arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.17.2 on Intel processors does not ensure that the value in the CR4 control register remains the same after a VM entry, which allows host OS users to kill arbitrary processes or cause a denial of service (system disruption) by leveraging /dev/kvm access, as demonstrated by PR_SET_TSC prctl calls within a modified copy of QEMU.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - qemu: insufficient parameter validation during ram load (CVE-2014-7840)

  - Qemu: net: buffer overflow in MIPSnet emulator (CVE-2016-4002)

  - The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.0 does not check whether kernel addresses are specified     during allocation of memory slots for use in a guest's physical address space, which allows local users to     gain privileges or obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a crafted application, related to     arch/x86/kvm/paging_tmpl.h and virt/kvm/kvm_main.c. (CVE-2013-1943)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

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

  - CVE-2014-7841: The sctp_process_param function in     net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c in the SCTP implementation in     the Linux kernel before 3.17.4, when ASCONF is used,     allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a     malformed INIT chunk (bnc#905100).

  - CVE-2014-7842: Race condition in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in     the Linux kernel before 3.17.4 allowed guest OS users to     cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) via a crafted     application that performs an MMIO transaction or a PIO     transaction to trigger a guest userspace emulation error     report, a similar issue to CVE-2010-5313 (bnc#905312).

  - CVE-2014-8134: The paravirt_ops_setup function in     arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18     uses an improper paravirt_enabled setting for KVM guest     kernels, which made it easier for guest OS users to     bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted     application that reads a 16-bit value (bnc#909078).

  - CVE-2014-8369: The kvm_iommu_map_pages function in     virt/kvm/iommu.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2     miscalculates the number of pages during the handling of     a mapping failure, which allowed guest OS users to cause     a denial of service (host OS page unpinning) or possibly     have unspecified other impact by leveraging guest OS     privileges. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of     an incorrect fix for CVE-2014-3601 (bnc#902675).

  - CVE-2014-8559: The d_walk function in fs/dcache.c in the     Linux kernel through 3.17.2 did not properly maintain     the semantics of rename_lock, which allowed local users     to cause a denial of service (deadlock and system hang)     via a crafted application (bnc#903640).

  - CVE-2014-8709: The ieee80211_fragment function in     net/mac80211/tx.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13.5 did     not properly maintain a certain tail pointer, which     allowed remote attackers to obtain sensitive cleartext     information by reading packets (bnc#904700).

  - CVE-2014-9584: The parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal     function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel before     3.18.2 did not validate a length value in the Extensions     Reference (ER) System Use Field, which allowed local     users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory     via a crafted iso9660 image (bnc#912654).

  - CVE-2014-9585: The vdso_addr function in     arch/x86/vdso/vma.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18.2     did not properly choose memory locations for the vDSO     area, which made it easier for local users to bypass the     ASLR protection mechanism by guessing a location at the     end of a PMD (bnc#912705).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 kernel was updated to 3.12.36 to receive various security and bugfixes.

Following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2014-8559: The d_walk function in fs/dcache.c in the     Linux kernel through 3.17.2 did not properly maintain     the semantics of rename_lock, which allowed local users     to cause a denial of service (deadlock and system hang)     via a crafted application (bnc#903640).

  - CVE-2014-9420: The rock_continue function in     fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18.1 did     not restrict the number of Rock Ridge continuation     entries, which allowed local users to cause a denial of     service (infinite loop, and system crash or hang) via a     crafted iso9660 image (bnc#906545 911325).

  - CVE-2014-3690: arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the KVM subsystem     in the Linux kernel before 3.17.2 on Intel processors     did not ensure that the value in the CR4 control     register remained the same after a VM entry, which     allowed host OS users to kill arbitrary processes or     cause a denial of service (system disruption) by     leveraging /dev/kvm access, as demonstrated by     PR_SET_TSC prctl calls within a modified copy of QEMU     (bnc#902232).

  - CVE-2014-3687: The sctp_assoc_lookup_asconf_ack function     in net/sctp/associola.c in the SCTP implementation in     the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 allowed remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (panic) via duplicate     ASCONF chunks that triggered an incorrect uncork within     the side-effect interpreter (bnc#902349).

  - CVE-2014-9585: The vdso_addr function in     arch/x86/vdso/vma.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18.2     did not properly choose memory locations for the vDSO     area, which made it easier for local users to bypass the     ASLR protection mechanism by guessing a location at the     end of a PMD (bnc#912705).

Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues and several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Red Hat Product Security 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.

