The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has kernel-rt packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A buffer overflow vulnerability due to a lack of input     filtering of incoming fragmented datagrams was found in     the IP-over-1394 driver [firewire-net] in a fragment     handling code in the Linux kernel. The vulnerability     exists since firewire supported IPv4, i.e. since version     2.6.31 (year 2009) till version v4.9-rc4. A maliciously     formed fragment with a respectively large datagram     offset would cause a memcpy() past the datagram buffer,     which would cause a system panic or possible arbitrary     code execution. The flaw requires [firewire-net] module     to be loaded and is remotely exploitable from connected     firewire devices, but not over a local network.
    (CVE-2016-8633)

  - The Linux Kernel imposes a size restriction on the     arguments and environmental strings passed through     RLIMIT_STACK/RLIMIT_INFINITY, but does not take the     argument and environment pointers into account, which     allows attackers to bypass this limitation.
    (CVE-2017-1000365)

  - A bug in the 32-bit compatibility layer of the ioctl     handling code of the v4l2 video driver in the Linux     kernel has been found. A memory protection mechanism     ensuring that user-provided buffers always point to a     userspace memory were disabled, allowing destination     address to be in a kernel space. This flaw could be     exploited by an attacker to overwrite a kernel memory     from an unprivileged userspace process, leading to     privilege escalation. (CVE-2017-13166)

  - The timer_create syscall implementation in     kernel/time/posix-timers.c in the Linux kernel doesn't     properly validate the sigevent->sigev_notify field,     which leads to out-of-bounds access in the show_timer     function. (CVE-2017-18344)

  - An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern     microprocessor designs have implemented speculative     execution of instructions (a commonly used performance     optimization). There are three primary variants of the     issue which differ in the way the speculative execution     can be exploited. Variant CVE-2017-5715 triggers the     speculative execution by utilizing branch target     injection. It relies on the presence of a precisely-     defined instruction sequence in the privileged code as     well as the fact that memory accesses may cause     allocation into the microprocessor's data cache even for     speculatively executed instructions that never actually     commit (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker     could use this flaw to cross the syscall and guest/host     boundaries and read privileged memory by conducting     targeted cache side-channel attacks. (CVE-2017-5715)

  - An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern     microprocessor designs have implemented speculative     execution of instructions (a commonly used performance     optimization). There are three primary variants of the     issue which differ in the way the speculative execution     can be exploited. Variant CVE-2017-5753 triggers the     speculative execution by performing a bounds-check     bypass. It relies on the presence of a precisely-defined     instruction sequence in the privileged code as well as     the fact that memory accesses may cause allocation into     the microprocessor's data cache even for speculatively     executed instructions that never actually commit     (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker could     use this flaw to cross the syscall boundary and read     privileged memory by conducting targeted cache side-     channel attacks. (CVE-2017-5753)

  - An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern     microprocessor designs have implemented speculative     execution of instructions (a commonly used performance     optimization). There are three primary variants of the     issue which differ in the way the speculative execution     can be exploited. Variant CVE-2017-5754 relies on the     fact that, on impacted microprocessors, during     speculative execution of instruction permission faults,     exception generation triggered by a faulting access is     suppressed until the retirement of the whole instruction     block. In a combination with the fact that memory     accesses may populate the cache even when the block is     being dropped and never committed (executed), an     unprivileged local attacker could use this flaw to read     privileged (kernel space) memory by conducting targeted     cache side-channel attacks. Note: CVE-2017-5754 affects     Intel x86-64 microprocessors. AMD x86-64 microprocessors     are not affected by this issue. (CVE-2017-5754)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in DCCP socket     code affecting the Linux kernel since 2.6.16. This     vulnerability could allow an attacker to their escalate     privileges. (CVE-2017-8824)

  - It was found that the raw midi kernel driver does not     protect against concurrent access which leads to a     double realloc (double free) in     snd_rawmidi_input_params() and     snd_rawmidi_output_status() which are part of     snd_rawmidi_ioctl() handler in rawmidi.c file. A     malicious local attacker could possibly use this for     privilege escalation. (CVE-2018-10902)

  - A vulnerability was found in the     fs/inode.c:inode_init_owner() function logic of the     LInux kernel that allows local users to create files     with an unintended group ownership and with group     execution and SGID permission bits set, in a scenario     where a directory is SGID and belongs to a certain group     and is writable by a user who is not a member of this     group. This can lead to excessive permissions granted in     case when they should not. (CVE-2018-13405)

