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

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Crypto     subsystem handled automatic loading of kernel modules.
    A local user could use this flaw to load any installed     kernel module, and thus increase the attack surface of     the running kernel.(CVE-2014-9644)

  - The Btrfs implementation in the Linux kernel before     3.19 does not ensure that the visible xattr state is     consistent with a requested replacement, which allows     local users to bypass intended ACL settings and gain     privileges via standard filesystem operations (1)     during an xattr-replacement time window, related to a     race condition, or (2) after an xattr-replacement     attempt that fails because the data does not     fit.(CVE-2014-9710)

  - An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's netfilter connection tracking implementation     loaded extensions. An attacker on a local network could     potentially send a sequence of specially crafted     packets that would initiate the loading of a large     number of extensions, causing the targeted system in     that network to crash.(CVE-2014-9715)

  - A symlink size validation was missing in Linux kernels     built with UDF file system (CONFIG_UDF_FS) support,     allowing the corruption of kernel memory. An attacker     able to mount a corrupted/malicious UDF file system     image could cause the kernel to crash.(CVE-2014-9728)

  - A symlink size validation was missing in Linux kernels     built with UDF file system (CONFIG_UDF_FS) support,     allowing the corruption of kernel memory. An attacker     able to mount a corrupted/malicious UDF file system     image could cause the kernel to crash.(CVE-2014-9729)

  - A symlink size validation was missing in Linux kernels     built with UDF file system (CONFIG_UDF_FS) support,     allowing the corruption of kernel memory. An attacker     able to mount a corrupted/malicious UDF file system     image could cause the kernel to crash.(CVE-2014-9730)

  - A path length checking flaw was found in Linux kernels     built with UDF file system (CONFIG_UDF_FS) support. An     attacker able to mount a corrupted/malicious UDF file     system image could use this flaw to leak kernel memory     to user-space.(CVE-2014-9731)

  - The snd_compr_tstamp function in     sound/core/compress_offload.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.7, as used in Android before 2016-08-05 on     Nexus 5 and 7 (2013) devices, does not properly     initialize a timestamp data structure, which allows     attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted     application, aka Android internal bug 28770164 and     Qualcomm internal bug CR568717.(CVE-2014-9892)

  - drivers/media/media-device.c in the Linux kernel before     3.11, as used in Android before 2016-08-05 on Nexus 5     and 7 (2013) devices, does not properly initialize     certain data structures, which allows local users to     obtain sensitive information via a crafted application,     aka Android internal bug 28750150 and Qualcomm internal     bug CR570757, a different vulnerability than     CVE-2014-1739.(CVE-2014-9895)

  - The ethtool_get_wol function in net/core/ethtool.c in     the Linux kernel through 4.7, as used in Android before     2016-08-05 on Nexus 5 and 7 (2013) devices, does not     initialize a certain data structure, which allows local     users to obtain sensitive information via a crafted     application, aka Android internal bug 28803952 and     Qualcomm internal bug CR570754.(CVE-2014-9900)

  - 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)

  - A race condition in the ip4_datagram_release_cb     function in net/ipv4/datagram.c in the Linux kernel     allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial     of service (use-after-free) by leveraging incorrect     expectations about locking during multithreaded access     to internal data structures for IPv4 UDP     sockets.(CVE-2014-9914)

  - A flaw was discovered in the way the kernel allows     stackable filesystems to overlay. A local attacker who     is able to mount filesystems can abuse this flaw to     escalate privileges.(CVE-2014-9922)

  - The regulator_ena_gpio_free function in     drivers/regulator/core.c in the Linux kernel allows     local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of     service (use-after-free) via a crafted     application.(CVE-2014-9940)

