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. This issue affects kernel versions before 4.8.

The remote CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:1070 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.1.4, a buffer overflow occurs when checking userspace params in     drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cx24116.c. The maximum size for a DiSEqC command is 6, according to the     userspace API. However, the code allows larger values such as 23. (CVE-2015-9289)

  - The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.14.6 omitted an access-control check when adding a key to     the current task's default request-key keyring via the request_key() system call, allowing a local user     to use a sequence of crafted system calls to add keys to a keyring with only Search permission (not Write     permission) to that keyring, related to construct_get_dest_keyring() in security/keys/request_key.c.
    (CVE-2017-17807)

  - The function hso_get_config_data in drivers/net/usb/hso.c in the Linux kernel through 4.19.8 reads if_num     from the USB device (as a u8) and uses it to index a small array, resulting in an object out-of-bounds     (OOB) read that potentially allows arbitrary read in the kernel address space. (CVE-2018-19985)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.19.9. The USB subsystem mishandles size checks during     the reading of an extra descriptor, related to __usb_get_extra_descriptor in drivers/usb/core/usb.c.
    (CVE-2018-20169)

  - In the tun subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.13.14, dev_get_valid_name is not called before     register_netdevice. This allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and     panic) via an ioctl(TUNSETIFF) call with a dev name containing a / character. This is similar to     CVE-2013-4343. (CVE-2018-7191)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth implementation of UART, all versions kernel 3.x.x before     4.18.0 and kernel 5.x.x. An attacker with local access and write permissions to the Bluetooth hardware     could use this flaw to issue a specially crafted ioctl function call and cause the system to crash.
    (CVE-2019-10207)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.1.7, a device can be tracked by an attacker using the IP ID values the kernel     produces for connection-less protocols (e.g., UDP and ICMP). When such traffic is sent to multiple     destination IP addresses, it is possible to obtain hash collisions (of indices to the counter array) and     thereby obtain the hashing key (via enumeration). An attack may be conducted by hosting a crafted web page     that uses WebRTC or gQUIC to force UDP traffic to attacker-controlled IP addresses. (CVE-2019-10638)

  - The Linux kernel 4.x (starting from 4.1) and 5.x before 5.0.8 allows Information Exposure (partial kernel     address disclosure), leading to a KASLR bypass. Specifically, it is possible to extract the KASLR kernel     image offset using the IP ID values the kernel produces for connection-less protocols (e.g., UDP and     ICMP). When such traffic is sent to multiple destination IP addresses, it is possible to obtain hash     collisions (of indices to the counter array) and thereby obtain the hashing key (via enumeration). This     key contains enough bits from a kernel address (of a static variable) so when the key is extracted (via     enumeration), the offset of the kernel image is exposed. This attack can be carried out remotely, by the     attacker forcing the target device to send UDP or ICMP (or certain other) traffic to attacker-controlled     IP addresses. Forcing a server to send UDP traffic is trivial if the server is a DNS server. ICMP traffic     is trivial if the server answers ICMP Echo requests (ping). For client targets, if the target visits the     attacker's web page, then WebRTC or gQUIC can be used to force UDP traffic to attacker-controlled IP     addresses. NOTE: this attack against KASLR became viable in 4.1 because IP ID generation was changed to     have a dependency on an address associated with a network namespace. (CVE-2019-10639)

  - The Linux kernel before 4.8 allows local users to bypass ASLR on setuid programs (such as /bin/su) because     install_exec_creds() is called too late in load_elf_binary() in fs/binfmt_elf.c, and thus the     ptrace_may_access() check has a race condition when reading /proc/pid/stat. (CVE-2019-11190)

  - The do_hidp_sock_ioctl function in net/bluetooth/hidp/sock.c in the Linux kernel before 5.0.15 allows a     local user to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a HIDPCONNADD command,     because a name field may not end with a '\0' character. (CVE-2019-11884)

  - 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)

  - In arch/x86/lib/insn-eval.c in the Linux kernel before 5.1.9, there is a use-after-free for access to an     LDT entry because of a race condition between modify_ldt() and a #BR exception for an MPX bounds     violation. (CVE-2019-13233)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.2.3, set_geometry in drivers/block/floppy.c does 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. (CVE-2019-14283)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel, where a Heap Overflow was found in mwifiex_set_wmm_params()     function of Marvell Wifi Driver. (CVE-2019-14815)

