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 :

  - Mounting a crafted EXT4 image read-only leads to an     attacker controlled memory corruption and     SLAB-Out-of-Bounds reads.(CVE-2016-10208i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the hwpoison implementation     in mm/memory-failure.c in the Linux kernel before     5.0.4. When soft_offline_in_use_page() runs on a thp     tail page after pmd is split, an attacker can cause a     denial of service (BUG).(CVE-2019-10124i1/4%0

  - A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the     Linux kernel's early load microcode functionality. On a     system with UEFI Secure Boot enabled, a local,     privileged user could use this flaw to increase their     privileges to the kernel (ring0) level, bypassing     intended restrictions in place.(CVE-2015-2666i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's     networking subsystem handled offloaded packets with     multiple layers of encapsulation in the GRO (Generic     Receive Offload) code path. A remote attacker could use     this flaw to trigger unbounded recursion in the kernel     that could lead to stack corruption, resulting in a     system crash.(CVE-2016-8666i1/4%0

  - The ethtool_get_wol function in net/core/ethtool.c in     the Linux kernel through 4.7, as used in Android before     2016-08-05 on Nexus 5 and 7 (2013) devices, does not     initialize a certain data structure, which allows local     users to obtain sensitive information via a crafted     application, aka Android internal bug 28803952 and     Qualcomm internal bug CR570754.(CVE-2014-9900i1/4%0

  - A vulnerability was found in crypto/ahash.c in the     Linux kernel which allows attackers to cause a denial     of service (API operation calling its own callback, and     infinite recursion) by triggering EBUSY on a full     queue.(CVE-2017-7618i1/4%0

  - drivers/misc/qseecom.c in the QSEECOM driver for the     Linux kernel 3.x, as used in Qualcomm Innovation Center     (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM devices and other     products, does not validate certain offset, length, and     base values within an ioctl call, which allows     attackers to gain privileges or cause a denial of     service (memory corruption) via a crafted     application.(CVE-2014-4322i1/4%0

  - An integer overflow vulnerability was found in the     Linux kernel in xt_alloc_table_info, which on 32-bit     systems can lead to small structure allocation and a     copy_from_user based heap corruption.(CVE-2016-3135i1/4%0

  - Stack-based buffer overflow in the     supply_lm_input_write function in     drivers/thermal/supply_lm_core.c in the MSM Thermal     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 cause a     denial of service or possibly have unspecified other     impact via a crafted application that sends a large     amount of data through the debugfs     interface.(CVE-2016-2063i1/4%0

  - The l2tp_ip_recvmsg function in net/l2tp/l2tp_ip.c in     the Linux kernel before 3.12.4 updates a certain length     value before ensuring that an associated data structure     has been initialized, which allows local users to     obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory     via a (1) recvfrom, (2) recvmmsg, or (3) recvmsg system     call.(CVE-2013-7264i1/4%0

  - A bypass was found for the Spectre v1 hardening in the     eBPF engine of the Linux kernel. The code in the     kernel/bpf/verifier.c performs undesirable     out-of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic in     various cases, including cases of different branches     with different state or limits to sanitize, leading to     side-channel attacks.(CVE-2019-7308i1/4%0

  - The tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock function in     net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c in the Linux kernel mishandles     inheritance, which allows local users to cause a denial     of service or possibly have unspecified other impact     via crafted system calls, a related issue to     CVE-2017-8890. An unprivileged local user could use     this flaw to induce kernel memory corruption on the     system, leading to a crash. Due to the nature of the     flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out,     although we believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2017-9077i1/4%0

  - The cgroup offline implementation in the Linux kernel     through 4.8.11 mishandles certain drain operations,     which allows local users to cause a denial of service     (system hang) by leveraging access to a container     environment for executing a crafted application, as     demonstrated by trinity.(CVE-2016-9191i1/4%0

  - The KVM implementation in the Linux kernel through     4.20.5 has a Use-after-Free.(CVE-2019-7221i1/4%0

