arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.3 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted application that leverages instruction emulation for fxrstor, fxsave, sgdt, and sidt.

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 :

  - The IPv6 SCTP implementation in net/sctp/ipv6.c in the     Linux kernel through 3.11.1 uses data structures and     function calls that do not trigger an intended     configuration of IPsec encryption, which allows remote     attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing     the network.(CVE-2013-4350i1/4%0

  - The sg_ioctl function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux     kernel allows local users to cause a denial of service     (stack-based buffer overflow) or possibly have     unspecified other impacts via a large command size in     an SG_NEXT_CMD_LEN ioctl call, leading to out-of-bounds     write access in the sg_write function.(CVE-2017-7187i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in can_can_gw_rcv in     net/can/gw.c in the Linux kernel through 4.19.13. The     CAN frame modification rules allow bitwise logical     operations that can be also applied to the can_dlc     field. Because of a missing check, the CAN drivers may     write arbitrary content beyond the data registers in     the CAN controller's I/O memory when processing can-gw     manipulated outgoing frames. This is related to     cgw_csum_xor_rel. An unprivileged user can trigger a     system crash (general protection     fault).(CVE-2019-3701i1/4%0

  - net/rds/sysctl.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19 uses     an incorrect data type in a sysctl table, which allows     local users to obtain potentially sensitive information     from kernel memory or possibly have unspecified other     impact by accessing a sysctl entry.(CVE-2015-2042i1/4%0

  - The inet_csk_clone_lock function in     net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c in the Linux kernel     allows attackers to cause a denial of service (double     free) or possibly have unspecified other impact by     leveraging use of the accept system call. 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-2017-8890i1/4%0

  - The overlayfs implementation in the linux (aka Linux     kernel) package before 3.19.0-21.21 in Ubuntu through     15.04 does not properly check permissions for file     creation in the upper filesystem directory, which     allows local users to obtain root access by leveraging     a configuration in which overlayfs is permitted in an     arbitrary mount namespace.(CVE-2015-1328i1/4%0

  - The xfs_dinode_verify function in     fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_inode_buf.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.16.3 allows local users to cause a denial of     service (xfs_ilock_attr_map_shared invalid pointer     dereference) via a crafted xfs image.(CVE-2018-10322i1/4%0

  - In the flush_tmregs_to_thread function in     arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel before     4.13.5, a guest kernel crash can be triggered from     unprivileged userspace during a core dump on a POWER     host due to a missing processor feature check and an     erroneous use of transactional memory (TM) instructions     in the core dump path, leading to a denial of     service.(CVE-2018-1091i1/4%0

  - ** DISPUTED ** drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_scsi_host.c in     the Linux kernel before 4.16 allows local users to     cause a denial of service (ata qc leak) by triggering     certain failure conditions. NOTE: a third party     disputes the relevance of this report because the     failure can only occur for physically proximate     attackers who unplug SAS Host Bus Adapter     cables.(CVE-2018-10021i1/4%0

  - A use-after-free flaw was discovered in the Linux     kernel's tty subsystem, which allows for the disclosure     of uncontrolled memory location and possible kernel     panic. The information leak is caused by a race     condition when attempting to set and read the tty line     discipline. A local attacker could use the TIOCSETD     (via tty_set_ldisc ) to switch to a new line discipline     a concurrent call to a TIOCGETD ioctl performing a read     on a given tty could then access previously allocated     memory. Up to 4 bytes could be leaked when querying the     line discipline or the kernel could panic with a     NULL-pointer dereference.(CVE-2016-0723i1/4%0

  - An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the way the     Logitech Unifying receiver driver handled HID reports     with an invalid device_index value. An attacker with     physical access to the system could use this flaw to     crash the system or, potentially, escalate their     privileges on the system.(CVE-2014-3182i1/4%0

  - arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel through     4.9.3 allows local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory or cause a denial of     service (use-after-free) via a crafted application that     leverages instruction emulation for fxrstor, fxsave,     sgdt, and sidt.(CVE-2017-2584i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled     IRET faults during the processing of NMIs. An     unprivileged, local user could use this flaw to crash     the system or, potentially (although highly unlikely),     escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2015-5157i1/4%0

