The vc4_get_bcl function in drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_gem.c in the VideoCore DRM driver in the Linux kernel before 4.9.7 does not set an errno value upon certain overflow detections, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (incorrect pointer dereference and OOPS) via inconsistent size values in a VC4_SUBMIT_CL ioctl call.

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An information-leak vulnerability was found in the     kernel when it truncated a file to a smaller size which     consisted of an inline extent that was compressed. The     data between the new file size and the old file size     was not discarded and the number of bytes used by the     inode were not correctly decremented, which gave the     wrong report for callers of the stat(2) syscall. This     wasted metadata space and allowed for the truncated     data to be leaked, and data corruption or loss to     occur. A caller of the clone ioctl could exploit this     flaw by using only standard file-system operations     without root access to read the truncated     data.(CVE-2015-8374i1/4%0

  - crypto/pcrypt.c in the Linux kernel, before 4.14.13,     mishandles freeing instances, allowing a local user     able to access the AF_ALG-based AEAD interface     (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_AEAD) and pcrypt     (CONFIG_CRYPTO_PCRYPT) to cause a denial of service     (kfree of an incorrect pointer) or possibly have     unspecified other impact by executing a crafted     sequence of system calls. Due to the nature of the     flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out,     although we believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2017-18075i1/4%0

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the Qualcomm     Wi-Fi driver could enable a local malicious application     to execute arbitrary code within the context of the     kernel. This issue is rated as High because it first     requires compromising a privileged process. Product:
    Android. Versions: N/A. Android ID: A-32835279.
    References: QC-CR#1096945.(CVE-2017-0523i1/4%0

  - The saa7164_bus_get function in     drivers/media/pci/saa7164/saa7164-bus.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.10.14 allows local users to cause a     denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or     possibly have unspecified other impact by changing a     certain sequence-number value, aka a 'double fetch'     vulnerability.(CVE-2017-8831i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's splice()     system call validated its parameters. On certain file     systems, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw     to write past the maximum file size, and thus crash the     system.(CVE-2014-7822i1/4%0

  - The vc4_get_bcl function in     drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_gem.c in the VideoCore DRM     driver in the Linux kernel before 4.9.7 does not set an     errno value upon certain overflow detections allowing     local users to cause a denial of service (incorrect     pointer dereference and OOPS) via inconsistent size     values in a VC4_SUBMIT_CL ioctl call.(CVE-2017-5577i1/4%0

  - In fs/ocfs2/cluster/nodemanager.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.15, local users can cause a denial of service     (NULL pointer dereference and BUG) because a required     mutex is not used.(CVE-2017-18216i1/4%0

  - A race condition issue leading to a use-after-free flaw     was found in the way the raw packet sockets     implementation in the Linux kernel networking subsystem     handled synchronization while creating the TPACKET_V3     ring buffer. A local user able to open a raw packet     socket (requires the CAP_NET_RAW capability) could use     this flaw to elevate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2016-8655i1/4%0

  - An exploitable memory corruption flaw was found in the     Linux kernel. The append path can be erroneously     switched from UFO to non-UFO in ip_ufo_append_data()     when building an UFO packet with MSG_MORE option. If     unprivileged user namespaces are available, this flaw     can be exploited to gain root     privileges.(CVE-2017-1000112i1/4%0

  - A security flaw was found in the Linux kernel in a way     that the cleancache subsystem clears an inode after the     final file truncation (removal). The new file created     with the same inode may contain leftover pages from     cleancache and the old file data instead of the new     one.(CVE-2018-16862i1/4%0

  - arch/arm64/ include /asm/pgtable.h in the Linux kernel     before 3.15-rc5-next-20140519, as used in Android     before 2016-07-05 on Nexus 5X and 6P devices,     mishandles execute-only pages, which allows attackers     to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka     Android internal bug 28557020.(CVE-2014-9803i1/4%0

  - A heap-buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the     arcmsr_iop_message_xfer() function in     'drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c' file in the Linux     kernel through 4.8.2. The function does not restrict a     certain length field, which allows local users to gain     privileges or cause a denial of service via an     ARCMSR_MESSAGE_WRITE_WQBUFFER control code. This can     potentially cause kernel heap corruption and arbitrary     kernel code execution.(CVE-2016-7425i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     4.18.11. The ipddp_ioctl function in     drivers/net/appletalk/ipddp.c allows local users to     obtain sensitive kernel address information by     leveraging CAP_NET_ADMIN to read the ipddp_route dev     and next fields via an SIOCFINDIPDDPRT ioctl     call.(CVE-2018-20511i1/4%0

  - A memory leak in the irda_bind function in     net/irda/af_irda.c in the Linux kernel, through 4.16,     allows local users to cause a denial of service due to     a memory consumption by repeatedly binding an AF_IRDA     socket.(CVE-2018-6554i1/4%0

  - sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4.1     employs a locking approach that does not consider slave     timer instances, which allows local users to cause a     denial of service (race condition, use-after-free, and     system crash) via a crafted ioctl     call.(CVE-2016-2547i1/4%0

  - Buffer overflow in the complete_emulated_mmio function     in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13.6     allows guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on the     host OS by leveraging a loop that triggers an invalid     memory copy affecting certain cancel_work_item     data.(CVE-2014-0049i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the F2FS filesystem code in     the Linux kernel in fs/f2fs/inode.c. A denial of     service due to a slab out-of-bounds read can occur for     a crafted f2fs filesystem image in which FI_EXTRA_ATTR     is set in an inode.(CVE-2018-13098i1/4%0

  - 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-2017-5970i1/4%0

  - In the Linux kernel's vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl()     function, in 'drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c'     file, a 'req-i1/4zmip_levels' is a user-controlled value     which is later used as a loop count limit. This allows     local unprivileged user to cause a denial of service by     a kernel lockup via a crafted ioctl call for a     '/dev/dri/renderD*' device.(CVE-2017-7346i1/4%0

  - It was found that the NFSv4 server in the Linux kernel     did not properly validate layout type when processing     NFSv4 pNFS LAYOUTGET and GETDEVICEINFO operands. A     remote attacker could use this flaw to soft-lockup the     system and thus cause denial of     service.(CVE-2017-8797i1/4%0

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).

  - CVE-2017-5986: an application could have triggered a     BUG_ON() in sctp_wait_for_sndbuf() if the socket TX     buffer was full, a thread was waiting on it to queue     more data, and meanwhile another thread peeled off the     association being used by the first thread     (bsc#1025235).

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