A use-after-free flaw was found in kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c in Linux kernel (before 5.10-rc1). There was a race problem in trace_open and resize of cpu buffer running parallely on different cpus, may cause a denial of service problem (DOS). This flaw could even allow a local attacker with special user privilege to a kernel information leak threat.

An update of the linux package has been released.

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.4.95-42.163. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.4-2022-020 advisory.

    2024-05-23: CVE-2023-1390 was added to this advisory.

    A use-after-free flaw was found in kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c in Linux kernel. There was a race problem in     trace_open and resize of cpu buffer running parallely on different cpus, may cause a denial of service     problem (DOS). This flaw could even allow a local attacker with special user  privilege to a kernel     information leak threat. (CVE-2020-27825)

    A flaw leak of the file handle for parent directory in the Linux kernel's NFS3 functionality was found in     the way user calls READDIRPLUS. A local user could use this flaw to traverse to other parts of the file-     system than mounted sub-folder. (CVE-2021-3178)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A use-after-free memory flaw in the Fast Userspace Mutexes     functionality allowing a local user to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system     availability. (CVE-2021-3347)

    A use after free flaw in the Linux kernel network block device (NBD) subsystem was found in the way user     calls an ioctl NBD_SET_SOCK at a certain point during device setup. (CVE-2021-3348)

    A remote denial of service vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's TIPC kernel module. The while     loop in tipc_link_xmit() hits an unknown state while attempting to parse SKBs, which are not in the queue.
    Sending two small UDP packets to a system with a UDP bearer results in the CPU utilization for the system     to instantly spike to 100%, causing a denial of service condition. (CVE-2023-1390)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product 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 SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:0197-1 advisory.

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux kernel, where a use-after-frees in nouveau's postclose() handler could     happen if removing device (that is not common to remove video card physically without power-off, but same     happens if unbind the driver). (CVE-2020-27820)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c in Linux kernel (before 5.10-rc1). There was     a race problem in trace_open and resize of cpu buffer running parallely on different cpus, may cause a     denial of service problem (DOS). This flaw could even allow a local attacker with special user privilege     to a kernel information leak threat. (CVE-2020-27825)

  - Rogue backends can cause DoS of guests via high frequency events T[his CNA information record relates to     multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.] Xen offers the     ability to run PV backends in regular unprivileged guests, typically referred to as driver domains.
    Running PV backends in driver domains has one primary security advantage: if a driver domain gets     compromised, it doesn't have the privileges to take over the system. However, a malicious driver domain     could try to attack other guests via sending events at a high frequency leading to a Denial of Service in     the guest due to trying to service interrupts for elongated amounts of time. There are three affected     backends: * blkfront patch 1, CVE-2021-28711 * netfront patch 2, CVE-2021-28712 * hvc_xen (console) patch     3, CVE-2021-28713 (CVE-2021-28711, CVE-2021-28712, CVE-2021-28713)

  - Guest can force Linux netback driver to hog large amounts of kernel memory T[his CNA information record     relates to multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.]     Incoming data packets for a guest in the Linux kernel's netback driver are buffered until the guest is     ready to process them. There are some measures taken for avoiding to pile up too much data, but those can     be bypassed by the guest: There is a timeout how long the client side of an interface can stop consuming     new packets before it is assumed to have stalled, but this timeout is rather long (60 seconds by default).
    Using a UDP connection on a fast interface can easily accumulate gigabytes of data in that time.
    (CVE-2021-28715) The timeout could even never trigger if the guest manages to have only one free slot in     its RX queue ring page and the next package would require more than one free slot, which may be the case     when using GSO, XDP, or software hashing. (CVE-2021-28714) (CVE-2021-28714, CVE-2021-28715)

  - Improper input validation in the Intel(R) Ethernet ixgbe driver for Linux before version 3.17.3 may allow     an authenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via local access. (CVE-2021-33098)

  - A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's ebpf verifier between bpf_map_update_elem and     bpf_map_freeze due to a missing lock in kernel/bpf/syscall.c. In this flaw, a local user with a special     privilege (cap_sys_admin or cap_bpf) can modify the frozen mapped address space. This flaw affects kernel     versions prior to 5.16 rc2. (CVE-2021-4001)

  - A memory leak flaw in the Linux kernel's hugetlbfs memory usage was found in the way the user maps some     regions of memory twice using shmget() which are aligned to PUD alignment with the fault of some of the     memory pages. A local user could use this flaw to get unauthorized access to some data. (CVE-2021-4002)

