Memory leak in the hwsim_new_radio_nl function in drivers/net/wireless/mac80211_hwsim.c in the Linux kernel through 4.15.9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering an out-of-array error case.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

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

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 5.16.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-5.16.0.1 advisory.

  - OpenSLP as used in ESXi and the Horizon DaaS appliances has a heap overwrite issue. VMware has evaluated     the severity of this issue to be in the Critical severity range with a maximum CVSSv3 base score of 9.8.
    (CVE-2019-5544)

  - Empty or malformed p256-ECDH public keys may trigger a segmentation fault due values being improperly     sanitized before being copied into memory and used. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox     < 68, and Thunderbird < 60.8. (CVE-2019-11729)

  - When encrypting with a block cipher, if a call to NSC_EncryptUpdate was made with data smaller than the     block size, a small out of bounds write could occur. This could have caused heap corruption and a     potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 68.3, Firefox ESR < 68.3, and     Firefox < 71. (CVE-2019-11745)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.18.7. In block/blk-core.c, there is an
    __blk_drain_queue() use-after-free because a certain error case is mishandled. (CVE-2018-20856)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A heap based buffer overflow in mwifiex_uap_parse_tail_ies function     in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/ie.c might lead to memory corruption and possibly other     consequences. (CVE-2019-10126)

  - A flaw that allowed an attacker to corrupt memory and possibly escalate privileges was found in the     mwifiex kernel module while connecting to a malicious wireless network. (CVE-2019-3846)

  - The Bluetooth BR/EDR specification up to and including version 5.1 permits sufficiently low encryption key     length and does not prevent an attacker from influencing the key length negotiation. This allows practical     brute-force attacks (aka KNOB) that can decrypt traffic and inject arbitrary ciphertext without the     victim noticing. (CVE-2019-9506)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when certain central processing units (CPU) speculatively     access memory, aka 'Windows Kernel Information Disclosure Vulnerability'. This CVE ID is unique from     CVE-2019-1071, CVE-2019-1073. (CVE-2019-1125)

  - The Broadcom brcmfmac WiFi driver prior to commit 1b5e2423164b3670e8bc9174e4762d297990deff is vulnerable     to a heap buffer overflow. If the Wake-up on Wireless LAN functionality is configured, a malicious event     frame can be constructed to trigger an heap buffer overflow in the brcmf_wowl_nd_results function. This     vulnerability can be exploited with compromised chipsets to compromise the host, or when used in     combination with CVE-2019-9503, can be used remotely. In the worst case scenario, by sending specially-     crafted WiFi packets, a remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code on a     vulnerable system. More typically, this vulnerability will result in denial-of-service conditions.
    (CVE-2019-9500)

  - Improper invalidation for page table updates by a virtual guest operating system for multiple Intel(R)     Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable denial of service of the host system via     local access. (CVE-2018-12207)

  - Insufficient access control in subsystem for Intel (R) processor graphics in 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th     Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) Processor Families; Intel(R) Pentium(R) Processor J, N, Silver and Gold     Series; Intel(R) Celeron(R) Processor J, N, G3900 and G4900 Series; Intel(R) Atom(R) Processor A and E3900     Series; Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor E3-1500 v5 and v6 and E-2100 Processor Families may allow an     authenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via local access. (CVE-2019-0154)

  - TSX Asynchronous Abort condition on some CPUs utilizing speculative execution may allow an authenticated     user to potentially enable information disclosure via a side channel with local access. (CVE-2019-11135)

  - 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)

  - Insufficient access control in a subsystem for Intel (R) processor graphics in 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th     Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) Processor Families; Intel(R) Pentium(R) Processor J, N, Silver and Gold     Series; Intel(R) Celeron(R) Processor J, N, G3900 and G4900 Series; Intel(R) Atom(R) Processor A and E3900     Series; Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor E3-1500 v5 and v6, E-2100 and E-2200 Processor Families; Intel(R)     Graphics Driver for Windows before 26.20.100.6813 (DCH) or 26.20.100.6812 and before 21.20.x.5077     (aka15.45.5077), i915 Linux Driver for Intel(R) Processor Graphics before versions 5.4-rc7, 5.3.11,     4.19.84, 4.14.154, 4.9.201, 4.4.201 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of     privilege via local access. (CVE-2019-0155)

  - A flaw was found in the way Linux kernel KVM hypervisor before 4.18 emulated instructions such as     sgdt/sidt/fxsave/fxrstor. It did not check current privilege(CPL) level while emulating unprivileged     instructions. An unprivileged guest user/process could use this flaw to potentially escalate privileges     inside guest. (CVE-2018-10853)

