Virtuozzo 7 : readykernel-patch (VZA-2018-072)

high Nessus Plugin ID 121097

Synopsis

The remote Virtuozzo host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the vzkernel package and the readykernel-patch installed, the Virtuozzo installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - An integer overflow flaw was found in create_elf_tables(). An unprivileged local user with access to SUID (or otherwise privileged) binary could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system.

 - The Linux kernel imposes a size limit on the memory needed to store the arguments and environment variables of a process, 1/4 of the maximum stack size (RLIMIT_STACK). However, the pointers to these data were not taken into account, which allowed attackers to bypass the limit and even exhaust the stack of the process.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Virtuozzo security advisory.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the readykernel patch.