  - drivers/media/media-device.c in the Linux kernel before     3.11, as used in Android before 2016-08-05 on Nexus 5     and 7 (2013) devices, does not properly initialize     certain data structures, which allows local users to     obtain sensitive information via a crafted application,     aka Android internal bug 28750150 and Qualcomm internal     bug CR570757, a different vulnerability than     CVE-2014-1739.(CVE-2014-9895i1/4%0

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in sys_ioprio_get() was     found due to get_task_ioprio() accessing the     task-i1/4zio_context without holding the task lock and     could potentially race with exit_io_context(), leading     to a use-after-free.(CVE-2016-7911i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel which is related     to the user namespace lazily unmounting file systems.
    The fs_pin struct has two members (m_list and s_list)     which are usually initialized on use in the     pin_insert_group function. However, these members might     go unmodified in this case, the system panics when it     attempts to destroy or free them. This flaw could be     used to launch a denial-of-service     attack.(CVE-2015-4178i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of raw_sendmsg allowing a local attacker to panic the     kernel or possibly leak kernel addresses. A local     attacker, with the privilege of creating raw sockets,     can abuse a possible race condition when setting the     socket option to allow the kernel to automatically     create ip header values and thus potentially escalate     their privileges.(CVE-2017-17712i1/4%0

  - A flaw was discovered in the F2FS filesystem code in     fs/f2fs/super.c in the Linux kernel. A denial of     service, due to an out-of-bounds memory access, can     occur upon encountering an abnormal bitmap size when     mounting a crafted f2fs image.(CVE-2018-13096i1/4%0

  - 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-2014-8173i1/4%0

  - An out-of-bounds heap memory access leading to a Denial     of Service, heap disclosure, or further impact was     found in setsockopt(). The function call is normally     restricted to root, however some processes with     cap_sys_admin may also be able to trigger this flaw in     privileged container environments.(CVE-2016-4998i1/4%0

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

  - The msr_mtrr_valid function in arch/x86/kvm/mtrr.c in     the Linux kernel before 4.6.1 supports MSR 0x2f8, which     allows guest OS users to read or write to the     kvm_arch_vcpu data structure, and consequently obtain     sensitive information or cause a denial of service     (system crash), via a crafted ioctl     call.(CVE-2016-3713)

  - Linux kernel built with the Kernel-based Virtual     Machine (CONFIG_KVM) support is vulnerable to a null     pointer dereference flaw. It could occur on x86     platform, when emulating an undefined instruction. An     attacker could use this flaw to crash the host kernel     resulting in DoS.(CVE-2016-8630)

  - Linux kernel built with the Kernel-based Virtual     Machine (CONFIG_KVM) support was vulnerable to an     incorrect segment selector(SS) value error. The error     could occur while loading values into the SS register     in long mode. A user or process inside a guest could     use this flaw to crash the guest, resulting in DoS or     potentially escalate their privileges inside the     guest.(CVE-2017-2583)

  - arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel through     4.9.3 allows local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory or cause a denial of     service (use-after-free) via a crafted application that     leverages instruction emulation for fxrstor, fxsave,     sgdt, and sidt.(CVE-2017-2584)

  - A reachable assertion failure flaw was found in the     Linux kernel built with KVM virtualisation(CONFIG_KVM)     support with Virtual Function I/O feature (CONFIG_VFIO)     enabled. This failure could occur if a malicious guest     device sent a virtual interrupt (guest IRQ) with a     larger (i1/4z1024) index value.(CVE-2017-1000252)

  - An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern     microprocessor designs have implemented speculative     execution of instructions (a commonly used performance     optimization). There are three primary variants of the     issue which differ in the way the speculative execution     can be exploited. Variant CVE-2017-5715 triggers the     speculative execution by utilizing branch target     injection. It relies on the presence of a     precisely-defined instruction sequence in the     privileged code as well as the fact that memory     accesses may cause allocation into the microprocessor's     data cache even for speculatively executed instructions     that never actually commit (retire). As a result, an     unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to cross the     syscall and guest/host boundaries and read privileged     memory by conducting targeted cache side-channel     attacks.(CVE-2017-5715)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux KVM module     processed the trap flag(TF) bit in EFLAGS during     emulation of the syscall instruction, which leads to a     debug exception(#DB) being raised in the guest stack. A     user/process inside a guest could use this flaw to     potentially escalate their privileges inside the guest.
    Linux guests are not affected by this.(CVE-2017-7518)

