  - kernel: Buffer overflow due to unbounded strcpy in ISDN I4L driver (CVE-2017-12762)

  - kernel: buffer-overflow hardening in WiFi beacon validation code. (CVE-2019-16746)

  - include/linux/init_task.h in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35 does not prevent signals with a process group     ID of zero from reaching the swapper process, which allows local users to cause a denial of service     (system crash) by leveraging access to this process group. (CVE-2010-5328)

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 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The usbvision driver in the Linux kernel package 3.10.0-123.20.1.el7 through 3.10.0-229.14.1.el7 in Red     Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.1 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (panic)     via a nonzero bInterfaceNumber value in a USB device descriptor. (CVE-2015-7833)

  - arch/arm64/kernel/sys.c in the Linux kernel before 4.0 allows local users to bypass the 'strict page     permissions' protection mechanism and modify the system-call table, and consequently gain privileges, by     leveraging write access. (CVE-2015-8967)

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.1.4, a buffer overflow occurs when checking userspace params in     drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cx24116.c. The maximum size for a DiSEqC command is 6, according to the     userspace API. However, the code allows larger values such as 23. (CVE-2015-9289)

  - The evm_verify_hmac function in security/integrity/evm/evm_main.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5 does not     properly copy data, which makes it easier for local users to forge MAC values via a timing side-channel     attack. (CVE-2016-2085)

  - The rtnl_fill_link_ifmap function in net/core/rtnetlink.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.5 does not     initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel     stack memory by reading a Netlink message. (CVE-2016-4486)

  - Race condition in the sclp_ctl_ioctl_sccb function in drivers/s390/char/sclp_ctl.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.6 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by changing a certain     length value, aka a 'double fetch' vulnerability. (CVE-2016-6130)

  - A buffer overflow flaw was found, in versions from 2.6.34 to 5.2.x, in the way Linux kernel's vhost     functionality that translates virtqueue buffers to IOVs, logged the buffer descriptors during migration. A     privileged guest user able to pass descriptors with invalid length to the host when migration is underway,     could use this flaw to increase their privileges on the host. (CVE-2019-14835)

  - In do_epoll_ctl and ep_loop_check_proc of eventpoll.c, there is a possible use after free due to a logic     error. 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-147802478References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2020-0466)

  - A race condition was found in the Linux kernels implementation of the floppy disk drive controller driver     software. The impact of this issue is lessened by the fact that the default permissions on the floppy     device (/dev/fd0) are restricted to root. If the permissions on the device have changed the impact changes     greatly. In the default configuration root (or equivalent) permissions are required to attack this flaw.
    (CVE-2021-20261)

  - There is a flaw reported in the Linux kernel in versions before 5.9 in     drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_sgdma.c in nouveau_sgdma_create_ttm in Nouveau DRM subsystem. The issue     results from the lack of validating the existence of an object prior to performing operations on the     object. An attacker with a local account with a root privilege, can leverage this vulnerability to     escalate privileges and execute code in the context of the kernel. (CVE-2021-20292)

  - A heap out-of-bounds write affecting Linux since v2.6.19-rc1 was discovered in net/netfilter/x_tables.c.
    This allows an attacker to gain privileges or cause a DoS (via heap memory corruption) through user name     space (CVE-2021-22555)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. A kernel pointer leak can be used to determine     the address of the iscsi_transport structure. When an iSCSI transport is registered with the iSCSI     subsystem, the transport's handle is available to unprivileged users via the sysfs file system, at     /sys/class/iscsi_transport/$TRANSPORT_NAME/handle. When read, the show_transport_handle function (in     drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c) is called, which leaks the handle. This handle is actually the     pointer to an iscsi_transport struct in the kernel module's global variables. (CVE-2021-27363)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c is     adversely affected by the ability of an unprivileged user to craft Netlink messages. (CVE-2021-27364)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. Certain iSCSI data structures do not have     appropriate length constraints or checks, and can exceed the PAGE_SIZE value. An unprivileged user can     send a Netlink message that is associated with iSCSI, and has a length up to the maximum length of a     Netlink message. (CVE-2021-27365)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.3 when a webcam device exists. video_usercopy in     drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c has a memory leak for large arguments, aka CID-fb18802a338b.
    (CVE-2021-30002)