  - 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 5.0.1. There is a memory leak in     register_queue_kobjects() in net/core/net-sysfs.c, which will cause denial of service. (CVE-2019-15916)

  - An issue was discovered in net/wireless/nl80211.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.17. It does not check     the length of variable elements in a beacon head, leading to a buffer overflow. (CVE-2019-16746)

  - 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. This issue affects kernel versions before 4.8. (CVE-2019-3901)

  - The Broadcom brcmfmac WiFi driver prior to commit a4176ec356c73a46c07c181c6d04039fafa34a9f is vulnerable     to a frame validation bypass. If the brcmfmac driver receives a firmware event frame from a remote source,     the is_wlc_event_frame function will cause this frame to be discarded and unprocessed. If the driver     receives the firmware event frame from the host, the appropriate handler is called. This frame validation     can be bypassed if the bus used is USB (for instance by a wifi dongle). This can allow firmware event     frames from a remote source to be processed. 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-2019-9503)

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - kernel: Buffer overflow due to unbounded strcpy in ISDN I4L driver (CVE-2017-12762)

  - kernel: buffer-overflow hardening in WiFi beacon validation code. (CVE-2019-16746)

  - include/linux/init_task.h in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35 does not prevent signals with a process group     ID of zero from reaching the swapper process, which allows local users to cause a denial of service     (system crash) by leveraging access to this process group. (CVE-2010-5328)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

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 remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address security updates:

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

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has kernel-rt packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - The fix for CVE-2019-11599, affecting the Linux kernel before 5.0.10 was not complete. A local user could     use this flaw to obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service, or possibly have other     unspecified impacts by triggering a race condition with mmget_not_zero or get_task_mm calls.
    (CVE-2019-14898)

  - 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. This issue affects kernel versions before 4.8. (CVE-2019-3901)

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

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.1.4, a buffer overflow occurs when checking userspace params in     drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cx24116.c. The maximum size for a DiSEqC command is 6, according to the     userspace API. However, the code allows larger values such as 23. (CVE-2015-9289)

  - The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.14.6 omitted an access-control check when adding a key to     the current task's default request-key keyring via the request_key() system call, allowing a local user     to use a sequence of crafted system calls to add keys to a keyring with only Search permission (not Write     permission) to that keyring, related to construct_get_dest_keyring() in security/keys/request_key.c.
    (CVE-2017-17807)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.19.9. The USB subsystem mishandles size checks during     the reading of an extra descriptor, related to __usb_get_extra_descriptor in drivers/usb/core/usb.c.
    (CVE-2018-20169)

  - In the tun subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.13.14, dev_get_valid_name is not called before     register_netdevice. This allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and     panic) via an ioctl(TUNSETIFF) call with a dev name containing a / character. This is similar to     CVE-2013-4343. (CVE-2018-7191)

  - 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)

  - ** DISPUTED ** 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)

  - In arch/x86/lib/insn-eval.c in the Linux kernel before 5.1.9, there is a use-after-free for access to an     LDT entry because of a race condition between modify_ldt() and a #BR exception for an MPX bounds     violation. (CVE-2019-13233)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.2.3, set_geometry in drivers/block/floppy.c does 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. (CVE-2019-14283)

  - There is heap-based buffer overflow in kernel, all versions up to, excluding 5.3, in the marvell wifi chip     driver in Linux kernel, that allows local users to cause a denial of service(system crash) or possibly     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-14816)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in the Linux kernel, all versions 3.x.x and 4.x.x before     4.18.0, in Marvell WiFi chip driver. The flaw could occur when the station attempts a connection     negotiation during the handling of the remote devices country settings. This could allow the remote device     to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-14895)

  - The fix for CVE-2019-11599, affecting the Linux kernel before 5.0.10 was not complete. A local user could     use this flaw to obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service, or possibly have other     unspecified impacts by triggering a race condition with mmget_not_zero or get_task_mm calls.
    (CVE-2019-14898)

