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 :

  - In the Linux kernel, Hisilicon Network Subsystem (HNS)     does not consider the ETH_SS_PRIV_FLAGS case when     retrieving sset_count data. This allows local users to     cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and memory     corruption) or possibly have unspecified other     impacts.(CVE-2017-18222i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's     networking implementation handled UDP packets with     incorrect checksum values. A remote attacker could     potentially use this flaw to trigger an infinite loop     in the kernel, resulting in a denial of service on the     system, or cause a denial of service in applications     using the edge triggered epoll     functionality.(CVE-2015-5366i1/4%0

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the     kernel's socket recvmmsg subsystem. This may allow     remote attackers to corrupt memory and may allow     execution of arbitrary code. This corruption takes     place during the error handling routines within
    __sys_recvmmsg() function.(CVE-2016-7117i1/4%0

  - arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6.3     mishandles the APICv on/off state, which allows guest     OS users to obtain direct APIC MSR access on the host     OS, and consequently cause a denial of service (host OS     crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host     OS, via x2APIC mode.(CVE-2016-4440i1/4%0

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.17, 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 mishandles ATTR_REPLACE     operations with conversion of an attr from short to     long form.(CVE-2018-18690i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem.
    A local user can cause an out-of-bounds write and a     denial of service or unspecified other impact is     possible by mounting and operating a crafted ext4     filesystem image.(CVE-2018-10878i1/4%0

  - Xen 3.3.x through 4.5.x and the Linux kernel through     3.19.1 do not properly restrict access to PCI command     registers, which might allow local guest OS users to     cause a denial of service (non-maskable interrupt and     host crash) by disabling the (1) memory or (2) I/O     decoding for a PCI Express device and then accessing     the device, which triggers an Unsupported Request (UR)     response.(CVE-2015-2150i1/4%0

  - The assoc_array_insert_into_terminal_node() function in     'lib/assoc_array.c' in the Linux kernel before 4.5.3     does not check whether a slot is a leaf, which allows     local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel     memory or cause a denial of service (invalid pointer     dereference and out-of-bounds read) via an application     that uses associative-array data     structures.(CVE-2016-7914i1/4%0

  - It was found that the x86 ISA (Instruction Set     Architecture) is prone to a denial of service attack     inside a virtualized environment in the form of an     infinite loop in the microcode due to the way     (sequential) delivering of benign exceptions such as     #AC (alignment check exception) is handled. A     privileged user inside a guest could use this flaw to     create denial of service conditions on the host     kernel.(CVE-2015-5307i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in fs/f2fs/super.c in the Linux     kernel, which does not properly validate secs_per_zone     in a corrupted f2fs image. This may lead to a     divide-by-zero error and a system     crash.(CVE-2018-13100i1/4%0

  - The mISDN_sock_recvmsg function in     drivers/isdn/mISDN/socket.c in the Linux kernel before     3.12.4 does not ensure that a certain length value is     consistent with the size of an associated data     structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory via a (1) recvfrom, (2)     recvmmsg, or (3) recvmsg system call.(CVE-2013-7266i1/4%0

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the     rds_iw_laddr_check() function in the Linux kernel's     implementation of Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS). A     local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash     the system.(CVE-2014-2678i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handling of     packets with the URG flag. Applications using the     splice() and tcp_splice_read() functionality could     allow a remote attacker to force the kernel to enter a     condition in which it could loop     indefinitely.(CVE-2017-6214i1/4%0

  - The kernel_wait4 function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux     kernel before 4.13, when an unspecified architecture     and compiler is used, might allow local users to cause     a denial of service by triggering an attempted use of     the -INT_MIN value.(CVE-2018-10087i1/4%0

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the private wireless     extensions IOCTL implementation in wlan_hdd_wext.c in     the WLAN (aka Wi-Fi) driver for the Linux kernel 3.x     and 4.x, as used in Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC)     Android contributions for MSM devices and other     products, allows attackers to gain privileges via a     crafted application that establishes a packet     filter.(CVE-2015-0569i1/4%0

  - A race condition flaw was found in the Linux kernel's     ext4 file system implementation that allowed a local,     unprivileged user to crash the system by simultaneously     writing to a file and toggling the O_DIRECT flag using     fcntl(F_SETFL) on that file.(CVE-2014-8086i1/4%0