  - ** DISPUTED ** fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c in the Linux kernel through 5.10.8, when there is an NFS export of a     subdirectory of a filesystem, allows remote attackers to traverse to other parts of the filesystem via     READDIRPLUS. NOTE: some parties argue that such a subdirectory export is not intended to prevent this     attack; see also the exports(5) no_subtree_check default behavior. (CVE-2021-3178)

  - An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory write flaw was found in list_devices in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c in the Multi-     device driver module in the Linux kernel before 5.12. A bound check failure allows an attacker with     special user (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) privilege to gain access to out-of-bounds memory leading to a system crash or     a leak of internal kernel information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system     availability. (CVE-2021-31916)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.11.14 has a use-after-free in cipso_v4_genopt in net/ipv4/cipso_ipv4.c because     the CIPSO and CALIPSO refcounting for the DOI definitions is mishandled, aka CID-ad5d07f4a9cd. This leads     to writing an arbitrary value. (CVE-2021-33033)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.10.11. PI futexes have a kernel stack use-after-free     during fault handling, allowing local users to execute code in the kernel, aka CID-34b1a1ce1458.
    (CVE-2021-3347)

  - fs/seq_file.c in the Linux kernel 3.16 through 5.13.x before 5.13.4 does not properly restrict seq buffer     allocations, leading to an integer overflow, an Out-of-bounds Write, and escalation to root by an     unprivileged user, aka CID-8cae8cd89f05. (CVE-2021-33909)

  - A flaw was found in the Nosy driver in the Linux kernel. This issue allows a device to be inserted twice     into a doubly-linked list, leading to a use-after-free when one of these devices is removed. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. Versions     before kernel 5.12-rc6 are affected (CVE-2021-3483)

  - kernel/module.c in the Linux kernel before 5.12.14 mishandles Signature Verification, aka     CID-0c18f29aae7c. Without CONFIG_MODULE_SIG, verification that a kernel module is signed, for loading via     init_module, does not occur for a module.sig_enforce=1 command-line argument. (CVE-2021-35039)

The openSUSE 13.1 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

Following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2016-0728: A reference leak in keyring handling with     join_session_keyring() could lead to local attackers     gain root privileges. (bsc#962075).

  - CVE-2015-7550: A local user could have triggered a race     between read and revoke in keyctl (bnc#958951).

  - CVE-2015-8569: The (1) pptp_bind and (2) pptp_connect     functions in drivers/net/ppp/pptp.c in the Linux kernel     did not verify an address length, which allowed local     users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory     and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism via a crafted     application (bnc#959190).

  - CVE-2015-8543: The networking implementation in the     Linux kernel did not validate protocol identifiers for     certain protocol families, which allowed local users to     cause a denial of service (NULL function pointer     dereference and system crash) or possibly gain     privileges by leveraging CLONE_NEWUSER support to     execute a crafted SOCK_RAW application (bnc#958886).

  - CVE-2014-8989: The Linux kernel did not properly     restrict dropping of supplemental group memberships in     certain namespace scenarios, which allowed 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 (bnc#906545).

  - CVE-2015-5157: arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S in the Linux     kernel on the x86_64 platform mishandles IRET faults in     processing NMIs that occurred during userspace     execution, which might allow local users to gain     privileges by triggering an NMI (bnc#937969).

  - CVE-2015-7799: The slhc_init function in     drivers/net/slip/slhc.c in the Linux kernel through     4.2.3 did not ensure that certain slot numbers are     valid, which allowed local users to cause a denial of     service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via     a crafted PPPIOCSMAXCID ioctl call (bnc#949936).

  - CVE-2015-8104: The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel     through 4.2.6, and Xen 4.3.x through 4.6.x, allowed     guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS     panic or hang) by triggering many #DB (aka Debug)     exceptions, related to svm.c (bnc#954404).

  - CVE-2015-5307: The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel     through 4.2.6, and Xen 4.3.x through 4.6.x, allowed     guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS     panic or hang) by triggering many #AC (aka Alignment     Check) exceptions, related to svm.c and vmx.c     (bnc#953527).

  - CVE-2014-9529: Race condition in the key_gc_unused_keys     function in security/keys/gc.c in the Linux kernel     allowed 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     (bnc#912202).

  - CVE-2015-7990: Race condition in the rds_sendmsg     function in net/rds/sendmsg.c in the Linux kernel     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL     pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact by using a socket that was not     properly bound. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because     of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-6937 (bnc#952384     953052).

