New kernel packages are available for Slackware 14.2 to fix security issues.

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 :

  - 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-2015-6526i1/4%0

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel. Payloads     of NM entries are not supposed to contain NUL. When     such entry is processed, only the part prior to the     first NUL goes into the concatenation (i.e. the     directory entry name being encoded by a bunch of NM     entries). The process stops when the amount collected     so far + the claimed amount in the current NM entry     exceed 254. However, the value returned as the total     length is the sum of *claimed* sizes, not the actual     amount collected. And that's what will be passed to     readdir() callback as the name length - 8Kb
    __copy_to_user() from a buffer allocated by
    __get_free_page().(CVE-2016-4913i1/4%0

  - The perf_trace_event_perm function in     kernel/trace/trace_event_perf.c in the Linux kernel     before 3.12.2 does not properly restrict access to the     perf subsystem, which allows local users to enable     function tracing via a crafted     application.(CVE-2013-2930i1/4%0

  - The mincore() implementation in mm/mincore.c in the     Linux kernel through 4.19.13 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     be possible, as demonstrated by latency differences in     accessing public files from an Apache HTTP     Server.(CVE-2019-5489i1/4%0

  - It was found that the espfix functionality could be     bypassed by installing a 16-bit RW data segment into     GDT instead of LDT (which espfix checks), and using     that segment on the stack. A local, unprivileged user     could potentially use this flaw to leak kernel stack     addresses.(CVE-2014-8133i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the btrfs filesystem code in     the Linux kernel. An out-of-bounds access is possible     in write_extent_buffer() when mounting and operating a     crafted btrfs image due to a lack of verification at     mount time within the btrfs_read_block_groups() in     fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c function. This could lead to a     system crash and a denial of service.(CVE-2018-14610i1/4%0

  - kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through     4.14.8 mishandles states_equal comparisons between the     pointer data type and the UNKNOWN_VALUE data type,     which allows local users to obtain potentially     sensitive address information, aka a 'pointer     leak.'(CVE-2017-17864i1/4%0

  - drivers/hid/hid-lenovo-tpkbd.c in the Human Interface     Device (HID) subsystem in the Linux kernel through     3.11, when CONFIG_HID_LENOVO_TPKBD is enabled, allows     physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of     service (heap-based out-of-bounds write) via a crafted     device.(CVE-2013-2894i1/4%0

  - Memory leak in the sas_smp_get_phy_events function in     drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c in the Linux kernel     allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel     memory exhaustion) via multiple read accesses to files     in the /sys/class/sas_phy directory.(CVE-2018-7757i1/4%0

  - It was found that the original fix for CVE-2016-6786     was incomplete. There exist a race between two     concurrent sys_perf_event_open() calls when both try     and move the same pre-existing software group into a     hardware context.(CVE-2017-6001i1/4%0

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.20.12,     net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_snmp_basic_main.c in the SNMP     NAT module has insufficient ASN.1 length checks (aka an     array index error), making out-of-bounds read and write     operations possible, leading to an OOPS or local     privilege escalation. This affects snmp_version and     snmp_helper.(CVE-2019-9162i1/4%0

  - An information leak flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA)     implementation handled access of the user control's     state. A local, privileged user could use this flaw to     leak kernel memory to user space.(CVE-2014-4652i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found that the vfs_rename() function did not     detect hard links on overlayfs. A local, unprivileged     user could use the rename syscall on overlayfs on top     of xfs to crash the system.(CVE-2016-6198i1/4%0

  - It was found that when file permissions were modified     via chmod and the user modifying them was not in the     owning group or capable of CAP_FSETID, the setgid bit     would be cleared. Setting a POSIX ACL via setxattr sets     the file permissions as well as the new ACL, but     doesn't clear the setgid bit in a similar way. This     could allow a local user to gain group privileges via     certain setgid applications.(CVE-2016-7097i1/4%0