  - A heap overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel, all versions 3.x.x and 4.x.x before 4.18.0, in Marvell     WiFi chip driver. The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a system crash, resulting in a     denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. The highest threat with this vulnerability is with the     availability of the system. If code execution occurs, the code will run with the permissions of root. This     will affect both confidentiality and integrity of files on the system. (CVE-2019-14901)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.1. There is a memory leak in     register_queue_kobjects() in net/core/net-sysfs.c, which will cause denial of service. (CVE-2019-15916)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.3.2, cfg80211_mgd_wext_giwessid in net/wireless/wext-sme.c does not reject a     long SSID IE, leading to a Buffer Overflow. (CVE-2019-17133)

  - rtl_p2p_noa_ie in drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/ps.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.6 lacks a     certain upper-bound check, leading to a buffer overflow. (CVE-2019-17666)

  - A flaw was found in the fix for CVE-2019-11135, in the Linux upstream kernel versions before 5.5 where,     the way Intel CPUs handle speculative execution of instructions when a TSX Asynchronous Abort (TAA) error     occurs. When a guest is running on a host CPU affected by the TAA flaw (TAA_NO=0), but is not affected by     the MDS issue (MDS_NO=1), the guest was to clear the affected buffers by using a VERW instruction     mechanism. But when the MDS_NO=1 bit was exported to the guests, the guests did not use the VERW mechanism     to clear the affected buffers. This issue affects guests running on Cascade Lake CPUs and requires that     host has 'TSX' enabled. Confidentiality of data is the highest threat associated with this vulnerability.
    (CVE-2019-19338)

  - 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. This issue affects kernel versions before 4.8. (CVE-2019-3901)

  - In the Android kernel in Pixel C USB monitor driver there is a possible OOB 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. (CVE-2019-9456)

  - The Broadcom brcmfmac WiFi driver prior to commit a4176ec356c73a46c07c181c6d04039fafa34a9f is vulnerable     to a frame validation bypass. If the brcmfmac driver receives a firmware event frame from a remote source,     the is_wlc_event_frame function will cause this frame to be discarded and unprocessed. If the driver     receives the firmware event frame from the host, the appropriate handler is called. This frame validation     can be bypassed if the bus used is USB (for instance by a wifi dongle). This can allow firmware event     frames from a remote source to be processed. 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-2019-9503)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SELinux subsystem in versions before 5.7.
    This flaw occurs while importing the Commercial IP Security Option (CIPSO) protocol's category bitmap into     the SELinux extensible bitmap via the' ebitmap_netlbl_import' routine. While processing the CIPSO     restricted bitmap tag in the 'cipso_v4_parsetag_rbm' routine, it sets the security attribute to indicate     that the category bitmap is present, even if it has not been allocated. This issue leads to a NULL pointer     dereference issue while importing the same category bitmap into SELinux. This flaw allows a remote network     user to crash the system kernel, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2020-10711)

The remote CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:1016 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.1.4, a buffer overflow occurs when checking userspace params in     drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cx24116.c. The maximum size for a DiSEqC command is 6, according to the     userspace API. However, the code allows larger values such as 23. (CVE-2015-9289)

  - The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.14.6 omitted an access-control check when adding a key to     the current task's default request-key keyring via the request_key() system call, allowing a local user     to use a sequence of crafted system calls to add keys to a keyring with only Search permission (not Write     permission) to that keyring, related to construct_get_dest_keyring() in security/keys/request_key.c.
    (CVE-2017-17807)

  - The function hso_get_config_data in drivers/net/usb/hso.c in the Linux kernel through 4.19.8 reads if_num     from the USB device (as a u8) and uses it to index a small array, resulting in an object out-of-bounds     (OOB) read that potentially allows arbitrary read in the kernel address space. (CVE-2018-19985)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.19.9. The USB subsystem mishandles size checks during     the reading of an extra descriptor, related to __usb_get_extra_descriptor in drivers/usb/core/usb.c.
    (CVE-2018-20169)