  - The alarm_timer_nsleep function in kernel/time/alarmtimer.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3 has an     integer overflow via a large relative timeout because ktime_add_safe is not used. (CVE-2018-13053)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/xfs/xfs_icache.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3. There is a NULL pointer     dereference and panic in lookup_slow() on a NULL inode->i_ops pointer when doing pathwalks on a corrupted     xfs image. This occurs because of a lack of proper validation that cached inodes are free during     allocation. (CVE-2018-13093)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr_leaf.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3. An OOPS may     occur for a corrupted xfs image after xfs_da_shrink_inode() is called with a NULL bp. (CVE-2018-13094)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_inode_buf.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3. A denial of     service (memory corruption and BUG) can occur for a corrupted xfs image upon encountering an inode that is     in extent format, but has more extents than fit in the inode fork. (CVE-2018-13095)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel where an attacker may be able to have an uncontrolled read to kernel-     memory from within a vm guest. A race condition between connect() and close() function may allow an     attacker using the AF_VSOCK protocol to gather a 4 byte information leak or possibly intercept or corrupt     AF_VSOCK messages destined to other clients. (CVE-2018-14625)

  - drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.11 allows ucma_leave_multicast to access a     certain data structure after a cleanup step in ucma_process_join, which allows attackers to cause a denial     of service (use-after-free). (CVE-2018-14734)

  - arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c in the Linux kernel before 4.18.1 mishandles certain indirect calls, which     makes it easier for attackers to conduct Spectre-v2 attacks against paravirtual guests. (CVE-2018-15594)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.18.6. An information leak in cdrom_ioctl_drive_status     in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c could be used by local attackers to read kernel memory because a cast from     unsigned long to int interferes with bounds checking. This is similar to CVE-2018-10940. (CVE-2018-16658)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel that allows the userspace to call memcpy_fromiovecend() and similar     functions with a zero offset and buffer length which causes the read beyond the buffer boundaries, in     certain cases causing a memory access fault and a system halt by accessing invalid memory address. This     issue only affects kernel version 3.10.x as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. (CVE-2018-16885)

  - Since Linux kernel version 3.2, the mremap() syscall performs TLB flushes after dropping pagetable locks.
    If a syscall such as ftruncate() removes entries from the pagetables of a task that is in the middle of     mremap(), a stale TLB entry can remain for a short time that permits access to a physical page after it     has been released back to the page allocator and reused. This is fixed in the following kernel versions:
    4.9.135, 4.14.78, 4.18.16, 4.19. (CVE-2018-18281)

  - An issue was discovered in the fd_locked_ioctl function in drivers/block/floppy.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.15.7. The floppy driver will copy a kernel pointer to user memory in response to the FDGETPRM     ioctl. An attacker can send the FDGETPRM ioctl and use the obtained kernel pointer to discover the     location of kernel code and data and bypass kernel security protections such as KASLR. (CVE-2018-7755)

  - Memory leak in the hwsim_new_radio_nl function in drivers/net/wireless/mac80211_hwsim.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.15.9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering     an out-of-array error case. (CVE-2018-8087)

  - In the hidp_process_report in bluetooth, there is an integer overflow. This could lead to an out of bounds     write with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
    Product: Android Versions: Android kernel Android ID: A-65853588 References: Upstream kernel.
    (CVE-2018-9363)

  - In hid_debug_events_read of drivers/hid/hid-debug.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a     missing bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges     needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Product: Android Versions: Android kernel Android     ID: A-71361580. (CVE-2018-9516)

  - In pppol2tp_connect, there is possible memory corruption due to a use after free. This could lead to local     escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation. Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID: A-38159931. (CVE-2018-9517)

  - The coredump implementation in the Linux kernel before 5.0.10 does not use locking or other mechanisms to     prevent vma layout or vma flags changes while it runs, which allows local users to obtain sensitive     information, cause a denial of service, or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a race     condition with mmget_not_zero or get_task_mm calls. This is related to fs/userfaultfd.c, mm/mmap.c,     fs/proc/task_mmu.c, and drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c. (CVE-2019-11599)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.7. A NULL pointer dereference can occur when     megasas_create_frame_pool() fails in megasas_alloc_cmds() in drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c.
    This causes a Denial of Service, related to a use-after-free. (CVE-2019-11810)

  - fs/ext4/extents.c in the Linux kernel through 5.1.2 does not zero out the unused memory region in the     extent tree block, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by reading uninitialized     data in the filesystem. (CVE-2019-11833)

  - A heap address information leak while using L2CAP_GET_CONF_OPT was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.1-rc1. (CVE-2019-3459)