  - Linux kernel compiled with the KVM virtualization     (CONFIG_KVM) support is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds     read access issue. It could occur when emulating vmcall     instructions invoked by a guest. A guest user/process     could use this flaw to disclose kernel memory     bytes.(CVE-2017-17741)

  - Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative     execution and speculative execution of memory reads     before the addresses of all prior memory writes are     known may allow unauthorized disclosure of information     to an attacker with local user access via a     side-channel analysis, aka Speculative Store Bypass     (SSB), Variant 4.(CVE-2018-3639)

  - kernel: kvm: guest userspace to guest kernel     write(CVE-2018-10853)

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.20.8,     kvm_ioctl_create_device in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c     mishandles reference counting because of a race     condition, leading to a use-after-free.(CVE-2019-6974)

  - The KVM implementation in the Linux kernel through     4.20.5 has an Information Leak.(CVE-2019-7222)

  - The KVM implementation in the Linux kernel through     4.20.5 has a Use-after-Free.(CVE-2019-7221)

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.

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

  - The perf_cpu_time_max_percent_handler function in     kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11     allows local users to cause a denial of service     (integer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other     impact via a large value, as demonstrated by an     incorrect sample-rate calculation.(CVE-2017-18255)

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.13.5, a local user could     create keyrings for other users via keyctl commands,     setting unwanted defaults or causing a denial of     service.(CVE-2017-18270)

  - The timer_create syscall implementation in     kernel/time/posix-timers.c in the Linux kernel doesn't     properly validate the sigevent-i1/4zsigev_notify field,     which leads to out-of-bounds access in the show_timer     function.(CVE-2017-18344)

  - arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel through     4.9.3 allows local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory or cause a denial of     service (use-after-free) via a crafted application that     leverages instruction emulation for fxrstor, fxsave,     sgdt, and sidt.(CVE-2017-2584)

  - Linux kernel built with the KVM visualization support     (CONFIG_KVM), with nested visualization(nVMX) feature     enabled(nested=1), is vulnerable to host memory leakage     issue. It could occur while emulating VMXON instruction     in 'handle_vmon'. An L1 guest user could use this flaw     to leak host memory potentially resulting in     DoS.(CVE-2017-2596)

  - A race condition flaw was found in the N_HLDC Linux     kernel driver when accessing n_hdlc.tbuf list that can     lead to double free. A local, unprivileged user able to     set the HDLC line discipline on the tty device could     use this flaw to increase their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2017-2636)

  - A flaw was found that can be triggered in     keyring_search_iterator in keyring.c if type-i1/4zmatch     is NULL. A local user could use this flaw to crash the     system or, potentially, escalate their     privileges.(CVE-2017-2647)

  - 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-2017-2671)

  - 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-2017-5551)

  - The do_shmat function in ipc/shm.c in the Linux kernel,     through 4.9.12, does not restrict the address     calculated by a certain rounding operation. This allows     privileged local users to map page zero and,     consequently, bypass a protection mechanism that exists     for the mmap system call. This is possible by making     crafted shmget and shmat system calls in a privileged     context.(CVE-2017-5669)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel where     having malicious IP options present would cause the     ipv4_pktinfo_prepare() function to drop/free the dst.
    This could result in a system crash or possible     privilege escalation.(CVE-2017-5970)

  - It was reported that with Linux kernel, earlier than     version v4.10-rc8, an application may trigger a BUG_ON     in sctp_wait_for_sndbuf if the socket tx buffer is     full, a thread is waiting on it to queue more data, and     meanwhile another thread peels off the association     being used by the first thread.(CVE-2017-5986)

