A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the function hid_debug_events_read() in drivers/hid/hid-debug.c file which may enter an infinite loop with certain parameters passed from a userspace. A local privileged user ("root") can cause a system lock up and a denial of service. Versions from v4.18 and newer are vulnerable.

The version of kernel installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2019-3819 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the function hid_debug_events_read() in drivers/hid/hid-debug.c     file which May enter an infinite loop with certain parameters passed from a userspace. A local privileged     user (root) can cause a system lock up and a denial of service. Versions from v4.18 and newer are     vulnerable. (CVE-2019-3819)

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

An update of the linux package has been released.

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS 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):Heap-based buffer overflow     in the udf_load_logicalvol function in fs/udf/super.c     in the Linux kernel before 3.4.5 allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash)     or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted     UDF filesystem.(CVE-2012-3400)The     mmc_ioctl_cdrom_read_data function in     drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c in the Linux kernel through 3.10     allows local users to obtain sensitive information from     kernel memory via a read operation on a malfunctioning     CD-ROM drive.(CVE-2013-2164)The     sctp_sf_do_5_2_4_dupcook function in     net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c in the SCTP implementation in     the Linux kernel before 3.8.5 does not properly handle     associations during the processing of a duplicate     COOKIE ECHO chunk, which allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and     system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact     via crafted SCTP traffic.(CVE-2013-2206)The (1)     get_user and (2) put_user API functions in the Linux     kernel before 3.5.5 on the v6k and v7 ARM platforms do     not validate certain addresses, which allows attackers     to read or modify the contents of arbitrary kernel     memory locations via a crafted application, as     exploited in the wild against Android devices in     October and November 2013.(CVE-2013-6282)An issue was     discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.20. There is a     race condition in smp_task_timedout() and     smp_task_done() in drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c,     leading to a use-after-free.(CVE-2018-20836)The Siemens     R3964 line discipline driver in drivers/tty/n_r3964.c     in the Linux kernel before 5.0.8 has multiple race     conditions.(CVE-2019-11486)The Linux kernel before     5.1-rc5 allows page->_refcount reference count     overflow, with resultant use-after-free issues, if     about 140 GiB of RAM exists. This is related to     fs/fuse/dev.c, fs/pipe.c, fs/splice.c,     include/linux/mm.h, include/linux/pipe_fs_i.h,     kernel/trace/trace.c, mm/gup.c, and mm/hugetlb.c. It     can occur with FUSE requests.(CVE-2019-11487)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)A     n 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)An issue was discovered     in the Linux kernel before 5.0.4. There is a     use-after-free upon attempted read access to     /proc/ioports after the ipmi_si module is removed,     related to drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c,     drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_mem_io.c, and     drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_port_io.c.(CVE-2019-11811)A     flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handle_rx()     function in the [vhost_net] driver. A malicious virtual     guest, under specific conditions, can trigger an     out-of-bounds write in a kmalloc-8 slab on a virtual     host which may lead to a kernel memory corruption and a     system panic. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege     escalation cannot be fully ruled out. Versions from     v4.16 and newer are vulnerable.(CVE-2018-16880)An issue     was discovered in rds_tcp_kill_sock in net/rds/tcp.c in     the Linux kernel before 5.0.8. There is a race     condition leading to a use-after-free, related to net     namespace cleanup.(CVE-2019-11815)A flaw was found in     the Linux kernel in the function     hid_debug_events_read() in drivers/hid/hid-debug.c file     which may enter an infinite loop with certain     parameters passed from a userspace. A local privileged     user ('root') can cause a system lock up and a denial     of service. Versions from v4.18 and newer are     vulnerable.(CVE-2019-3819)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)In     the Linux Kernel before versions 4.20.8 and 4.19.21 a     use-after-free error in the 'sctp_sendmsg()' function     (net/sctp/socket.c) when handling SCTP_SENDALL flag can     be exploited to corrupt memory.(CVE-2019-8956)A flaw     was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of ext4     extent management. The kernel doesn't correctly     initialize memory regions in the extent tree block     which may be exported to a local user to obtain     sensitive information by reading empty/uninitialized     data from the filesystem.(CVE-2019-11833)An issue was     discovered in drm_load_edid_firmware in     drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid_load.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.1.5. There is an unchecked kstrdup of fwstr,     which might allow an attacker to cause a denial of     service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash).