  - A read-after-free memory flaw was found in the Linux kernel's garbage collection for Unix domain socket     file handlers in the way users call close() and fget() simultaneously and can potentially trigger a race     condition. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system.
    This flaw affects Linux kernel versions prior to 5.16-rc4. (CVE-2021-4083)

  - A memory leak vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's eBPF for the Simulated networking device     driver in the way user uses BPF for the device such that function nsim_map_alloc_elem being called. A     local user could use this flaw to get unauthorized access to some data. (CVE-2021-4135)

  - A vulnerability was found in btrfs_alloc_tree_b in fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c in the Linux kernel due to an     improper lock operation in btrfs. In this flaw, a user with a local privilege may cause a denial of     service (DOS) due to a deadlock problem. (CVE-2021-4149)

  - An unprivileged write to the file handler flaw in the Linux kernel's control groups and namespaces     subsystem was found in the way users have access to some less privileged process that are controlled by     cgroups and have higher privileged parent process. It is actually both for cgroup2 and cgroup1 versions of     control groups. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the     system. (CVE-2021-4197)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in nci_request in net/nfc/nci/core.c in NFC Controller Interface (NCI) in     the Linux kernel. This flaw could allow a local attacker with user privileges to cause a data race problem     while the device is getting removed, leading to a privilege escalation problem. (CVE-2021-4202)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.15.2, hw_atl_utils_fw_rpc_wait in     drivers/net/ethernet/aquantia/atlantic/hw_atl/hw_atl_utils.c allows an attacker (who can introduce a     crafted device) to trigger an out-of-bounds write via a crafted length value. (CVE-2021-43975)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.15.2, mwifiex_usb_recv in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/usb.c allows     an attacker (who can connect a crafted USB device) to cause a denial of service (skb_over_panic).
    (CVE-2021-43976)

  - A use-after-free exists in drivers/tee/tee_shm.c in the TEE subsystem in the Linux kernel through 5.15.11.
    This occurs because of a race condition in tee_shm_get_from_id during an attempt to free a shared memory     object. (CVE-2021-44733)

  - In the IPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel before 5.13.3, net/ipv6/output_core.c has an information     leak because of certain use of a hash table which, although big, doesn't properly consider that IPv6-based     attackers can typically choose among many IPv6 source addresses. (CVE-2021-45485)

  - In the IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel before 5.12.4, net/ipv4/route.c has an information leak     because the hash table is very small. (CVE-2021-45486)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the legacy_parse_param function in the Filesystem     Context functionality of the Linux kernel verified the supplied parameters length. An unprivileged (in     case of unprivileged user namespaces enabled, otherwise needs namespaced CAP_SYS_ADMIN privilege) local     user able to open a filesystem that does not support the Filesystem Context API (and thus fallbacks to     legacy handling) could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-0185)

  - A flaw was found in the sctp_make_strreset_req function in net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c in the SCTP network     protocol in the Linux kernel with a local user privilege access. In this flaw, an attempt to use more     buffer than is allocated triggers a BUG_ON issue, leading to a denial of service (DOS). (CVE-2022-0322)

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

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

CVE-2019-19318, CVE-2019-19813, CVE-2019-19816

'Team bobfuzzer' reported bugs in Btrfs that could lead to a use-after-free or heap buffer overflow, and could be triggered by crafted filesystem images. A user permitted to mount and access arbitrary filesystems could use these to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-27815

A flaw was reported in the JFS filesystem code allowing a local attacker with the ability to set extended attributes to cause a denial of service.

CVE-2020-27825

Adam 'pi3' Zabrocki reported a use-after-free flaw in the ftrace ring buffer resizing logic due to a race condition, which could result in denial of service or information leak.

CVE-2020-28374

David Disseldorp discovered that the LIO SCSI target implementation performed insufficient checking in certain XCOPY requests. An attacker with access to a LUN and knowledge of Unit Serial Number assignments can take advantage of this flaw to read and write to any LIO backstore, regardless of the SCSI transport settings.

CVE-2020-29568 (XSA-349)

Michael Kurth and Pawel Wieczorkiewicz reported that frontends can trigger OOM in backends by updating a watched path.

CVE-2020-29569 (XSA-350)

Olivier Benjamin and Pawel Wieczorkiewicz reported a use-after-free flaw which can be triggered by a block frontend in Linux blkback. A misbehaving guest can trigger a dom0 crash by continuously connecting / disconnecting a block frontend.

CVE-2020-29660

Jann Horn reported a locking inconsistency issue in the tty subsystem which may allow a local attacker to mount a read-after-free attack against TIOCGSID.