  - 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-2014-9644i1/4%0

  - An arbitrary memory r/w access issue was found in the     Linux kernel compiled with the eBPF bpf(2) system call     (CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL) support. The issue could occur due     to calculation errors in the eBPF verifier module,     triggered by user supplied malicious BPF program. An     unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate their     privileges on a system. Setting parameter     'kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled=1' prevents such     privilege escalation by restricting access to bpf(2)     call.(CVE-2017-16995i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the implementation of associative     arrays where the add_key systemcall and KEYCTL_UPDATE     operations allowed for a NULL payload with a nonzero     length. When accessing the payload within this length     parameters value, an unprivileged user could trivially     cause a NULL pointer dereference (kernel     oops).(CVE-2017-15274i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's keyring handling     code: the key_reject_and_link() function could be     forced to free an arbitrary memory block. An attacker     could use this flaw to trigger a use-after-free     condition on the system, potentially allowing for     privilege escalation.(CVE-2016-4470i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way certain interfaces of the     Linux kernel's Infiniband subsystem used write() as     bi-directional ioctl() replacement, which could lead to     insufficient memory security checks when being invoked     using the splice() system call. A local unprivileged     user on a system with either Infiniband hardware     present or RDMA Userspace Connection Manager Access     module explicitly loaded, could use this flaw to     escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2016-4565i1/4%0

  - 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-2015-8215i1/4%0

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

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3932-2 advisory.

  - The add_free_nid function in fs/f2fs/node.c in the Linux kernel before 4.12 does not properly track an     allocated nid, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (race condition) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via concurrent threads. (CVE-2017-18249)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/f2fs/super.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3. There is an out-of-bounds     read or a divide-by-zero error for an incorrect user_block_count in a corrupted f2fs image, leading to a     denial of service (BUG). (CVE-2018-13097)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/f2fs/inline.c in the Linux kernel through 4.4. A denial of service (out-of-     bounds memory access and BUG) can occur for a modified f2fs filesystem image in which an inline inode     contains an invalid reserved blkaddr. (CVE-2018-13099)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/f2fs/super.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3, which does not properly     validate secs_per_zone in a corrupted f2fs image, as demonstrated by a divide-by-zero error.
    (CVE-2018-13100)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10. There is out-of-bounds access in     write_extent_buffer() when mounting and operating a crafted btrfs image, because of a lack of verification     that each block group has a corresponding chunk at mount time, within btrfs_read_block_groups in     fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c. (CVE-2018-14610)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10. There is a use-after-free in     try_merge_free_space() when mounting a crafted btrfs image, because of a lack of chunk type flag checks in     btrfs_check_chunk_valid in fs/btrfs/volumes.c. (CVE-2018-14611)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10. There is an invalid pointer dereference in     btrfs_root_node() when mounting a crafted btrfs image, because of a lack of chunk block group mapping     validation in btrfs_read_block_groups in fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c, and a lack of empty-tree checks in     check_leaf in fs/btrfs/tree-checker.c. (CVE-2018-14612)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10. There is an invalid pointer dereference in     io_ctl_map_page() when mounting and operating a crafted btrfs image, because of a lack of block group item     validation in check_leaf_item in fs/btrfs/tree-checker.c. (CVE-2018-14613)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10. There is an out-of-bounds access in
    __remove_dirty_segment() in fs/f2fs/segment.c when mounting an f2fs image. (CVE-2018-14614)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10. There is a NULL pointer dereference in     fscrypt_do_page_crypto() in fs/crypto/crypto.c when operating on a file in a corrupted f2fs image.
    (CVE-2018-14616)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFS41+ subsystem. 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. (CVE-2018-16884)

  - In pppol2tp_connect, there is possible memory corruption due to a use after free. This could lead to local     escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation. Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID: A-38159931. (CVE-2018-9517)

  - A heap address information leak while using L2CAP_GET_CONF_OPT was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.1-rc1. (CVE-2019-3459)

  - A heap data infoleak in multiple locations including L2CAP_PARSE_CONF_RSP was found in the Linux kernel     before 5.1-rc1. (CVE-2019-3460)

  - An issue was discovered in can_can_gw_rcv in net/can/gw.c in the Linux kernel through 4.19.13. The CAN     frame modification rules allow bitwise logical operations that can be also applied to the can_dlc field.
    The privileged user root with CAP_NET_ADMIN can create a CAN frame modification rule that makes the data     length code a higher value than the available CAN frame data size. In combination with a configured     checksum calculation where the result is stored relatively to the end of the data (e.g. cgw_csum_xor_rel)     the tail of the skb (e.g. frag_list pointer in skb_shared_info) can be rewritten which finally can cause a     system crash. Because of a missing check, the CAN drivers may write arbitrary content beyond the data     registers in the CAN controller's I/O memory when processing can-gw manipulated outgoing frames.
    (CVE-2019-3701)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the function hid_debug_events_read() in drivers/hid/hid-debug.c     file which may enter an infinite loop with certain parameters passed from a userspace. A local privileged     user (root) can cause a system lock up and a denial of service. Versions from v4.18 and newer are     vulnerable. (CVE-2019-3819)