  - An integer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's     create_elf_tables() function. An unprivileged local user     with access to SUID (or otherwise privileged) binary     could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the     system. (CVE-2018-14634)

  - An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern     microprocessor designs have implemented speculative     execution of Load & Store instructions (a commonly used     performance optimization). It relies on the presence of     a precisely-defined instruction sequence in the     privileged code as well as the fact that memory read     from address to which a recent memory write has occurred     may see an older value and subsequently cause an update     into the microprocessor's data cache even for     speculatively executed instructions that never actually     commit (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker     could use this flaw to read privileged memory by     conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks.
    (CVE-2018-3639)

  - An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern     microprocessor designs have implemented speculative     execution of instructions past bounds check. The flaw     relies on the presence of a precisely-defined     instruction sequence in the privileged code and the fact     that memory writes occur to an address which depends on     the untrusted value. Such writes cause an update into     the microprocessor's data cache even for speculatively     executed instructions that never actually commit     (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker could     use this flaw to influence speculative execution and/or     read privileged memory by conducting targeted cache     side-channel attacks. (CVE-2018-3693)

  - A flaw named SegmentSmack was found in the way the Linux     kernel handled specially crafted TCP packets. A remote     attacker could use this flaw to trigger time and     calculation expensive calls to tcp_collapse_ofo_queue()     and tcp_prune_ofo_queue() functions by sending specially     modified packets within ongoing TCP sessions which could     lead to a CPU saturation and hence a denial of service     on the system. Maintaining the denial of service     condition requires continuous two-way TCP sessions to a     reachable open port, thus the attacks cannot be     performed using spoofed IP addresses. (CVE-2018-5390)

  - A flaw named FragmentSmack was found in the way the     Linux kernel handled reassembly of fragmented IPv4 and     IPv6 packets. A remote attacker could use this flaw to     trigger time and calculation expensive fragment     reassembly algorithm by sending specially crafted     packets which could lead to a CPU saturation and hence a     denial of service on the system. (CVE-2018-5391)

  - A an integer overflow vulnerability was discovered in     the Linux kernel, from version 3.4 through 4.15, in the     drivers/gpu/drm/udl/udl_fb.c:udl_fb_mmap() function. An     attacker with access to the udldrmfb driver could     exploit this to obtain full read and write permissions     on kernel physical pages, resulting in a code execution     in kernel space. (CVE-2018-8781)

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

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP3 kernel was updated to 4.4.140 to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2018-13053: The alarm_timer_nsleep function had an     integer overflow via a large relative timeout because     ktime_add_safe was not used (bnc#1099924)

  - CVE-2018-9385: Prevent overread of the 'driver_override'     buffer (bsc#1100491)

  - CVE-2018-13405: The inode_init_owner function allowed     local users to create files with an unintended group     ownership allowing attackers to escalate privileges by     making a plain file executable and SGID (bnc#1100416)

  - CVE-2018-13406: An integer overflow in the     uvesafb_setcmap function could have result in local     attackers being able to crash the kernel or potentially     elevate privileges because kmalloc_array is not used     (bnc#1100418)

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE 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 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Missing check in fs/inode.c:inode_init_owner() does not     clear SGID bit on non-directories for     non-members.(CVE-2018-13405)

  - fuse-backed file mmap-ed onto process cmdline arguments     causes denial of service.(CVE-2018-1120)

  - The timer_create syscall implementation in     kernel/time/posix-timers.c in the Linux kernel before     4.14.8 doesn't properly validate the     sigevent-sigev_notify field, which leads to     out-of-bounds access in the show_timer function (called     when /proc/PID/timers is read). This allows userspace     applications to read arbitrary kernel memory (on a     kernel built with CONFIG_POSIX_TIMERS and     CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE).(CVE-2017-18344)

Security Fix(es) :

  - kernel: Missing check in fs/inode.c:inode_init_owner()     does not clear SGID bit on non-directories for     non-members (CVE-2018-13405)

The remote Oracle Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2019-0717 advisory.