* A flaw was found in the way seunshare, a utility for running executables under a different security context, used the capng_lock functionality of the libcap-ng library. The subsequent invocation of suid root binaries that relied on the fact that the setuid() system call, among others, also sets the saved set-user-ID when dropping the binaries' process privileges, could allow a local, unprivileged user to potentially escalate their privileges on the system. Note: the fix for this issue is the kernel part of the overall fix, and introduces the PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS functionality and the related SELinux exec transitions support. (CVE-2014-3215, Important)

* A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's SCTP implementation handled authentication key reference counting during INIT collisions. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system.
(CVE-2015-1421, Important)

An attacker able to continuously spawn new processes within a single memory-constrained cgroup during an OOM event could use this flaw to lock up the system. (CVE-2014-8171, Moderate)

* A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel keys management subsystem performed key garbage collection. A local attacker could attempt accessing a key while it was being garbage collected, which would cause the system to crash. (CVE-2014-9529, Moderate)

* A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the TechnoTrend/Hauppauge DEC USB device driver. A local user with write access to the corresponding device could use this flaw to crash the kernel or, potentially, elevate their privileges on the system.
(CVE-2014-8884, Low)

* An information leak flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's ISO9660 file system implementation accessed data on an ISO9660 image with RockRidge Extension Reference (ER) records. An attacker with physical access to the system could use this flaw to disclose up to 255 bytes of kernel memory. (CVE-2014-9584, Low)

Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues and several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 Extended Update Support.

Red Hat Product Security 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.

* It was found that the Linux kernel's Infiniband subsystem did not properly sanitize input parameters while registering memory regions from user space via the (u)verbs API. A local user with access to a /dev/infiniband/uverbsX device could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system.
(CVE-2014-8159, Important)

* A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's SCTP implementation handled authentication key reference counting during INIT collisions. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system.
(CVE-2015-1421, Important)

* An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Frame Buffer device implementation mapped kernel memory to user space via the mmap syscall. A local user able to access a frame buffer device file (/dev/fb*) could possibly use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2013-2596, Important)

* 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-2014-3690, Moderate)

* It was found that the parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal() function of the Linux kernel's ISOFS implementation did not correctly check relocated directories when processing Rock Ridge child link (CL) tags.
An attacker with physical access to the system could use a specially crafted ISO image to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2014-5471, CVE-2014-5472, Low)

* A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the TechnoTrend/Hauppauge DEC USB device driver. A local user with write access to the corresponding device could use this flaw to crash the kernel or, potentially, elevate their privileges on the system.
(CVE-2014-8884, Low)

Red Hat would like to thank Mellanox for reporting CVE-2014-8159, and Andy Lutomirski for reporting CVE-2014-3690. The CVE-2015-1421 issue was discovered by Sun Baoliang of Red Hat.

This update also fixes the following bugs :

* Previously, a NULL pointer check that is needed to prevent an oops in the nfs_async_inode_return_delegation() function was removed. As a consequence, a NFS4 client could terminate unexpectedly. The missing NULL pointer check has been added back, and NFS4 client no longer crashes in this situation. (BZ#1187638)

* Due to unbalanced multicast join and leave processing, the attempt to leave a multicast group that had not previously completed a join became unresponsive. This update resolves multiple locking issues in the IPoIB multicast code that allowed multicast groups to be left before the joining was entirely completed. Now, multicast join and leave failures or lockups no longer occur in the described situation.
(BZ#1187663)

* A failure to leave a multicast group which had previously been joined prevented the attempt to unregister from the 'sa' service.
Multiple locking issues in the IPoIB multicast join and leave processing have been fixed so that leaving a group that has completed its join process is successful. As a result, attempts to unregister from the 'sa' service no longer lock up due to leaked resources.
(BZ#1187665)

* Due to a regression, when large reads which partially extended beyond the end of the underlying device were done, the raw driver returned the EIO error code instead of returning a short read covering the valid part of the device. The underlying source code has been patched, and the raw driver now returns a short read for the remainder of the device. (BZ#1195746)

All kernel users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.

* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's XFS file system handled replacing of remote attributes under certain conditions. A local user with access to XFS file system mount could potentially use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2015-0274, Important)

* 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 denial of service on the system.
(CVE-2014-3690, Moderate)

* A flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's Transparent Huge Pages (THP) implementation handled non-huge page migration. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the kernel by migrating transparent hugepages. (CVE-2014-3940, Moderate)

* An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the syscall tracing functionality of the Linux kernel's perf subsystem. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system.
(CVE-2014-7825, Moderate)

* An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the syscall tracing functionality of the Linux kernel's ftrace subsystem. On a system with ftrace syscall tracing enabled, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system, or escalate their privileges.
(CVE-2014-7826, Moderate)

* 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-2014-8086, Moderate)

* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's netfilter subsystem handled generic protocol tracking. As demonstrated in the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) case, a remote attacker could use this flaw to bypass intended iptables rule restrictions when the associated connection tracking module was not loaded on the system.
(CVE-2014-8160, Moderate)

* It was found that due to excessive files_lock locking, a soft lockup could be triggered in the Linux kernel when performing asynchronous I/O operations. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system. (CVE-2014-8172, Moderate)

* A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's madvise MADV_WILLNEED functionality handled page table locking. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system. (CVE-2014-8173, Moderate)

* An information leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IEEE 802.11 wireless networking implementation. When software encryption was used, a remote attacker could use this flaw to leak up to 8 bytes of plaintext. (CVE-2014-8709, Low)

* A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the TechnoTrend/Hauppauge DEC USB device driver. A local user with write access to the corresponding device could use this flaw to crash the kernel or, potentially, elevate their privileges on the system.
(CVE-2014-8884, Low)

* Users of kernel modules may need to upgrade the module to maintain compatibility.

The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.

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

The Crypto API in the Linux kernel before 3.18.5 allows local users to load arbitrary kernel modules via a bind system call for an AF_ALG socket with a module name in the salg_name field, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-9644 (CVE-2013-7421).

arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.17.2 on Intel processors does not ensure that the value in the CR4 control register remains the same after a VM entry, which allows host OS users to kill arbitrary processes or cause a denial of service (system disruption) by leveraging /dev/kvm access, as demonstrated by PR_SET_TSC prctl calls within a modified copy of QEMU (CVE-2014-3690).

arch/x86/kernel/tls.c in the Thread Local Storage (TLS) implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.18.1 allows local users to bypass the espfix protection mechanism, and consequently makes it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism, via a crafted application that makes a set_thread_area system call and later reads a 16-bit value (CVE-2014-8133).

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto_generic.c in the Linux kernel before 3.18 generates incorrect conntrack entries during handling of certain iptables rule sets for the SCTP, DCCP, GRE, and UDP-Lite protocols, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via packets with disallowed port numbers (CVE-2014-8160).

The Linux kernel through 3.17.4 does not properly restrict dropping of supplemental group memberships in certain namespace scenarios, which allows 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 (CVE-2014-8989).

The __switch_to function in arch/x86/kernel/process_64.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18.1 does not ensure that Thread Local Storage (TLS) descriptors are loaded before proceeding with other steps, which makes it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application that reads a TLS base address (CVE-2014-9419).

The rock_continue function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18.1 does not restrict the number of Rock Ridge continuation entries, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop, and system crash or hang) via a crafted iso9660 image (CVE-2014-9420).

The batadv_frag_merge_packets function in net/batman-adv/fragmentation.c in the B.A.T.M.A.N. implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.18.1 uses an incorrect length field during a calculation of an amount of memory, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (mesh-node system crash) via fragmented packets (CVE-2014-9428).

Race condition in the key_gc_unused_keys function in security/keys/gc.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18.2 allows 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 (CVE-2014-9529).

The parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel before 3.18.2 does not validate a length value in the Extensions Reference (ER) System Use Field, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a crafted iso9660 image (CVE-2014-9584).

The vdso_addr function in arch/x86/vdso/vma.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18.2 does not properly choose memory locations for the vDSO area, which makes it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism by guessing a location at the end of a PMD (CVE-2014-9585).

The Crypto API in the Linux kernel before 3.18.5 allows local users to load arbitrary kernel modules via a bind system call for an AF_ALG socket with a parenthesized module template expression in the salg_name field, as demonstrated by the vfat(aes) expression, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-7421 (CVE-2014-9644).

Off-by-one error in the ecryptfs_decode_from_filename function in fs/ecryptfs/crypto.c in the eCryptfs subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.18.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and system crash) or possibly gain privileges via a crafted filename (CVE-2014-9683).

The em_sysenter function in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel before 3.18.5, when the guest OS lacks SYSENTER MSR initialization, allows guest OS users to gain guest OS privileges or cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) by triggering use of a 16-bit code segment for emulation of a SYSENTER instruction (CVE-2015-0239).

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2015-0290 advisory.

  - arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.17.2 on Intel processors does not     ensure that the value in the CR4 control register remains the same after a VM entry, which allows host OS     users to kill arbitrary processes or cause a denial of service (system disruption) by leveraging /dev/kvm     access, as demonstrated by PR_SET_TSC prctl calls within a modified copy of QEMU. (CVE-2014-3690)

  - The Linux kernel through 3.14.5 does not properly consider the presence of hugetlb entries, which allows     local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or system crash) by accessing certain memory     locations, as demonstrated by triggering a race condition via numa_maps read operations during hugepage     migration, related to fs/proc/task_mmu.c and mm/mempolicy.c. (CVE-2014-3940)

  - kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 does not properly handle private syscall     numbers during use of the perf subsystem, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-     bounds read and OOPS) or bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application. (CVE-2014-7825)

  - kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 does not properly handle private syscall     numbers during use of the ftrace subsystem, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial     of service (invalid pointer dereference) via a crafted application. (CVE-2014-7826)

  - Race condition in the ext4_file_write_iter function in fs/ext4/file.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17     allows local users to cause a denial of service (file unavailability) via a combination of a write action     and an F_SETFL fcntl operation for the O_DIRECT flag. (CVE-2014-8086)

  - net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto_generic.c in the Linux kernel before 3.18 generates incorrect conntrack     entries during handling of certain iptables rule sets for the SCTP, DCCP, GRE, and UDP-Lite protocols,     which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via packets with disallowed port     numbers. (CVE-2014-8160)

  - The filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.13 performs certain operations on lists of     files with an inappropriate locking approach, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (soft     lockup or system crash) via unspecified use of Asynchronous I/O (AIO) operations. (CVE-2014-8172)

  - The pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad function in include/asm-generic/pgtable.h in the Linux kernel     before 3.13 on NUMA systems does not properly determine whether a Page Middle Directory (PMD) entry is a     transparent huge-table entry, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted MADV_WILLNEED     madvise system call that leverages the absence of a page-table lock. (CVE-2014-8173)

  - The ieee80211_fragment function in net/mac80211/tx.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13.5 does not properly     maintain a certain tail pointer, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive cleartext information     by reading packets. (CVE-2014-8709)

  - Stack-based buffer overflow in the ttusbdecfe_dvbs_diseqc_send_master_cmd function in     drivers/media/usb/ttusb-dec/ttusbdecfe.c in the Linux kernel before 3.17.4 allows local users to cause a     denial of service (system crash) or possibly gain privileges via a large message length in an ioctl call.
    (CVE-2014-8884)

  - The XFS implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.15 improperly uses an old size value during remote     attribute replacement, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (transaction overrun and data     corruption) or possibly gain privileges by leveraging XFS filesystem access. (CVE-2015-0274)

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service :

  - CVE-2014-3610     Lars Bull of Google and Nadav Amit reported a flaw in     how KVM handles noncanonical writes to certain MSR     registers. A privileged guest user can exploit this flaw     to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) on the host.

  - CVE-2014-3611     Lars Bull of Google reported a race condition in the PIT     emulation code in KVM. A local guest user with access to     PIT i/o ports could exploit this flaw to cause a denial     of service (crash) on the host.

  - CVE-2014-3645/ CVE-2014-3646     The Advanced Threat Research team at Intel Security     discovered that the KVM subsystem did not handle the VM     exits gracefully for the invept (Invalidate Translations     Derived from EPT) and invvpid (Invalidate Translations     Based on VPID) instructions. On hosts with an Intel     processor and invept/invppid VM exit support, an     unprivileged guest user could use these instructions to     crash the guest.

  - CVE-2014-3647     Nadav Amit reported that KVM mishandles noncanonical     addresses when emulating instructions that change rip,     potentially causing a failed VM-entry. A guest user with     access to I/O or the MMIO can use this flaw to cause a     denial of service (system crash) of the guest.

  - CVE-2014-3673     Liu Wei of Red Hat discovered a flaw in     net/core/skbuff.c leading to a kernel panic when     receiving malformed ASCONF chunks. A remote attacker     could use this flaw to crash the system.

  - CVE-2014-3687     A flaw in the sctp stack was discovered leading to a     kernel panic when receiving duplicate ASCONF chunks. A     remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system.

  - CVE-2014-3688     It was found that the sctp stack is prone to a remotely     triggerable memory pressure issue caused by excessive     queueing. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause     denial-of-service conditions on the system.

  - CVE-2014-3690     Andy Lutomirski discovered that incorrect register     handling in KVM may lead to denial of service.

  - CVE-2014-7207     Several Debian developers reported an issue in the IPv6     networking subsystem. A local user with access to tun or     macvtap devices, or a virtual machine connected to such     a device, can cause a denial of service (system crash).

This update includes a bug fix related to CVE-2014-7207 that disables UFO (UDP Fragmentation Offload) in the macvtap, tun, and virtio_net drivers. This will cause migration of a running VM from a host running an earlier kernel version to a host running this kernel version to fail, if the VM has been assigned a virtio network device. In order to migrate such a VM, it must be shut down first.
