The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP3 kernel was updated to 4.4.92 to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-1000252: The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel     allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service     (assertion failure, and hypervisor hang or crash) via an     out-of bounds guest_irq value, related to     arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c and virt/kvm/eventfd.c (bnc#1058038).

  - CVE-2017-11472: The acpi_ns_terminate() function in     drivers/acpi/acpica/nsutils.c in the Linux kernel did     not flush the operand cache and causes a kernel stack     dump, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory and bypass the KASLR     protection mechanism (in the kernel through 4.9) via a     crafted ACPI table (bnc#1049580).

  - CVE-2017-12134: The xen_biovec_phys_mergeable function     in drivers/xen/biomerge.c in Xen might allow local OS     guest users to corrupt block device data streams and     consequently obtain sensitive memory information, cause     a denial of service, or gain host OS privileges by     leveraging incorrect block IO merge-ability calculation     (bnc#1051790 bsc#1053919).

  - CVE-2017-12153: A security flaw was discovered in the     nl80211_set_rekey_data() function in     net/wireless/nl80211.c in the Linux kernel This function     did not check whether the required attributes are     present in a Netlink request. This request can be issued     by a user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability and may     result in a NULL pointer dereference and system crash     (bnc#1058410).

  - CVE-2017-12154: The prepare_vmcs02 function in     arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel did not ensure     that the 'CR8-load exiting' and 'CR8-store exiting' L0     vmcs02 controls exist in cases where L1 omits the 'use     TPR shadow' vmcs12 control, which allowed KVM L2 guest     OS users to obtain read and write access to the hardware     CR8 register (bnc#1058507).

  - CVE-2017-13080: Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2)     allowed reinstallation of the Group Temporal Key (GTK)     during the group key handshake, allowing an attacker     within radio range to replay frames from access points     to clients (bnc#1056061 1063479 1063667 1063671).

  - CVE-2017-14051: An integer overflow in the     qla2x00_sysfs_write_optrom_ctl function in     drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.c in the Linux kernel     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory     corruption and system crash) by leveraging root access     (bnc#1056588).

  - CVE-2017-14106: The tcp_disconnect function in     net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users     to cause a denial of service (__tcp_select_window     divide-by-zero error and system crash) by triggering a     disconnect within a certain tcp_recvmsg code path     (bnc#1056982).

  - CVE-2017-14489: The iscsi_if_rx function in     drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c in the Linux kernel     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (panic)     by leveraging incorrect length validation (bnc#1059051).

  - CVE-2017-15265: Use-after-free vulnerability in the     Linux kernel before 4.14-rc5 allowed local users to have     unspecified impact via vectors related to /dev/snd/seq     (bnc#1062520).

  - CVE-2017-15649: net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux     kernel allowed local users to gain privileges via     crafted system calls that trigger mishandling of     packet_fanout data structures, because of a race     condition (involving fanout_add and packet_do_bind) that     leads to a use-after-free, a different vulnerability     than CVE-2017-6346 (bnc#1064388).

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 :

  - The acpi_smbus_hc_add function in drivers/acpi/sbshc.c     in the Linux kernel through 4.14.15 allows local users     to obtain sensitive address information by reading     dmesg data from an SBS HC printk call.(CVE-2018-5750i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the btrfs filesystem code in     the Linux kernel. A use-after-free is possible in     try_merge_free_space() when mounting a crafted btrfs     image due to a lack of chunk type flag checks in     btrfs_check_chunk_valid() in the fs/btrfs/volumes.c     function. This could lead to a denial of service or     other unspecified impact.(CVE-2018-14611i1/4%0

  - 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-2015-7566i1/4%0

  - It was found that the RFC 5961 challenge ACK rate     limiting as implemented in the Linux kernel's     networking subsystem allowed an off-path attacker to     leak certain information about a given connection by     creating congestion on the global challenge ACK rate     limit counter and then measuring the changes by probing     packets. An off-path attacker could use this flaw to     either terminate TCP connection and/or inject payload     into non-secured TCP connection between two endpoints     on the network.(CVE-2016-5696i1/4%0

  - It was found that the Bluebooth Network Encapsulation     Protocol (BNEP) implementation did not validate the     type of second socket passed to the BNEPCONNADD     ioctl(), which could lead to memory corruption. A local     user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability can use this for     denial of service (crash or data corruption) or     possibly for privilege escalation. Due to the nature of     the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled     out, although we feel it is unlikely.(CVE-2017-15868i1/4%0