  - In the tun subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.13.14, dev_get_valid_name is not called before     register_netdevice. This allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and     panic) via an ioctl(TUNSETIFF) call with a dev name containing a / character. This is similar to     CVE-2013-4343. (CVE-2018-7191)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth implementation of UART, all versions kernel 3.x.x before     4.18.0 and kernel 5.x.x. An attacker with local access and write permissions to the Bluetooth hardware     could use this flaw to issue a specially crafted ioctl function call and cause the system to crash.
    (CVE-2019-10207)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.1.7, a device can be tracked by an attacker using the IP ID values the kernel     produces for connection-less protocols (e.g., UDP and ICMP). When such traffic is sent to multiple     destination IP addresses, it is possible to obtain hash collisions (of indices to the counter array) and     thereby obtain the hashing key (via enumeration). An attack may be conducted by hosting a crafted web page     that uses WebRTC or gQUIC to force UDP traffic to attacker-controlled IP addresses. (CVE-2019-10638)

  - The Linux kernel 4.x (starting from 4.1) and 5.x before 5.0.8 allows Information Exposure (partial kernel     address disclosure), leading to a KASLR bypass. Specifically, it is possible to extract the KASLR kernel     image offset using the IP ID values the kernel produces for connection-less protocols (e.g., UDP and     ICMP). When such traffic is sent to multiple destination IP addresses, it is possible to obtain hash     collisions (of indices to the counter array) and thereby obtain the hashing key (via enumeration). This     key contains enough bits from a kernel address (of a static variable) so when the key is extracted (via     enumeration), the offset of the kernel image is exposed. This attack can be carried out remotely, by the     attacker forcing the target device to send UDP or ICMP (or certain other) traffic to attacker-controlled     IP addresses. Forcing a server to send UDP traffic is trivial if the server is a DNS server. ICMP traffic     is trivial if the server answers ICMP Echo requests (ping). For client targets, if the target visits the     attacker's web page, then WebRTC or gQUIC can be used to force UDP traffic to attacker-controlled IP     addresses. NOTE: this attack against KASLR became viable in 4.1 because IP ID generation was changed to     have a dependency on an address associated with a network namespace. (CVE-2019-10639)

  - The Linux kernel before 4.8 allows local users to bypass ASLR on setuid programs (such as /bin/su) because     install_exec_creds() is called too late in load_elf_binary() in fs/binfmt_elf.c, and thus the     ptrace_may_access() check has a race condition when reading /proc/pid/stat. (CVE-2019-11190)

  - The do_hidp_sock_ioctl function in net/bluetooth/hidp/sock.c in the Linux kernel before 5.0.15 allows a     local user to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a HIDPCONNADD command,     because a name field may not end with a '\0' character. (CVE-2019-11884)

  - 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)

  - In arch/x86/lib/insn-eval.c in the Linux kernel before 5.1.9, there is a use-after-free for access to an     LDT entry because of a race condition between modify_ldt() and a #BR exception for an MPX bounds     violation. (CVE-2019-13233)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.2.1 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. This affects arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_32.c and     arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_64.c. (CVE-2019-13648)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.2.3, set_geometry in drivers/block/floppy.c does 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. (CVE-2019-14283)

  - There is heap-based buffer overflow in Linux kernel, all versions up to, excluding 5.3, in the marvell     wifi chip driver in Linux kernel, that allows local users to cause a denial of service(system crash) or     possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-14814)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel, where a Heap Overflow was found in mwifiex_set_wmm_params()     function of Marvell Wifi Driver. (CVE-2019-14815)

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/scsi/qedi/qedi_dbg.c in the Linux kernel before 5.1.12. In the     qedi_dbg_* family of functions, there is an out-of-bounds read. (CVE-2019-15090)

  - 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 5.1.17. 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 5.0.1. There is a memory leak in     register_queue_kobjects() in net/core/net-sysfs.c, which will cause denial of service. (CVE-2019-15916)

  - An issue was discovered in net/wireless/nl80211.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.17. It does not check     the length of variable elements in a beacon head, leading to a buffer overflow. (CVE-2019-16746)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.4.1 on powerpc allows Information Exposure because the Spectre-RSB mitigation is     not in place for all applicable CPUs, aka CID-39e72bf96f58. This is related to     arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.S and arch/powerpc/kernel/security.c. (CVE-2019-18660)

  - 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. This issue affects kernel versions before 4.8. (CVE-2019-3901)

