The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3740-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that memory present in the L1 data cache of an Intel CPU core may be exposed to a     malicious process that is executing on the CPU core. This vulnerability is also known as L1 Terminal Fault     (L1TF). A local attacker in a guest virtual machine could use this to expose sensitive information (memory     from other guests or the host OS). (CVE-2018-3646)

    It was discovered that memory present in the L1 data cache of an Intel CPU core may be exposed to a     malicious process that is executing on the CPU core. This vulnerability is also known as L1 Terminal Fault     (L1TF). A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (memory from the kernel or other     processes). (CVE-2018-3620)

    Juha-Matti Tilli discovered that the IP implementation in the Linux kernel performed algorithmically     expensive operations in some situations when handling incoming packet fragments. A remote attacker could     use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-5391)

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.

An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 Advanced Update Support.

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.

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

Security Fix(es) :

* 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)

* A flaw named FragmentSmack was found in the way the Linux kernel handled reassembly of fragmented IPv4 and IPv6 packets. A remote attacker could use this flaw to trigger time and calculation expensive fragment reassembly algorithm by sending specially crafted packets which could lead to a CPU saturation and hence a denial of service on the system. (CVE-2018-5391)

* kernel: mm: use-after-free in do_get_mempolicy function allows local DoS or other unspecified impact (CVE-2018-10675)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Red Hat would like to thank Juha-Matti Tilli (Aalto University - Department of Communications and Networking and Nokia Bell Labs) for reporting CVE-2018-5390 and CVE-2018-5391.

Bug Fix(es) :

* After updating the system to prevent the L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF) vulnerability, only one thread was detected on systems that offer processing of two threads on a single processor core. With this update, the '__max_smt_threads()' function has been fixed. As a result, both threads are now detected correctly in the described situation. (BZ#1625330)

This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.74-60_64_104 fixes several issues.

The following security issues were fixed :

CVE-2019-9213: Expand_downwards in mm/mmap.c lacked a check for the mmap minimum address, which made it easier for attackers to exploit kernel NULL pointer dereferences on non-SMAP platforms. This is related to a capability check for the wrong task (bsc#1128378).

CVE-2019-7221: Fixed a user-after-free vulnerability in the KVM hypervisor related to the emulation of a preemption timer, allowing an guest user/process to crash the host kernel. (bsc#1124734).

CVE-2019-6974: kvm_ioctl_create_device in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c mishandled reference counting because of a race condition, leading to a use-after-free (bsc#1124729).

CVE-2018-5391: The Linux kernel was vulnerable to a denial of service attack with low rates of specially modified packets targeting IP fragment re-assembly. An attacker might have caused a denial of service condition by sending specially crafted IP fragments. Various vulnerabilities in IP fragmentation have been discovered and fixed over the years. The current vulnerability (CVE-2018-5391) became exploitable in the Linux kernel with the increase of the IP fragment reassembly queue size (bsc#1103098).

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 SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1 LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

Four new speculative execution information leak issues have been identified in Intel CPUs. (bsc#1111331)

CVE-2018-12126: Microarchitectural Store Buffer Data Sampling (MSBDS)

CVE-2018-12127: Microarchitectural Fill Buffer Data Sampling (MFBDS)

CVE-2018-12130: Microarchitectural Load Port Data Samling (MLPDS)

CVE-2019-11091: Microarchitectural Data Sampling Uncacheable Memory (MDSUM)

This kernel update contains software mitigations for these issues, which also utilize CPU microcode updates shipped in parallel.

For more information on this set of information leaks, check out https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=7023736

The following security bugs were fixed: CVE-2016-10741:
fs/xfs/xfs_aops.c allowed local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) because there is a race condition between direct and memory-mapped I/O (associated with a hole) that is handled with BUG_ON instead of an I/O failure (bnc#1114920 bnc#1124010).

CVE-2017-1000407: By flooding the diagnostic port 0x80 an exception can be triggered leading to a kernel panic (bnc#1071021).

CVE-2017-16533: The usbhid_parse function in drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c allowed local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device (bnc#1066674).

CVE-2017-7273: The cp_report_fixup function in drivers/hid/hid-cypress.c allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (integer underflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted HID report (bnc#1031240).