  - A heap data infoleak in multiple locations including L2CAP_PARSE_CONF_RSP was found in the Linux kernel     before 5.1-rc1. (CVE-2019-3460)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's vfio interface implementation that permits violation of the user's     locked memory limit. If a device is bound to a vfio driver, such as vfio-pci, and the local attacker is     administratively granted ownership of the device, it may cause a system memory exhaustion and thus a     denial of service (DoS). Versions 3.10, 4.14 and 4.18 are vulnerable. (CVE-2019-3882)

  - An infinite loop issue was found in the vhost_net kernel module in Linux Kernel up to and including     v5.1-rc6, while handling incoming packets in handle_rx(). It could occur if one end sends packets faster     than the other end can process them. A guest user, maybe remote one, could use this flaw to stall the     vhost_net kernel thread, resulting in a DoS scenario. (CVE-2019-3900)

  - The mincore() implementation in mm/mincore.c in the Linux kernel through 4.19.13 allowed local attackers     to observe page cache access patterns of other processes on the same system, potentially allowing sniffing     of secret information. (Fixing this affects the output of the fincore program.) Limited remote     exploitation may be possible, as demonstrated by latency differences in accessing public files from an     Apache HTTP Server. (CVE-2019-5489)

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

  - A buffer overflow in the fribidi_get_par_embedding_levels_ex() function in lib/fribidi-bidi.c of GNU     FriBidi through 1.0.7 allows an attacker to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code     by delivering crafted text content to a user, when this content is then rendered by an application that     uses FriBidi for text layout calculations. Examples include any GNOME or GTK+ based application that uses     Pango for text layout, as this internally uses FriBidi for bidirectional text layout. For example, the     attacker can construct a crafted text file to be opened in GEdit, or a crafted IRC message to be viewed in     HexChat. (CVE-2019-18397)

  - An out-of-bounds access issue was found in the Linux kernel, all versions through 5.3, in the way Linux     kernel's KVM hypervisor implements the Coalesced MMIO write operation. It operates on an MMIO ring buffer     'struct kvm_coalesced_mmio' object, wherein write indices 'ring->first' and 'ring->last' value could be     supplied by a host user-space process. An unprivileged host user or process with access to '/dev/kvm'     device could use this flaw to crash the host kernel, resulting in a denial of service or potentially     escalating privileges on the system. (CVE-2019-14821)

  - In the Linux kernel, a certain net/ipv4/tcp_output.c change, which was properly incorporated into 4.16.12,     was incorrectly backported to the earlier longterm kernels, introducing a new vulnerability that was     potentially more severe than the issue that was intended to be fixed by backporting. Specifically, by     adding to a write queue between disconnection and re-connection, a local attacker can trigger multiple     use-after-free conditions. This can result in a kernel crash, or potentially in privilege escalation.
    NOTE: this affects (for example) Linux distributions that use 4.9.x longterm kernels before 4.9.190 or     4.14.x longterm kernels before 4.14.139. (CVE-2019-15239)

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

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 kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz),     the core of any Linux operating system. The kernel     handles the basic functions of the operating system:
    memory allocation, process allocation, device input and     output, etc.Security Fix(es):A buffer overflow was     discovered in tpacket_rcv() function in the Linux     kernel since v4.6-rc1 through v4.13. A number of     socket-related syscalls can be made to set up a     configuration when each packet received by a network     interface can cause writing up to 10 bytes to a kernel     memory outside of a kernel buffer. This can cause     unspecified kernel data corruption effects, including     damage of in-memory and on-disk XFS     data.(CVE-2017-14497)The qmi_wwan_bind function in     driverset/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)A race condition flaw was found     in the way the Linux kernel's SCTP implementation     handled sctp_accept() during the processing of     heartbeat timeout events. A remote attacker could use     this flaw to prevent further connections to be accepted     by the SCTP server running on the system, resulting in     a denial of service.(CVE-2015-8767)A race condition     flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's KVM     subsystem handled PIT (Programmable Interval Timer)     emulation. A guest user who has access to the PIT I/O     ports could use this flaw to crash the     host.(CVE-2014-3611)The Linux kernel is vulnerable to a     memory leak in the     driverset/wireless/mac80211_hwsim.c:hwsim_new_radio_nl(     ) function. An attacker could exploit this to cause a     potential denial of service.(CVE-2018-8087)An integer     underflow flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's     Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)     implementation processed certain COOKIE_ECHO packets.
    By sending a specially crafted SCTP packet, a remote     attacker could use this flaw to prevent legitimate     connections to a particular SCTP server socket to be     made.(CVE-2014-4667)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     snd_usb_create_streams function in sound/usb/card.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.(CVE-2017-16529)A flaw was     found in the Linux kernel's random number generator     API.

