The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.1.4, a buffer overflow occurs when checking userspace params in     drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cx24116.c. The maximum size for a DiSEqC command is 6, according to the     userspace API. However, the code allows larger values such as 23. (CVE-2015-9289)

  - The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.14.6 omitted an access-control check when adding a key to     the current task's default request-key keyring via the request_key() system call, allowing a local user     to use a sequence of crafted system calls to add keys to a keyring with only Search permission (not Write     permission) to that keyring, related to construct_get_dest_keyring() in security/keys/request_key.c.
    (CVE-2017-17807)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.19.9. The USB subsystem mishandles size checks during     the reading of an extra descriptor, related to __usb_get_extra_descriptor in drivers/usb/core/usb.c.
    (CVE-2018-20169)

  - In the tun subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.13.14, dev_get_valid_name is not called before     register_netdevice. This allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and     panic) via an ioctl(TUNSETIFF) call with a dev name containing a / character. This is similar to     CVE-2013-4343. (CVE-2018-7191)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.1-rc5 allows page->_refcount reference count overflow, with resultant use-after-     free issues, if about 140 GiB of RAM exists. This is related to fs/fuse/dev.c, fs/pipe.c, fs/splice.c,     include/linux/mm.h, include/linux/pipe_fs_i.h, kernel/trace/trace.c, mm/gup.c, and mm/hugetlb.c. It can     occur with FUSE requests. (CVE-2019-11487)

  - ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in drm_load_edid_firmware in drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid_load.c in the     Linux kernel through 5.1.5. There is an unchecked kstrdup of fwstr, which might allow an attacker to cause     a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash). NOTE: The vendor disputes this issues as     not being a vulnerability because kstrdup() returning NULL is handled sufficiently and there is no chance     for a NULL pointer dereference. (CVE-2019-12382)

  - In arch/x86/lib/insn-eval.c in the Linux kernel before 5.1.9, there is a use-after-free for access to an     LDT entry because of a race condition between modify_ldt() and a #BR exception for an MPX bounds     violation. (CVE-2019-13233)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.2.3, set_geometry in drivers/block/floppy.c does not validate the sect and     head fields, as demonstrated by an integer overflow and out-of-bounds read. It can be triggered by an     unprivileged local user when a floppy disk has been inserted. NOTE: QEMU creates the floppy device by     default. (CVE-2019-14283)

  - There is heap-based buffer overflow in kernel, all versions up to, excluding 5.3, in the marvell wifi chip     driver in Linux kernel, that allows local users to cause a denial of service(system crash) or possibly     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-14816)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in the Linux kernel, all versions 3.x.x and 4.x.x before     4.18.0, in Marvell WiFi chip driver. The flaw could occur when the station attempts a connection     negotiation during the handling of the remote devices country settings. This could allow the remote device     to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-14895)

  - The fix for CVE-2019-11599, affecting the Linux kernel before 5.0.10 was not complete. A local user could     use this flaw to obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service, or possibly have other     unspecified impacts by triggering a race condition with mmget_not_zero or get_task_mm calls.
    (CVE-2019-14898)

  - A heap overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel, all versions 3.x.x and 4.x.x before 4.18.0, in Marvell     WiFi chip driver. The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a system crash, resulting in a     denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. The highest threat with this vulnerability is with the     availability of the system. If code execution occurs, the code will run with the permissions of root. This     will affect both confidentiality and integrity of files on the system. (CVE-2019-14901)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.1. There is a memory leak in     register_queue_kobjects() in net/core/net-sysfs.c, which will cause denial of service. (CVE-2019-15916)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.3.2, cfg80211_mgd_wext_giwessid in net/wireless/wext-sme.c does not reject a     long SSID IE, leading to a Buffer Overflow. (CVE-2019-17133)

  - rtl_p2p_noa_ie in drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/ps.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.6 lacks a     certain upper-bound check, leading to a buffer overflow. (CVE-2019-17666)