  - A vulnerability was found in the key management     subsystem of the Linux kernel. An update on an     uninstantiated key could cause a kernel panic, leading     to denial of service (DoS).(CVE-2017-15299i1/4%0

  - The aac_send_raw_srb function in     drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c in the Linux kernel     through 3.12.1 does not properly validate a certain     size value, which allows local users to cause a denial     of service (invalid pointer dereference) or possibly     have unspecified other impact via an     FSACTL_SEND_RAW_SRB ioctl call that triggers a crafted     SRB command.(CVE-2013-6380i1/4%0

  - Linux kernel built with the KVM visualization support     (CONFIG_KVM), with nested visualization(nVMX) feature     enabled(nested=1), is vulnerable to an uncaught     exception issue. It could occur if an L2 guest was to     throw an exception which is not handled by an L1     guest.(CVE-2016-9588i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the alarm_timer_nsleep() function     in kernel/time/alarmtimer.c in the Linux kernel. The     ktime_add_safe() function is not used and an integer     overflow can happen causing an alarm not to fire if     using a large relative timeout.(CVE-2018-13053i1/4%0

  - net/llc/sysctl_net_llc.c in the Linux kernel before     3.19 uses an incorrect data type in a sysctl table,     which allows local users to obtain potentially     sensitive information from kernel memory or possibly     have unspecified other impact by accessing a sysctl     entry.(CVE-2015-2041i1/4%0

  - Incorrect error handling in the set_mempolicy() and     mbind() compat syscalls in 'mm/mempolicy.c' in the     Linux kernel allows local users to obtain sensitive     information from uninitialized stack data by triggering     failure of a certain bitmap operation.(CVE-2017-7616i1/4%0

  - The snd_msnd_interrupt function in     sound/isa/msnd/msnd_pinnacle.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.11.7 allows local users to cause a denial of     service (over-boundary access) or possibly have     unspecified other impact by changing the value of a     message queue head pointer between two kernel reads of     that value, aka a 'double fetch'     vulnerability.(CVE-2017-9984i1/4%0

  - An integer overflow was discovered in the     qla2x00_sysfs_write_optrom_ctl function in     drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.12.10. This flaw allows local users to cause     a denial of service (memory corruption and system     crash) by leveraging root access.(CVE-2017-14051i1/4%0

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA)     implementation handled user controls. A local,     privileged user could use this flaw to crash the     system.(CVE-2014-4654i1/4%0

  - An information leak flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's Virtual Dynamic Shared Object (vDSO)     implementation performed address randomization. A     local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to leak     kernel memory addresses to user-space.(CVE-2014-9585i1/4%0

  - The usbhid_parse function in     drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c in the Linux kernel,     before 4.13.8, allows 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.(CVE-2017-16533i1/4%0

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

CVE-2016-10208

Sergej Schumilo and Ralf Spenneberg discovered that a crafted ext4 filesystem could trigger memory corruption when it is mounted. A user that can provide a device or filesystem image to be mounted could use this for denial of service (crash or data corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2017-8824

Mohamed Ghannam discovered that the DCCP implementation did not correctly manage resources when a socket is disconnected and reconnected, potentially leading to a use-after-free. A local user could use this for denial of service (crash or data corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation. On systems that do not already have the dccp module loaded, this can be mitigated by disabling it: echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-dccp.conf install dccp false

CVE-2017-8831

Pengfei Wang discovered that the saa7164 video capture driver re-reads data from a PCI device after validating it. A physically present user able to attach a specially designed PCI device could use this for privilege escalation.

CVE-2017-12190

Vitaly Mayatskikh discovered that the block layer did not correctly count page references for raw I/O from user-space. This can be exploited by a guest VM with access to a host SCSI device for denial of service (memory exhaustion) or potentially for privilege escalation.

CVE-2017-13080

A vulnerability was found in the WPA2 protocol that could lead to reinstallation of the same Group Temporal Key (GTK), which substantially reduces the security of wifi encryption. This is one of the issues collectively known as 'KRACK'.

Updates to GTKs are usually handled by the wpa package, where this issue was already fixed (DLA-1150-1). However, some wifi devices can remain active and update GTKs autonomously while the system is suspended. The kernel must also check for and ignore key reinstallation.

CVE-2017-14051