  - The inode_init_owner function in fs/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16 allows local users to create     files with an unintended group ownership, in a scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group and     is writable by a user who is not a member of that group. Here, the non-member can trigger creation of a     plain file whose group ownership is that group. The intended behavior was that the non-member can trigger     creation of a directory (but not a plain file) whose group ownership is that group. The non-member can     escalate privileges by making the plain file executable and SGID. (CVE-2018-13405)

  - kernel: hw: Spectre SWAPGS gadget vulnerability (CVE-2019-1125)

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 MAIN 4.06, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A vulnerability was found in the     fs/inode.c:inode_init_owner() function logic of the     LInux kernel that allows local users to create files     with an unintended group ownership and with group     execution and SGID permission bits set, in a scenario     where a directory is SGID and belongs to a certain group     and is writable by a user who is not a member of this     group. This can lead to excessive permissions granted in     case when they should not. (CVE-2018-13405)

  - It was found that the raw midi kernel driver does not     protect against concurrent access which leads to a     double realloc (double free) in     snd_rawmidi_input_params() and     snd_rawmidi_output_status() which are part of     snd_rawmidi_ioctl() handler in rawmidi.c file. A     malicious local attacker could possibly use this for     privilege escalation. (CVE-2018-10902)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - Microprocessors use a load port 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 CPUs 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)

    (CVE-2017-5753)

  - The inode_init_owner function in fs/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16 allows local users to create     files with an unintended group ownership, in a scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group and     is writable by a user who is not a member of that group. Here, the non-member can trigger creation of a     plain file whose group ownership is that group. The intended behavior was that the non-member can trigger     creation of a directory (but not a plain file) whose group ownership is that group. The non-member can     escalate privileges by making the plain file executable and SGID. (CVE-2018-13405)

  - A use-after-free issue was found in the way the Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor processed posted interrupts     when nested(=1) virtualization is enabled. In nested_get_vmcs12_pages(), in case of an error while     processing posted interrupt address, it unmaps the 'pi_desc_page' without resetting 'pi_desc' descriptor     address, which is later used in pi_test_and_clear_on(). A guest user/process could use this flaw to crash     the host kernel resulting in DoS or potentially gain privileged access to a system. Kernel versions before     4.14.91 and before 4.19.13 are vulnerable. (CVE-2018-16882)

  - In l2tp_session_delete and related functions of l2tp_core.c, there is possible memory corruption due to a     use after free. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed.

  - An issue was discovered in xfs_agf_verify in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_alloc.c in the Linux kernel through 5.6.10.
    Attackers may trigger a sync of excessive duration via an XFS v5 image with crafted metadata, aka     CID-d0c7feaf8767. (CVE-2020-12655)

  - An out-of-bounds memory write flaw was found in how the Linux kernel's Voice Over IP H.323 connection     tracking functionality handled connections on ipv6 port 1720. This flaw allows an unauthenticated remote     user to crash the system, causing a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-14305)

  - u'Specifically timed and handcrafted traffic can cause internal errors in a WLAN device that lead to     improper layer 2 Wi-Fi encryption with a consequent possibility of information disclosure over the air for     a discrete set of traffic' in Snapdragon Auto, Snapdragon Compute, Snapdragon Connectivity, Snapdragon     Consumer IOT, Snapdragon Industrial IOT, Snapdragon Mobile, Snapdragon Voice & Music, Snapdragon     Wearables, Snapdragon Wired Infrastructure and Networking in APQ8053, IPQ4019, IPQ8064, MSM8909W,     MSM8996AU, QCA9531, QCN5502, QCS405, SDX20, SM6150, SM7150 (CVE-2020-3702)

  - A flaw was found in the way memory resources were freed in the unix_stream_recvmsg function in the Linux     kernel when a signal was pending. This flaw allows an unprivileged local user to crash the system by     exhausting available memory. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
    (CVE-2021-20265)

  - 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)