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way     the Linux kernel's network subsystem handled socket     creation with an invalid protocol identifier. A local     user could use this flaw to crash the     system.(CVE-2015-8543i1/4%0

  - The drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb-v2/lmedm04.c in the Linux     kernel, through 4.13.11, allows local users to cause a     denial of service (general protection fault and system     crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a     crafted USB device, related to a missing warm-start     check and incorrect attach timing     (dm04_lme2510_frontend_attach versus     dm04_lme2510_tuner).(CVE-2017-16538i1/4%0

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA)     implementation handled user controls. A local,     privileged user could use this flaw to crash the     system.(CVE-2014-4653i1/4%0

  - A vulnerability leading to a local privilege escalation     was found in apparmor in the Linux kernel. When     proc_pid_attr_write() was changed to use memdup_user     apparmor's (interface violating) assumption that the     setprocattr buffer was always a single page was     violated.(CVE-2016-6187i1/4%0

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel in     'tmpfs' file system. When file permissions are modified     via 'chmod' and the user is not in the owning group or     capable of CAP_FSETID, the setgid bit is cleared in     inode_change_ok(). 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     allows to bypass the check in 'chmod'.(CVE-2017-5551i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel in the     ucma_leave_multicast() function in     drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c which allows access to a     certain data structure after freeing it in     ucma_process_join(). This allows an attacker to cause a     use-after-free bug and to induce kernel memory     corruption, leading to a system crash or other     unspecified impact. Due to the nature of the flaw,     privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out,     although we believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2018-14734i1/4%0

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The usbhid_parse function in     drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c in the Linux kernel,     before 4.13.8, allows local users to cause a denial of     service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted     USB device.(CVE-2017-16533)

  - The cdc_parse_cdc_header() function in     'drivers/usb/core/message.c' in the Linux kernel,     before 4.13.6, allows local users to cause a denial of     service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted     USB device. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege     escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we     believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2017-16534)

  - The usb_get_bos_descriptor function in     drivers/usb/core/config.c in the Linux kernel can allow     a local users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted USB     device.(CVE-2017-16535)

  - The cx231xx_usb_probe function in     drivers/media/usb/cx231xx/cx231xx-cards.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.13.11 allows local users to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system     crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a     crafted USB device.(CVE-2017-16536)

  - The imon_probe function in drivers/media/rc/imon.c in     the Linux kernel through 4.13.11 allows local users to     cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and     system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact     via a crafted USB device.(CVE-2017-16537)

  - The drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb-v2/lmedm04.c in the Linux     kernel, through 4.13.11, allows local users to cause a     denial of service (general protection fault and system     crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a     crafted USB device, related to a missing warm-start     check and incorrect attach timing     (dm04_lme2510_frontend_attach versus     dm04_lme2510_tuner).(CVE-2017-16538)

  - The parse_hid_report_descriptor function in     drivers/input/tablet/gtco.c in the Linux kernel before     4.13.11 allows local users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted USB     device.(CVE-2017-16643)

  - The hdpvr_probe function in     drivers/media/usb/hdpvr/hdpvr-core.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.13.11 allows local users to cause a     denial of service (improper error handling and system     crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a     crafted USB device.(CVE-2017-16644)

  - The ims_pcu_get_cdc_union_desc function in     drivers/input/misc/ims-pcu.c in the Linux kernel,     through 4.13.11, allows local users to cause a denial     of service (ims_pcu_parse_cdc_data out-of-bounds read     and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other     impact via a crafted USB device.(CVE-2017-16645)

  - The usbnet_generic_cdc_bind function in     drivers/net/usb/cdc_ether.c in the Linux kernel through     4.13.11 allows local users to cause a denial of service     (divide-by-zero error and system crash) or possibly     have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB     device.(CVE-2017-16649)