CVE-2020-29661

Jann Horn reported a locking issue in the tty subsystem which can result in a use-after-free. A local attacker can take advantage of this flaw for memory corruption or privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-36158

A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the mwifiex WiFi driver which could result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code via a long SSID value.

CVE-2021-3178

&#x5434;&#x5F02; reported an information leak in the NFSv3 server.
When only a subdirectory of a filesystem volume is exported, an NFS client listing the exported directory would obtain a file handle to the parent directory, allowing it to access files that were not meant to be exported.

Even after this update, it is still possible for NFSv3 clients to guess valid file handles and access files outside an exported subdirectory, unless the 'subtree_check' export option is enabled. It is recommended that you do not use that option but only export whole filesystem volumes.

CVE-2021-3347

It was discovered that PI futexes have a kernel stack use-after-free during fault handling. An unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the kernel (resulting in denial of service) or for privilege escalation.

CVE-2021-26930 (XSA-365)

Olivier Benjamin, Norbert Manthey, Martin Mazein, and Jan H.
Sch&ouml;nherr discovered that the Xen block backend driver (xen-blkback) did not handle grant mapping errors correctly. A malicious guest could exploit this bug to cause a denial of service (crash), or possibly an information leak or privilege escalation, within the domain running the backend, which is typically dom0.

CVE-2021-26931 (XSA-362), CVE-2021-26932 (XSA-361), CVE-2021-28038 (XSA-367)

Jan Beulich discovered that the Xen support code and various Xen backend drivers did not handle grant mapping errors correctly. A malicious guest could exploit these bugs to cause a denial of service (crash) within the domain running the backend, which is typically dom0.

CVE-2021-27363

Adam Nichols reported that the iSCSI initiator subsystem did not properly restrict access to transport handle attributes in sysfs. On a system acting as an iSCSI initiator, this is an information leak to local users and makes it easier to exploit CVE-2021-27364.

CVE-2021-27364

Adam Nichols reported that the iSCSI initiator subsystem did not properly restrict access to its netlink management interface. On a system acting as an iSCSI initiator, a local user could use these to cause a denial of service (disconnection of storage) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2021-27365

Adam Nichols reported that the iSCSI initiator subsystem did not correctly limit the lengths of parameters or 'passthrough PDUs' sent through its netlink management interface. On a system acting as an iSCSI initiator, a local user could use these to leak the contents of kernel memory, to cause a denial of service (kernel memory corruption or crash), and probably for privilege escalation.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 4.9.258-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.

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

  - CVE-2020-27815     A flaw was reported in the JFS filesystem code allowing     a local attacker with the ability to set extended     attributes to cause a denial of service.

  - CVE-2020-27825     Adam 'pi3' Zabrocki reported a use-after-free flaw in     the ftrace ring buffer resizing logic due to a race     condition, which could result in denial of service or     information leak.

  - CVE-2020-27830     Shisong Qin reported a NULL pointer dereference flaw in     the Speakup screen reader core driver.

  - CVE-2020-28374     David Disseldorp discovered that the LIO SCSI target     implementation performed insufficient checking in     certain XCOPY requests. An attacker with access to a LUN     and knowledge of Unit Serial Number assignments can take     advantage of this flaw to read and write to any LIO     backstore, regardless of the SCSI transport settings.

  - CVE-2020-29568 (XSA-349)     Michael Kurth and Pawel Wieczorkiewicz reported that     frontends can trigger OOM in backends by updating a     watched path.

  - CVE-2020-29569 (XSA-350)     Olivier Benjamin and Pawel Wieczorkiewicz reported a     use-after-free flaw which can be triggered by a block     frontend in Linux blkback. A misbehaving guest can     trigger a dom0 crash by continuously connecting /     disconnecting a block frontend.

  - CVE-2020-29660     Jann Horn reported a locking inconsistency issue in the     tty subsystem which may allow a local attacker to mount     a read-after-free attack against TIOCGSID.

  - CVE-2020-29661     Jann Horn reported a locking issue in the tty subsystem     which can result in a use-after-free. A local attacker     can take advantage of this flaw for memory corruption or     privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2020-36158     A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the mwifiex     WiFi driver which could result in denial of service or     the execution of arbitrary code via a long SSID value.

  - CVE-2021-3347     It was discovered that PI futexes have a kernel stack     use-after-free during fault handling. An unprivileged     user could use this flaw to crash the kernel (resulting     in denial of service) or for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2021-20177     A flaw was discovered in the Linux implementation of     string matching within a packet. A privileged user (with     root or CAP_NET_ADMIN) can take advantage of this flaw     to cause a kernel panic when inserting iptables rules.
