A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A corrupted timer tree caused the task wakeup to be missing in the timerqueue_add function in lib/timerqueue.c. This flaw allows a local attacker with special user privileges to cause a denial of service, slowing and eventually stopping the system while running OSP.

An update of the linux package has been released.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 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: out of bounds read in drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/technisat-usb2.c (CVE-2019-15505)

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

  - block/scsi_ioctl.c in the Linux kernel through 3.8 does not properly consider the SCSI device class during     authorization of SCSI commands, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via an     SG_IO ioctl call that leverages overlapping opcodes. (CVE-2012-4542)

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

The version of microvm-kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.252-207.481. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2MICROVM-KERNEL-4.14-2023-001 advisory.

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A corrupted timer tree caused the task wakeup to be missing in the     timerqueue_add function in lib/timerqueue.c. This flaw allows a local attacker with special user     privileges to cause a denial of service, slowing and eventually stopping the system while running OSP. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is system availability. (CVE-2021-20317)

    A race condition accessing file object in the Linux kernel OverlayFS subsystem was found in the way users     do rename in specific way with OverlayFS. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system.
    (CVE-2021-20321)

    A flaw use-after-free in the Linux kernel USB High Speed Mobile Devices functionality was found in the way     user detaches USB device. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their     privileges on the system. (CVE-2021-37159)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A memory leak in the ccp-ops crypto driver can allow attackers to     cause a denial of service. This vulnerability is similar with the older CVE-2019-18808. The highest threat     from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2021-3744)

    A memory leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ccp_run_aes_gcm_cmd() function that allows an attacker     to cause a denial of service. The vulnerability is similar to the older CVE-2019-18808. The highest threat     from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2021-3764)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The cBPF JIT compiler may produce machine code with incorrect     branches. This flaw allows an unprivileged user to craft anomalous machine code, where the control flow is     hijacked to execute arbitrary kernel code. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-38300)

    An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory write flaw was found in prealloc_elems_and_freelist in kernel/bpf/stackmap.c     in the bpf in the Linux kernel. In this flaw, the multiplication to calculate the size could lead to an     integer overflow which could allow a local attacker, with a special user privilege, to gain access to out-     of-bounds memory leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information. (CVE-2021-41864)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.7.3, related to mm/gup.c and mm/huge_memory.c. The     get_user_pages (aka gup) implementation, when used for a copy-on-write page, does not properly consider     the semantics of read operations and therefore can grant unintended write access, aka CID-17839856fd58.
    (CVE-2020-29374)

  - An issue was discovered in the FUSE filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel before 5.10.6, aka     CID-5d069dbe8aaf. fuse_do_getattr() calls make_bad_inode() in inappropriate situations, causing a system     crash. NOTE: the original fix for this vulnerability was incomplete, and its incompleteness is tracked as     CVE-2021-28950. (CVE-2020-36322)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A corrupted timer tree caused the task wakeup to be missing in the     timerqueue_add function in lib/timerqueue.c. This flaw allows a local attacker with special user     privileges to cause a denial of service, slowing and eventually stopping the system while running OSP.
    (CVE-2021-20317)

  - A race condition accessing file object in the Linux kernel OverlayFS subsystem was found in the way users     do rename in specific way with OverlayFS. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system.

  - A flaw in the processing of received ICMP errors (ICMP fragment needed and ICMP redirect) in the Linux     kernel functionality was found to allow the ability to quickly scan open UDP ports. This flaw allows an     off-path remote user to effectively bypass the source port UDP randomization. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to confidentiality and possibly integrity, because software that relies on UDP source     port randomization are indirectly affected as well. (CVE-2021-20322)

  - A double free bug in packet_set_ring() in net/packet/af_packet.c can be exploited by a local user through     crafted syscalls to escalate privileges or deny service. We recommend upgrading kernel past the effected     versions or rebuilding past ec6af094ea28f0f2dda1a6a33b14cd57e36a9755 (CVE-2021-22600)

  - 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)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/fuse/fuse_i.h in the Linux kernel before 5.11.8. A stall on CPU can occur     because a retry loop continually finds the same bad inode, aka CID-775c5033a0d1. (CVE-2021-28950)

  - arch/mips/net/bpf_jit.c in the Linux kernel before 5.4.10 can generate undesirable machine code when     transforming unprivileged cBPF programs, allowing execution of arbitrary code within the kernel context.
    This occurs because conditional branches can exceed the 128 KB limit of the MIPS architecture.
    (CVE-2021-38300)

  - 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.

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.252-195.481. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2021-1719 advisory.

    2024-12-05: CVE-2021-47387 was added to this advisory.

    2024-12-05: CVE-2021-47373 was added to this advisory.

    2024-12-05: CVE-2021-47404 was added to this advisory.

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A corrupted timer tree caused the task wakeup to be missing in the     timerqueue_add function in lib/timerqueue.c. This flaw allows a local attacker with special user     privileges to cause a denial of service, slowing and eventually stopping the system while running OSP. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is system availability. (CVE-2021-20317)

    A race condition accessing file object in the Linux kernel OverlayFS subsystem was found in the way users     do rename in specific way with OverlayFS. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system.
    (CVE-2021-20321)

    A flaw use-after-free in the Linux kernel USB High Speed Mobile Devices functionality was found in the way     user detaches USB device. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their     privileges on the system. (CVE-2021-37159)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A memory leak in the ccp-ops crypto driver can allow attackers to     cause a denial of service. This vulnerability is similar with the older CVE-2019-18808. The highest threat     from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2021-3744)

    A memory leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ccp_run_aes_gcm_cmd() function that allows an attacker     to cause a denial of service. The vulnerability is similar to the older CVE-2019-18808. The highest threat     from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2021-3764)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The cBPF JIT compiler may produce machine code with incorrect     branches. This flaw allows an unprivileged user to craft anomalous machine code, where the control flow is     hijacked to execute arbitrary kernel code. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-38300)

    An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory write flaw was found in prealloc_elems_and_freelist in kernel/bpf/stackmap.c     in the bpf in the Linux kernel. In this flaw, the multiplication to calculate the size could lead to an     integer overflow which could allow a local attacker, with a special user privilege, to gain access to out-     of-bounds memory leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information. (CVE-2021-41864)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    irqchip/gic-v3-its: Fix potential VPE leak on error (CVE-2021-47373)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    cpufreq: schedutil: Use kobject release() method to free sugov_tunables (CVE-2021-47387)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    HID: betop: fix slab-out-of-bounds Write in betop_probe (CVE-2021-47404)