  - The qmi_wwan_bind function in     drivers/net/usb/qmi_wwan.c in the Linux kernel through     4.13.11 allows local users to cause a denial of service     (divide-by-zero error and system crash) or possibly     have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB     device.(CVE-2017-16650)

  - The Linux kernel is vulerable to a use-after-free flaw     when Transformation User configuration     interface(CONFIG_XFRM_USER) compile-time configuration     were enabled. This vulnerability occurs while closing a     xfrm netlink socket in xfrm_dump_policy_done. A     user/process could abuse this flaw to potentially     escalate their privileges on a system.(CVE-2017-16939)

  - The net/netfilter/nfnetlink_cthelper.c function in the     Linux kernel through 4.14.4 does not require the     CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for new, get, and del     operations. This allows local users to bypass intended     access restrictions because the nfnl_cthelper_list data     structure is shared across all net     namespaces.(CVE-2017-17448)

  - The __netlink_deliver_tap_skb function in     net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel, through     4.14.4, does not restrict observations of Netlink     messages to a single net namespace, when CONFIG_NLMON     is enabled. This allows local users to obtain sensitive     information by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     to sniff an nlmon interface for all Netlink activity on     the system.(CVE-2017-17449)

  - net/netfilter/xt_osf.c in the Linux kernel through     4.14.4 does not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     for add_callback and remove_callback operations. This     allows local users to bypass intended access     restrictions because the xt_osf_fingers data structure     is shared across all network     namespaces.(CVE-2017-17450)

  - The usb_destroy_configuration() function, in     'drivers/usb/core/config.c' in the USB core subsystem,     in the Linux kernel through 4.14.5 does not consider     the maximum number of configurations and interfaces     before attempting to release resources. This allows     local users to cause a denial of service, due to     out-of-bounds write access, or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device. Due     to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot     be fully ruled out, although we believe it is     unlikely.(CVE-2017-17558)

  - The Salsa20 encryption algorithm in the Linux kernel,     before 4.14.8, does not correctly handle zero-length     inputs. This allows a local attacker the ability to use     the AF_ALG-based skcipher interface to cause a denial     of service (uninitialized-memory free and kernel crash)     or have an unspecified other impact by executing a     crafted sequence of system calls that use the     blkcipher_walk API. Both the generic implementation     (crypto/salsa20_generic.c) and x86 implementation     (arch/x86/crypto/salsa20_glue.c) of Salsa20 are     vulnerable.(CVE-2017-17805)

  - The HMAC implementation (crypto/hmac.c) in the Linux     kernel, before 4.14.8, does not validate that the     underlying cryptographic hash algorithm is unkeyed.
    This allows a local attacker, able to use the     AF_ALG-based hash interface     (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH) and the SHA-3 hash     algorithm (CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA3), to cause a kernel stack     buffer overflow by executing a crafted sequence of     system calls that encounter a missing SHA-3     initialization.(CVE-2017-17806)

  - The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel omitted an     access-control check when writing a key to the current     task's default keyring, allowing a local user to bypass     security checks to the keyring. This compromises the     validity of the keyring for those who rely on     it.(CVE-2017-17807)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of i8042 serial ports. An attacker could cause a kernel     panic if they are able to add and remove devices as the     module is loaded.(CVE-2017-18079)

  - The Linux kernel, before version 4.14.3, is vulnerable     to a denial of service in     drivers/md/dm.c:dm_get_from_kobject() which can be     caused by local users leveraging a race condition with
    __dm_destroy() during creation and removal of DM     devices. Only privileged local users (with     CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability) can directly perform the     ioctl operations for dm device creation and removal and     this would typically be outside the direct control of     the unprivileged attacker.(CVE-2017-18203)

  - The madvise_willneed function in the Linux kernel     allows local users to cause a denial of service     (infinite loop) by triggering use of MADVISE_WILLNEED     for a DAX mapping.(CVE-2017-18208)

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 SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 GA LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. This update adds mitigations for various side channel attacks against modern CPUs that could disclose content of otherwise unreadable memory (bnc#1068032).