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.20.8, kvm_ioctl_create_device in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c mishandles reference     counting because of a race condition, leading to a use-after-free. (CVE-2019-6974)

  - The KVM implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.20.5 has a Use-after-Free. (CVE-2019-7221)

  - The KVM implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.20.5 has an Information Leak. (CVE-2019-7222)

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.20.14, expand_downwards in mm/mmap.c lacks a check for the mmap minimum     address, which makes 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. (CVE-2019-9213)

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

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2018-4270 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.18.8. The vmacache_flush_all function in     mm/vmacache.c mishandles sequence number overflows. An attacker can trigger a use-after-free (and possibly     gain privileges) via certain thread creation, map, unmap, invalidation, and dereference operations.
    (CVE-2018-17182)

  - drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.11 allows ucma_leave_multicast to access a     certain data structure after a cleanup step in ucma_process_join, which allows attackers to cause a denial     of service (use-after-free). (CVE-2018-14734)

  - The spectre_v2_select_mitigation function in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c in the Linux kernel before 4.18.1     does not always fill RSB upon a context switch, which makes it easier for attackers to conduct userspace-     userspace spectreRSB attacks. (CVE-2018-15572)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the kernel scsi driver. Product: Android. Versions: Android     kernel. Android ID A-65023233. (CVE-2017-13168)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10. There is out-of-bounds access in     write_extent_buffer() when mounting and operating a crafted btrfs image, because of a lack of verification     that each block group has a corresponding chunk at mount time, within btrfs_read_block_groups in     fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c. (CVE-2018-14610)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10. There is a use-after-free in     try_merge_free_space() when mounting a crafted btrfs image, because of a lack of chunk type flag checks in     btrfs_check_chunk_valid in fs/btrfs/volumes.c. (CVE-2018-14611)

  - arch/arm64/kvm/guest.c in KVM in the Linux kernel before 4.18.12 on the arm64 platform mishandles the     KVM_SET_ON_REG ioctl. This is exploitable by attackers who can create virtual machines. An attacker can     arbitrarily redirect the hypervisor flow of control (with full register control). An attacker can also     cause a denial of service (hypervisor panic) via an illegal exception return. This occurs because of     insufficient restrictions on userspace access to the core register file, and because PSTATE.M validation     does not prevent unintended execution modes. (CVE-2018-18021)

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

This update is now available for all supported architectures. For reference the original advisory text follows.

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

CVE-2015-8839

A race condition was found in the ext4 filesystem implementation. A local user could exploit this to cause a denial of service (filesystem corruption).

CVE-2018-14610, CVE-2018-14611, CVE-2018-14612, CVE-2018-14613

Wen Xu from SSLab at Gatech reported that crafted Btrfs volumes could trigger a crash (Oops) and/or out-of-bounds memory access. An attacker able to mount such a volume could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-5108

Mitchell Frank of Cisco discovered that when the IEEE 802.11 (WiFi) stack was used in AP mode with roaming, it would trigger roaming for a newly associated station before the station was authenticated. An attacker within range of the AP could use this to cause a denial of service, either by filling up a switching table or by redirecting traffic away from other stations.

CVE-2019-19319

Jungyeon discovered that a crafted filesystem can cause the ext4 implementation to deallocate or reallocate journal blocks. A user permitted to mount filesystems could use this to cause a denial of service (crash), or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-19447

It was discovered that the ext4 filesystem driver did not safely handle unlinking of an inode that, due to filesystem corruption, already has a link count of 0. An attacker able to mount arbitrary ext4 volumes could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-19768

Tristan Madani reported a race condition in the blktrace debug facility that could result in a use-after-free. A local user able to trigger removal of block devices could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (crash) or for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-20636

The syzbot tool found that the input subsystem did not fully validate keycode changes, which could result in a heap out-of-bounds write. A local user permitted to access the device node for an input or VT device could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-0009

Jann Horn reported that the Android ashmem driver did not prevent read-only files from being memory-mapped and then remapped as read-write. However, Android drivers are not enabled in Debian kernel configurations.