  - It was found that the Linux kernel KVM subsystem's     sysenter instruction emulation was not sufficient. An     unprivileged guest user could use this flaw to escalate     their privileges by tricking the hypervisor to emulate     a SYSENTER instruction in 16-bit mode, if the guest OS     did not initialize the SYSENTER model-specific     registers (MSRs). Note: Certified guest operating     systems for Red Hat Enterprise Linux with KVM do     initialize the SYSENTER MSRs and are thus not     vulnerable to this issue when running on a KVM     hypervisor.(CVE-2015-0239)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's XFS file     system handled replacing of remote attributes under     certain conditions. A local user with access to XFS     file system mount could potentially use this flaw to     escalate their privileges on the system.(CVE-2015-0274)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's ext4     file system handled the 'page size i1/4z block size'     condition when the fallocate zero range functionality     was used. A local attacker could use this flaw to crash     the system.(CVE-2015-0275)

  - It was found that the Linux kernel's keyring     implementation would leak memory when adding a key to a     keyring via the add_key() function. A local attacker     could use this flaw to exhaust all available memory on     the system.(CVE-2015-1333)

  - Race condition in the handle_to_path function in     fs/fhandle.c in the Linux kernel through 3.19.1 allows     local users to bypass intended size restrictions and     trigger read operations on additional memory locations     by changing the handle_bytes value of a file handle     during the execution of this function.(CVE-2015-1420)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's SCTP implementation handled authentication key     reference counting during INIT collisions. A remote     attacker could use this flaw to crash the system or,     potentially, escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2015-1421)

  - The IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel before     3.18.8 does not properly consider the length of the     Read-Copy Update (RCU) grace period for redirecting     lookups in the absence of caching, which allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (memory     consumption or system crash) via a flood of     packets.(CVE-2015-1465)

  - A flaw was found in the way the nft_flush_table()     function of the Linux kernel's netfilter tables     implementation flushed rules that were referencing     deleted chains. A local user who has the CAP_NET_ADMIN     capability could use this flaw to crash the     system.(CVE-2015-1573)

  - An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel randomized the stack for processes on certain     64-bit architecture systems, such as x86-64, causing     the stack entropy to be reduced by four.(CVE-2015-1593)

The remote MiracleLinux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2015-216:01 advisory.

    The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of any     Linux operating system.  The kernel handles the basic functions     of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation, device     input and output, etc.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2014-9420     The rock_continue function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel     through 3.18.1 does not restrict the number of Rock Ridge continuation     entries, which allows local users to cause a denial of service     (infinite loop, and system crash or hang) via a crafted iso9660 image.
    CVE-2014-9529     Race condition in the key_gc_unused_keys function in     security/keys/gc.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18.2 allows local     users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or panic) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via keyctl commands that     trigger access to a key structure member during garbage collection of     a key.
    CVE-2014-9584     The parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the     Linux kernel before 3.18.2 does not validate a length value in the     Extensions Reference (ER) System Use Field, which allows local users     to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a crafted     iso9660 image.
    CVE-2015-1573
    ** RESERVED **     This candidate has been reserved by an organization or individual that     will use it when announcing a new security problem.  When the     candidate has been publicized, the details for this candidate will be     provided.
    CVE-2015-1593     The stack randomization feature in the Linux kernel before 3.19.1 on     64-bit platforms uses incorrect data types for the results of bitwise     left-shift operations, which makes it easier for attackers to bypass     the ASLR protection mechanism by predicting the address of the top of     the stack, related to the randomize_stack_top function in     fs/binfmt_elf.c and the stack_maxrandom_size function in     arch/x86/mm/mmap.c.
    CVE-2015-1805
    ** RESERVED **     This candidate has been reserved by an organization or individual that     will use it when announcing a new security problem.  When the     candidate has been publicized, the details for this candidate will be     provided.
    CVE-2015-2830     arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S in the Linux kernel before 3.19.2 does not     prevent the TS_COMPAT flag from reaching a user-mode task, which might     allow local users to bypass the seccomp or audit protection mechanism     via a crafted application that uses the (1) fork or (2) close system     call, as demonstrated by an attack against seccomp before 3.16.