  - An exploitable denial-of-service vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel prior to mainline 5.3. An     attacker could exploit this vulnerability by triggering AP to send IAPP location updates for stations     before the required authentication process has completed. This could lead to different denial-of-service     scenarios, either by causing CAM table attacks, or by leading to traffic flapping if faking already     existing clients in other nearby APs of the same wireless infrastructure. An attacker can forge     Authentication and Association Request packets to trigger this vulnerability. (CVE-2019-5108)

  - The Broadcom brcmfmac WiFi driver prior to commit a4176ec356c73a46c07c181c6d04039fafa34a9f is vulnerable     to a frame validation bypass. If the brcmfmac driver receives a firmware event frame from a remote source,     the is_wlc_event_frame function will cause this frame to be discarded and unprocessed. If the driver     receives the firmware event frame from the host, the appropriate handler is called. This frame validation     can be bypassed if the bus used is USB (for instance by a wifi dongle). This can allow firmware event     frames from a remote source to be processed. 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-2019-9503)

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 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's networking subsystem processed TCP Selective     Acknowledgment (SACK) segments. While processing SACK     segments, the Linux kernel's socket buffer (SKB) data     structure becomes fragmented. Each fragment is about     TCP maximum segment size (MSS) bytes. To efficiently     process SACK blocks, the Linux kernel merges multiple     fragmented SKBs into one, potentially overflowing the     variable holding the number of segments. A remote     attacker could use this flaw to crash the Linux kernel     by sending a crafted sequence of SACK segments on a TCP     connection with small value of TCP MSS, resulting in a     denial of service (DoS). (CVE-2019-11477)

  - Kernel: tcp: excessive resource consumption while     processing SACK blocks allows remote denial of service     (CVE-2019-11478)

  - Kernel: tcp: excessive resource consumption for TCP     connections with low MSS allows remote denial of     service (CVE-2019-11479)

  - In the tun subsystem in the Linux kernel before     4.13.14, dev_get_valid_name is not called before     register_netdevice. This allows local users to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and panic)     via an ioctl(TUNSETIFF) call with a dev name containing     a / character. This is similar to     CVE-2013-4343.(CVE-2018-7191)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel where the coredump     implementation does not use locking or other mechanisms     to prevent vma layout or vma flags changes while it     runs. This allows local users to obtain sensitive     information, cause a denial of service (DoS), or     possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a     race condition with mmget_not_zero or get_task_mm     calls.(CVE-2019-11599)

  - 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)

  - 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.(CVE-2019-3901)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, prior to version     5.0.7, in drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c,     where a NULL pointer dereference can occur when     megasas_create_frame_pool() fails in     megasas_alloc_cmds(). An attacker can crash the system     if they were able to load the megaraid_sas kernel     module and groom memory beforehand, leading to a denial     of service (DoS), related to a     use-after-free.(CVE-2019-11810)

  - A vulnerability was found in polkit. When     authentication is performed by a non-root user to     perform an administrative task, the authentication is     temporarily cached in such a way that a local attacker     could impersonate the authorized process, thus gaining     access to elevated privileges.(CVE-2019-6133)

(CVE-2019-11477)

  - Kernel: tcp: excessive resource consumption while     processing SACK blocks allows remote denial of service     (CVE-2019-11478)

  - Kernel: tcp: excessive resource consumption for TCP     connections with low MSS allows remote denial of     service (CVE-2019-11479)

  - The Linux kernel is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds read     in ext4/balloc.c:ext4_valid_block_bitmap() function. An     attacker could trick a legitimate user or a privileged     attacker could exploit this by mounting a crafted ext4     image to cause a crash.(CVE-2018-1093)

  - 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)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel where the coredump     implementation does not use locking or other mechanisms     to prevent vma layout or vma flags changes while it     runs. This allows local users to obtain sensitive     information, cause a denial of service (DoS), or     possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a     race condition with mmget_not_zero or get_task_mm     calls.(CVE-2019-11599)

  - 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.(CVE-2019-3901)

  - In the tun subsystem in the Linux kernel before     4.13.14, dev_get_valid_name is not called before     register_netdevice. This allows local users to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and panic)     via an ioctl(TUNSETIFF) call with a dev name containing     a / character. This is similar to     CVE-2013-4343.(CVE-2018-7191)

