A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of string matching within a packet. A privileged user (with root or CAP_NET_ADMIN) when inserting iptables rules could insert a rule which can panic the system. Kernel before kernel 5.5-rc1 is affected.

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 :

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of string matching within a packet. A privileged user     (with root or CAP_NET_ADMIN) when inserting iptables     rules could insert a rule which can panic the     system.(CVE-2021-20177)

  - rtw_wx_set_scan in     drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/os_dep/ioctl_linux.c in the     Linux kernel through 5.11.6 allows writing beyond the     end of the ->ssid[] array. NOTE: from the perspective     of kernel.org releases, CVE IDs are not normally used     for drivers/staging/* (unfinished work) however, system     integrators may have situations in which a     drivers/staging issue is relevant to their own customer     base.(CVE-2021-28660)

  - There is a flaw reported in     drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_sgdma.c in     nouveau_sgdma_create_ttm in Nouveau DRM subsystem. The     issue results from the lack of validating the existence     of an object prior to performing operations on the     object. An attacker with a local account with a root     privilege, can leverage this vulnerability to escalate     privileges and execute code in the context of the     kernel.(CVE-2021-20292)

  - ntfs_read_locked_inode in the ntfs.ko filesystem driver     in the Linux kernel 4.15.0 allows attackers to trigger     a use-after-free read and possibly cause a denial of     service (kernel oops or panic) via a crafted ntfs     filesystem.(CVE-2018-12929)

  - In the Linux kernel 4.15.0, a NULL pointer dereference     was discovered in hfs_ext_read_extent in hfs.ko. This     can occur during a mount of a crafted hfs     filesystem.(CVE-2018-12928)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     5.11.3. A kernel pointer leak can be used to determine     the address of the iscsi_transport structure. When an     iSCSI transport is registered with the iSCSI subsystem,     the transport's handle is available to unprivileged     users via the sysfs file system, at     /sys/class/iscsi_transport/$TRANSPORT_NAME/handle. When     read, the show_transport_handle function (in     drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c) is called, which     leaks the handle. This handle is actually the pointer     to an iscsi_transport struct in the kernel module's     global variables.(CVE-2021-27363)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     5.11.3. drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c is     adversely affected by the ability of an unprivileged     user to craft Netlink messages.(CVE-2021-27364)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     5.11.3. Certain iSCSI data structures do not have     appropriate length constraints or checks, and can     exceed the PAGE_SIZE value. An unprivileged user can     send a Netlink message that is associated with iSCSI,     and has a length up to the maximum length of a Netlink     message.(CVE-2021-27365)

  - nbd_add_socket in drivers/block/nbd.c in the Linux     kernel through 5.10.12 has an ndb_queue_rq     use-after-free that could be triggered by local     attackers (with access to the nbd device) via an I/O     request at a certain point during device setup, aka     CID-b98e762e3d71.(CVE-2021-3348)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     5.10.11. PI futexes have a kernel stack use-after-free     during fault handling, allowing local users to execute     code in the kernel, aka     CID-34b1a1ce1458.(CVE-2021-3347)

  - fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c in the Linux kernel through 5.10.8,     when there is an NFS export of a subdirectory of a     filesystem, allows remote attackers to traverse to     other parts of the filesystem via READDIRPLUS. NOTE:
    some parties argue that such a subdirectory export is     not intended to prevent this attack see also the     exports(5) no_subtree_check default     behavior.(CVE-2021-3178)

  - In tun_get_user of tun.c, there is possible memory     corruption due to a use after free. This could lead to     local escalation of privilege with System execution     privileges required. User interaction is not required     for exploitation.(CVE-2021-0342)

  - Overlayfs did not properly perform permission checking     when copying up files in an overlayfs and could be     exploited from within a user namespace, if, for     example, unprivileged user namespaces were allowed. It     was possible to have a file not readable by an     unprivileged user to be copied to a mountpoint     controlled by the user, like a removable device. This     was introduced in kernel version 4.19 by commit d1d04ef     ('ovl: stack file ops'). This was fixed in kernel     version 5.8 by commits 56230d9 ('ovl: verify     permissions in ovl_path_open()'), 48bd024 ('ovl: switch     to mounter creds in readdir') and 05acefb ('ovl: check     permission to open real file'). Additionally, commits     130fdbc ('ovl: pass correct flags for opening real     directory') and 292f902 ('ovl: call secutiry hook in     ovl_real_ioctl()') in kernel 5.8 might also be desired     or necessary. These additional commits introduced a     regression in overlay mounts within user namespaces     which prevented access to files with ownership outside     of the user namespace. This regression was mitigated by     subsequent commit b6650da ('ovl: do not fail because of     O_NOATIMEi') in kernel 5.11.(CVE-2020-16120)

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)

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.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 4.19.171-2~deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux-4.19 packages.