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)arch/arm64/kernel/perf_event.c     in the Linux kernel before 4.1 on arm64 platforms     allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial     of service (invalid pointer dereference) via vectors     involving events that are mishandled during a span of     multiple HW PMUs.(CVE-2015-8955)The aac_compat_ioctl     function in drivers/scsi/aacraid/linit.c in the Linux     kernel before 3.11.8 does not require the CAP_SYS_RAWIO     capability, which allows local users to bypass intended     access restrictions via a crafted ioctl     call.(CVE-2013-6383)Linux kernel before version     4.16-rc7 is vulnerable to a null pointer dereference in     dccp_write_xmit() function in net/dccp/output.c in that     allows a local user to cause a denial of service by a     number of certain crafted system     calls.(CVE-2018-1130)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)A vulnerability was found in the     Linux kernel in function rds_inc_info_copy of file     net/rds/recv.c. The last field 'flags' of object     'minfo' is not initialized. This can leak data     previously at the flags location to     userspace.(CVE-2016-5244)A flaw was found in the     kernel's ACPI interpreter when it does not flush the     operand cache and causes a kernel stack dump. This     allows local users to obtain sensitive information from     kernel memory and bypass the KASLR protection     mechanism.(CVE-2017-13693)It was found that     kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel mishandles     counter grouping, which allows local users to gain     privileges via a crafted application, related to the     perf_pmu_register and perf_event_open     functions.(CVE-2015-9004)The xfs_bmap_extents_to_btree     function in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_bmap.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.16.3 allows local users to cause a     denial of service (xfs_bmapi_write NULL pointer     dereference) via a crafted xfs     image.(CVE-2018-10323)The lrw_crypt() function in     'crypto/lrw.c' in the Linux kernel before 4.5 allows     local users to cause a system crash and a denial of     service by the NULL pointer dereference via accept(2)     system call for AF_ALG socket without calling setkey()     first to set a cipher key.(CVE-2015-8970)The IPv6     fragmentation implementation in the Linux kernel does     not consider that the nexthdr field may be associated     with an invalid option, which allows local users to     cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and BUG)     or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted     socket and send system calls. Due to the nature of the     flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out,     although we believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2017-9074)

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

  - CVE-2017-5715     Multiple researchers have discovered a vulnerability in     various processors supporting speculative execution,     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 Spectre variant 2 (branch target   injection) and is mitigated for the x86 architecture (amd64 and   i386) by using the 'retpoline' compiler feature which allows   indirect branches to be isolated from speculative execution.

  - CVE-2017-5753     Multiple researchers have discovered a vulnerability in     various processors supporting speculative execution,     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 Spectre variant 1 (bounds-check   bypass) and is mitigated by identifying vulnerable code sections   (array bounds checking followed by array access) and replacing the   array access with the speculation-safe array_index_nospec()   function.

  More use sites will be added over time.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 kernel was updated to 4.4.120 to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-13166: An elevation of privilege vulnerability     in the v4l2 video driver was fixed. (bnc#1072865).

  - CVE-2017-15951: The KEYS subsystem did not correctly     synchronize the actions of updating versus finding a key     in the 'negative' state to avoid a race condition, which     allowed local users to cause a denial of service or     possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted     system calls (bnc#1062840 bnc#1065615).

  - CVE-2017-16644: The hdpvr_probe function in     drivers/media/usb/hdpvr/hdpvr-core.c allowed 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 (bnc#1067118).

  - CVE-2017-16912: The 'get_pipe()' function     (drivers/usb/usbip/stub_rx.c) allowed attackers to cause     a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a specially     crafted USB over IP packet (bnc#1078673).

  - CVE-2017-16913: The 'stub_recv_cmd_submit()' function     (drivers/usb/usbip/stub_rx.c) when handling CMD_SUBMIT     packets allowed attackers to cause a denial of service     (arbitrary memory allocation) via a specially crafted     USB over IP packet (bnc#1078672).

  - CVE-2017-17975: Use-after-free in the usbtv_probe     function in drivers/media/usb/usbtv/usbtv-core.c allowed     attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or     possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering     failure of audio registration, because a kfree of the     usbtv data structure occurs during a usbtv_video_free     call, but the usbtv_video_fail label's code attempts to     both access and free this data structure (bnc#1074426).

  - CVE-2017-18208: The madvise_willneed function in     mm/madvise.c allowed local users to cause a denial of     service (infinite loop) by triggering use of     MADVISE_WILLNEED for a DAX mapping (bnc#1083494).

  - CVE-2018-8087: Memory leak in the hwsim_new_radio_nl     function in drivers/net/wireless/mac80211_hwsim.c     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory     consumption) by triggering an out-of-array error case     (bnc#1085053).