  - CVE-2017-5753 / 'SpectreAttack': Local attackers on     systems with modern CPUs featuring deep instruction     pipelining could use attacker controllable speculative     execution over code patterns in the Linux Kernel to leak     content from otherwise not readable memory in the same     address space, allowing retrieval of passwords,     cryptographic keys and other secrets. This problem is     mitigated by adding speculative fencing on affected code     paths throughout the Linux kernel. This issue is     addressed for the x86_64, the IBM Power and IBM zSeries     architecture.

  - CVE-2017-5715 / 'SpectreAttack': Local attackers on     systems with modern CPUs featuring branch prediction     could use mispredicted branches to speculatively execute     code patterns that in turn could be made to leak other     non-readable content in the same address space, an     attack similar to CVE-2017-5753. This problem is     mitigated by disabling predictive branches, depending on     CPU architecture either by firmware updates and/or fixes     in the user-kernel privilege boundaries. This is done     with help of Linux Kernel fixes on the Intel/AMD x86_64     and IBM zSeries architectures. On x86_64, this requires     also updates of the CPU microcode packages, delivered in     separate updates. For IBM Power and zSeries the required     firmware updates are supplied over regular channels by     IBM. As this feature can have a performance impact, it     can be disabled using the 'nospec' kernel commandline     option.

  - CVE-2017-5754 / 'MeltdownAttack': Local attackers on     systems with modern CPUs featuring deep instruction     pipelining could use code patterns in userspace to     speculative executive code that would read otherwise     read protected memory, an attack similar to     CVE-2017-5753. This problem is mitigated by unmapping     the Linux Kernel from the user address space during user     code execution, following a approach called 'KAISER'.
    The terms used here are 'KAISER' / 'Kernel Address     Isolation' and 'PTI' / 'Page Table Isolation'. This     update does this on the x86_64 architecture, it is not     required on the IBM zSeries architecture. This feature     can be enabled / disabled by the 'pti=[on|off|auto]' or     'nopti' commandline options. The following security bugs     were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-15868: The bnep_add_connection function in     net/bluetooth/bnep/core.c in the Linux kernel did not     ensure that an l2cap socket is available, which allowed     local users to gain privileges via a crafted application     (bnc#1071470).

  - CVE-2017-13167: An elevation of privilege vulnerability     in the kernel sound timer. (bnc#1072876).

  - CVE-2017-16538: drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb-v2/lmedm04.c     in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a     denial of service (general protection fault and system     crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a     crafted USB device, related to a missing warm-start     check and incorrect attach timing     (dm04_lme2510_frontend_attach versus dm04_lme2510_tuner)     (bnc#1066569).

  - CVE-2017-17558: The usb_destroy_configuration function     in drivers/usb/core/config.c in the USB core subsystem     in the Linux kernel did not consider the maximum number     of configurations and interfaces before attempting to     release resources, which allowed local users to cause a     denial of service (out-of-bounds write access) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB     device (bnc#1072561).

  - CVE-2017-17450: net/netfilter/xt_osf.c in the Linux     kernel did not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for     add_callback and remove_callback operations, which     allowed local users to bypass intended access     restrictions because the xt_osf_fingers data structure     is shared across all net namespaces (bnc#1071695).

  - CVE-2017-17449: The __netlink_deliver_tap_skb function     in net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel through     4.14.4, when CONFIG_NLMON is enabled, did not restrict     observations of Netlink messages to a single net     namespace, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     to sniff an nlmon interface for all Netlink activity on     the system (bnc#1071694).

  - CVE-2017-17448: net/netfilter/nfnetlink_cthelper.c in     the Linux kernel did not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN     capability for new, get, and del operations, which     allowed local users to bypass intended access     restrictions because the nfnl_cthelper_list data     structure is shared across all net namespaces     (bnc#1071693).

  - CVE-2017-8824: The dccp_disconnect function in     net/dccp/proto.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users     to gain privileges or cause a denial of service     (use-after-free) via an AF_UNSPEC connect system call     during the DCCP_LISTEN state (bnc#1070771).