    NOTE: The vendor disputes this issues as not being a     vulnerability because kstrdup() returning NULL is     handled sufficiently and there is no chance for a NULL     pointer dereference.(CVE-2019-12382)An issue was     discovered in the efi subsystem in the Linux kernel     through 5.1.5. phys_efi_set_virtual_address_map in     arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c and efi_call_phys_prolog in     arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_64.c mishandle memory     allocation failures. NOTE: This id is disputed as not     being an issue because ?All the code touched by the     referenced commit runs only at boot, before any user     processes are started. Therefore, there is no     possibility for an unprivileged user to control     it.(CVE-2019-12380)An issue was discovered in the Linux     kernel before 5.2.3. An out of bounds access exists in     the function hclge_tm_schd_mode_vnet_base_cfg in the     file drivers     et/ethernet/hisilicon/hns3/hns3pf/hclge_tm.c.(CVE-2019-     15925)An issue was discovered in     dlpar_parse_cc_property in     arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dlpar.c in the Linux     kernel through 5.1.6. There is an unchecked kstrdup of     prop-i1/4zname, which might allow an attacker to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system     crash).(CVE-2019-12614)An issue was discovered in     net/ipv4/sysctl_net_ipv4.c in the Linux kernel before     5.0.11. There is a net/ipv4/tcp_input.c signed integer     overflow in tcp_ack_update_rtt() when userspace writes     a very large integer to     /proc/syset/ipv4/tcp_min_rtt_wlen, leading to a denial     of service or possibly unspecified other impact, aka     CID-19fad20d15a6.(CVE-2019-18805)A flaw was found in     the way PTRACE_TRACEME functionality was handled in the     Linux kernel. The kernel's implementation of ptrace can     inadvertently grant elevated permissions to an attacker     who can then abuse the relationship between the tracer     and the process being traced. This flaw could allow a     local, unprivileged user to increase their privileges     on the system or cause a denial of     service.(CVE-2019-13272)An issue was discovered in     ip6_ra_control in net/ipv6/ipv6_sockglue.c in the Linux     kernel through 5.1.5. There is an unchecked kmalloc of     new_ra, which might allow an attacker to cause a denial     of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash).
    NOTE: This has been disputed as not an     issue.(CVE-2019-12378)An issue was discovered in     ip_ra_control in net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c in the Linux     kernel through 5.1.5. There is an unchecked kmalloc of     new_ra, which might allow an attacker to cause a denial     of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash).
    NOTE: this is disputed because new_ra is never used if     it is NULL.(CVE-2019-12381)An issue was discovered in     sunxi_divs_clk_setup in drivers/clk/sunxi/clk-sunxi.c     in the Linux kernel through 5.1.5. There is an     unchecked kstrndup of derived_name, which might allow     an attacker to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and system crash). NOTE: This id is     disputed as not being an issue because 'The memory     allocation that was not checked is part of a code that     only runs at boot time, before user processes are     started. Therefore, there is no possibility for an     unprivileged user to control it, and no denial of     service.'.(CVE-2019-12455)An issue was discovered in     the MPT3COMMAND case in _ctl_ioctl_main in     drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_ctl.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.1.5. It allows local users to cause a denial     of service or possibly have unspecified other impact by     changing the value of ioc_number between two kernel     reads of that value, aka a ''double fetch''     vulnerability. NOTE: a third party reports that this is     unexploitable because the doubly fetched value is not     used.(CVE-2019-12456)An issue was discovered in     get_vdev_port_node_info in arch/sparc/kernel/mdesc.c in     the Linux kernel through 5.1.6. There is an unchecked     kstrdup_const of node_info-i1/4zvdev_port.name, which     might allow an attacker to cause a denial of service     (NULL pointer dereference and system     crash).(CVE-2019-12615)In parse_hid_report_descriptor     in drivers/input/tablet/gtco.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.2.1, a malicious USB device can send an HID     report that triggers an out-of-bounds write during     generation of debugging messages.(CVE-2019-13631)A     vulnerability was found in the Linux kernelaEURtms floppy     disk driver implementation. A local attacker with     access to the floppy device could call set_geometry in     drivers/block/floppy.c, which does not validate the     sect and head fields, causing an integer overflow and     out-of-bounds read. This flaw may crash the system or     allow an attacker to gather information causing     subsequent successful     attacks.