  - A flaw was found in the fix for CVE-2019-11135, in the Linux upstream kernel versions before 5.5 where,     the way Intel CPUs handle speculative execution of instructions when a TSX Asynchronous Abort (TAA) error     occurs. When a guest is running on a host CPU affected by the TAA flaw (TAA_NO=0), but is not affected by     the MDS issue (MDS_NO=1), the guest was to clear the affected buffers by using a VERW instruction     mechanism. But when the MDS_NO=1 bit was exported to the guests, the guests did not use the VERW mechanism     to clear the affected buffers. This issue affects guests running on Cascade Lake CPUs and requires that     host has 'TSX' enabled. Confidentiality of data is the highest threat associated with this vulnerability.
    (CVE-2019-19338)

  - A race condition in perf_event_open() allows local attackers to leak sensitive data from setuid programs.
    As no relevant locks (in particular the cred_guard_mutex) are held during the ptrace_may_access() call, it     is possible for the specified target task to perform an execve() syscall with setuid execution before     perf_event_alloc() actually attaches to it, allowing an attacker to bypass the ptrace_may_access() check     and the perf_event_exit_task(current) call that is performed in install_exec_creds() during privileged     execve() calls. This issue affects kernel versions before 4.8. (CVE-2019-3901)

  - In the Android kernel in Pixel C USB monitor driver there is a possible OOB write due to a missing bounds     check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User     interaction is not needed for exploitation. (CVE-2019-9456)

  - The Broadcom brcmfmac WiFi driver prior to commit a4176ec356c73a46c07c181c6d04039fafa34a9f is vulnerable     to a frame validation bypass. If the brcmfmac driver receives a firmware event frame from a remote source,     the is_wlc_event_frame function will cause this frame to be discarded and unprocessed. If the driver     receives the firmware event frame from the host, the appropriate handler is called. This frame validation     can be bypassed if the bus used is USB (for instance by a wifi dongle). This can allow firmware event     frames from a remote source to be processed. In the worst case scenario, by sending specially-crafted WiFi     packets, a remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.
    More typically, this vulnerability will result in denial-of-service conditions. (CVE-2019-9503)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SELinux subsystem in versions before 5.7.
    This flaw occurs while importing the Commercial IP Security Option (CIPSO) protocol's category bitmap into     the SELinux extensible bitmap via the' ebitmap_netlbl_import' routine. While processing the CIPSO     restricted bitmap tag in the 'cipso_v4_parsetag_rbm' routine, it sets the security attribute to indicate     that the category bitmap is present, even if it has not been allocated. This issue leads to a NULL pointer     dereference issue while importing the same category bitmap into SELinux. This flaw allows a remote network     user to crash the system kernel, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2020-10711)

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 SP4 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2019-11477: A sequence of SACKs may have been crafted such that one can trigger an integer overflow, leading to a kernel panic.

CVE-2019-11478: It was possible to send a crafted sequence of SACKs which will fragment the TCP retransmission queue. An attacker may have been able to further exploit the fragmented queue to cause an expensive linked-list walk for subsequent SACKs received for that same TCP connection.

CVE-2019-11479: An attacker could force the Linux kernel to segment its responses into multiple TCP segments. This would drastically increased the bandwidth required to deliver the same amount of data.
Further, it would consume additional resources such as CPU and NIC processing power.

CVE-2019-3846: A flaw that allowed an attacker to corrupt memory and possibly escalate privileges was found in the mwifiex kernel module while connecting to a malicious wireless network. (bnc#1136424)

CVE-2019-12382: An issue was discovered in drm_load_edid_firmware in drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid_load.c in the Linux kernel, there was an unchecked kstrdup of fwstr, which might have allowed an attacker to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash).
(bnc#1136586)

CVE-2019-5489: The mincore() implementation in mm/mincore.c in the Linux kernel allowed local attackers to observe page cache access patterns of other processes on the same system, potentially allowing sniffing of secret information. (Fixing this affects the output of the fincore program.) Limited remote exploitation may have been possible, as demonstrated by latency differences in accessing public files from an Apache HTTP Server. (bnc#1120843)

CVE-2019-11487: The Linux kernel allowed page reference count overflow, with resultant use-after-free issues, if about 140 GiB of RAM existed. It could have occured with FUSE requests. (bnc#1133190)