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - It was found that the parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal()     function of the Linux kernel's ISOFS implementation did     not correctly check relocated directories when     processing Rock Ridge child link (CL) tags. An attacker     with physical access to the system could use a     specially crafted ISO image to crash the system or,     potentially, escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2014-5472i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel's F2FS     filesystem code. An out-of-bounds access vulnerability     is possible the in __remove_dirty_segment() in     fs/f2fs/segment.c function when mounting a crafted f2fs     image.(CVE-2018-14614i1/4%0

  - Race condition in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux     kernel before 4.4 allows local users to gain privileges     or cause a denial of service via use-after-free     vulnerability by leveraging incorrect handling of an     swevent data structure during a CPU unplug     operation.(CVE-2015-8963i1/4%0

  - The skbs processed by ip_cmsg_recv() are not guaranteed     to be linear (e.g. when sending UDP packets over     loopback with MSGMORE). Using csum_partial() on     potentially the whole skb len is dangerous instead be     on the safe side and use skb_checksum(). This may lead     to an infoleak as the kernel memory may be checksummed     and sent as part of the packet.(CVE-2017-6347i1/4%0

  - The apic_get_tmcct function in arch/x86/kvm/lapic.c in     the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.12.5     allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service     (divide-by-zero error and host OS crash) via crafted     modifications of the TMICT value.(CVE-2013-6367i1/4%0

  - A use-after-free issue was found in the way the Linux     kernel's KVM hypervisor processed posted interrupts     when nested(=1) virtualization is enabled. In     nested_get_vmcs12_pages(), in case of an error while     processing posted interrupt address, it unmaps the     'pi_desc_page' without resetting 'pi_desc' descriptor     address, which is later used in pi_test_and_clear_on().
    A guest user/process could use this flaw to crash the     host kernel resulting in DoS or potentially gain     privileged access to a system.(CVE-2018-16882i1/4%0

  - It was discovered that the atl2_probe() function in the     Atheros L2 Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel     incorrectly enabled scatter/gather I/O. A remote     attacker could use this flaw to obtain potentially     sensitive information from the kernel     memory.(CVE-2016-2117i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way the nft_flush_table()     function of the Linux kernel's netfilter tables     implementation flushed rules that were referencing     deleted chains. A local user who has the CAP_NET_ADMIN     capability could use this flaw to crash the     system.(CVE-2015-1573i1/4%0

  - The powermate_probe function in     drivers/input/misc/powermate.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.5.1 allows physically proximate attackers to     cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and     system crash) via a crafted endpoints value in a USB     device descriptor.(CVE-2016-2186i1/4%0

  - It was found that KVM's Write to Model Specific     Register (WRMSR) instruction emulation would write     non-canonical values passed in by the guest to certain     MSRs in the host's context. A privileged guest user     could use this flaw to crash the host.(CVE-2014-3610i1/4%0

  - The BPF_S_ANC_NLATTR_NEST extension implementation in     the sk_run_filter function in net/core/filter.c in the     Linux kernel through 3.14.3 uses the reverse order in a     certain subtraction, which allows local users to cause     a denial of service (over-read and system crash) via     crafted BPF instructions. NOTE: the affected code was     moved to the __skb_get_nlattr_nest function before the     vulnerability was announced.(CVE-2014-3145i1/4%0

  - The yam_ioctl function in drivers/net/hamradio/yam.c in     the Linux kernel before 3.12.8 does not initialize a     certain structure member, which allows local users to     obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by     leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for an     SIOCYAMGCFG ioctl call.(CVE-2014-1446i1/4%0

  - A race condition flaw was found in the N_HLDC Linux     kernel driver when accessing n_hdlc.tbuf list that can     lead to double free. A local, unprivileged user able to     set the HDLC line discipline on the tty device could     use this flaw to increase their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2017-2636i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's Transparent     Huge Pages (THP) implementation handled non-huge page     migration. A local, unprivileged user could use this     flaw to crash the kernel by migrating transparent     hugepages.(CVE-2014-3940i1/4%0