(CVE-2019-14283)check_input_term in     sound/usb/mixer.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.9     mishandles recursion, leading to kernel stack     exhaustion.(CVE-2019-15118)An issue was discovered in     the Linux kernel before 5.2.6. There is a     use-after-free caused by a malicious USB device in the     drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-dev.c driver because     drivers/media/radio/radio-raremono.c does not properly     allocate memory.(CVE-2019-15211)An issue was discovered     in the Linux kernel before 5.0.10. There is a     use-after-free in the sound subsystem because card     disconnection causes certain data structures to be     deleted too early. This is related to sound/core/init.c     and sound/core/info.c.(CVE-2019-15214)An issue was     discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.1.8. There is a     NULL pointer dereference caused by a malicious USB     device in the drivers/media/usb/siano/smsusb.c     driver.(CVE-2019-15218)An issue was discovered in the     Linux kernel before 5.1.8. There is a NULL pointer     dereference caused by a malicious USB device in the     drivers/usb/misc/sisusbvga/sisusb.c     driver.(CVE-2019-15219)An issue was discovered in the     Linux kernel before 5.2.1. There is a use-after-free     caused by a malicious USB device in the     driverset/wireless/intersil/p54/p54usb.c     driver.(CVE-2019-15220)An issue was discovered in the     Linux kernel before 5.1.17. There is a NULL pointer     dereference caused by a malicious USB device in the     sound/usb/line6/pcm.c driver.(CVE-2019-15221)An issue     was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.9. There     is a use-after-free in atalk_proc_exit, related to     net/appletalk/atalk_proc.c, net/appletalk/ddp.c, and     net/appletalk/sysctl_net_atalk.c.(CVE-2019-15292)An     issue was discovered in xfs_setattr_nonsize in     fs/xfs/xfs_iops.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.9.
    XFS partially wedges when a chgrp fails on account of     being out of disk quota. xfs_setattr_nonsize is failing     to unlock the ILOCK after the xfs_qm_vop_chown_reserve     call fails. This is primarily a local DoS attack     vector, but it might result as well in remote DoS if     the XFS filesystem is exported for instance via     NFS.(CVE-2019-15538)An issue was discovered in the     Linux kernel before 5.0.19. There is an out-of-bounds     array access in __xfrm_policy_unlink, which will cause     denial of service, because verify_newpolicy_info in     net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c mishandles directory     validation.(CVE-2019-15666)In the Linux kernel before     5.1.13, there is a memory leak in     drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c when SAS expander     discovery fails. This will cause a BUG and denial of     service.(CVE-2019-15807)An issue was discovered in the     Linux kernel before 5.0.5. There is a use-after-free     issue when hci_uart_register_dev() fails in     hci_uart_set_proto() in     drivers/bluetooth/hci_ldisc.c.(CVE-2019-15917)An issue     was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.10.
    SMB2_write in fs/cifs/smb2pdu.c has a     use-after-free.(CVE-2019-15919)An issue was discovered     in the Linux kernel before 5.0.10. SMB2_read in     fs/cifs/smb2pdu.c has a use-after-free. NOTE: this was     not fixed correctly in 5.0.10 see the 5.0.11 ChangeLog,     which documents a memory leak.(CVE-2019-15920)An issue     was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.4. The 9p     filesystem did not protect i_size_write() properly,     which causes an i_size_read() infinite loop and denial     of service on SMP systems.(CVE-2019-16413)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-2019-3701)A flaw was found in the Linux     kernel's Marvell wifi chip driver. A heap overflow in     mwifiex_update_bss_desc_with_ie function in     marvell/mwifiex/scan.c allows remote attackers to cause     a denial of service(system crash) or execute arbitrary     code.(CVE-2019-3846)A new software page cache side     channel attack scenario was discovered in operating     systems that implement the very common 'page cache'     caching mechanism. A malicious user/process could use     'in memory' page-cache knowledge to infer access     timings to shared memory and gain knowledge which can     be used to reduce effectiveness of cryptographic     strength by monitoring algorithmic behavior, infer     access patterns of memory to determine code paths     taken, and exfiltrate data to a blinded attacker     through page-granularity access times as a     side-channel.(CVE-2019-5489)In the Android kernel in     the video driver there is a kernel pointer leak due to     a WARN_ON statement. This could lead to local     information disclosure with System execution privileges     needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation.(CVE-2019-9455)A vulnerability was found     in the arch/x86/lib/insn-eval.c function in the Linux     kernel. An attacker could corrupt the memory due to a     flaw in use-after-free access to an LDT entry caused by     a race condition between modify_ldt() and a #BR     exception for an MPX bounds violation.(CVE-2019-13233)