CVE-2020-0543

Researchers at VU Amsterdam discovered that on some Intel CPUs supporting the RDRAND and RDSEED instructions, part of a random value generated by these instructions may be used in a later speculative execution on any core of the same physical CPU. Depending on how these instructions are used by applications, a local user or VM guest could use this to obtain sensitive information such as cryptographic keys from other users or VMs.

This vulnerability can be mitigated by a microcode update, either as part of system firmware (BIOS) or through the intel-microcode package in Debian's non-free archive section. This kernel update only provides reporting of the vulnerability and the option to disable the mitigation if it is not needed.

CVE-2020-1749

Xiumei Mu reported that some network protocols that can run on top of IPv6 would bypass the Transformation (XFRM) layer used by IPsec, IPcomp/IPcomp6, IPIP, and IPv6 Mobility. This could result in disclosure of information over the network, since it would not be encrypted or routed according to the system policy.

CVE-2020-2732

Paulo Bonzini discovered that the KVM implementation for Intel processors did not properly handle instruction emulation for L2 guests when nested virtualization is enabled. This could allow an L2 guest to cause privilege escalation, denial of service, or information leaks in the L1 guest.

CVE-2020-8647, CVE-2020-8649

The Hulk Robot tool found a potential MMIO out-of-bounds access in the vgacon driver. A local user permitted to access a virtual terminal (/dev/tty1 etc.) on a system using the vgacon driver could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-8648

The syzbot tool found a race condition in the the virtual terminal driver, which could result in a use-after-free. A local user permitted to access a virtual terminal could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-9383

Jordy Zomer reported an incorrect range check in the floppy driver which could lead to a static out-of-bounds access. A local user permitted to access a floppy drive could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-10690

It was discovered that the PTP hardware clock subsystem did not properly manage device lifetimes. Removing a PTP hardware clock from the system while a user process was using it could lead to a use-after-free. The security impact of this is unclear.

CVE-2020-10751

Dmitry Vyukov reported that the SELinux subsystem did not properly handle validating multiple messages, which could allow a privileged attacker to bypass SELinux netlink restrictions.

CVE-2020-10942

It was discovered that the vhost_net driver did not properly validate the type of sockets set as back-ends. A local user permitted to access /dev/vhost-net could use this to cause a stack corruption via crafted system calls, resulting in denial of service (crash) or possibly privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-11494

It was discovered that the slcan (serial line CAN) network driver did not fully initialise CAN headers for received packets, resulting in an information leak from the kernel to user-space or over the CAN network.

CVE-2020-11565

Entropy Moe reported that the shared memory filesystem (tmpfs) did not correctly handle an 'mpol' mount option specifying an empty node list, leading to a stack-based out-of-bounds write. If user namespaces are enabled, a local user could use this to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-11608, CVE-2020-11609, CVE-2020-11668

It was discovered that the ov519, stv06xx, and xirlink_cit media drivers did not properly validate USB device descriptors. A physically present user with a specially constructed USB device could use this to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-12114

Piotr Krysiuk discovered a race condition between the umount and pivot_root operations in the filesystem core (vfs). A local user with the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in any user namespace could use this to cause a denial of service (crash).

CVE-2020-12464

Kyungtae Kim reported a race condition in the USB core that can result in a use-after-free. It is not clear how this can be exploited, but it could result in a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-12652

Tom Hatskevich reported a bug in the mptfusion storage drivers. An ioctl handler fetched a parameter from user memory twice, creating a race condition which could result in incorrect locking of internal data structures. A local user permitted to access /dev/mptctl could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-12653

It was discovered that the mwifiex WiFi driver did not sufficiently validate scan requests, resulting a potential heap buffer overflow. A local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-12654

It was discovered that the mwifiex WiFi driver did not sufficiently validate WMM parameters received from an access point (AP), resulting a potential heap buffer overflow. A malicious AP could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly to execute code on a vulnerable system.

CVE-2020-12769

It was discovered that the spi-dw SPI host driver did not properly serialise access to its internal state. The security impact of this is unclear, and this driver is not included in Debian's binary packages.

