The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.6.9, when running on hosts that use qemu userspace without XSAVE, allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel OOPS) by using the KVM_SET_SREGS ioctl to set the X86_CR4_OSXSAVE bit in the guest cr4 register, then calling the KVM_RUN ioctl.

It was found that a deadlock could occur in the Out of Memory (OOM) killer. A process could trigger this deadlock by consuming a large amount of memory, and then causing request_module() to be called. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (excessive memory consumption). (CVE-2012-4398)

A flaw was found in the way the KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) subsystem handled guests attempting to run with the X86_CR4_OSXSAVE CPU feature flag set. On hosts without the XSAVE CPU feature, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the host system. (The 'grep --color xsave /proc/cpuinfo' command can be used to verify if your system has the XSAVE CPU feature.) (CVE-2012-4461)

A memory disclosure flaw was found in the way the load_script() function in the binfmt_script binary format handler handled excessive recursions. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to leak kernel stack memory to user-space by executing specially crafted scripts. (CVE-2012-4530)

A race condition was found in the way the Linux kernel's ptrace implementation handled PTRACE_SETREGS requests when the debuggee was woken due to a SIGKILL signal instead of being stopped. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges.

Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues and several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 Extended Update Support.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

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

This update fixes the following security issues :

* A flaw was found in the way the vhost kernel module handled descriptors that spanned multiple regions. A privileged guest user in a KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) guest could use this flaw to crash the host or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the host.
(CVE-2013-0311, Important)

* A flaw was found in the way the KVM subsystem handled guests attempting to run with the X86_CR4_OSXSAVE CPU feature flag set. On hosts without the XSAVE CPU feature, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the host system. (The 'grep --color xsave /proc/cpuinfo' command can be used to verify if your system has the XSAVE CPU feature.) (CVE-2012-4461, Moderate)

* It was found that the default SCSI command filter does not accommodate commands that overlap across device classes. A privileged guest user could potentially use this flaw to write arbitrary data to a LUN that is passed-through as read-only. (CVE-2012-4542, Moderate)

* A use-after-free flaw was found in the tmpfs implementation. A local user able to mount and unmount a tmpfs file system could use this flaw to cause a denial of service or, potentially, escalate their privileges. (CVE-2013-1767, Low)

Red Hat would like to thank Jon Howell for reporting CVE-2012-4461.
CVE-2012-4542 was discovered by Paolo Bonzini of Red Hat.

This update also fixes the following bugs :

* Previously, when open(2) system calls were processed, the GETATTR routine did not check to see if valid attributes were also returned.
As a result, the open() call succeeded with invalid attributes instead of failing in such a case. This update adds the missing check, and the open() call succeeds only when valid attributes are returned.
(BZ#960409)

* Previously, the fsync(2) system call incorrectly returned the EIO (Input/Output) error instead of the ENOSPC (No space left on device) error. This was due to incorrect error handling in the page cache.
This problem has been fixed and the correct error value is now returned. (BZ#960418)

* In the RPC code, when a network socket backed up due to high network traffic, a timer was set causing a retransmission, which in turn could cause an even larger amount of network traffic to be generated. To prevent this problem, the RPC code now waits for the socket to empty instead of setting the timer. (BZ#960423)

* This update fixes a number of bugs in the be2iscsi driver for ServerEngines BladeEngine 2 Open iSCSI devices. (BZ#955502)

Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 kernel has been updated to 3.0.51 which fixes various bugs and security issues.

It contains the following feature enhancements :

  - The cachefiles framework is now supported (FATE#312793,     bnc#782369). The userland utilities were published     seperately to support this feature.

  - The ipset netfilter modules are now supported     (FATE#313309) The ipset userland utility will be     published seperately to support this feature.

  - The tipc kernel module is now externally supported     (FATE#305033).

  - Hyper-V KVP IP injection was implemented (FATE#314441).

  - Intel Lynx Point PCH chipset support was added.
    (FATE#313409)

  - Enable various md/raid10 and DASD enhancements.
    (FATE#311379) These make it possible for RAID10 to cope     with DASD devices being slow for various reasons - the     affected device will be temporarily removed from the     array.

    Also added support for reshaping of RAID10 arrays.

    mdadm changes will be published to support this feature.

  - A race condition on hot adding memory could be used by     local attackers to crash the system during hot adding     new memory. (CVE-2012-5517)

  - A flaw has been found in the way Linux kernels KVM     subsystem handled vcpu->arch.cr4 X86_CR4_OSXSAVE bit set     upon guest enter. On hosts without the XSAVE feature and     using qemu userspace an unprivileged local user could     have used this flaw to crash the system. (CVE-2012-4461)

  - The KVM implementation in the Linux kernel allowed host     OS users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and host OS crash) by making a     KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP ioctl call after a virtual CPU     already exists. (CVE-2012-1601)

  - Attempting an rds connection from the IP address of an     IPoIB interface to itself causes a kernel panic due to a     BUG_ON() being triggered. Making the test less strict     allows rds-ping to work without crashing the machine. A     local unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the     sytem. (CVE-2012-2372)

  - Dimitry Monakhov, one of the ext4 developers, has     discovered a race involving asynchronous I/O and     fallocate which can lead to the exposure of stale data
    --- that is, an extent which should have had the     'uninitialized' bit set indicating that its blocks have     not yet been written and thus contain data from a     deleted file will get exposed to anyone with read access     to the file. (CVE-2012-4508)

  - The rds_recvmsg function in net/rds/recv.c in the Linux     kernel did not initialize a certain structure member,     which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive     information from kernel stack memory via a (1) recvfrom     or (2) recvmsg system call on an RDS socket.
    (CVE-2012-3430)

  - The sfc (aka Solarflare Solarstorm) driver in the Linux     kernel allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (DMA descriptor consumption and     network-controller outage) via crafted TCP packets that     trigger a small MSS value. (CVE-2012-3412)