CVE-2018-20855: An issue was discovered in create_qp_common in drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/qp.c, mlx5_ib_create_qp_resp was never initialized, resulting in a leak of stack memory to userspace (bsc#1143045).

CVE-2019-14284: The drivers/block/floppy.c allowed a denial of service by setup_format_params division-by-zero. Two consecutive ioctls can trigger the bug: the first one should set the drive geometry with .sect and .rate values that make F_SECT_PER_TRACK be zero. Next, the floppy format operation should be called. It can be triggered by an unprivileged local user even when a floppy disk has not been inserted.
NOTE: QEMU creates the floppy device by default (bsc#1143189).

CVE-2019-14283: The function set_geometry in drivers/block/floppy.c did not validate the sect and head fields, as demonstrated by an integer overflow and out-of-bounds read. It can be triggered by an unprivileged local user when a floppy disk has been inserted. NOTE:
QEMU creates the floppy device by default (bsc#1143191).

CVE-2019-11810: 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 (bsc#1134399).

CVE-2019-13648: In the Linux kernel on the powerpc platform, when hardware transactional memory is disabled, a local user can cause a denial of service (TM Bad Thing exception and system crash) via a sigreturn() system call that sends a crafted signal frame.

A local privileged user ('root') can cause a     system lock up and a denial of     service.(CVE-2019-3819)In the Linux kernel before     4.20.14, expand_downwards in mm/mmap.c lacks a check     for the mmap minimum address, which makes it easier for     attackers to exploit kernel NULL pointer dereferences     on non-SMAP platforms. This is related to a capability     check for the wrong task.(CVE-2019-9213)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)It was found that the net_dma     code in tcp_recvmsg() in the 2.6.32 kernel as shipped     in RHEL6 is thread-unsafe. So an unprivileged     multi-threaded userspace application calling recvmsg()     for the same network socket in parallel executed on     ioatdma-enabled hardware with net_dma enabled can leak     the memory, crash the host leading to a     denial-of-service or cause a random memory     corruption.(CVE-2019-3837)A race condition in     perf_event_open() allows local attackers to leak     sensitive data from setuid programs. As no relevant     locks (in particular the cred_guard_mutex) are held     during the ptrace_may_access() call, it is possible for     the specified target task to perform an execve()     syscall with setuid execution before perf_event_alloc()     actually attaches to it, allowing an attacker to bypass     the ptrace_may_access() check and the     perf_event_exit_task(current) call that is performed in     install_exec_creds() during privileged execve() calls.

