The bcm_char_ioctl function in drivers/staging/bcm/Bcmchar.c in the Linux kernel before 3.12 does not initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via an IOCTL_BCM_GET_DEVICE_DRIVER_INFO ioctl call.

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 :

  - 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-2014-9715i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel which could cause     a kernel panic when restoring machine specific     registers on the PowerPC platform. Incorrect     transactional memory state registers could     inadvertently change the call path on return from     userspace and cause the kernel to enter an unknown     state and crash.(CVE-2015-8844i1/4%0

  - A timing flaw was found in the Chrome EC driver in the     Linux kernel. An attacker could abuse timing to skip     validation checks to copy additional data from     userspace possibly increasing privilege or crashing the     system.(CVE-2016-6156i1/4%0

  - 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-2015-7613i1/4%0

  - 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-2014-9731i1/4%0

  - A race condition leading to a NULL pointer dereference     was found in the Linux kernel's Link Layer Control     implementation. A local attacker with access to ping     sockets could use this flaw to crash the     system.(CVE-2017-2671i1/4%0

  - The f2fs implementation in the Linux kernel, before     4.14, mishandles reference counts associated with     f2fs_wait_discard_bios calls. This allows local users     to cause a denial of service (BUG), as demonstrated by     fstrim.(CVE-2017-18200i1/4%0

  - The LIST_POISON feature in include/linux/poison.h in     the Linux kernel before 4.3, as used in Android 6.0.1     before 2016-03-01, does not properly consider the     relationship to the mmap_min_addr value, which makes it     easier for attackers to bypass a poison-pointer     protection mechanism by triggering the use of an     uninitialized list entry, aka Android internal bug     26186802, a different vulnerability than     CVE-2015-3636.(CVE-2016-0821i1/4%0

  - The xsave/xrstor implementation in     arch/x86/include/asm/xsave.h in the Linux kernel before     3.19.2 creates certain .altinstr_replacement pointers     and consequently does not provide any protection     against instruction faulting, which allows local users     to cause a denial of service (panic) by triggering a     fault, as demonstrated by an unaligned memory operand     or a non-canonical address memory     operand.(CVE-2015-2672i1/4%0

  - The n_tty_write function in drivers/tty/n_tty.c in the     Linux kernel through 3.14.3 does not properly manage     tty driver access in the 'LECHO i1/4+ !OPOST' case, which     allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory     corruption and system crash) or gain privileges by     triggering a race condition involving read and write     operations with long strings.(CVE-2014-0196i1/4%0

  - In the Linux kernel through 4.14.13,     drivers/block/loop.c mishandles lo_release     serialization, which allows attackers to cause a denial     of service (__lock_acquire use-after-free) or possibly     have unspecified other impact.(CVE-2018-5344i1/4%0

  - The lbs_debugfs_write function in     drivers/net/wireless/libertas/debugfs.c in the Linux     kernel through 3.12.1 allows local users to cause a     denial of service (OOPS) by leveraging root privileges     for a zero-length write operation.(CVE-2013-6378i1/4%0

  - 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-2015-6937i1/4%0

  - A stack buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the     Bluetooth subsystem of the Linux kernel processed     pending L2CAP configuration responses from a client. On     systems with the stack protection feature enabled in     the kernel (CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y, which is     enabled on all architectures other than s390x and     ppc64le), an unauthenticated attacker able to initiate     a connection to a system via Bluetooth could use this     flaw to crash the system. Due to the nature of the     stack protection feature, code execution cannot be     fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely. On     systems without the stack protection feature (ppc64le     the Bluetooth modules are not built on s390x), an     unauthenticated attacker able to initiate a connection     to a system via Bluetooth could use this flaw to     remotely execute arbitrary code on the system with ring     0 (kernel) privileges.(CVE-2017-1000251i1/4%0

  - Integer signedness error in the MSM QDSP6 audio 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 gain     privileges or cause a denial of service (memory     corruption) via a crafted application that makes an     ioctl call.(CVE-2016-2066i1/4%0