CVE-2019-11833: fs/ext4/extents.c in the Linux kernel did not zero out the unused memory region in the extent tree block, which might have allowed local users to obtain sensitive information by reading uninitialized data in the filesystem. (bnc#1135281)

CVE-2018-7191: In the tun subsystem in the Linux kernel, dev_get_valid_name was not called before register_netdevice. This allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and panic) via an ioctl(TUNSETIFF) call with a dev name containing a / character. (bnc#1135603)

CVE-2019-11085: Insufficient input validation in Kernel Mode Driver in i915 Graphics for Linux may have allowed an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.
(bnc#1135278)

CVE-2019-11815: An issue was discovered in rds_tcp_kill_sock in net/rds/tcp.c in the Linux kernel There was a race condition leading to a use-after-free, related to net namespace cleanup. (bnc#1134537)

CVE-2019-11884: The do_hidp_sock_ioctl function in net/bluetooth/hidp/sock.c in the Linux kernel allowed a local user to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a hidPCONNADD command, because a name field may not end with a '\0' character. (bnc#1134848)

CVE-2019-11486: The Siemens R3964 line discipline driver in drivers/tty/n_r3964.c in the Linux kernel had multiple race conditions. (bnc#1133188)

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

The remote CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:0174 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel through 4.19, a use-after-free can occur due to a race condition between fanout_add     from setsockopt and bind on an AF_PACKET socket. This issue exists because of the     15fe076edea787807a7cdc168df832544b58eba6 incomplete fix for a race condition. The code mishandles a     certain multithreaded case involving a packet_do_bind unregister action followed by a packet_notifier     register action. Later, packet_release operates on only one of the two applicable linked lists. The     attacker can achieve Program Counter control. (CVE-2018-18559)

  - Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and branch prediction may allow unauthorized     disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a speculative buffer overflow and     side-channel analysis. (CVE-2018-3693)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A heap based buffer overflow in mwifiex_uap_parse_tail_ies function     in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/ie.c might lead to memory corruption and possibly other     consequences. (CVE-2019-10126)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.1-rc5 allows page->_refcount reference count overflow, with resultant use-after-     free issues, if about 140 GiB of RAM exists. This is related to fs/fuse/dev.c, fs/pipe.c, fs/splice.c,     include/linux/mm.h, include/linux/pipe_fs_i.h, kernel/trace/trace.c, mm/gup.c, and mm/hugetlb.c. It can     occur with FUSE requests. (CVE-2019-11487)

  - There is heap-based buffer overflow in Linux kernel, all versions up to, excluding 5.3, in the marvell     wifi chip driver in Linux kernel, that allows local users to cause a denial of service(system crash) or     possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-14814)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel, where a Heap Overflow was found in mwifiex_set_wmm_params()     function of Marvell Wifi Driver. (CVE-2019-14815)

  - There is heap-based buffer overflow in kernel, all versions up to, excluding 5.3, in the marvell wifi chip     driver in Linux kernel, that allows local users to cause a denial of service(system crash) or possibly     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-14816)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.3.2, cfg80211_mgd_wext_giwessid in net/wireless/wext-sme.c does not reject a     long SSID IE, leading to a Buffer Overflow. (CVE-2019-17133)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.4.1 on powerpc allows Information Exposure because the Spectre-RSB mitigation is     not in place for all applicable CPUs, aka CID-39e72bf96f58. This is related to     arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.S and arch/powerpc/kernel/security.c. (CVE-2019-18660)

  - A flaw that allowed an attacker to corrupt memory and possibly escalate privileges was found in the     mwifiex kernel module while connecting to a malicious wireless network. (CVE-2019-3846)

  - In the Linux kernel through 4.20.11, af_alg_release() in crypto/af_alg.c neglects to set a NULL value for     a certain structure member, which leads to a use-after-free in sockfs_setattr. (CVE-2019-8912)

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

It was discovered that an integer overflow existed in the Linux kernel when reference counting pages, leading to potential use-after-free issues. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-11487)

Jann Horn discovered that a race condition existed in the Linux kernel when performing core dumps. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or expose sensitive information.
(CVE-2019-11599)