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

CVE-2018-14625

A use-after-free bug was found in the vhost driver for the Virtual Socket protocol. If this driver is used to communicate with a malicious virtual machine guest, the guest could read sensitive information from the host kernel.

CVE-2018-16884

A flaw was found in the NFS 4.1 client implementation. Mounting NFS shares in multiple network namespaces at the same time could lead to a user-after-free. Local users might be able to use this for denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

This can be mitigated by disabling unprivileged users from creating user namespaces, which is the default in Debian.

CVE-2018-19824

Hui Peng and Mathias Payer discovered a use-after-free bug in the USB audio driver. A physically present attacker able to attach a specially designed USB device could use this for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-19985

Hui Peng and Mathias Payer discovered a missing bounds check in the hso USB serial driver. A physically present user able to attach a specially designed USB device could use this to read sensitive information from the kernel or to cause a denial of service (crash).

CVE-2018-20169

Hui Peng and Mathias Payer discovered missing bounds checks in the USB core. A physically present attacker able to attach a specially designed USB device could use this to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-1000026

It was discovered that Linux could forward aggregated network packets with a segmentation size too large for the output device. In the specific case of Broadcom NetXtremeII 10Gb adapters, this would result in a denial of service (firmware crash). This update adds a mitigation to the bnx2x driver for this hardware.

CVE-2019-3459, CVE-2019-3460

Shlomi Oberman, Yuli Shapiro and Karamba Security Ltd. research team discovered missing range checks in the Bluetooth L2CAP implementation.
If Bluetooth is enabled, a nearby attacker could use these to read sensitive information from the kernel.

CVE-2019-3701

Muyu Yu and Marcus Meissner reported that the CAN gateway implementation allowed the frame length to be modified, typically resulting in out-of-bounds memory-mapped I/O writes. On a system with CAN devices present, a local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability in the initial net namespace could use this to cause a crash (oops) or other hardware-dependent impact.

CVE-2019-3819

A potential infinite loop was discovered in the HID debugfs interface exposed under /sys/kernel/debug/hid. A user with access to these files could use this for denial of service.

This interface is only accessible to root by default, which fully mitigates the issue.

CVE-2019-6974

Jann Horn reported a use-after-free bug in KVM. A local user with access to /dev/kvm could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-7221

Jim Mattson and Felix Wilhelm reported a user-after-free bug in KVM's nested VMX implementation. On systems with Intel CPUs, a local user with access to /dev/kvm could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

Nested VMX is disabled by default, which fully mitigates the issue.

CVE-2019-7222

Felix Wilhelm reported an information leak in KVM for x86. A local user with access to /dev/kvm could use this to read sensitive information from the kernel.

CVE-2019-8980

A bug was discovered in the kernel_read_file() function used to load firmware files. In certain error conditions it could leak memory, which might lead to a denial of service. This is probbaly not exploitable in a Debian system.

CVE-2019-9213

Jann Horn reported that privileged tasks could cause stack segments, including those in other processes, to grow downward to address 0. On systems lacking SMAP (x86) or PAN (ARM), this exacerbated other vulnerabilities: a NULL pointer dereference could be exploited for privilege escalation rather than only for denial of service.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 4.9.168-1~deb8u1. This version also includes fixes for Debian bugs #904385, #918103, and #922306; and other fixes included in upstream stable updates.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux-4.9 and linux-latest-4.9 packages. You will need to use 'apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs' or 'apt upgrade' as the binary package names have changed.