  - CVE-2015-6937: The __rds_conn_create function in     net/rds/connection.c in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact by using a socket that was not     properly bound (bnc#945825).

  - CVE-2015-7885: The dgnc_mgmt_ioctl function in     drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc_mgmt.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.3.3 did not initialize a certain structure     member, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory via a crafted application     (bnc#951627).

  - CVE-2015-8215: net/ipv6/addrconf.c in the IPv6 stack in     the Linux kernel did not validate attempted changes to     the MTU value, which allowed context-dependent attackers     to cause a denial of service (packet loss) via a value     that is (1) smaller than the minimum compliant value or     (2) larger than the MTU of an interface, as demonstrated     by a Router Advertisement (RA) message that is not     validated by a daemon, a different vulnerability than     CVE-2015-0272. NOTE: the scope of CVE-2015-0272 is     limited to the NetworkManager product (bnc#955354).

  - CVE-2015-8767: A case can occur when sctp_accept() is     called by the user during a heartbeat timeout event     after the 4-way handshake. Since sctp_assoc_migrate()     changes both assoc->base.sk and assoc->ep, the     bh_sock_lock in sctp_generate_heartbeat_event() will be     taken with the listening socket but released with the     new association socket. The result is a deadlock on any     future attempts to take the listening socket lock.
    (bsc#961509)

  - CVE-2015-8575: Validate socket address length in     sco_sock_bind() to prevent information leak     (bsc#959399).

  - CVE-2015-8551, CVE-2015-8552: xen/pciback: For     XEN_PCI_OP_disable_msi[|x] only disable if device has     MSI(X) enabled (bsc#957990).

  - CVE-2015-8550: Compiler optimizations in the XEN PV     backend drivers could have lead to double fetch     vulnerabilities, causing denial of service or arbitrary     code execution (depending on the configuration)     (bsc#957988).

This update fixes the CVEs described below.

CVE-2013-7446

Dmitry Vyukov discovered that a particular sequence of valid operations on local (AF_UNIX) sockets can result in a use-after-free.
This may be used to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2015-7799

&#x90ED;&#x6C38;&#x521A; discovered that a user granted access to /dev/ppp can cause a denial of service (crash) by passing invalid parameters to the PPPIOCSMAXCID ioctl. This also applies to ISDN PPP device nodes.

CVE-2015-7833

Sergej Schumilo, Hendrik Schwartke and Ralf Spenneberg discovered a flaw in the processing of certain USB device descriptors in the usbvision driver. An attacker with physical access to the system can use this flaw to crash the system.

CVE-2015-7990

It was discovered that the fix for CVE-2015-6937 was incomplete. A race condition when sending a message on unbound socket can still cause a NULL pointer dereference. A remote attacker might be able to cause a denial of service (crash) by sending a crafted packet.

CVE-2015-8324

'Valintinr' reported that an attempt to mount a corrupted ext4 filesystem may result in a kernel panic. A user permitted to mount filesystems could use this flaw to crash the system.

For the oldoldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 2.6.32-48squeeze17. We recommend that you upgrade your linux-2.6 packages.

For the oldstable (wheezy) and stable (jessie) distributions, CVE-2015-7833, CVE-2015-7990 and CVE-2015-8324 have been fixed and the other issues will be fixed soon.

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 denial of service.

  - CVE-2015-5307     Ben Serebrin from Google discovered a guest to host     denial of service flaw affecting the KVM hypervisor. A     malicious guest can trigger an infinite stream of     'alignment check' (#AC) exceptions causing the processor     microcode to enter an infinite loop where the core never     receives another interrupt. This leads to a panic of the     host kernel.

  - CVE-2015-7833     Sergej Schumilo, Hendrik Schwartke and Ralf Spenneberg     discovered a flaw in the processing of certain USB     device descriptors in the usbvision driver. An attacker     with physical access to the system can use this flaw to     crash the system.

  - CVE-2015-7872     Dmitry Vyukov discovered a vulnerability in the keyrings     garbage collector allowing a local user to trigger a     kernel panic.

  - CVE-2015-7990     It was discovered that the fix for CVE-2015-6937 was     incomplete. A race condition when sending a message on     unbound socket can still cause a NULL pointer     dereference. A remote attacker might be able to cause a     denial of service (crash) by sending a crafted packet.