CVE-2020-12770

It was discovered that the sg (SCSI generic) driver did not correctly release internal resources in a particular error case. A local user permitted to access an sg device could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion).

CVE-2020-12826

Adam Zabrocki reported a weakness in the signal subsystem's permission checks. A parent process can choose an arbitary signal for a child process to send when it exits, but if the parent has executed a new program then the default SIGCHLD signal is sent. A local user permitted to run a program for several days could bypass this check, execute a setuid program, and then send an arbitrary signal to it.
Depending on the setuid programs installed, this could have some security impact.

CVE-2020-13143

Kyungtae Kim reported a potential heap out-of-bounds write in the USB gadget subsystem. A local user permitted to write to the gadget configuration filesystem could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or potentially for privilege escalation.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 3.16.84-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.

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

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

CVE-2017-18249

A race condition was discovered in the disk space allocator of F2FS. A user with access to an F2FS volume could use this to cause a denial of service or other security impact.

CVE-2018-1128, CVE-2018-1129

The cephx authentication protocol used by Ceph was susceptible to replay attacks, and calculated signatures incorrectly. These vulnerabilities in the server required changes to authentication that are incompatible with existing clients. The kernel's client code has now been updated to be compatible with the fixed server.

CVE-2018-3639 (SSB)

Multiple researchers have discovered that Speculative Store Bypass (SSB), a feature implemented in many processors, could be used to read sensitive information from another context. In particular, code in a software sandbox may be able to read sensitive information from outside the sandbox. This issue is also known as Spectre variant 4.

This update adds a further mitigation for this issue in the eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter) implementation.

CVE-2018-5391 (FragmentSmack)

Juha-Matti Tilli discovered a flaw in the way the Linux kernel handled reassembly of fragmented IPv4 and IPv6 packets. A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to trigger time and calculation expensive fragment reassembly algorithms by sending specially crafted packets, leading to remote denial of service.

This was previously mitigated by reducing the default limits on memory usage for incomplete fragmented packets. This update replaces that mitigation with a more complete fix.

CVE-2018-5848

The wil6210 wifi driver did not properly validate lengths in scan and connection requests, leading to a possible buffer overflow. On systems using this driver, a local user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability could use this for denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or potentially for privilege escalation.

  - The add_free_nid function in fs/f2fs/node.c in the Linux kernel before 4.12 does not properly track an     allocated nid, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (race condition) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via concurrent threads. (CVE-2017-18249)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/f2fs/super.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3. There is an out-of-bounds     read or a divide-by-zero error for an incorrect user_block_count in a corrupted f2fs image, leading to a     denial of service (BUG). (CVE-2018-13097)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/f2fs/inline.c in the Linux kernel through 4.4. A denial of service (out-of-     bounds memory access and BUG) can occur for a modified f2fs filesystem image in which an inline inode     contains an invalid reserved blkaddr. (CVE-2018-13099)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/f2fs/super.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3, which does not properly     validate secs_per_zone in a corrupted f2fs image, as demonstrated by a divide-by-zero error.
    (CVE-2018-13100)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10. There is out-of-bounds access in     write_extent_buffer() when mounting and operating a crafted btrfs image, because of a lack of verification     that each block group has a corresponding chunk at mount time, within btrfs_read_block_groups in     fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c. (CVE-2018-14610)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10. There is a use-after-free in     try_merge_free_space() when mounting a crafted btrfs image, because of a lack of chunk type flag checks in     btrfs_check_chunk_valid in fs/btrfs/volumes.c. (CVE-2018-14611)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10. There is an invalid pointer dereference in     btrfs_root_node() when mounting a crafted btrfs image, because of a lack of chunk block group mapping     validation in btrfs_read_block_groups in fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c, and a lack of empty-tree checks in     check_leaf in fs/btrfs/tree-checker.c. (CVE-2018-14612)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10. There is an invalid pointer dereference in     io_ctl_map_page() when mounting and operating a crafted btrfs image, because of a lack of block group item     validation in check_leaf_item in fs/btrfs/tree-checker.c. (CVE-2018-14613)

    (CVE-2018-14616)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFS41+ subsystem. 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. (CVE-2018-16884)