  - The bcm_char_ioctl function in     drivers/staging/bcm/Bcmchar.c in the Linux kernel     before 3.12 does not initialize a certain data     structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory via an     IOCTL_BCM_GET_DEVICE_DRIVER_INFO ioctl     call.(CVE-2013-4515i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Stream     Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) implementation     handled malformed Address Configuration Change Chunks     (ASCONF). A remote attacker could use either of these     flaws to crash the system.(CVE-2014-3673i1/4%0

  - It was found that paravirt_patch_call/jump() functions     in the arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c in the Linux kernel     mishandles certain indirect calls, which makes it     easier for attackers to conduct Spectre-v2 attacks     against paravirtualized guests.(CVE-2018-15594i1/4%0

  - It was found that the Linux kernel's KVM implementation     did not ensure that the host CR4 control register value     remained unchanged across VM entries on the same     virtual CPU. A local, unprivileged user could use this     flaw to cause a denial of service on the     system.(CVE-2014-3690i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem.
    A local user can cause an out-of-bound write in     jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(), a denial of service, and     a system crash by mounting and operating on a crafted     ext4 filesystem image.(CVE-2018-10883i1/4%0

(bnc#852373)

CVE-2013-6463: Linux kernel built with the networking support(CONFIG_NET) is vulnerable to an information leakage flaw in the socket layer. It could occur while doing recvmsg(2), recvfrom(2) socket calls. It occurs due to improperly initialised msg_name & msg_namelen message header parameters. (bnc#854722)

CVE-2013-6383: The aac_compat_ioctl function in drivers/scsi/aacraid/linit.c in the Linux kernel before 3.11.8 does not require the CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted ioctl call. (bnc#852558)

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 2 kernel was updated to 3.0.101 and also includes various other bug and security fixes.

A new feature was added :

  - supported.conf: marked net/netfilter/xt_set as supported     (bnc#851066)(fate#313309) The following security bugs     have been fixed :

  - Array index error in the kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu     function in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c in the KVM subsystem in     the Linux kernel through 3.12.5 allows local users to     gain privileges via a large id value. (bnc#853050).
    (CVE-2013-4587)

  - The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.12.5     allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial     of service (system crash) via a VAPIC synchronization     operation involving a page-end address. (bnc#853052).
    (CVE-2013-6368)

  - 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. (bnc#853051).
    (CVE-2013-6367)

  - Memory leak in the __kvm_set_memory_region function in     virt/kvm/kvm_main.c in the Linux kernel before 3.9     allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory     consumption) by leveraging certain device access to     trigger movement of memory slots. (bnc#851101).
    (CVE-2013-4592)

  - The lbs_debugfs_write function in     drivers/net/wireless/libertas/debugfs.c in the Linux     kernel through 3.12.1 allows local users to cause a     denial of service (OOPS) by leveraging root privileges     for a zero-length write operation. (bnc#852559).
    (CVE-2013-6378)

  - Multiple buffer overflows in     drivers/staging/wlags49_h2/wl_priv.c in the Linux kernel     before 3.12 allow local users to cause a denial of     service or possibly have unspecified other impact by     leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability and providing a     long station-name string, related to the (1)     wvlan_uil_put_info and (2) wvlan_set_station_nickname     functions. (bnc#849029). (CVE-2013-4514)

  - The bcm_char_ioctl function in     drivers/staging/bcm/Bcmchar.c in the Linux kernel before     3.12 does not initialize a certain data structure, which     allows local users to obtain sensitive information from     kernel memory via an IOCTL_BCM_GET_DEVICE_DRIVER_INFO     ioctl call. (bnc#849034). (CVE-2013-4515)

  - The ieee80211_radiotap_iterator_init function in     net/wireless/radiotap.c in the Linux kernel before     3.11.7 does not check whether a frame contains any data     outside of the header, which might allow attackers to     cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) via a     crafted header. (bnc#854634). (CVE-2013-7027)