It was discovered that the ext4 file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly zero out memory in some situations. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2019-11833)

It was discovered that the Bluetooth Human Interface Device Protocol (HIDP) implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly verify strings were NULL terminated in certain situations. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory).
(CVE-2019-11884).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu 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 :

  - The Linux kernel before 5.1-rc5 allows     page-i1/4z_refcount reference count overflow, with     resultant use-after-free issues, if about 140 GiB of     RAM exists. This is related to fs/fuse/dev.c,     fs/pipe.c, fs/splice.c, include/linux/mm.h,     include/linux/pipe_fs_i.h, kernel/trace/trace.c,     mm/gup.c, and mm/hugetlb.c. It can occur with FUSE     requests.(CVE-2019-11487)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of ext4 extent management. The kernel doesn't correctly     initialize memory regions in the extent tree block     which may be exported to a local user to obtain     sensitive information by reading empty/uninitialized     data from the filesystem.(CVE-2019-11833)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of the Bluetooth Human Interface Device Protocol     (HIDP). A local attacker with access permissions to the     Bluetooth device can issue an IOCTL which will trigger     the do_hidp_sock_ioctl function in     net/bluetooth/hidp/sock.c.c. This function can leak     potentially sensitive information from the kernel stack     memory via a HIDPCONNADD command because a name field     may not be correctly NULL terminated.(CVE-2019-11884)

  - An information leakage issue was found in the way Linux     kernel's KVM hypervisor handled page fault exceptions     while emulating instructions like VMXON, VMCLEAR,     VMPTRLD, and VMWRITE with memory address as an operand.
    It occurs if the operand is a mmio address, as the     returned exception object holds uninitialized stack     memory contents. A guest user/process could use this     flaw to leak host's stack memory contents to a     guest.(CVE-2019-7222)

(bnc#1136586)

CVE-2019-11487: The Linux kernel allowed page reference count overflow, with resultant use-after-free issues, if about 140 GiB of RAM existed. It could have occured with FUSE requests. (bnc#1133190)

CVE-2019-5489: The mincore() implementation in mm/mincore.c in the Linux kernel allowed local attackers to observe page cache access patterns of other processes on the same system, potentially allowing sniffing of secret information.

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 SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP 2 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2019-10638: In the Linux kernel, a device could be tracked by an attacker using the IP ID values the kernel produces for connection-less protocols (e.g., UDP and ICMP). When such traffic was sent to multiple destination IP addresses, it was possible to obtain hash collisions (of indices to the counter array) and thereby obtain the hashing key (via enumeration). An attack may be conducted by hosting a crafted web page that uses WebRTC or gQUIC to force UDP traffic to attacker-controlled IP addresses. (bnc#1140575)

CVE-2019-10639: The Linux kernel allowed Information Exposure (partial kernel address disclosure), leading to a KASLR bypass. Specifically, it was possible to extract the KASLR kernel image offset using the IP ID values the kernel produces for connection-less protocols (e.g., UDP and ICMP). When such traffic was sent to multiple destination IP addresses, it was possible to obtain hash collisions (of indices to the counter array) and thereby obtain the hashing key (via enumeration). This key contains enough bits from a kernel address (of a static variable) so when the key was extracted (via enumeration), the offset of the kernel image is exposed. This attack can be carried out remotely, by the attacker forcing the target device to send UDP or ICMP (or certain other) traffic to attacker-controlled IP addresses.
Forcing a server to send UDP traffic is trivial if the server is a DNS server. ICMP traffic is trivial if the server answers ICMP Echo requests (ping). For client targets, if the target visited the attacker's web page, then WebRTC or gQUIC could be used to force UDP traffic to attacker-controlled IP addresses. NOTE: this attack against KASLR became viable because IP ID generation was changed to have a dependency on an address associated with a network namespace. (bnc#)

CVE-2019-10126: A flaw was found in the Linux kernel that might lead to memory corruption in the marvell mwifiex driver. (bnc#1136935)

CVE-2018-20836: An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel There was a race condition in smp_task_timedout() and smp_task_done() in drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c, leading to a use-after-free.
(bnc#1134395)