  - The mm_init function in kernel/fork.c in the Linux     kernel before 4.12.10 does not clear the -i1/4zexe_file     member of a new process's mm_struct, allowing a local     attacker to achieve a use-after-free condition and to     induce a kernel memory corruption on the system,     leading to a crash or possibly have unspecified other     impact by running a specially crafted program. Due to     the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be     fully ruled out, although we feel it is     unlikely.(CVE-2017-17052i1/4%0

  - A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's Intel AES-NI instructions optimized version of     the RFC4106 GCM mode decryption functionality handled     fragmented packets. A remote attacker could use this     flaw to crash, or potentially escalate their privileges     on, a system over a connection with an active AES-GCM     mode IPSec security association.(CVE-2015-3331i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the processing of incoming L2CAP     bluetooth commands. Uninitialized stack variables can     be sent to an attacker leaking data in kernel address     space.(CVE-2017-1000410i1/4%0

  - It was found that a remote attacker could use a race     condition flaw in the ath_tx_aggr_sleep() function to     crash the system by creating large network traffic on     the system's Atheros 9k wireless network     adapter.(CVE-2014-2672i1/4%0

The openSUSE 13.2 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

Following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2016-0728: A reference leak in keyring handling with     join_session_keyring() could lead to local attackers     gain root privileges. (bsc#962075).

  - CVE-2015-7550: A local user could have triggered a race     between read and revoke in keyctl (bnc#958951).

  - CVE-2015-8569: The (1) pptp_bind and (2) pptp_connect     functions in drivers/net/ppp/pptp.c in the Linux kernel     did not verify an address length, which allowed local     users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory     and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism via a crafted     application (bnc#959190).

  - CVE-2015-8543: The networking implementation in the     Linux kernel did not validate protocol identifiers for     certain protocol families, which allowed local users to     cause a denial of service (NULL function pointer     dereference and system crash) or possibly gain     privileges by leveraging CLONE_NEWUSER support to     execute a crafted SOCK_RAW application (bnc#958886).

  - CVE-2014-8989: The Linux kernel did not properly     restrict dropping of supplemental group memberships in     certain namespace scenarios, which allowed local users     to bypass intended file permissions by leveraging a     POSIX ACL containing an entry for the group category     that is more restrictive than the entry for the other     category, aka a 'negative groups' issue, related to     kernel/groups.c, kernel/uid16.c, and     kernel/user_namespace.c (bnc#906545).

  - CVE-2015-5157: arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S in the Linux     kernel on the x86_64 platform mishandles IRET faults in     processing NMIs that occurred during userspace     execution, which might allow local users to gain     privileges by triggering an NMI (bnc#937969).

  - CVE-2015-7799: The slhc_init function in     drivers/net/slip/slhc.c in the Linux kernel through     4.2.3 did not ensure that certain slot numbers are     valid, which allowed local users to cause a denial of     service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via     a crafted PPPIOCSMAXCID ioctl call (bnc#949936).

  - CVE-2015-8104: The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel     through 4.2.6, and Xen 4.3.x through 4.6.x, allowed     guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS     panic or hang) by triggering many #DB (aka Debug)     exceptions, related to svm.c (bnc#954404).

  - CVE-2015-5307: The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel     through 4.2.6, and Xen 4.3.x through 4.6.x, allowed     guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS     panic or hang) by triggering many #AC (aka Alignment     Check) exceptions, related to svm.c and vmx.c     (bnc#953527).

  - CVE-2014-9529: Race condition in the key_gc_unused_keys     function in security/keys/gc.c in the Linux kernel     allowed 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     (bnc#912202).

  - CVE-2015-7990: Race condition in the rds_sendmsg     function in net/rds/sendmsg.c in the Linux kernel     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL     pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact by using a socket that was not     properly bound. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because     of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-6937 (bnc#952384     953052).

  - CVE-2015-6937: The __rds_conn_create function in     net/rds/connection.c in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact by using a socket that was not     properly bound (bnc#945825).