  - CVE-2017-15115: The sctp_do_peeloff function in     net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel did not check     whether the intended netns is used in a peel-off action,     which allowed local users to cause a denial of service     (use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via crafted system calls     (bnc#1068671).

  - CVE-2017-11600: net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.12.3, when CONFIG_XFRM_MIGRATE is     enabled, did not ensure that the dir value of     xfrm_userpolicy_id is XFRM_POLICY_MAX or less, which     allowed local users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds access) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via an XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE xfrm Netlink     message (bnc#1050231).

  - CVE-2017-16534: The cdc_parse_cdc_header function in     drivers/usb/core/message.c in the Linux kernel allowed     local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds     read and system crash) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via a crafted USB device (bnc#1066693).

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

  - CVE-2017-5754     Multiple researchers have discovered a vulnerability in     Intel processors, enabling an attacker controlling an     unprivileged process to read memory from arbitrary     addresses, including from the kernel and all other     processes running on the system.

  This specific attack has been named Meltdown and is addressed in the   Linux kernel for the Intel x86-64 architecture by a patch set named   Kernel Page Table Isolation, enforcing a near complete separation of   the kernel and userspace address maps and preventing the attack.
  This solution might have a performance impact, and can be disabled   at boot time by passing pti=off to the kernel command line.

  - CVE-2017-8824     Mohamed Ghannam discovered that the DCCP implementation     did not correctly manage resources when a socket is     disconnected and reconnected, potentially leading to a     use-after-free. A local user could use this for denial     of service (crash or data corruption) or possibly for     privilege escalation. On systems that do not already     have the dccp module loaded, this can be mitigated by     disabling it:echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-dccp.conf     install dccp false

  - CVE-2017-15868     Al Viro found that the Bluebooth Network Encapsulation     Protocol (BNEP) implementation did not validate the type     of the second socket passed to the BNEPCONNADD ioctl(),     which could lead to memory corruption. A local user with     the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability can use this for denial of     service (crash or data corruption) or possibly for     privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2017-16538     Andrey Konovalov reported that the dvb-usb-lmedm04 media     driver did not correctly handle some error conditions     during initialisation. A physically present user with a     specially designed USB device can use this to cause a     denial of service (crash).

  - CVE-2017-16939     Mohamed Ghannam reported (through Beyond Security's     SecuriTeam Secure Disclosure program) that the IPsec     (xfrm) implementation did not correctly handle some     failure cases when dumping policy information through     netlink. A local user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     can use this for denial of service (crash or data     corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2017-17448     Kevin Cernekee discovered that the netfilter subsystem     allowed users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability in any     user namespace, not just the root namespace, to enable     and disable connection tracking helpers. This could lead     to denial of service, violation of network security     policy, or have other impact.

  - CVE-2017-17449     Kevin Cernekee discovered that the netlink subsystem     allowed users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability in any     user namespace to monitor netlink traffic in all net     namespaces, not just those owned by that user namespace.
    This could lead to exposure of sensitive information.

  - CVE-2017-17450     Kevin Cernekee discovered that the xt_osf module allowed     users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability in any user     namespace to modify the global OS fingerprint list.

  - CVE-2017-17558     Andrey Konovalov reported that that USB core did not     correctly handle some error conditions during     initialisation. A physically present user with a     specially designed USB device can use this to cause a     denial of service (crash or memory corruption), or     possibly for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2017-17741     Dmitry Vyukov reported that the KVM implementation for     x86 would over-read data from memory when emulating an     MMIO write if the kvm_mmio tracepoint was enabled. A     guest virtual machine might be able to use this to cause     a denial of service (crash).

  - CVE-2017-17805     It was discovered that some implementations of the     Salsa20 block cipher did not correctly handle     zero-length input. A local user could use this to cause     a denial of service (crash) or possibly have other     security impact.