CVE-2019-11599: The coredump implementation in the Linux kernel did not use locking or other mechanisms to prevent vma layout or vma flags changes while it ran, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service, or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a race condition with mmget_not_zero or get_task_mm calls. This is related to fs/userfaultfd.c, mm/mmap.c, fs/proc/task_mmu.c, and drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c.
(bnc#1133738)

CVE-2019-12614: An issue was discovered in dlpar_parse_cc_property in arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dlpar.c in the Linux kernel There was an unchecked kstrdup of prop-name, which might allow an attacker to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash).
(bnc#)

CVE-2019-12818: An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel The nfc_llcp_build_tlv function in net/nfc/llcp_commands.c may return NULL. If the caller did not check for this, it will trigger a NULL pointer dereference. This will cause denial of service. This affects nfc_llcp_build_gb in net/nfc/llcp_core.c. (bnc#1137194)

CVE-2019-12819: An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel The function __mdiobus_register() in drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c called put_device(), which would trigger a fixed_mdio_bus_init use-after-free. This would cause a denial of service. (bnc#1138291)

CVE-2019-12456 a double-fetch bug in _ctl_ioctl_main() could allow local users to create a denial of service (bsc#1136922).

CVE-2019-12380: An issue was discovered in the efi subsystem in the Linux kernel phys_efi_set_virtual_address_map in arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c and efi_call_phys_prolog in arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_64.c mishandle memory allocation failures.
NOTE: This id is disputed as not being an issue because All the code touched by the referenced commit runs only at boot, before any user processes are started. Therefore, there is no possibility for an unprivileged user to control it. (bnc#)

CVE-2019-11487: The Linux kernel allowed page-_refcount reference count to overflow, with resultant use-after-free issues, if about 140 GiB of RAM exists. This is related to fs/fuse/dev.c, fs/pipe.c, fs/splice.c, include/linux/mm.h, include/linux/pipe_fs_i.h, kernel/trace/trace.c, mm/gup.c, and mm/hugetlb.c. It can occur with FUSE requests.

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

  - The bnep_sock_ioctl function in     net/bluetooth/bnep/sock.c in the Linux kernel before     2.6.39 does not ensure that a certain device field ends     with a '\0' character, which allows local users to     obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel     stack memory, or cause a denial of service (BUG and     system crash), via a BNEPCONNADD command.
    (CVE-2011-1079)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/gfs2/rgrp.c in the Linux     kernel before 4.8. A use-after-free is caused by the     functions gfs2_clear_rgrpd and read_rindex_entry.
    (CVE-2016-10905)

  - An issue was discovered in     drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.13. There is potential exposure of kernel stack     memory because aac_get_hba_info does not initialize the     hbainfo structure. (CVE-2017-18550)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     4.14.11. A double free may be caused by the function     allocate_trace_buffer in the file kernel/trace/trace.c.
    (CVE-2017-18595)

  - Improper invalidation for page table updates by a     virtual guest operating system for multiple Intel(R)     Processors may allow an authenticated user to     potentially enable denial of service of the host system     via local access. (CVE-2018-12207)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.20.
    There is a race condition in smp_task_timedout() and     smp_task_done() in drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c,     leading to a use-after-free. (CVE-2018-20836)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     4.18.7. In create_qp_common in     drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/qp.c, mlx5_ib_create_qp_resp     was never initialized, resulting in a leak of stack     memory to userspace. (CVE-2018-20855)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/xfs/xfs_super.c in the     Linux kernel before 4.18. A use after free exists,     related to xfs_fs_fill_super failure. (CVE-2018-20976)

  - In the tun subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.13.14,     dev_get_valid_name is not called before     register_netdevice. This allows local users to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and panic)     via an ioctl(TUNSETIFF) call with a dev name containing     a / character. This is similar to CVE-2013-4343.
    (CVE-2018-7191)