  - It was found that the original fix for CVE-2016-6786     was incomplete. There exist a race between two     concurrent sys_perf_event_open() calls when both try     and move the same pre-existing software group into a     hardware context.(CVE-2017-6001)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP)     implementation freed SKB (socket buffer) resources for     a DCCP_PKT_REQUEST packet when the IPV6_RECVPKTINFO     option is set on the socket. A local, unprivileged user     could use this flaw to alter the kernel memory,     allowing them to escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2017-6074)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handling of     packets with the URG flag. Applications using the     splice() and tcp_splice_read() functionality could     allow a remote attacker to force the kernel to enter a     condition in which it could loop     indefinitely.(CVE-2017-6214)

  - The hashbin_delete function in net/irda/irqueue.c in     the Linux kernel improperly manages lock dropping,     which allows local users to cause a denial of service     (deadlock) via crafted operations on IrDA     devices.(CVE-2017-6348)

  - It was found that the code in net/sctp/socket.c in the     Linux kernel through 4.10.1 does not properly restrict     association peel-off operations during certain wait     states, which allows local users to cause a denial of     service (invalid unlock and double free) via a     multithreaded application. This vulnerability was     introduced by CVE-2017-5986 fix (commit     2dcab5984841).(CVE-2017-6353)

  - The keyring_search_aux function in     security/keys/keyring.c in the Linux kernel allows     local users to cause a denial of service via a     request_key system call for the 'dead' key     type.(CVE-2017-6951)

  - The sg_ioctl function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux     kernel allows local users to cause a denial of service     (stack-based buffer overflow) or possibly have     unspecified other impacts via a large command size in     an SG_NEXT_CMD_LEN ioctl call, leading to out-of-bounds     write access in the sg_write function.(CVE-2017-7187)

  - In was found that in the Linux kernel, in     vmw_surface_define_ioctl() function in     'drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c' file, a     'num_sizes' parameter is assigned a user-controlled     value which is not checked if it is zero. This is used     in a call to kmalloc() and later leads to dereferencing     ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which in turn leads to a GPF and     possibly to a kernel panic.(CVE-2017-7261)

  - An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in the     Linux kernel's vmw_surface_define_ioctl() function, in     the 'drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c' file. Due     to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot     be fully ruled out, although we believe it is     unlikely.(CVE-2017-7294)

  - It was found that the packet_set_ring() function of the     Linux kernel's networking implementation did not     properly validate certain block-size data. A local     attacker with CAP_NET_RAW capability could use this     flaw to trigger a buffer overflow, resulting in the     crash of the system. Due to the nature of the flaw,     privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled     out.(CVE-2017-7308)

  - CVE-2017-5669: The do_shmat function in ipc/shm.c in the     Linux kernel did not restrict the address calculated by     a certain rounding operation, which allowed local users     to map page zero, and consequently bypass a protection     mechanism that exists for the mmap system call, by     making crafted shmget and shmat system calls in a     privileged context (bnc#1026914).

  - CVE-2017-6348: The hashbin_delete function in     net/irda/irqueue.c in the Linux kernel improperly     manages lock dropping, which allowed local users to     cause a denial of service (deadlock) via crafted     operations on IrDA devices (bnc#1027178).

  - CVE-2017-7184: The xfrm_replay_verify_len function in     net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c in the Linux kernel did not     validate certain size data after an XFRM_MSG_NEWAE     update, which allowed local users to obtain root     privileges or cause a denial of service (heap-based     out-of-bounds access) by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN     capability, as demonstrated during a Pwn2Own competition     at CanSecWest 2017 for the Ubuntu 16.10 linux-image-*     package 4.8.0.41.52 (bnc#1030573).

  - CVE-2016-10200: Race condition in the L2TPv3 IP     Encapsulation feature in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service     (use-after-free) by making multiple bind system calls     without properly ascertaining whether a socket has the     SOCK_ZAPPED status, related to net/l2tp/l2tp_ip.c and     net/l2tp/l2tp_ip6.c (bnc#1028415).

  - CVE-2017-2636: Race condition in drivers/tty/n_hdlc.c in     the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges     or cause a denial of service (double free) by setting     the HDLC line discipline (bnc#1027565).

  - CVE-2017-6345: The LLC subsystem in the Linux kernel did     not ensure that a certain destructor exists in required     circumstances, which allowed local users to cause a     denial of service (BUG_ON) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via crafted system calls (bnc#1027190).