CVE-2017-7472: The KEYS subsystem allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a series of KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_THREAD_KEYRING keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring calls (bnc#1034862).

CVE-2018-14633: A security flaw was found in the chap_server_compute_md5() function in the ISCSI target code in the Linux kernel in a way an authentication request from an ISCSI initiator is processed. An unauthenticated remote attacker can cause a stack buffer overflow and smash up to 17 bytes of the stack. The attack requires the iSCSI target to be enabled on the victim host.
Depending on how the target's code was built (i.e. depending on a compiler, compile flags and hardware architecture) an attack may lead to a system crash and thus to a denial-of-service or possibly to a non-authorized access to data exported by an iSCSI target.
(bnc#1107829).

CVE-2018-15572: The spectre_v2_select_mitigation function in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c did not always fill RSB upon a context switch, which made it easier for attackers to conduct userspace-userspace spectreRSB attacks (bnc#1102517 bnc#1105296).

CVE-2018-16884: NFS41+ shares mounted in different network namespaces at the same time can make bc_svc_process() use wrong back-channel IDs and cause a use-after-free vulnerability. Thus a malicious container user can cause a host kernel memory corruption and a system panic. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out (bnc#1119946).

CVE-2018-18281: The mremap() syscall performed TLB flushes after dropping pagetable locks. If a syscall such as ftruncate() removes entries from the pagetables of a task that is in the middle of mremap(), a stale TLB entry can remain for a short time that permits access to a physical page after it has been released back to the page allocator and reused. (bnc#1113769).

CVE-2018-18386: drivers/tty/n_tty.c allowed local attackers (who are able to access pseudo terminals) to hang/block further usage of any pseudo terminal devices due to an EXTPROC versus ICANON confusion in TIOCINQ (bnc#1094825).

CVE-2018-18690: A local attacker able to set attributes on an xfs filesystem could make this filesystem non-operational until the next mount by triggering an unchecked error condition during an xfs attribute change, because xfs_attr_shortform_addname in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr.c mishandled ATTR_REPLACE operations with conversion of an attr from short to long form (bnc#1105025).

CVE-2018-18710: An information leak in cdrom_ioctl_select_disc in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c could be used by local attackers to read kernel memory because a cast from unsigned long to int interferes with bounds checking. This is similar to CVE-2018-10940 and CVE-2018-16658 (bnc#1113751).

CVE-2018-19407: The vcpu_scan_ioapic function in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and BUG) via crafted system calls that reach a situation where ioapic is uninitialized (bnc#1116841).

CVE-2018-19824: A local user could exploit a use-after-free in the ALSA driver by supplying a malicious USB Sound device (with zero interfaces) that is mishandled in usb_audio_probe in sound/usb/card.c (bnc#1118152).

CVE-2018-19985: The function hso_get_config_data in drivers/net/usb/hso.c read if_num from the USB device (as a u8) and uses it to index a small array, resulting in an object out-of-bounds (OOB) read that potentially allowed arbitrary read in the kernel address space (bnc#1120743).

CVE-2018-20169: The USB subsystem mishandled size checks during the reading of an extra descriptor, related to __usb_get_extra_descriptor in drivers/usb/core/usb.c (bnc#1119714).

CVE-2018-5391: The Linux kernel was vulnerable to a denial of service attack with low rates of specially modified packets targeting IP fragment re-assembly. An attacker may cause a denial of service condition by sending specially crafted IP fragments. Various vulnerabilities in IP fragmentation have been discovered and fixed over the years. The current vulnerability (CVE-2018-5391) became exploitable in the Linux kernel with the increase of the IP fragment reassembly queue size (bnc#1103097).

CVE-2018-9516: In hid_debug_events_read of drivers/hid/hid-debug.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check.
This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
(bnc#1108498).

CVE-2018-9568: In sk_clone_lock of sock.c, there is a possible memory corruption due to type confusion. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. (bnc#1118319).

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

CVE-2019-3459: A heap address information leak while using L2CAP_GET_CONF_OPT was discovered (bnc#1120758).