  - An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory write flaw was found in list_devices in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c in the Multi-     device driver module in the Linux kernel before 5.12. A bound check failure allows an attacker with     special user (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) privilege to gain access to out-of-bounds memory leading to a system crash or     a leak of internal kernel information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system     availability. (CVE-2021-31916)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.11.14 has a use-after-free in cipso_v4_genopt in net/ipv4/cipso_ipv4.c because     the CIPSO and CALIPSO refcounting for the DOI definitions is mishandled, aka CID-ad5d07f4a9cd. This leads     to writing an arbitrary value. (CVE-2021-33033)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.13.7, an unprivileged BPF program can obtain sensitive information from     kernel memory via a Speculative Store Bypass side-channel attack because the protection mechanism neglects     the possibility of uninitialized memory locations on the BPF stack. (CVE-2021-34556)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's CAPI over Bluetooth connection code. An attacker with a local     account can escalate privileges when CAPI (ISDN) hardware connection fails. (CVE-2021-34981)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.13.7, an unprivileged BPF program can obtain sensitive information from     kernel memory via a Speculative Store Bypass side-channel attack because a certain preempting store     operation does not necessarily occur before a store operation that has an attacker-controlled value.
    (CVE-2021-35477)

  - A flaw use-after-free in function sco_sock_sendmsg() of the Linux kernel HCI subsystem was found in the     way user calls ioct UFFDIO_REGISTER or other way triggers race condition of the call sco_conn_del()     together with the call sco_sock_sendmsg() with the expected controllable faulting memory page. A     privileged local user could use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system.
    (CVE-2021-3640)

  - A flaw was found in the KVM's AMD code for supporting SVM nested virtualization. The flaw occurs when     processing the VMCB (virtual machine control block) provided by the L1 guest to spawn/handle a nested     guest (L2). Due to improper validation of the int_ctl field, this issue could allow a malicious L1 to     enable AVIC support (Advanced Virtual Interrupt Controller) for the L2 guest. As a result, the L2 guest     would be allowed to read/write physical pages of the host, resulting in a crash of the entire system, leak     of sensitive data or potential guest-to-host escape. This flaw affects Linux kernel versions prior to     5.14-rc7. (CVE-2021-3653)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel in versions prior to v5.14-rc1. Missing size validations on     inbound SCTP packets may allow the kernel to read uninitialized memory. (CVE-2021-3655)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IEEE 802.15.4 wireless networking     subsystem in the way the user closes the LR-WPAN connection. This flaw allows a local user to crash the     system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2021-3659)

  - A lack of CPU resource in the Linux kernel tracing module functionality in versions prior to 5.14-rc3 was     found in the way user uses trace ring buffer in a specific way. Only privileged local users (with     CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability) could use this flaw to starve the resources causing denial of service.
    (CVE-2021-3679)

  - A flaw was found in the Routing decision classifier in the Linux kernel's Traffic Control networking     subsystem in the way it handled changing of classification filters, leading to a use-after-free condition.
    This flaw allows unprivileged local users to escalate their privileges on the system. The highest threat     from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-3715)

  - hso_free_net_device in drivers/net/usb/hso.c in the Linux kernel through 5.13.4 calls unregister_netdev     without checking for the NETREG_REGISTERED state, leading to a use-after-free and a double free.
    (CVE-2021-37159)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's OverlayFS subsystem in the way the user mounts the TmpFS filesystem     with OverlayFS. This flaw allows a local user to gain access to hidden files that should not be     accessible. (CVE-2021-3732)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth subsystem in the way user calls connect to     the socket and disconnect simultaneously due to a race condition. This flaw allows a user to crash the     system or escalate their privileges. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality,     integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-3752)

  - A race problem was seen in the vt_k_ioctl in drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c in the Linux kernel, which may     cause an out of bounds read in vt as the write access to vc_mode is not protected by lock-in vt_ioctl     (KDSETMDE). The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality. (CVE-2021-3753)

  - arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_rtas.c in the Linux kernel through 5.13.5 on the powerpc platform allows KVM guest     OS users to cause host OS memory corruption via rtas_args.nargs, aka CID-f62f3c20647e. (CVE-2021-37576)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A use-after-free vulnerability in the NFC stack can lead to a threat     to confidentiality, integrity, and system availability. (CVE-2021-3760)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux SCTP stack. A blind attacker may be able to kill an existing SCTP     association through invalid chunks if the attacker knows the IP-addresses and port numbers being used and     the attacker can send packets with spoofed IP addresses. (CVE-2021-3772)

  - ** DISPUTED ** In drivers/char/virtio_console.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.4, data corruption or loss     can be triggered by an untrusted device that supplies a buf->len value exceeding the buffer size. NOTE:
    the vendor indicates that the cited data corruption is not a vulnerability in any existing use case; the     length validation was added solely for robustness in the face of anomalous host OS behavior.
    (CVE-2021-38160)