  - 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)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, prior to version     5.0.7, in drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c,     where a NULL pointer dereference can occur when     megasas_create_frame_pool() fails in     megasas_alloc_cmds(). An attacker can crash the system     if they were able to load the megaraid_sas kernel     module and groom memory beforehand, leading to a denial     of service (DoS), related to a     use-after-free.(CVE-2019-11810)

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 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):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'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.(CVE-2018-16880)A NULL pointer dereference security     flaw was found in the Linux kernel in kvm_pv_send_ipi()     in arch/x86/kvm/lapic.c. This allows local users with     certain privileges to cause a denial of service via a     crafted system call to the KVM     subsystem.(CVE-2018-19406)The function     hso_get_config_data in driverset/usb/hso.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.19.8 reads if_num from the USB device     (as a u8) and uses it to index a small array, resulting     in an object out-of-bounds (OOB) read that potentially     allows arbitrary read in the kernel address     space.(CVE-2018-19985)** RESERVED ** This candidate has     been reserved by an organization or individual that     will use it when announcing a new security problem.
    When the candidate has been publicized, the details for     this candidate will be provided.(CVE-2019-3459)**     RESERVED ** This candidate has been reserved by an     organization or individual that will use it when     announcing a new security problem. When the candidate     has been publicized, the details for this candidate     will be provided.(CVE-2019-3460)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     userspace. 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.
    This issue affects kernel versions before 4.8.

When the     candidate has been publicized, the details for this     candidate will be     provided.(CVE-2019-8956)cipso_v4_validate in     includeet/cipso_ipv4.h in the Linux kernel before     3.11.7, when CONFIG_NETLABEL is disabled, allows     attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop     and crash), as demonstrated by icmpsic, a different     vulnerability than CVE-2013-0310.(CVE-2013-7470)Note1:
    kernel-4.19.36-vhulk1907.1.0.h529 and earlier versions     in EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 3.0.2.0 return     incorrect time information when executing the uname -a     command.Note2: The kernel version number naming format     has been changed after 4.19.36-1.2.184.aarch64, the new     version format is 4.19.36-vhulk1907.1.0.hxxx.aarch64,     which may lead to false positives of this security     advisory.

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

  - A vulnerability was found in polkit. When     authentication is performed by a non-root user to     perform an administrative task, the authentication is     temporarily cached in such a way that a local attacker     could impersonate the authorized process, thus gaining     access to elevated privileges.(CVE-2019-6133)

  - 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.(CVE-2019-3901)

  - A race condition was found between between     mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() when core dumping tasks.
    A local attacker is able to exploit race condition     where locking of semaphore would allow an attacker to     leak kernel memory to userspace.(CVE-2019-3892)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel where the coredump     implementation does not use locking or other mechanisms     to prevent vma layout or vma flags changes while it     runs. This allows local users to obtain sensitive     information, cause a denial of service (DoS), or     possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a     race condition with mmget_not_zero or get_task_mm     calls.(CVE-2019-11599)

  - 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)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, prior to version     5.0.7, in drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c,     where a NULL pointer dereference can occur when     megasas_create_frame_pool() fails in     megasas_alloc_cmds(). An attacker can crash the system     if they were able to load the megaraid_sas kernel     module and groom memory beforehand, leading to a denial     of service (DoS), related to a     use-after-free.(CVE-2019-11810)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of RDS over TCP. A system that has the rds_tcp kernel     module loaded (either through autoload via local     process running listen(), or manual loading) could     possibly cause a use after free (UAF) in which an     attacker who is able to manipulate socket state while a     network namespace is being torn down. This can lead to     possible memory corruption and privilege     escalation.(CVE-2019-11815)

  - Modern Intel microprocessors implement hardware-level     micro-optimizations to improve the performance of     writing data back to CPU caches. The write operation is     split into STA (STore Address) and STD (STore Data)     sub-operations. These sub-operations allow the     processor to hand-off address generation logic into     these sub-operations for optimized writes. Both of     these sub-operations write to a shared distributed     processor structure called the 'processor store     buffer'. As a result, an unprivileged attacker could     use this flaw to read private data resident within the     CPU's processor store buffer.(CVE-2018-12126)

  - A flaw was found in the implementation of the 'fill     buffer', a mechanism used by modern CPUs when a     cache-miss is made on L1 CPU cache. If an attacker can     generate a load operation that would create a page     fault, the execution will continue speculatively with     incorrect data from the fill buffer while the data is     fetched from higher level caches. This response time     can be measured to infer data in the fill     buffer.(CVE-2018-12130)