  - CVE-2017-6346: Race condition in net/packet/af_packet.c     in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a     denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a multithreaded application     that made PACKET_FANOUT setsockopt system calls     (bnc#1027189).

  - CVE-2017-6347: The ip_cmsg_recv_checksum function in     net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c in the Linux kernel has incorrect     expectations about skb data layout, which allowed local     users to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted     system calls, as demonstrated by use of the MSG_MORE     flag in conjunction with loopback UDP transmission     (bnc#1027179).

  - CVE-2017-6353: net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel did     not properly restrict association peel-off operations     during certain wait states, which allowed local users to     cause a denial of service (invalid unlock and double     free) via a multithreaded application. NOTE: this     vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for     CVE-2017-5986 (bnc#1025235).

  - CVE-2017-6214: The tcp_splice_read function in     net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel allowed remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop     and soft lockup) via vectors involving a TCP packet with     the URG flag (bnc#1026722).

  - CVE-2016-2117: The atl2_probe function in     drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/atlx/atl2.c in the Linux     kernel incorrectly enables scatter/gather I/O, which     allowed remote attackers to obtain sensitive information     from kernel memory by reading packet data (bnc#968697).

  - CVE-2016-10208: The ext4_fill_super function in     fs/ext4/super.c in the Linux kernel did not properly     validate meta block groups, which allowed physically     proximate attackers to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read and system crash) via a crafted ext4     image (bnc#1023377).

  - CVE-2017-2596: The nested_vmx_check_vmptr function in     arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel improperly     emulates the VMXON instruction, which allowed KVM L1     guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS     memory consumption) by leveraging the mishandling of     page references (bnc#1022785).

  - CVE-2017-2583: The load_segment_descriptor     implementation in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux     kernel improperly emulates a 'MOV SS, NULL selector'     instruction, which allowed guest OS users to cause a     denial of service (guest OS crash) or gain guest OS     privileges via a crafted application (bnc#1020602).

  - CVE-2017-2584: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux     kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory or cause a denial of     service (use-after-free) via a crafted application that     leverages instruction emulation for fxrstor, fxsave,     sgdt, and sidt (bnc#1019851).

According to the version of the vzkernel package and the readykernel-patch installed, the Virtuozzo installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Linux kernel built with the Kernel-based Virtual     Machine (CONFIG_KVM) support is vulnerable to an     incorrect segment selector(SS) value error. The error     could occur while loading values into the SS register     in long mode. A user/process inside guest could use     this flaw to crash the guest resulting in DoS or     potentially escalate their privileges inside guest.

  - arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel through     4.9.3 allows local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory or cause a denial of     service (use-after-free) via a crafted application that     leverages instruction emulation for fxrstor, fxsave,     sgdt, and sidt.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Virtuozzo security advisory.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 kernel was updated to 4.4.49 to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2016-7117: Use-after-free vulnerability in the
    __sys_recvmmsg function in net/socket.c in the Linux     kernel allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary     code via vectors involving a recvmmsg system call that     was mishandled during error processing (bnc#1003077).

  - CVE-2017-5576: Integer overflow in the vc4_get_bcl     function in drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_gem.c in the     VideoCore DRM driver in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to cause a denial of service or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted size value in a     VC4_SUBMIT_CL ioctl call (bnc#1021294).

  - CVE-2017-5577: The vc4_get_bcl function in     drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_gem.c in the VideoCore DRM     driver in the Linux kernel did not set an errno value     upon certain overflow detections, which allowed local     users to cause a denial of service (incorrect pointer     dereference and OOPS) via inconsistent size values in a     VC4_SUBMIT_CL ioctl call (bnc#1021294).

  - CVE-2017-5551: The simple_set_acl function in     fs/posix_acl.c in the Linux kernel preserved the setgid     bit during a setxattr call involving a tmpfs filesystem,     which allowed local users to gain group privileges by     leveraging the existence of a setgid program with     restrictions on execute permissions. (bnc#1021258).

