Buffer overflow in network stack for EDK II may allow unprivileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege and/or denial of service via network.

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2019-4668 advisory.

    [1:1.2-5.el7]
    - Update spec file to remove 'modprobe kvm-intel' and remove --enable-kvm arg to ovmf_vars_generator so     qemu will not require kvm kernel module. (Aaron Young)
    - Update spec file to modprobe kvm_intel module prior to running qemu to enroll default keys. (Aaron     Young)
    - Enroll Oracle cert/key for OL secureboot support. (Aaron Young)

    [1:1.2-2.el7]
    - Change Image.c image load error to DEBUG_WARN from DEBUG_ERROR since it is normal for some images to     fail to load if the associated hardware is not present. Such is the case with Ramfb. (Aaron Young)     [Orabug: 28868674]
    - Fix AAVMF build. Pull in OpenSSL code (as is done for x86_64) (Aaron Young)
    - Update AAVMF change log for version 1.2 (Aaron Young)

    [1:1.2-1.el7]
    - Update spec files and OVMF change log to version 1.2

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4349-1 advisory.

    A buffer overflow was discovered in the network stack. An unprivileged user could potentially enable     escalation of privilege and/or denial of service. This issue was already fixed in a previous release for     18.04 LTS and 19.10. (CVE-2018-12178)

    A buffer overflow was discovered in BlockIo service. An unauthenticated user could potentially enable     escalation of privilege, information disclosure and/or denial of service. This issue was already fixed in     a previous release for 18.04 LTS and 19.10. (CVE-2018-12180)

    A stack overflow was discovered in bmp. An unprivileged user could potentially enable denial of service or     elevation of privilege via local access. This issue was already fixed in a previous release for 18.04 LTS     and 19.10. (CVE-2018-12181)

    It was discovered that memory was not cleared before free that could lead to potential password leak.
    (CVE-2019-14558)

    A memory leak was discovered in ArpOnFrameRcvdDpc. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a     denial of service or other unspecified impact. (CVE-2019-14559)

    An integer overflow was discovered in MdeModulePkg/PiDxeS3BootScriptLib. An attacker could possibly use     this issue to cause a denial of service or other unspecified impact. (CVE-2019-14563)

    It was discovered that the affected version doesn't properly check whether an unsigned EFI file should be     allowed or not. An attacker could possibly load unsafe content by bypassing the verification.
    (CVE-2019-14575)

    It was discovered that original configuration runtime memory is freed, but it is still exposed to the OS     runtime. (CVE-2019-14586)

    A double-unmap was discovered in TRB creation. An attacker could use it to cause a denial of service or     other unspecified impact. (CVE-2019-14587)

Logic error in FV parsing in MdeModulePkg\Core\Pei\FwVol\FwVol.c (CVE-2018-3630)

Logic issue in variable service module for EDK II/UDK2018/UDK2017/UDK2015 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege, information disclosure and/or denial of service via local access. (CVE-2017-5734)

A missing check leads to an out-of-bounds read and write flaw in NetworkPkg/DnsDxe as shipped in edk2, when it parses DNS responses. A remote attacker who controls the DNS server used by the vulnerable firmware may use this flaw to make the system crash. (CVE-2018-3613)

improper DNS packet size check (CVE-2018-12178)

Privilege escalation via heap-based buffer overflow in Decode() function (CVE-2017-5735)

Privilege escalation via heap-based buffer overflow in MakeTable() function (CVE-2017-5733)

Privilege escalation via processing of malformed files in TianoCompress.c (CVE-2017-5731)

Privilege escalation via processing of malformed files in BaseUefiDecompressLib.c (CVE-2017-5732)

A stack-based buffer overflow was discovered in edk2 when the HII database contains a Bitmap that claims to be 4-bit or 8-bit per pixel, but the palette contains more than 16(2^4) or 256(2^8) colors.
(CVE-2018-12181)

Buffer overflow in BlockIo service for EDK II may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege, information disclosure and/or denial of service via network access.
(CVE-2018-12180)