  - 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. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege     escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we     believe it is highly unlikely.(CVE-2018-14633i1/4%0

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel where     filesystems mounted with data=ordered mode may allow an     attacker to read stale data from recently allocated     blocks in new files after a system 'reset' by abusing     ext4 mechanics of delayed allocation.(CVE-2017-7495i1/4%0

  - drivers/media/platform/msm/broadcast/tsc.c in the TSC     driver for the Linux kernel 3.x, as used in Qualcomm     Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM     devices and other products, allows attackers to cause a     denial of service (invalid pointer dereference) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted     application that makes a TSC_GET_CARD_STATUS ioctl     call.(CVE-2015-0573i1/4%0

  - It was found that the unlink and rename functionality     in overlayfs did not verify the upper dentry for     staleness. A local, unprivileged user could use the     rename syscall on overlayfs on top of xfs to panic or     crash the system.(CVE-2016-6197i1/4%0

  - In net/socket.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.1,     there is a race condition between fchownat and close in     cases where they target the same socket file     descriptor, related to the sock_close and     sockfs_setattr functions. fchownat does not increment     the file descriptor reference count, which allows close     to set the socket to NULL during fchownat's execution,     leading to a NULL pointer dereference and system     crash.(CVE-2018-12232i1/4%0

  - The ath9k_htc_set_bssid_mask function in     drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_drv_main.c in the     Linux kernel through 3.12 uses a BSSID masking approach     to determine the set of MAC addresses on which a Wi-Fi     device is listening, which allows remote attackers to     discover the original MAC address after spoofing by     sending a series of packets to MAC addresses with     certain bit manipulations.(CVE-2013-4579i1/4%0

(BZ#1223077)

Bug fix :

* There is an XFS optimization that depended on a spinlock to disable preemption using the preempt_disable() function. When CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT is enabled on realtime kernels, spinlocks do not disable preemption while held, so the XFS critical section was not protected from preemption. Systems on the Realtime kernel-rt could lock up in this XFS optimization when a task that locked all the counters was then preempted by a realtime task, causing all callers of that lock to block indefinitely. This update disables the optimization when building a kernel with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL enabled.
(BZ#1217849)

All kernel-rt users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues and add these enhancements. The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.

* It was found that the Linux kernel's implementation of vectored pipe read and write functionality did not take into account the I/O vectors that were already processed when retrying after a failed atomic access operation, potentially resulting in memory corruption due to an I/O vector array overrun. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2015-1805, Important)

* A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel keys management subsystem performed key garbage collection. A local attacker could attempt accessing a key while it was being garbage collected, which would cause the system to crash. (CVE-2014-9529, Moderate)

* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's 32-bit emulation implementation handled forking or closing of a task with an 'int80' entry. A local user could potentially use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2015-2830, Low)

* It was found that the Linux kernel's ISO file system implementation did not correctly limit the traversal of Rock Ridge extension Continuation Entries (CE). An attacker with physical access to the system could use this flaw to trigger an infinite loop in the kernel, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-9420, Low)

* An information leak flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's ISO9660 file system implementation accessed data on an ISO9660 image with RockRidge Extension Reference (ER) records. An attacker with physical access to the system could use this flaw to disclose up to 255 bytes of kernel memory. (CVE-2014-9584, Low)

* A flaw was found in the way the nft_flush_table() function of the Linux kernel's netfilter tables implementation flushed rules that were referencing deleted chains. A local user who has the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability could use this flaw to crash the system. (CVE-2015-1573, Low)

* An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel randomized the stack for processes on certain 64-bit architecture systems, such as x86-64, causing the stack entropy to be reduced by four. (CVE-2015-1593, Low)
