event_frame function will cause this frame to be discarded and unprocessed. If the driver     receives the firmware event frame from the host, the appropriate handler is called. This frame validation     can be bypassed if the bus used is USB (for instance by a wifi dongle). This can allow firmware event     frames from a remote source to be processed. In the worst case scenario, by sending specially-crafted WiFi     packets, a remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.
    More typically, this vulnerability will result in denial-of-service conditions. (CVE-2019-9503)

  - An issue was discovered in Rsyslog v8.1908.0. contrib/pmaixforwardedfrom/pmaixforwardedfrom.c has a heap     overflow in the parser for AIX log messages. The parser tries to locate a log message delimiter (in this     case, a space or a colon) but fails to account for strings that do not satisfy this constraint. If the     string does not match, then the variable lenMsg will reach the value zero and will skip the sanity check     that detects invalid log messages. The message will then be considered valid, and the parser will eat up     the nonexistent colon delimiter. In doing so, it will decrement lenMsg, a signed integer, whose value was     zero and now becomes minus one. The following step in the parser is to shift left the contents of the     message. To do this, it will call memmove with the right pointers to the target and destination strings,     but the lenMsg will now be interpreted as a huge value, causing a heap overflow. (CVE-2019-17041)

  - An issue was discovered in Rsyslog v8.1908.0. contrib/pmcisconames/pmcisconames.c has a heap overflow in     the parser for Cisco log messages. The parser tries to locate a log message delimiter (in this case, a     space or a colon), but fails to account for strings that do not satisfy this constraint. If the string     does not match, then the variable lenMsg will reach the value zero and will skip the sanity check that     detects invalid log messages. The message will then be considered valid, and the parser will eat up the     nonexistent colon delimiter. In doing so, it will decrement lenMsg, a signed integer, whose value was zero     and now becomes minus one. The following step in the parser is to shift left the contents of the message.
    To do this, it will call memmove with the right pointers to the target and destination strings, but the     lenMsg will now be interpreted as a huge value, causing a heap overflow. (CVE-2019-17042)

  - An issue was discovered in dbus >= 1.3.0 before 1.12.18. The DBusServer in libdbus, as used in dbus-     daemon, leaks file descriptors when a message exceeds the per-message file descriptor limit. A local     attacker with access to the D-Bus system bus or another system service's private AF_UNIX socket could use     this to make the system service reach its file descriptor limit, denying service to subsequent D-Bus     clients. (CVE-2020-12049)

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