  - In pppol2tp_connect, there is possible memory corruption due to a use after free. This could lead to local     escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation. Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID: A-38159931. (CVE-2018-9517)

  - A heap address information leak while using L2CAP_GET_CONF_OPT was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.1-rc1. (CVE-2019-3459)

  - A heap data infoleak in multiple locations including L2CAP_PARSE_CONF_RSP was found in the Linux kernel     before 5.1-rc1. (CVE-2019-3460)

  - An issue was discovered in can_can_gw_rcv in net/can/gw.c in the Linux kernel through 4.19.13. The CAN     frame modification rules allow bitwise logical operations that can be also applied to the can_dlc field.
    The privileged user root with CAP_NET_ADMIN can create a CAN frame modification rule that makes the data     length code a higher value than the available CAN frame data size. In combination with a configured     checksum calculation where the result is stored relatively to the end of the data (e.g. cgw_csum_xor_rel)     the tail of the skb (e.g. frag_list pointer in skb_shared_info) can be rewritten which finally can cause a     system crash. Because of a missing check, the CAN drivers may write arbitrary content beyond the data     registers in the CAN controller's I/O memory when processing can-gw manipulated outgoing frames.
    (CVE-2019-3701)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the function hid_debug_events_read() in drivers/hid/hid-debug.c     file which may enter an infinite loop with certain parameters passed from a userspace. A local privileged     user (root) can cause a system lock up and a denial of service. Versions from v4.18 and newer are     vulnerable. (CVE-2019-3819)

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.20.8, kvm_ioctl_create_device in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c mishandles reference     counting because of a race condition, leading to a use-after-free. (CVE-2019-6974)

  - The KVM implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.20.5 has a Use-after-Free. (CVE-2019-7221)

  - The KVM implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.20.5 has an Information Leak. (CVE-2019-7222)

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.20.14, expand_downwards in mm/mmap.c lacks a check for the mmap minimum     address, which makes 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. (CVE-2019-9213)

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

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4094-1 advisory.

  - The alarm_timer_nsleep function in kernel/time/alarmtimer.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3 has an     integer overflow via a large relative timeout because ktime_add_safe is not used. (CVE-2018-13053)

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.20.2, kernel/sched/fair.c mishandles leaf cfs_rq's, which allows attackers to     cause a denial of service (infinite loop in update_blocked_averages) or possibly have unspecified other     impact by inducing a high load. (CVE-2018-20784)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.18.7. In block/blk-core.c, there is an
    __blk_drain_queue() use-after-free because a certain error case is mishandled. (CVE-2018-20856)

  - Bluetooth firmware or operating system software drivers in macOS versions before 10.13, High Sierra and     iOS versions before 11.4, and Android versions before the 2018-06-05 patch may not sufficiently validate     elliptic curve parameters used to generate public keys during a Diffie-Hellman key exchange, which may     allow a remote attacker to obtain the encryption key used by the device. (CVE-2018-5383)

  - Insufficient access control in the Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software driver before version 21.10 may     allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via adjacent access. (CVE-2019-0136)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A heap based buffer overflow in mwifiex_uap_parse_tail_ies function     in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/ie.c might lead to memory corruption and possibly other     consequences. (CVE-2019-10126)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth implementation of UART, all versions kernel 3.x.x before     4.18.0 and kernel 5.x.x. An attacker with local access and write permissions to the Bluetooth hardware     could use this flaw to issue a specially crafted ioctl function call and cause the system to crash.
    (CVE-2019-10207)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.1.7, a device can be tracked by an attacker using the IP ID values the kernel     produces for connection-less protocols (e.g., UDP and ICMP). When such traffic is sent to multiple     destination IP addresses, it is possible to obtain hash collisions (of indices to the counter array) and     thereby obtain the hashing key (via enumeration). An attack may be conducted by hosting a crafted web page     that uses WebRTC or gQUIC to force UDP traffic to attacker-controlled IP addresses. (CVE-2019-10638)