CVE-2019-3460: A heap data infoleak in multiple locations including L2CAP_PARSE_CONF_RSP was found (bnc#1120758).

CVE-2019-3882: A flaw was found vfio interface implementation that permitted violation of the user's locked memory limit. If a device is bound to a vfio driver, such as vfio-pci, and the local attacker is administratively granted ownership of the device, it may cause a system memory exhaustion and thus a denial of service (DoS).
(bnc#1131416 bnc#1131427).

CVE-2019-6974: kvm_ioctl_create_device in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c mishandled reference counting because of a race condition, leading to a use-after-free (bnc#1124728).

CVE-2019-7221: The KVM implementation had a Use-after-Free (bnc#1124732).

CVE-2019-7222: The KVM implementation had an Information Leak (bnc#1124735).

CVE-2019-9213: expand_downwards in mm/mmap.c lacked a check for the mmap minimum address, which made it easier for attackers to exploit kernel NULL pointer dereferences on non-SMAP platforms. This is related to a capability check for the wrong task (bnc#1128166).

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2018-3620: Local attackers on baremetal systems could use speculative code patterns on hyperthreaded processors to read data present in the L1 Datacache used by other hyperthreads on the same CPU core, potentially leaking sensitive data. (bnc#1087081).

CVE-2018-3646: Local attackers in virtualized guest systems could use speculative code patterns on hyperthreaded processors to read data present in the L1 Datacache used by other hyperthreads on the same CPU core, potentially leaking sensitive data, even from other virtual machines or the host system. (bnc#1089343).

CVE-2018-5390 aka 'SegmentSmack': The Linux Kernel can be forced to make very expensive calls to tcp_collapse_ofo_queue() and tcp_prune_ofo_queue() for every incoming packet which can lead to a denial of service (bnc#1102340).

CVE-2018-5391 aka 'FragmentSmack': A flaw in the IP packet reassembly could be used by remote attackers to consume lots of CPU time (bnc#1103097).

CVE-2018-14734: drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c allowed ucma_leave_multicast to access a certain data structure after a cleanup step in ucma_process_join, which allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) (bnc#1103119).

CVE-2017-18344: The timer_create syscall implementation in kernel/time/posix-timers.c didn't properly validate the sigevent->sigev_notify field, which leads to out-of-bounds access in the show_timer function (called when /proc/$PID/timers is read). This allowed userspace applications to read arbitrary kernel memory (on a kernel built with CONFIG_POSIX_TIMERS and CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE) (bnc#1102851 bnc#1103580).

CVE-2018-9385: When printing the 'driver_override' option from with-in the amba driver, a very long line could expose one additional uninitialized byte (bnc#1100491).

CVE-2018-13053: The alarm_timer_nsleep function in kernel/time/alarmtimer.c had an integer overflow via a large relative timeout because ktime_add_safe is not used (bnc#1099924).

CVE-2018-13405: The inode_init_owner function in fs/inode.c allowed local users to create files with an unintended group ownership, in a scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group and is writable by a user who is not a member of that group. Here, the non-member can trigger creation of a plain file whose group ownership is that group.
The intended behavior was that the non-member can trigger creation of a directory (but not a plain file) whose group ownership is that group. The non-member can escalate privileges by making the plain file executable and SGID (bnc#1100416).

CVE-2018-13406: An integer overflow in the uvesafb_setcmap function in drivers/video/fbdev/uvesafb.c could result in local attackers being able to crash the kernel or potentially elevate privileges because kmalloc_array is not used (bnc#1098016 1100418).

CVE-2018-5814: Multiple race condition errors when handling probe, disconnect, and rebind operations could be exploited to trigger a use-after-free condition or a NULL pointer dereference by sending multiple USB over IP packets (bnc#1096480).