  - arch/x86/kvm/mmu/paging_tmpl.h in the Linux kernel before 5.12.11 incorrectly computes the access     permissions of a shadow page, leading to a missing guest protection page fault. (CVE-2021-38198)

  - drivers/usb/host/max3421-hcd.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.6 allows physically proximate attackers to     cause a denial of service (use-after-free and panic) by removing a MAX-3421 USB device in certain     situations. (CVE-2021-38204)

  - A race condition was discovered in ext4_write_inline_data_end in fs/ext4/inline.c in the ext4 subsystem in     the Linux kernel through 5.13.13. (CVE-2021-40490)

  - The decode_data function in drivers/net/hamradio/6pack.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.13 has a slab     out-of-bounds write. Input from a process that has the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability can lead to root access.
    (CVE-2021-42008)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel FireDTV media card driver, where the user     calls the CA_SEND_MSG ioctl. This flaw allows a local user of the host machine to crash the system or     escalate privileges on the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality,     integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-42739)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.14.15. There is an array-index-out-of-bounds flaw in     the detach_capi_ctr function in drivers/isdn/capi/kcapi.c. (CVE-2021-43389)

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

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2018-3620: Local attackers on baremetal systems     could use speculative code patterns on hyperthreaded     processors to read data present in the L1 Datacache used     by other hyperthreads on the same CPU core, potentially     leaking sensitive data. (bnc#1087081).

  - CVE-2018-3646: Local attackers in virtualized guest     systems could use speculative code patterns on     hyperthreaded processors to read data present in the L1     Datacache used by other hyperthreads on the same CPU     core, potentially leaking sensitive data, even from     other virtual machines or the host system.
    (bnc#1089343).

  - CVE-2018-5390 aka 'SegmentSmack': The Linux Kernel can     be forced to make very expensive calls to     tcp_collapse_ofo_queue() and tcp_prune_ofo_queue() for     every incoming packet which can lead to a denial of     service (bnc#1102340).

  - CVE-2018-5391 aka 'FragmentSmack': A flaw in the IP     packet reassembly could be used by remote attackers to     consume lots of CPU time (bnc#1103097).

  - CVE-2018-14734: drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c allowed     ucma_leave_multicast to access a certain data structure     after a cleanup step in ucma_process_join, which allowed     attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free)     (bnc#1103119).

  - CVE-2017-18344: The timer_create syscall implementation     in kernel/time/posix-timers.c didn't properly validate     the sigevent->sigev_notify field, which leads to     out-of-bounds access in the show_timer function (called     when /proc/$PID/timers is read). This allowed userspace     applications to read arbitrary kernel memory (on a     kernel built with CONFIG_POSIX_TIMERS and     CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE) (bnc#1102851 bnc#1103580).

  - CVE-2018-9385: When printing the 'driver_override'     option from with-in the amba driver, a very long line     could expose one additional uninitialized byte     (bnc#1100491).

  - CVE-2018-13053: The alarm_timer_nsleep function in     kernel/time/alarmtimer.c had an integer overflow via a     large relative timeout because ktime_add_safe is not     used (bnc#1099924).

  - CVE-2018-13405: The inode_init_owner function in     fs/inode.c allowed local users to create files with an     unintended group ownership, in a scenario where a     directory is SGID to a certain group and is writable by     a user who is not a member of that group. Here, the     non-member can trigger creation of a plain file whose     group ownership is that group. The intended behavior was     that the non-member can trigger creation of a directory     (but not a plain file) whose group ownership is that     group. The non-member can escalate privileges by making     the plain file executable and SGID (bnc#1100416).

  - CVE-2018-13406: An integer overflow in the     uvesafb_setcmap function in     drivers/video/fbdev/uvesafb.c could result in local     attackers being able to crash the kernel or potentially     elevate privileges because kmalloc_array is not used     (bnc#1098016 1100418).