  - CVE-2015-7885: The dgnc_mgmt_ioctl function in     drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc_mgmt.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.3.3 did not initialize a certain structure     member, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory via a crafted application     (bnc#951627).

  - CVE-2015-8215: net/ipv6/addrconf.c in the IPv6 stack in     the Linux kernel did not validate attempted changes to     the MTU value, which allowed context-dependent attackers     to cause a denial of service (packet loss) via a value     that is (1) smaller than the minimum compliant value or     (2) larger than the MTU of an interface, as demonstrated     by a Router Advertisement (RA) message that is not     validated by a daemon, a different vulnerability than     CVE-2015-0272. NOTE: the scope of CVE-2015-0272 is     limited to the NetworkManager product (bnc#955354).

  - CVE-2015-8767: A case can occur when sctp_accept() is     called by the user during a heartbeat timeout event     after the 4-way handshake. Since sctp_assoc_migrate()     changes both assoc->base.sk and assoc->ep, the     bh_sock_lock in sctp_generate_heartbeat_event() will be     taken with the listening socket but released with the     new association socket. The result is a deadlock on any     future attempts to take the listening socket lock.
    (bsc#961509)

  - CVE-2015-8575: Validate socket address length in     sco_sock_bind() to prevent information leak     (bsc#959399).

  - CVE-2015-8551, CVE-2015-8552: xen/pciback: For     XEN_PCI_OP_disable_msi[|x] only disable if device has     MSI(X) enabled (bsc#957990).

  - CVE-2015-8550: Compiler optimizations in the XEN PV     backend drivers could have lead to double fetch     vulnerabilities, causing denial of service or arbitrary     code execution (depending on the configuration)     (bsc#957988).

The following non-security bugs were fixed :

  - ALSA: hda - Disable 64bit address for Creative HDA     controllers (bnc#814440).

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 handled     IRET faults during the processing of NMIs. An     unprivileged, local user could use this flaw to crash     the system or, potentially (although highly unlikely),     escalate their privileges on the system.(CVE-2015-5157)

  - A denial of service vulnerability was found in the     WhiteHEAT USB Serial Driver (whiteheat_attach function     in drivers/usb/serial/whiteheat.c). In the driver, the     COMMAND_PORT variable was hard coded and set to 4 (5th     element). The driver assumed that the number of ports     would always be 5 and used port number 5 as the command     port. However, when using a USB device in which the     number of ports was set to a number less than 5 (for     example, 3), the driver triggered a kernel NULL-pointer     dereference. A non-privileged attacker could use this     flaw to panic the host.(CVE-2015-5257)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the SCTP     implementation. A local user could use this flaw to     cause a denial of service on the system by triggering a     kernel panic when creating multiple sockets in parallel     while the system did not have the SCTP module     loaded.(CVE-2015-5283)

  - It was found that the x86 ISA (Instruction Set     Architecture) is prone to a denial of service attack     inside a virtualized environment in the form of an     infinite loop in the microcode due to the way     (sequential) delivering of benign exceptions such as     #AC (alignment check exception) is handled. A     privileged user inside a guest could use this flaw to     create denial of service conditions on the host     kernel.(CVE-2015-5307)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's     networking implementation handled UDP packets with     incorrect checksum values. A remote attacker could     potentially use this flaw to trigger an infinite loop     in the kernel, resulting in a denial of service on the     system, or cause a denial of service in applications     using the edge triggered epoll     functionality.(CVE-2015-5364)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's     networking implementation handled UDP packets with     incorrect checksum values. A remote attacker could     potentially use this flaw to trigger an infinite loop     in the kernel, resulting in a denial of service on the     system, or cause a denial of service in applications     using the edge triggered epoll     functionality.(CVE-2015-5366)

  - A cross-boundary flaw was discovered in the Linux     kernel software raid driver. The driver accessed a     disabled bitmap where only the first byte of the buffer     was initialized to zero. This meant that the rest of     the request (up to 4095 bytes) was left and copied into     user space. An attacker could use this flaw to read     private information from user space that would not     otherwise have been accessible.(CVE-2015-5697)