An attacker with     physical access to the system could use either of these     flaws to write data past an allocated memory     buffer.(CVE-2014-3184)The __get_data_block function in     fs/f2fs/data.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11 allows     local users to cause a denial of service (integer     overflow and loop) via crafted use of the open and     fallocate system calls with an FS_IOC_FIEMAP     ioctl.(CVE-2017-18257)netetfilter/xt_osf.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.14.4 does not require the     CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for add_callback and     remove_callback operations. This allows local users to     bypass intended access restrictions because the     xt_osf_fingers data structure is shared across all     network namespaces.(CVE-2017-17450)A denial of service     flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel, where a race     condition caused a NULL pointer dereference in the RDS     socket-creation code. A local attacker could use this     flaw to create a situation in which a NULL pointer     crashed the kernel.(CVE-2015-7990)An issue was     discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.19.9. The USB     subsystem mishandles size checks during the reading of     an extra descriptor, related to
    __usb_get_extra_descriptor in     drivers/usb/core/usb.c.(CVE-2018-20169)mm/memory.c in     the Linux kernel before 4.1.4 mishandles anonymous     pages, which allows local users to gain privileges or     cause a denial of service (page tainting) via a crafted     application that triggers writing to page     zero.(CVE-2015-3288)The ovl_setattr function in     fs/overlayfs/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 4.3.3     attempts to merge distinct setattr operations, which     allows local users to bypass intended access     restrictions and modify the attributes of arbitrary     overlay files via a crafted     application.(CVE-2015-8660)A flaw was found in the     Linux kernel where a local user with a shell account     can abuse the userfaultfd syscall when using hugetlbfs.
    A missing size check in hugetlb_mcopy_atomic_pte could     create an invalid inode variable, leading to a kernel     panic.(CVE-2017-15128)An integer overflow flaw was     found in the way the lzo1x_decompress_safe() function     of the Linux kernel's LZO implementation processed     Literal Runs. A local attacker could, in extremely rare     cases, use this flaw to crash the system or,     potentially, escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2014-4608)It was found that Linux kernel's     ptrace subsystem did not properly sanitize the     address-space-control bits when the program-status word     (PSW) was being set. On IBM S/390 systems, a local,     unprivileged user could use this flaw to set     address-space-control bits to the kernel space, and     thus gain read and write access to kernel     memory.(CVE-2014-3534)A use-after-free flaw was found     in the Linux kernel's file system encryption     implementation. A local user could revoke keyring keys     being used for ext4, f2fs, or ubifs encryption, causing     a denial of service on the system.(CVE-2017-7374)The     usbip_recv_xbuff function in     drivers/usb/usbip/usbip_common.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.5.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (out-of-bounds write) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted length value in     a USB/IP packet.(CVE-2016-3955)A flaw was found in the     patches used to fix the 'dirtycow' vulnerability     (CVE-2016-5195). An attacker, able to run local code,     can exploit a race condition in transparent huge pages     to modify usually read-only huge     pages.(CVE-2017-1000405)The aio_mount function in     fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel does not properly restrict     execute access, which makes it easier for local users     to bypass intended SELinux W^X policy     restrictions.(CVE-2016-10044)The Serial Attached SCSI     (SAS) implementation in the Linux kernel mishandles a     mutex within libsas. This allows local users to cause a     denial of service (deadlock) by triggering certain     error-handling code.(CVE-2017-18232)A use-after-free     vulnerability was found in tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue     and other tcp_* functions. This condition could allow     an attacker to send an incorrect selective     acknowledgment to existing connections, possibly     resetting a connection.(CVE-2016-6828)The instruction     decoder in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the KVM subsystem     in the Linux kernel before 3.18-rc2 does not properly     handle invalid instructions, which allows guest OS     users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and host OS crash) via a crafted     application that triggers (1) an improperly fetched     instruction or (2) an instruction that occupies too     many bytes. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of     an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-8480.(CVE-2014-8481)The     snd_compress_check_input function in     sound/core/compress_offload.c in the ALSA subsystem in     the Linux kernel before 3.17 does not properly check     for an integer overflow, which allows local users to     cause a denial of service (insufficient memory     allocation) or possibly have unspecified other impact     via a crafted SNDRV_COMPRESS_SET_PARAMS ioctl     call.(CVE-2014-9904)The resv_map_release function in     mm/hugetlb.c in the Linux kernel, through 4.15.7,     allows local users to cause a denial of service (BUG)     via a crafted application that makes mmap system calls     and has a large pgoff argument to the remap_file_pages     system call.(CVE-2018-7740)