  - CVE-2017-17806     It was discovered that the HMAC implementation could be     used with an underlying hash algorithm that requires a     key, which was not intended. A local user could use this     to cause a denial of service (crash or memory     corruption), or possibly for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2017-17807     Eric Biggers discovered that the KEYS subsystem lacked a     check for write permission when adding keys to a     process's default keyring. A local user could use this     to cause a denial of service or to obtain sensitive     information.

  - CVE-2017-1000407     Andrew Honig reported that the KVM implementation for     Intel processors allowed direct access to host I/O port     0x80, which is not generally safe. On some systems this     allows a guest VM to cause a denial of service (crash)     of the host.

  - CVE-2017-1000410     Ben Seri reported that the Bluetooth subsystem did not     correctly handle short EFS information elements in L2CAP     messages. An attacker able to communicate over Bluetooth     could use this to obtain sensitive information from the     kernel.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP3 LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. This update adds mitigations for various side channel attacks against modern CPUs that could disclose content of otherwise unreadable memory (bnc#1068032).

  - CVE-2017-5753: Local attackers on systems with modern     CPUs featuring deep instruction pipelining could use     attacker controllable speculative execution over code     patterns in the Linux Kernel to leak content from     otherwise not readable memory in the same address space,     allowing retrieval of passwords, cryptographic keys and     other secrets. This problem is mitigated by adding     speculative fencing on affected code paths throughout     the Linux kernel.

  - CVE-2017-5715: Local attackers on systems with modern     CPUs featuring branch prediction could use mispredicted     branches to speculatively execute code patterns that in     turn could be made to leak other non-readable content in     the same address space, an attack similar to     CVE-2017-5753. This problem is mitigated by disabling     predictive branches, depending on CPU architecture     either by firmware updates and/or fixes in the     user-kernel privilege boundaries. Please contact your     CPU / hardware vendor for potential microcode or BIOS     updates needed for this fix. As this feature can have a     performance impact, it can be disabled using the     'nospec' kernel commandline option.

  - CVE-2017-5754: Local attackers on systems with modern     CPUs featuring deep instruction pipelining could use     code patterns in userspace to speculative executive code     that would read otherwise read protected memory, an     attack similar to CVE-2017-5753. This problem is     mitigated by unmapping the Linux Kernel from the user     address space during user code execution, following a     approach called 'KAISER'. The terms used here are     'KAISER' / 'Kernel Address Isolation' and 'PTI' / 'Page     Table Isolation'. This feature is disabled on unaffected     architectures. This feature can be enabled / disabled by     the 'pti=[on|off|auto]' or 'nopti' commandline options.

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

  - CVE-2017-8824     Mohamed Ghannam discovered that the DCCP implementation     did not correctly manage resources when a socket is     disconnected and reconnected, potentially leading to a     use-after-free. A local user could use this for denial     of service (crash or data corruption) or possibly for     privilege escalation. On systems that do not already     have the dccp module loaded, this can be mitigated by     disabling it:echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-dccp.conf     install dccp false

  - CVE-2017-16538     Andrey Konovalov reported that the dvb-usb-lmedm04 media     driver did not correctly handle some error conditions     during initialisation. A physically present user with a     specially designed USB device can use this to cause a     denial of service (crash).

  - CVE-2017-16644     Andrey Konovalov reported that the hdpvr media driver     did not correctly handle some error conditions during     initialisation. A physically present user with a     specially designed USB device can use this to cause a     denial of service (crash).

  - CVE-2017-16995     Jann Horn discovered that the Extended BPF verifier did     not correctly model the behaviour of 32-bit load     instructions. A local user can use this for privilege     escalation.

  - CVE-2017-17448     Kevin Cernekee discovered that the netfilter subsystem     allowed users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability in any     user namespace, not just the root namespace, to enable     and disable connection tracking helpers. This could lead     to denial of service, violation of network security     policy, or have other impact.