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

  - 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-2019-3701)

  - A flaw was found in mmap in the Linux kernel allowing     the process to map a null page. This allows attackers     to abuse this mechanism to turn null pointer     dereferences into workable exploits.(CVE-2019-9213)

  - 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.i1/4^CVE-2018-16862i1/4%0

  - It was found that the raw midi kernel driver does not     protect against concurrent access which leads to a     double realloc (double free) in     snd_rawmidi_input_params() and     snd_rawmidi_output_status() which are part of     snd_rawmidi_ioctl() handler in rawmidi.c file. A     malicious local attacker could possibly use this for     privilege escalation.i1/4^CVE-2018-10902i1/4%0

  - In the function wmi_set_ie() in the Linux kernel the     length validation code does not handle unsigned integer     overflow properly. As a result, a large value of the     aEUR~ie_lenaEURtm argument can cause a buffer overflow and     thus a memory corruption leading to a system crash or     other or unspecified impact. Due to the nature of the     flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out,     although we believe it is unlikely.i1/4^CVE-2018-5848i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the function     hid_debug_events_read() in the drivers/hid/hid-debug.c     file which may enter an infinite loop with certain     parameters passed from a user space. A local privileged     user ('root') can cause a system lock up and a denial     of service.i1/4^CVE-2019-3819i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the     hid_debug_events_read() function in the     drivers/hid/hid-debug.c file. A lack of the certain     checks may allow a privileged user ('root') to achieve     an out-of-bounds write and thus receiving user space     buffer corruption.i1/4^CVE-2018-9516i1/4%0

The linux update issued as DLA-1731-1 caused a regression in the vmxnet3 (VMware virtual network adapter) driver. This update corrects that regression, and an earlier regression in the CIFS network filesystem implementation introduced in DLA-1422-1. For reference the original advisory text follows.

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

CVE-2016-10741

A race condition was discovered in XFS that would result in a crash (BUG). A local user permitted to write to an XFS volume could use this for denial of service.

CVE-2017-5753

Further instances of code that was vulnerable to Spectre variant 1 (bounds-check bypass) have been mitigated.

CVE-2017-13305

A memory over-read was discovered in the keys subsystem's encrypted key type. A local user could use this for denial of service or possibly to read sensitive information.

CVE-2018-3639 (SSB)

Multiple researchers have discovered that Speculative Store Bypass (SSB), a feature implemented in many processors, could be used to read sensitive information from another context. In particular, code in a software sandbox may be able to read sensitive information from outside the sandbox. This issue is also known as Spectre variant 4.

This update fixes bugs in the mitigations for SSB for AMD processors.

CVE-2018-5848

The wil6210 wifi driver did not properly validate lengths in scan and connection requests, leading to a possible buffer overflow. On systems using this driver, a local user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability could use this for denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or potentially for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-5953

The swiotlb subsystem printed kernel memory addresses to the system log, which could help a local attacker to exploit other vulnerabilities.

CVE-2018-12896, CVE-2018-13053

Team OWL337 reported possible integer overflows in the POSIX timer implementation. These might have some security impact.

CVE-2018-16862

Vasily Averin and Pavel Tikhomirov from Virtuozzo Kernel Team discovered that the cleancache memory management feature did not invalidate cached data for deleted files. On Xen guests using the tmem driver, local users could potentially read data from other users' deleted files if they were able to create new files on the same volume.

CVE-2018-16884

A flaw was found in the NFS 4.1 client implementation. Mounting NFS shares in multiple network namespaces at the same time could lead to a user-after-free. Local users might be able to use this for denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

This can be mitigated by disabling unprivileged users from creating user namespaces, which is the default in Debian.

CVE-2018-17972

Jann Horn reported that the /proc/*/stack files in procfs leaked sensitive data from the kernel. These files are now only readable by users with the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability (usually only root)

CVE-2018-18281

Jann Horn reported a race condition in the virtual memory manager that can result in a process briefly having access to memory after it is freed and reallocated. A local user permitted to create containers could possibly exploit this for denial of service (memory corruption) or for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-18690

Kanda Motohiro reported that XFS did not correctly handle some xattr (extended attribute) writes that require changing the disk format of the xattr. A user with access to an XFS volume could use this for denial of service.

CVE-2018-18710

It was discovered that the cdrom driver does not correctly validate the parameter to the CDROM_SELECT_DISC ioctl. A user with access to a cdrom device could use this to read sensitive information from the kernel or to cause a denial of service (crash).