  - An integer-overflow vulnerability was found in the scsi     block-request handling code in function start_req(). A     local attacker could use specially crafted IOV requests     to overflow a counter used in bio_map_user_iov()'s page     calculation, and write past the end of the array that     contains kernel-page pointers.(CVE-2015-5707)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's vhost     driver treated userspace provided log file descriptor     when processing the VHOST_SET_LOG_FD ioctl command. The     file descriptor was never released and continued to     consume kernel memory. A privileged local user with     access to the /dev/vhost-net files could use this flaw     to create a denial-of-service attack.(CVE-2015-6252)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's perf     subsystem retrieved userlevel stack traces on PowerPC     systems. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw     to cause a denial of service on the system by creating     a special stack layout that would force the     perf_callchain_user_64() function into an infinite     loop.(CVE-2015-6526)

  - A NULL-pointer dereference vulnerability was discovered     in the Linux kernel. The kernel's Reliable Datagram     Sockets (RDS) protocol implementation did not verify     that an underlying transport existed before creating a     connection to a remote server. A local system user     could exploit this flaw to crash the system by creating     sockets at specific times to trigger a NULL pointer     dereference.(CVE-2015-6937)

  - Multiple race conditions in the Advanced Union     Filesystem (aufs) aufs3-mmap.patch and aufs4-mmap.patch     patches for the Linux kernel 3.x and 4.x allow local     users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and     BUG) or possibly gain privileges via a (1) madvise or     (2) msync system call, related to mm/madvise.c and     mm/msync.c.(CVE-2015-7312)

  - A divide-by-zero flaw was discovered in the Linux     kernel built with KVM virtualization     support(CONFIG_KVM). The flaw occurs in the KVM     module's Programmable Interval Timer(PIT) emulation,     when PIT counters for channel 1 or 2 are set to zero(0)     and a privileged user inside the guest attempts to read     these counters. A privileged guest user with access to     PIT I/O ports could exploit this issue to crash the     host kernel (denial of service).(CVE-2015-7513)

  - An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the     Linux kernel's aiptek USB tablet driver (aiptek_probe()     function in drivers/input/tablet/aiptek.c). The driver     assumed that the interface always had at least one     endpoint. By using a specially crafted USB device with     no endpoints on one of its interfaces, an unprivileged     user with physical access to the system could trigger a     kernel NULL pointer dereference, causing the system to     panic.(CVE-2015-7515)

  - A NULL-pointer dereference flaw was found in the     kernel, which is caused by a race between revoking a     user-type key and reading from it. The issue could be     triggered by an unprivileged user with a local account,     causing the kernel to crash (denial of     service).(CVE-2015-7550)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel visor     driver handles certain invalid USB device descriptors.
    The driver assumes that the device always has at least     one bulk OUT endpoint. By using a specially crafted USB     device (without a bulk OUT endpoint), an unprivileged     user with physical access could trigger a kernel     NULL-pointer dereference and cause a system panic     (denial of service).(CVE-2015-7566)

  - A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's IPC subsystem initialized certain fields in an     IPC object structure that were later used for     permission checking before inserting the object into a     globally visible list. A local, unprivileged user could     potentially use this flaw to elevate their privileges     on the system.(CVE-2015-7613)

  - A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel where issuing     certain ioctl() -s commands to the '/dev/ppp' device     file could lead to a NULL pointer dereference. A     privileged user could use this flaw to cause a kernel     crash and denial of service.(CVE-2015-7799)

  - It was found that the Linux kernel's keys subsystem did     not correctly garbage collect uninstantiated keyrings.
    A local attacker could use this flaw to crash the     system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on     the system.(CVE-2015-7872)

  - 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)

  - It was found that the x86 ISA (Instruction Set     Architecture) is prone to a denial of service attack     inside a virtualized environment in the form of an     infinite loop in the microcode due to the way     (sequential) delivering of benign exceptions such as     #DB (debug exception) is handled. A privileged user     inside a guest could use this flaw to create denial of     service conditions on the host kernel.(CVE-2015-8104)

  - It was found that the Linux kernel's IPv6 network stack     did not properly validate the value of the MTU variable     when it was set. A remote attacker could potentially     use this flaw to disrupt a target system's networking     (packet loss) by setting an invalid MTU value, for     example, via a NetworkManager daemon that is processing     router advertisement packets running on the target     system.(CVE-2015-8215)