  - CVE-2017-17449     Kevin Cernekee discovered that the netlink subsystem     allowed users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability in any     user namespace to monitor netlink traffic in all net     namespaces, not just those owned by that user namespace.
    This could lead to exposure of sensitive information.

  - CVE-2017-17450     Kevin Cernekee discovered that the xt_osf module allowed     users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability in any user     namespace to modify the global OS fingerprint list.

  - CVE-2017-17558     Andrey Konovalov reported that that USB core did not     correctly handle some error conditions during     initialisation. A physically present user with a     specially designed USB device can use this to cause a     denial of service (crash or memory corruption), or     possibly for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2017-17712     Mohamed Ghannam discovered a race condition in the IPv4     raw socket implementation. A local user could use this     to obtain sensitive information from the kernel.

  - CVE-2017-17741     Dmitry Vyukov reported that the KVM implementation for     x86 would over-read data from memory when emulating an     MMIO write if the kvm_mmio tracepoint was enabled. A     guest virtual machine might be able to use this to cause     a denial of service (crash).

  - CVE-2017-17805     It was discovered that some implementations of the     Salsa20 block cipher did not correctly handle     zero-length input. A local user could use this to cause     a denial of service (crash) or possibly have other     security impact.

  - CVE-2017-17806     It was discovered that the HMAC implementation could be     used with an underlying hash algorithm that requires a     key, which was not intended. A local user could use this     to cause a denial of service (crash or memory     corruption), or possibly for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2017-17807     Eric Biggers discovered that the KEYS subsystem lacked a     check for write permission when adding keys to a     process's default keyring. A local user could use this     to cause a denial of service or to obtain sensitive     information.

  - CVE-2017-17862     Alexei Starovoitov discovered that the Extended BPF     verifier ignored unreachable code, even though it would     still be processed by JIT compilers. This could possibly     be used by local users for denial of service. It also     increases the severity of bugs in determining     unreachable code.

  - CVE-2017-17863     Jann Horn discovered that the Extended BPF verifier did     not correctly model pointer arithmetic on the stack     frame pointer. A local user can use this for privilege     escalation.

  - CVE-2017-17864     Jann Horn discovered that the Extended BPF verifier     could fail to detect pointer leaks from conditional     code. A local user could use this to obtain sensitive     information in order to exploit other vulnerabilities.

  - CVE-2017-1000407     Andrew Honig reported that the KVM implementation for     Intel processors allowed direct access to host I/O port     0x80, which is not generally safe. On some systems this     allows a guest VM to cause a denial of service (crash)     of the host.

  - CVE-2017-1000410     Ben Seri reported that the Bluetooth subsystem did not     correctly handle short EFS information elements in L2CAP     messages. An attacker able to communicate over Bluetooth     could use this to obtain sensitive information from the     kernel.

The various problems in the Extended BPF verifier can be mitigated by disabling use of Extended BPF by unprivileged users:sysctl kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled=1

Debian disables unprivileged user namespaces by default, but if they are enabled (via the kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone sysctl) then CVE-2017-17448 can be exploited by any local user.

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A vulnerability was found in the key management     subsystem of the Linux kernel. An update on an     uninstantiated key could cause a kernel panic, leading     to denial of service (DoS).(CVE-2017-15299)

  - The keyctl_read_key function in security/keys/keyctl.c     in the Key Management subcomponent in the Linux kernel     before 4.13.5 does not properly consider that a key may     be possessed but negatively instantiated, which allows     local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS and     system crash) via a crafted KEYCTL_READ     operation.(CVE-2017-12192)

  - The Linux kernel built with the KVM visualization     support (CONFIG_KVM), with nested visualization(nVMX)     feature enabled (nested=1), was vulnerable to a stack     buffer overflow issue. The vulnerability could occur     while traversing guest page table entries to resolve     guest virtual address(gva). An L1 guest could use this     flaw to crash the host kernel resulting in denial of     service (DoS) or potentially execute arbitrary code on     the host to gain privileges on the     system.(CVE-2017-12188)