  - Insufficient access control in subsystem for Intel (R)     processor graphics in 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th Generation     Intel(R) Core(TM) Processor Families; Intel(R)     Pentium(R) Processor J, N, Silver and Gold Series;
    Intel(R) Celeron(R) Processor J, N, G3900 and G4900     Series; Intel(R) Atom(R) Processor A and E3900 Series;
    Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor E3-1500 v5 and v6 and E-2100     Processor Families may allow an authenticated user to     potentially enable denial of service via local access.
    (CVE-2019-0154)

  - Insufficient access control in a subsystem for Intel (R)     processor graphics in 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th Generation     Intel(R) Core(TM) Processor Families; Intel(R)     Pentium(R) Processor J, N, Silver and Gold Series;
    Intel(R) Celeron(R) Processor J, N, G3900 and G4900     Series; Intel(R) Atom(R) Processor A and E3900 Series;
    Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor E3-1500 v5 and v6, E-2100 and     E-2200 Processor Families; Intel(R) Graphics Driver for     Windows before 26.20.100.6813 (DCH) or 26.20.100.6812     and before 21.20.x.5077 (aka15.45.5077), i915 Linux     Driver for Intel(R) Processor Graphics before versions     5.4-rc7, 5.3.11, 4.19.84, 4.14.154, 4.9.201, 4.4.201 may     allow an authenticated user to potentially enable     escalation of privilege via local access.
    (CVE-2019-0155)

  - TSX Asynchronous Abort condition on some CPUs utilizing     speculative execution may allow an authenticated user to     potentially enable information disclosure via a side     channel with local access. (CVE-2019-11135)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.1-rc5 allows page->_refcount     reference count overflow, with resultant use-after-free     issues, if about 140 GiB of RAM exists. This is related     to fs/fuse/dev.c, fs/pipe.c, fs/splice.c,     include/linux/mm.h, include/linux/pipe_fs_i.h,     kernel/trace/trace.c, mm/gup.c, and mm/hugetlb.c. It can     occur with FUSE requests. (CVE-2019-11487)

  - The do_hidp_sock_ioctl function in     net/bluetooth/hidp/sock.c in the Linux kernel before     5.0.15 allows a local user to obtain potentially     sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a     HIDPCONNADD command, because a name field may not end     with a '\0' character. (CVE-2019-11884)

  - ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in     drm_load_edid_firmware in     drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid_load.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.1.5. There is an unchecked kstrdup of fwstr,     which might allow an attacker to cause a denial of     service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash).
    NOTE: The vendor disputes this issues as not being a     vulnerability because kstrdup() returning NULL is     handled sufficiently and there is no chance for a NULL     pointer dereference. (CVE-2019-12382)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.2.3. There is a use-after-free caused by a malicious     USB device in the drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-     init.c driver. (CVE-2019-15213)

  - An issue was discovered in xfs_setattr_nonsize in     fs/xfs/xfs_iops.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.9. XFS     partially wedges when a chgrp fails on account of being     out of disk quota. xfs_setattr_nonsize is failing to     unlock the ILOCK after the xfs_qm_vop_chown_reserve call     fails. This is primarily a local DoS attack vector, but     it might result as well in remote DoS if the XFS     filesystem is exported for instance via NFS.
    (CVE-2019-15538)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.1.13, there is a memory     leak in drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c when SAS     expander discovery fails. This will cause a BUG and     denial of service. (CVE-2019-15807)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.0.1. There is a memory leak in     register_queue_kobjects() in net/core/net-sysfs.c, which     will cause denial of service. (CVE-2019-15916)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.0.4. The 9p filesystem did not protect i_size_write()     properly, which causes an i_size_read() infinite loop     and denial of service on SMP systems. (CVE-2019-16413)

  - An issue was discovered in write_tpt_entry in     drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/mem.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.3.2. The cxgb4 driver is directly calling     dma_map_single (a DMA function) from a stack variable.
    This could allow an attacker to trigger a Denial of     Service, exploitable if this driver is used on an     architecture for which this stack/DMA interaction has     security relevance. (CVE-2019-17075)

  - The SCTP socket buffer used by a userspace application     is not accounted by the cgroups subsystem. An attacker     can use this flaw to cause a denial of service attack.
    Kernel 3.10.x and 4.18.x branches are believed to be     vulnerable. (CVE-2019-3874)