  - The ipc_rcu_putref function in ipc/util.c in the Linux     kernel before 3.10 does not properly manage a reference     count, which allows local users to cause a denial of     service (memory consumption or system crash) via a     crafted application. (bnc#848321). (CVE-2013-4483)

  - Multiple integer overflows in Alchemy LCD frame-buffer     drivers in the Linux kernel before 3.12 allow local     users to create a read-write memory mapping for the     entirety of kernel memory, and consequently gain     privileges, via crafted mmap operations, related to the     (1) au1100fb_fb_mmap function in     drivers/video/au1100fb.c and the (2) au1200fb_fb_mmap     function in drivers/video/au1200fb.c. (bnc#849021).
    (CVE-2013-4511)

  - 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.
    (bnc#852373). (CVE-2013-6380)

  - Linux kernel built with the networking     support(CONFIG_NET) is vulnerable to an information     leakage flaw in the socket layer. It could occur while     doing recvmsg(2), recvfrom(2) socket calls. It occurs     due to improperly initialised msg_name &amp; msg_namelen     message header parameters. (bnc#854722). (CVE-2013-6463)

  - The aac_compat_ioctl function in     drivers/scsi/aacraid/linit.c in the Linux kernel before     3.11.8 does not require the CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability,     which allows local users to bypass intended access     restrictions via a crafted ioctl call. (bnc#852558).
    (CVE-2013-6383)

  - Off-by-one error in the get_prng_bytes function in     crypto/ansi_cprng.c in the Linux kernel through 3.11.4     makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to     defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via multiple     requests for small amounts of data, leading to improper     management of the state of the consumed data.
    (bnc#840226). (CVE-2013-4345)

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in the Linux kernel :

The Linux kernel before 3.12.2 does not properly use the get_dumpable function, which allows local users to bypass intended ptrace restrictions or obtain sensitive information from IA64 scratch registers via a crafted application, related to kernel/ptrace.c and arch/ia64/include/asm/processor.h (CVE-2013-2929).

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-2013-2930).

Multiple integer overflows in Alchemy LCD frame-buffer drivers in the Linux kernel before 3.12 allow local users to create a read-write memory mapping for the entirety of kernel memory, and consequently gain privileges, via crafted mmap operations, related to the (1) au1100fb_fb_mmap function in drivers/video/au1100fb.c and the (2) au1200fb_fb_mmap function in drivers/video/au1200fb.c (CVE-2013-4511).

Buffer overflow in the exitcode_proc_write function in arch/um/kernel/exitcode.c in the Linux kernel before 3.12 allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging root privileges for a write operation (CVE-2013-4512).

Multiple buffer overflows in drivers/staging/wlags49_h2/wl_priv.c in the Linux kernel before 3.12 allow local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability and providing a long station-name string, related to the (1) wvlan_uil_put_info and (2) wvlan_set_station_nickname functions (CVE-2013-4514).

The bcm_char_ioctl function in drivers/staging/bcm/Bcmchar.c in the Linux kernel before 3.12 does not initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via an IOCTL_BCM_GET_DEVICE_DRIVER_INFO ioctl call (CVE-2013-4515).

Memory leak in the __kvm_set_memory_region function in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c in the Linux kernel before 3.9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by leveraging certain device access to trigger movement of memory slots (CVE-2013-4592).

The lbs_debugfs_write function in drivers/net/wireless/libertas/debugfs.c in the Linux kernel through 3.12.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) by leveraging root privileges for a zero-length write operation (CVE-2013-6378).

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-2013-6380).

Buffer overflow in the qeth_snmp_command function in drivers/s390/net/qeth_core_main.c in the Linux kernel through 3.12.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via an SNMP ioctl call with a length value that is incompatible with the command-buffer size (CVE-2013-6381).

The aac_compat_ioctl function in drivers/scsi/aacraid/linit.c in the Linux kernel before 3.11.8 does not require the CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted ioctl call (CVE-2013-6383).

The uio_mmap_physical function in drivers/uio/uio.c in the Linux kernel before 3.12 does not validate the size of a memory block, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly gain privileges via crafted mmap operations, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-4511 (CVE-2013-6763).