  - CVE-2018-5814: Multiple race condition errors when     handling probe, disconnect, and rebind operations could     be exploited to trigger a use-after-free condition or a     NULL pointer dereference by sending multiple USB over IP     packets (bnc#1096480).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

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

  - The ims_pcu_get_cdc_union_desc function in drivers/input/misc/ims-pcu.c in the Linux kernel through     4.13.11 allows local users to cause a denial of service (ims_pcu_parse_cdc_data out-of-bounds read and     system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device. (CVE-2017-16645)

  - The qmi_wwan_bind function in drivers/net/usb/qmi_wwan.c in the Linux kernel through 4.13.11 allows local     users to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and system crash) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via a crafted USB device. (CVE-2017-16650)

  - The vhci_hcd driver in the Linux Kernel before version 4.14.8 and 4.4.114 allows allows local attackers to     disclose kernel memory addresses. Successful exploitation requires that a USB device is attached over IP.
    (CVE-2017-16911)

  - The get_pipe() function (drivers/usb/usbip/stub_rx.c) in the Linux Kernel before version 4.14.8, 4.9.71,     and 4.4.114 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a specially crafted USB     over IP packet. (CVE-2017-16912)

(CVE-2017-16913)

  - The stub_send_ret_submit() function (drivers/usb/usbip/stub_tx.c) in the Linux Kernel before version     4.14.8, 4.9.71, 4.1.49, and 4.4.107 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference) via a specially crafted USB over IP packet. (CVE-2017-16914)

  - The usb_destroy_configuration function in drivers/usb/core/config.c in the USB core subsystem in the Linux     kernel through 4.14.5 does not consider the maximum number of configurations and interfaces before     attempting to release resources, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds     write access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device. (CVE-2017-17558)

(CVE-2017-18255)

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.13.5, a local user could create keyrings for other users via keyctl commands,     setting unwanted defaults or causing a denial of service. (CVE-2017-18270)

  - The load_segment_descriptor implementation in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.5     improperly emulates a MOV SS, NULL selector instruction, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial     of service (guest OS crash) or gain guest OS privileges via a crafted application. (CVE-2017-2583)

  - arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.3 allows local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted application     that leverages instruction emulation for fxrstor, fxsave, sgdt, and sidt. (CVE-2017-2584)

  - The ping_unhash function in net/ipv4/ping.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.8 is too late in obtaining a     certain lock and consequently cannot ensure that disconnect function calls are safe, which allows local     users to cause a denial of service (panic) by leveraging access to the protocol value of IPPROTO_ICMP in a     socket system call. (CVE-2017-2671)

  - The klsi_105_get_line_state function in drivers/usb/serial/kl5kusb105.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.5     places uninitialized heap-memory contents into a log entry upon a failure to read the line status, which     allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading the log. (CVE-2017-5549)

  - The ip6gre_err function in net/ipv6/ip6_gre.c in the Linux kernel allows remote attackers to have     unspecified impact via vectors involving GRE flags in an IPv6 packet, which trigger an out-of-bounds     access. (CVE-2017-5897)

  - The LLC subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.9.13 does not ensure that a certain destructor exists in     required circumstances, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (BUG_ON) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via crafted system calls. (CVE-2017-6345)

  - The hashbin_delete function in net/irda/irqueue.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.13 improperly manages     lock dropping, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) via crafted operations on     IrDA devices. (CVE-2017-6348)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel before version 4.12 in the way the KVM module processed the trap     flag(TF) bit in EFLAGS during emulation of the syscall instruction, which leads to a debug exception(#DB)     being raised in the guest stack. A user/process inside a guest could use this flaw to potentially escalate     their privileges inside the guest. Linux guests are not affected by this. (CVE-2017-7518)

  - The NFSv2/NFSv3 server in the nfsd subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.10.11 allows remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a long RPC reply, related to net/sunrpc/svc.c,     fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c, and fs/nfsd/nfsxdr.c. (CVE-2017-7645)

  - The saa7164_bus_get function in drivers/media/pci/saa7164/saa7164-bus.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.5     allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified     other impact by changing a certain sequence-number value, aka a double fetch vulnerability.
    (CVE-2017-8831)

  - The snd_msnd_interrupt function in sound/isa/msnd/msnd_pinnacle.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.7     allows local users to cause a denial of service (over-boundary access) or possibly have unspecified other     impact by changing the value of a message queue head pointer between two kernel reads of that value, aka a     double fetch vulnerability. (CVE-2017-9984)

  - The snd_msndmidi_input_read function in sound/isa/msnd/msnd_midi.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.7     allows local users to cause a denial of service (over-boundary access) or possibly have unspecified other     impact by changing the value of a message queue head pointer between two kernel reads of that value, aka a     double fetch vulnerability. (CVE-2017-9985)