  - The Linux kernel 4.x (starting from 4.1) and 5.x before 5.0.8 allows Information Exposure (partial kernel     address disclosure), leading to a KASLR bypass. Specifically, it is possible to extract the KASLR kernel     image offset using the IP ID values the kernel produces for connection-less protocols (e.g., UDP and     ICMP). When such traffic is sent to multiple destination IP addresses, it is possible to obtain hash     collisions (of indices to the counter array) and thereby obtain the hashing key (via enumeration). This     key contains enough bits from a kernel address (of a static variable) so when the key is extracted (via     enumeration), the offset of the kernel image is exposed. This attack can be carried out remotely, by the     attacker forcing the target device to send UDP or ICMP (or certain other) traffic to attacker-controlled     IP addresses. Forcing a server to send UDP traffic is trivial if the server is a DNS server. ICMP traffic     is trivial if the server answers ICMP Echo requests (ping). For client targets, if the target visits the     attacker's web page, then WebRTC or gQUIC can be used to force UDP traffic to attacker-controlled IP     addresses. NOTE: this attack against KASLR became viable in 4.1 because IP ID generation was changed to     have a dependency on an address associated with a network namespace. (CVE-2019-10639)

  - Insufficient input validation in Kernel Mode Driver in Intel(R) i915 Graphics for Linux before version 5.0     may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.
    (CVE-2019-11085)

  - 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 coredump implementation in the Linux kernel before 5.0.10 does not use locking or other mechanisms to     prevent vma layout or vma flags changes while it runs, which allows local users to obtain sensitive     information, cause a denial of service, or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a race     condition with mmget_not_zero or get_task_mm calls. This is related to fs/userfaultfd.c, mm/mmap.c,     fs/proc/task_mmu.c, and drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c. (CVE-2019-11599)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.7. A NULL pointer dereference can occur when     megasas_create_frame_pool() fails in megasas_alloc_cmds() in drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c.
    This causes a Denial of Service, related to a use-after-free. (CVE-2019-11810)

  - An issue was discovered in rds_tcp_kill_sock in net/rds/tcp.c in the Linux kernel before 5.0.8. There is a     race condition leading to a use-after-free, related to net namespace cleanup. (CVE-2019-11815)

  - fs/ext4/extents.c in the Linux kernel through 5.1.2 does not zero out the unused memory region in the     extent tree block, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by reading uninitialized     data in the filesystem. (CVE-2019-11833)

  - 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)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.20.15. 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 affects nfc_llcp_build_gb in     net/nfc/llcp_core.c. (CVE-2019-12818)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0. The function __mdiobus_register() in     drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c calls put_device(), which will trigger a fixed_mdio_bus_init use-after-free.
    This will cause a denial of service. (CVE-2019-12819)

  - A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the function nfc_genl_deactivate_target() in net/nfc/netlink.c     in the Linux kernel before 5.1.13 can be triggered by a malicious user-mode program that omits certain NFC     attributes, leading to denial of service. (CVE-2019-12984)

  - In arch/x86/lib/insn-eval.c in the Linux kernel before 5.1.9, there is a use-after-free for access to an     LDT entry because of a race condition between modify_ldt() and a #BR exception for an MPX bounds     violation. (CVE-2019-13233)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.1.17, ptrace_link in kernel/ptrace.c mishandles the recording of the     credentials of a process that wants to create a ptrace relationship, which allows local users to obtain     root access by leveraging certain scenarios with a parent-child process relationship, where a parent drops     privileges and calls execve (potentially allowing control by an attacker). One contributing factor is an     object lifetime issue (which can also cause a panic). Another contributing factor is incorrect marking of     a ptrace relationship as privileged, which is exploitable through (for example) Polkit's pkexec helper     with PTRACE_TRACEME. NOTE: SELinux deny_ptrace might be a usable workaround in some environments.
    (CVE-2019-13272)

  - In parse_hid_report_descriptor in drivers/input/tablet/gtco.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.1, a     malicious USB device can send an HID report that triggers an out-of-bounds write during generation of     debugging messages. (CVE-2019-13631)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.2.3, set_geometry in drivers/block/floppy.c does not validate the sect and     head fields, as demonstrated by an integer overflow and out-of-bounds read. It can be triggered by an     unprivileged local user when a floppy disk has been inserted. NOTE: QEMU creates the floppy device by     default. (CVE-2019-14283)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.2.3, drivers/block/floppy.c allows a denial of service by setup_format_params     division-by-zero. Two consecutive ioctls can trigger the bug: the first one should set the drive geometry     with .sect and .rate values that make F_SECT_PER_TRACK be zero. Next, the floppy format operation should     be called. It can be triggered by an unprivileged local user even when a floppy disk has not been     inserted. NOTE: QEMU creates the floppy device by default. (CVE-2019-14284)