  - Microprocessors use a aEUR~load portaEURtm subcomponent to     perform load operations from memory or IO. During a     load operation, the load port receives data from the     memory or IO subsystem and then provides the data to     the CPU registers and operations in the CPUaEURtms     pipelines. Stale load operations results are stored in     the 'load port' table until overwritten by newer     operations. Certain load-port operations triggered by     an attacker can be used to reveal data about previous     stale requests leaking data back to the attacker via a     timing side-channel.(CVE-2018-12127)

  - Uncacheable memory on some microprocessors utilizing     speculative execution may allow an authenticated user     to potentially enable information disclosure via a side     channel with local access.(CVE-2019-11091)

  - The atyfb_ioctl function in     drivers/video/fbdev/aty/atyfb_base.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.12.10 does not initialize a certain     data structure, which allows local users to obtain     sensitive information from kernel stack memory by     reading locations associated with padding     bytes.(CVE-2017-14156)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem     code. A use-after-free is possible in     ext4_ext_remove_space() function when mounting and     operating a crafted ext4 image.(CVE-2018-10876)

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

This updated advisory text adds a note about the need to install new binary packages.

CVE-2018-5995

ADLab of VenusTech discovered that the kernel logged the virtual addresses assigned to per-CPU data, which could make it easier to exploit other vulnerabilities.

CVE-2018-12126, CVE-2018-12127, CVE-2018-12130, CVE-2019-11091

Multiple researchers have discovered vulnerabilities in the way that Intel processor designs implement speculative forwarding of data filled into temporary microarchitectural structures (buffers). This flaw could allow an attacker controlling an unprivileged process to read sensitive information, including from the kernel and all other processes running on the system, or across guest/host boundaries to read host memory.

See https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/hw-vuln/m ds.html for more details.

To fully resolve these vulnerabilities it is also necessary to install updated CPU microcode. An updated intel-microcode package (only available in Debian non-free) was provided via DLA-1789-1. The updated CPU microcode may also be available as part of a system firmware ('BIOS') update.

CVE-2019-2024

A use-after-free bug was discovered in the em28xx video capture driver. Local users might be able to use this for denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

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-2019-3882

It was found that the vfio implementation did not limit the number of DMA mappings to device memory. A local user granted ownership of a vfio device could use this to cause a denial of service (out-of-memory condition).

CVE-2019-3901

Jann Horn of Google reported a race condition that would allow a local user to read performance events from a task after it executes a setuid program. This could leak sensitive information processed by setuid programs. Debian's kernel configuration does not allow unprivileged users to access peformance events by default, which fully mitigates this issue.

CVE-2019-6133

Jann Horn of Google found that Policykit's authentication check could be bypassed by a local user creating a process with the same start time and process ID as an older authenticated process. PolicyKit was already updated to fix this in DLA-1644-1. The kernel has additionally been updated to avoid a delay between assigning start time and process ID, which should make the attack impractical.

CVE-2019-9503

Hugues Anguelkov and others at Quarkslab discovered that the brcmfmac (Broadcom wifi FullMAC) driver did not correctly distinguish messages sent by the wifi firmware from other packets. An attacker using the same wifi network could use this for denial of service or to exploit other vulnerabilities in the driver.

CVE-2019-11190

Robert &#x15A;wi&#x119;cki reported that when a setuid program was executed it was still possible to read performance events while the kernel set up the program's address space. A local user could use this to defeat ASLR in a setuid program, making it easier to exploit other vulnerabilities in the program. Debian's kernel configuration does not allow unprivileged users to access peformance events by default, which fully mitigates this issue.

CVE-2019-11486

Jann Horn of Google reported numerous race conditions in the Siemens R3964 line discipline. A local user could use these to cause unspecified security impact. This module has therefore been disabled.

CVE-2019-11599

Jann Horn of Google reported a race condition in the core dump implementation which could lead to a use-after-free. A local user could use this to read sensitive information, to cause a denial of service (memory corruption), or for privilege escalation.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 3.16.68-1. This version also includes a fix for Debian bug #927781, and other fixes included in upstream stable updates.

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