  - Linux Kernel version 3.18 to 4.16 incorrectly handles an SG_IO ioctl on /dev/sg0 with     dxfer_direction=SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV and an empty 6-byte cmdp. This may lead to copying up to 1000 kernel     heap pages to the userspace. This has been fixed upstream in     https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/a45b599ad808c3c982fdcdc12b0b8611c2f92824 already. The problem has     limited scope, as users don't usually have permissions to access SCSI devices. On the other hand, e.g. the     Nero user manual suggests doing `chmod o+r+w /dev/sg*` to make the devices accessible. NOTE: third parties     dispute the relevance of this report, noting that the requirement for an attacker to have both the     CAP_SYS_ADMIN and CAP_SYS_RAWIO capabilities makes it virtually impossible to exploit. (CVE-2018-1000204)

  - drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_scsi_host.c in the Linux kernel before 4.16 allows local users to cause a denial     of service (ata qc leak) by triggering certain failure conditions. NOTE: a third party disputes the     relevance of this report because the failure can only occur for physically proximate attackers who unplug     SAS Host Bus Adapter cables (CVE-2018-10021)

  - The kernel_wait4 function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13, when an unspecified     architecture and compiler is used, might allow local users to cause a denial of service by triggering an     attempted use of the -INT_MIN value. (CVE-2018-10087)

  - The kill_something_info function in kernel/signal.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13, when an unspecified     architecture and compiler is used, might allow local users to cause a denial of service via an INT_MIN     argument. (CVE-2018-10124)

  - The xfs_bmap_extents_to_btree function in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_bmap.c in the Linux kernel through 4.16.3     allows local users to cause a denial of service (xfs_bmapi_write NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted     xfs image. (CVE-2018-10323)

  - The do_get_mempolicy function in mm/mempolicy.c in the Linux kernel before 4.12.9 allows local users to     cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system     calls. (CVE-2018-10675)

  - Linux kernel ext4 filesystem is vulnerable to an out-of-bound access in the ext4_ext_drop_refs() function     when operating on a crafted ext4 filesystem image. (CVE-2018-10877)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem. A local user can cause an out-of-bound access in     ext4_get_group_info function, a denial of service, and a system crash by mounting and operating on a     crafted ext4 filesystem image. (CVE-2018-10881)

  - The ext4_iget function in fs/ext4/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 4.15.15 mishandles the case of a     root directory with a zero i_links_count, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service     (ext4_process_freed_data NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) via a crafted ext4 image. (CVE-2018-1092)

  - The ext4_valid_block_bitmap function in fs/ext4/balloc.c in the Linux kernel through 4.15.15 allows     attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) via a crafted ext4 image     because balloc.c and ialloc.c do not validate bitmap block numbers. (CVE-2018-1093)

  - The cdrom_ioctl_media_changed function in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c in the Linux kernel before 4.16.6 allows     local attackers to use a incorrect bounds check in the CDROM driver CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl to read out     kernel memory. (CVE-2018-10940)

  - In the ea_get function in fs/jfs/xattr.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.1, a memory corruption bug in     JFS can be triggered by calling setxattr twice with two different extended attribute names on the same     file. This vulnerability can be triggered by an unprivileged user with the ability to create files and     execute programs. A kmalloc call is incorrect, leading to slab-out-of-bounds in jfs_xattr.
    (CVE-2018-12233)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr_leaf.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3. An OOPS may     occur for a corrupted xfs image after xfs_da_shrink_inode() is called with a NULL bp. (CVE-2018-13094)

  - The inode_init_owner function in fs/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16 allows local users to create     files with an unintended group ownership, in a scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group and     is writable by a user who is not a member of that group. Here, the non-member can trigger creation of a     plain file whose group ownership is that group. The intended behavior was that the non-member can trigger     creation of a directory (but not a plain file) whose group ownership is that group. The non-member can     escalate privileges by making the plain file executable and SGID. (CVE-2018-13405)

  - An integer overflow in the uvesafb_setcmap function in drivers/video/fbdev/uvesafb.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.17.4 could result in local attackers being able to crash the kernel or potentially elevate     privileges because kmalloc_array is not used. (CVE-2018-13406)