  - CVE-2017-2583: The load_segment_descriptor     implementation in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux     kernel improperly emulated a 'MOV SS, NULL selector'     instruction, which allowed guest OS users to cause a     denial of service (guest OS crash) or gain guest OS     privileges via a crafted application (bnc#1020602).

  - CVE-2017-2584: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux     kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory or cause a denial of     service (use-after-free) via a crafted application that     leverages instruction emulation for fxrstor, fxsave,     sgdt, and sidt (bnc#1019851).

  - CVE-2015-8709: kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel     mishandled uid and gid mappings, which allowed local     users to gain privileges by establishing a user     namespace, waiting for a root process to enter that     namespace with an unsafe uid or gid, and then using the     ptrace system call. NOTE: the vendor states 'there is no     kernel bug here' (bnc#1010933).

  - CVE-2016-9806: Race condition in the netlink_dump     function in net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (double     free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a     crafted application that made sendmsg system calls,     leading to a free operation associated with a new dump     that started earlier than anticipated (bnc#1013540).

  - CVE-2017-5897: fixed a bug in the Linux kernel IPv6     implementation which allowed remote attackers to trigger     an out-of-bounds access, leading to a denial-of-service     attack (bnc#1023762).

  - CVE-2017-5970: Fixed a possible denial-of-service that     could have been triggered by sending bad IP options on a     socket (bsc#1024938).

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

  - CVE-2016-6786 / CVE-2016-6787     It was discovered that the performance events subsystem     does not properly manage locks during certain     migrations, allowing a local attacker to escalate     privileges. This can be mitigated by disabling     unprivileged use of performance events:sysctl     kernel.perf_event_paranoid=3

  - CVE-2016-8405     Peter Pi of Trend Micro discovered that the frame buffer     video subsystem does not properly check bounds while     copying color maps to userspace, causing a heap buffer     out-of-bounds read, leading to information disclosure.

  - CVE-2016-9191     CAI Qian discovered that reference counting is not     properly handled within proc_sys_readdir in the sysctl     implementation, allowing a local denial of service     (system hang) or possibly privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2017-2583     Xiaohan Zhang reported that KVM for amd64 does not     correctly emulate loading of a null stack selector. This     can be used by a user in a guest VM for denial of     service (on an Intel CPU) or to escalate privileges     within the VM (on an AMD CPU).

  - CVE-2017-2584     Dmitry Vyukov reported that KVM for x86 does not     correctly emulate memory access by the SGDT and SIDT     instructions, which can result in a use-after-free and     information leak.

  - CVE-2017-2596     Dmitry Vyukov reported that KVM leaks page references     when emulating a VMON for a nested hypervisor. This can     be used by a privileged user in a guest VM for denial of     service or possibly to gain privileges in the host.

  - CVE-2017-2618     It was discovered that an off-by-one in the handling of     SELinux attributes in /proc/pid/attr could result in     local denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-5549     It was discovered that the KLSI KL5KUSB105 serial USB     device driver could log the contents of uninitialised     kernel memory, resulting in an information leak.

  - CVE-2017-5551     Jan Kara found that changing the POSIX ACL of a file on     tmpfs never cleared its set-group-ID flag, which should     be done if the user changing it is not a member of the     group-owner. In some cases, this would allow the     user-owner of an executable to gain the privileges of     the group-owner.

  - CVE-2017-5897     Andrey Konovalov discovered an out-of-bounds read flaw     in the ip6gre_err function in the IPv6 networking code.

  - CVE-2017-5970     Andrey Konovalov discovered a denial-of-service flaw in     the IPv4 networking code. This can be triggered by a     local or remote attacker if a local UDP or raw socket     has the IP_RETOPTS option enabled.

  - CVE-2017-6001     Di Shen discovered a race condition between concurrent     calls to the performance events subsystem, allowing a     local attacker to escalate privileges. This flaw exists     because of an incomplete fix of CVE-2016-6786. This can     be mitigated by disabling unprivileged use of     performance events: sysctl kernel.perf_event_paranoid=3

  - CVE-2017-6074     Andrey Konovalov discovered a use-after-free     vulnerability in the DCCP networking code, which could     result in denial of service or local 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