CVE-2018-19824

Hui Peng and Mathias Payer discovered a use-after-free bug in the USB audio driver. A physically present attacker able to attach a specially designed USB device could use this for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-19985

Hui Peng and Mathias Payer discovered a missing bounds check in the hso USB serial driver. A physically present user able to attach a specially designed USB device could use this to read sensitive information from the kernel or to cause a denial of service (crash).

CVE-2018-20169

Hui Peng and Mathias Payer discovered missing bounds checks in the USB core. A physically present attacker able to attach a specially designed USB device could use this to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-20511

InfoSect reported an information leak in the AppleTalk IP/DDP implemntation. A local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability could use this to read sensitive information from the kernel.

CVE-2019-3701

Muyu Yu and Marcus Meissner reported that the CAN gateway implementation allowed the frame length to be modified, typically resulting in out-of-bounds memory-mapped I/O writes. On a system with CAN devices present, a local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability in the initial net namespace could use this to cause a crash (oops) or other hardware-dependent impact.

CVE-2019-3819

A potential infinite loop was discovered in the HID debugfs interface exposed under /sys/kernel/debug/hid. A user with access to these files could use this for denial of service.

This interface is only accessible to root by default, which fully mitigates the issue.

CVE-2019-6974

Jann Horn reported a use-after-free bug in KVM. A local user with access to /dev/kvm could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-7221

Jim Mattson and Felix Wilhelm reported a user-after-free bug in KVM's nested VMX implementation. On systems with Intel CPUs, a local user with access to /dev/kvm could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

Nested VMX is disabled by default, which fully mitigates the issue.

CVE-2019-7222

Felix Wilhelm reported an information leak in KVM for x86. A local user with access to /dev/kvm could use this to read sensitive information from the kernel.

CVE-2019-9213

Jann Horn reported that privileged tasks could cause stack segments, including those in other processes, to grow downward to address 0. On systems lacking SMAP (x86) or PAN (ARM), this exacerbated other vulnerabilities: a NULL pointer dereference could be exploited for privilege escalation rather than only for denial of service.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 3.16.64-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP4 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2018-20669: Missing access control checks in ioctl of gpu/drm/i915 driver were fixed which might have lead to information leaks.
(bnc#1122971).

CVE-2019-3459, CVE-2019-3460: The Bluetooth stack suffered from two remote information leak vulnerabilities in the code that handles incoming L2cap configuration packets (bsc#1120758).

CVE-2019-3819: A flaw was found in the function hid_debug_events_read() in drivers/hid/hid-debug.c file which may enter an infinite loop with certain parameters passed from a userspace. A local privileged user ('root') can cause a system lock up and a denial of service. (bnc#1123161).

CVE-2019-6974: kvm_ioctl_create_device in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c mishandled reference counting because of a race condition, leading to a use-after-free (bnc#1124728 ).

CVE-2019-7221: Fixed a use-after-free vulnerability in the KVM hypervisor related to the emulation of a preemption timer, allowing an guest user/process to crash the host kernel. (bsc#1124732).

CVE-2019-7222: Fixed an information leakage in the KVM hypervisor related to handling page fault exceptions, which allowed a guest user/process to use this flaw to leak the host's stack memory contents to a guest (bsc#1124735).

CVE-2019-7308: kernel/bpf/verifier.c performed 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 (bnc#1124055).

CVE-2019-8912: af_alg_release() in crypto/af_alg.c neglects to set a NULL value for a certain structure member, which leads to a use-after-free in sockfs_setattr (bnc#1125907).

CVE-2019-8980: A memory leak in the kernel_read_file function in fs/exec.c allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering vfs_read failures (bnc#1126209).

CVE-2019-9213: expand_downwards in mm/mmap.c lacked a check for the mmap minimum address, which made it easier for attackers to exploit kernel NULL pointer dereferences on non-SMAP platforms. This is related to a capability check for the wrong task (bnc#1128166).

CVE-2019-2024: A use-after-free when disconnecting a source was fixed which could lead to crashes. bnc#1129179).

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