The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP2 realtime kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2020-25705: A flaw in the way reply ICMP packets are limited in was found that allowed to quickly scan open UDP ports. This flaw allowed an off-path remote user to effectively bypassing source port UDP randomization. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and possibly integrity, because software and services that rely on UDP source port randomization (like DNS) are indirectly affected as well. Kernel versions may be vulnerable to this issue (bsc#1175721, bsc#1178782).

CVE-2020-8694: Insufficient access control for some Intel(R) Processors may have allowed an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access (bsc#1170415).

CVE-2020-25668: Fixed a use-after-free in con_font_op() (bsc#1178123).

CVE-2020-25656: Fixed a concurrency use-after-free in vt_do_kdgkb_ioctl (bnc#1177766).

CVE-2020-25285: Fixed a race condition between hugetlb sysctl handlers in mm/hugetlb.c (bnc#1176485).

CVE-2020-14351: Fixed a race in the perf_mmap_close() function (bsc#1177086).

CVE-2020-16120: Fixed permission check to open real file when using overlayfs. It was possible to have a file not readable by an unprivileged user be copied to a mountpoint controlled by that user and then be able to access the file (bsc#1177470).

CVE-2020-12351: Fixed a type confusion while processing AMP packets aka 'BleedingTooth' aka 'BadKarma' (bsc#1177724).

CVE-2020-12352: Fixed an information leak when processing certain AMP packets aka 'BleedingTooth' (bsc#1177725).

CVE-2020-25704: Fixed a memory leak in perf_event_parse_addr_filter() (bsc#1178393).

CVE-2020-24490: Fixed a heap buffer overflow when processing extended advertising report events aka 'BleedingTooth (bsc#1177726).

CVE-2020-28974: Fixed a slab-out-of-bounds read in fbcon (bsc#1178589)

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

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz),     the core of any Linux operating system. The kernel     handles the basic functions of the operating system:
    memory allocation, process allocation, device input and     output, etc.Security Fix(es):In create_pinctrl of     core.c, there is a possible out of bounds read due to a     use after free. This could lead to local information     disclosure with no additional execution privileges     needed.(CVE-2020-0427)NULL-ptr deref in the     spk_ttyio_receive_buf2() function in     spk_ttyio.c.(CVE-2020-27830)In do_epoll_ctl and     ep_loop_check_proc of eventpoll.c, there is a possible     use after free due to a logic error. This could lead to     local escalation of privilege with no additional     execution privileges needed.(CVE-2020-0466)In the     nl80211_policy policy of nl80211.c, there is a possible     out of bounds read due to a missing bounds check. This     could lead to local information disclosure with System     execution privileges     needed.(CVE-2020-27068)use-after-free read in     sunkbd_reinit in     drivers/input/keyboard/sunkbd.c.(CVE-2020-25669)A flaw     was found in the Linux kernels implementation of MIDI,     where an attacker with a local account and the     permissions to issue an ioctl commands to midi devices,     could trigger a use-after-free. A write to this     specific memory while freed and before use could cause     the flow of execution to change and possibly allow for     memory corruption or privilege     escalation.(CVE-2020-27786)An issue was discovered in     romfs_dev_read in fs/romfs/storage.c in the Linux     kernel before 5.8.4. Uninitialized memory leaks to     userspace, aka CID-bcf85fcedfdd.(CVE-2020-29371)A     slab-out-of-bounds read in fbcon in the Linux kernel     before 5.9.7 could be used by local attackers to read     privileged information or potentially crash the kernel,     aka CID-3c4e0dff2095. This occurs because     KD_FONT_OP_COPY in drivers/tty/vt/vt.c can be used for     manipulations such as font height.(CVE-2020-28974)A     locking inconsistency issue was discovered in the tty     subsystem of the Linux kernel through 5.9.13.
    drivers/tty/tty_io.c and drivers/tty/tty_jobctrl.c may     allow a read-after-free attack against TIOCGSID, aka     CID-c8bcd9c5be24.(CVE-2020-29660)A locking issue was     discovered in the tty subsystem of the Linux kernel     through 5.9.13. drivers/tty/tty_jobctrl.c allows a     use-after-free attack against TIOCSPGRP, aka     CID-54ffccbf053b.(CVE-2020-29661)An issue was     discovered in drivers/accessibility/speakup/spk_ttyio.c     in the Linux kernel through 5.9.9. Local attackers on     systems with the speakup driver could cause a local     denial of service attack, aka CID-d41227544427. This     occurs because of an invalid free when the line     discipline is used more than once.(CVE-2020-28941)A     buffer over-read (at the framebuffer layer) in the     fbcon code in the Linux kernel before 5.8.15 could be     used by local attackers to read kernel memory, aka     CID-6735b4632def.(CVE-2020-28915)A flaw in the way     reply ICMP packets are limited in the Linux kernel     functionality was found that allows to quickly scan     open UDP ports. This flaw allows an off-path remote     user to effectively bypassing 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.
    Kernel versions before 5.10 may be vulnerable to this     issue.(CVE-2020-25705)race condition in fg_console can     lead to use-after-free in     con_font_op.(CVE-2020-25668)The Linux kernel before     version 5.8 is vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference     in     drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c:serial8250_isa_init
    _ports() that allows local users to cause a denial of     service by using the p->serial_in pointer which     uninitialized.(CVE-2020-15437)An issue was discovered     in the Linux kernel through 5.9.1, as used with Xen     through 4.14.x. Guest OS users can cause a denial of     service (host OS hang) via a high rate of events to     dom0, aka CID-e99502f76271.(CVE-2020-27673)An issue was     discovered in __split_huge_pmd in mm/huge_memory.c in     the Linux kernel before 5.7.5. The copy-on-write     implementation can grant unintended write access     because of a race condition in a THP mapcount check,     aka CID-c444eb564fb1.(CVE-2020-29368)An issue was     discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.9.1, as used     with Xen through 4.14.x.
    drivers/xen/events/events_base.c allows event-channel     removal during the event-handling loop (a race     condition). This can cause a use-after-free or NULL     pointer dereference, as demonstrated by a dom0 crash     via events for an in-reconfiguration paravirtualized     device, aka CID-073d0552ead5.(CVE-2020-27675)A flaw was     found in the way RTAS handled memory accesses in     userspace to kernel communication. On a locked down     (usually due to Secure Boot) guest system running on     top of PowerVM or KVM hypervisors (pseries platform) a     root like local user could use this flaw to further     increase their privileges to that of a running     kernel.(CVE-2020-27777)