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.16.4, a double-locking error in drivers/usb/dwc3/gadget.c may potentially     cause a deadlock with f_hid. (CVE-2019-14763)

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/scsi/qedi/qedi_dbg.c in the Linux kernel before 5.1.12. In the     qedi_dbg_* family of functions, there is an out-of-bounds read. (CVE-2019-15090)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.2.6. There is a use-after-free caused by a malicious     USB device in the drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-dev.c driver because drivers/media/radio/radio-raremono.c     does not properly allocate memory. (CVE-2019-15211)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.1.8. There is a double-free caused by a malicious USB     device in the drivers/usb/misc/rio500.c driver. (CVE-2019-15212)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.10. There is a use-after-free in the sound     subsystem because card disconnection causes certain data structures to be deleted too early. This is     related to sound/core/init.c and sound/core/info.c. (CVE-2019-15214)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.2.6. There is a use-after-free caused by a malicious     USB device in the drivers/media/usb/cpia2/cpia2_usb.c driver. (CVE-2019-15215)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.14. There is a NULL pointer dereference caused by a     malicious USB device in the drivers/usb/misc/yurex.c driver. (CVE-2019-15216)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.1.8. There is a NULL pointer dereference caused by a     malicious USB device in the drivers/media/usb/siano/smsusb.c driver. (CVE-2019-15218)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.2.1. There is a use-after-free caused by a malicious     USB device in the drivers/net/wireless/intersil/p54/p54usb.c driver. (CVE-2019-15220)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.1.17. There is a NULL pointer dereference caused by a     malicious USB device in the sound/usb/line6/pcm.c driver. (CVE-2019-15221)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.9. There is a use-after-free in atalk_proc_exit,     related to net/appletalk/atalk_proc.c, net/appletalk/ddp.c, and net/appletalk/sysctl_net_atalk.c.
    (CVE-2019-15292)

  - In em28xx_unregister_dvb of em28xx-dvb.c, there is a possible use after free issue. This could lead to     local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not     needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID: A-111761954References:
    Upstream kernel (CVE-2019-2024)

  - In uvc_parse_standard_control of uvc_driver.c, there is a possible out-of-bound read due to improper input     validation. This could lead to local information disclosure with no additional execution privileges     needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel.
    Android ID: A-111760968. (CVE-2019-2101)

  - An issue was discovered in can_can_gw_rcv in net/can/gw.c in the Linux kernel through 4.19.13. The CAN     frame modification rules allow bitwise logical operations that can be also applied to the can_dlc field.
    The privileged user root with CAP_NET_ADMIN can create a CAN frame modification rule that makes the data     length code a higher value than the available CAN frame data size. In combination with a configured     checksum calculation where the result is stored relatively to the end of the data (e.g. cgw_csum_xor_rel)     the tail of the skb (e.g. frag_list pointer in skb_shared_info) can be rewritten which finally can cause a     system crash. Because of a missing check, the CAN drivers may write arbitrary content beyond the data     registers in the CAN controller's I/O memory when processing can-gw manipulated outgoing frames.
    (CVE-2019-3701)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the function hid_debug_events_read() in drivers/hid/hid-debug.c     file which may enter an infinite loop with certain parameters passed from a userspace. A local privileged     user (root) can cause a system lock up and a denial of service. Versions from v4.18 and newer are     vulnerable. (CVE-2019-3819)

  - 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. (CVE-2019-3846)

  - An infinite loop issue was found in the vhost_net kernel module in Linux Kernel up to and including     v5.1-rc6, while handling incoming packets in handle_rx(). It could occur if one end sends packets faster     than the other end can process them. A guest user, maybe remote one, could use this flaw to stall the     vhost_net kernel thread, resulting in a DoS scenario. (CVE-2019-3900)

  - The Bluetooth BR/EDR specification up to and including version 5.1 permits sufficiently low encryption key     length and does not prevent an attacker from influencing the key length negotiation. This allows practical     brute-force attacks (aka KNOB) that can decrypt traffic and inject arbitrary ciphertext without the     victim noticing. (CVE-2019-9506)

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