The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4680-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that debugfs in the Linux kernel as used by blktrace contained a use-after-free in some     situations. A privileged local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash). (CVE-2019-19770)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the binder IPC implementation in the Linux kernel,     leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service     (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-0423)

    Daniele Antonioli, Nils Ole Tippenhauer, and Kasper Rasmussen discovered that legacy pairing and secure-     connections pairing authentication in the Bluetooth protocol could allow an unauthenticated user to     complete authentication without pairing credentials via adjacent access. A physically proximate attacker     could use this to impersonate a previously paired Bluetooth device. (CVE-2020-10135)

    It was discovered that the console keyboard driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition. A local     attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2020-25656)

    Minh Yuan discovered that the tty driver in the Linux kernel contained race conditions when handling     fonts. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory).
    (CVE-2020-25668)

    Keyu Man discovered that the ICMP global rate limiter in the Linux kernel could be used to assist in     scanning open UDP ports. A remote attacker could use to facilitate attacks on UDP based services that     depend on source port randomization. (CVE-2020-25705)

    Jinoh Kang discovered that the Xen event channel infrastructure in the Linux kernel contained a race     condition. An attacker in guest could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (dom0 crash).
    (CVE-2020-27675)

    Daniel Axtens discovered that PowerPC RTAS implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict     memory accesses in some situations. A privileged local attacker could use this to arbitrarily modify     kernel memory, potentially bypassing kernel lockdown restrictions. (CVE-2020-27777)

    Minh Yuan discovered that the framebuffer console driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle fonts     in some conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or     possibly expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2020-28974)

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):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 kmem_cache_alloc_bulk in mm/slub.c in the     Linux kernel before 5.5.11. The slowpath lacks the     required TID increment, aka     CID-fd4d9c7d0c71.(CVE-2020-29370)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)An issue was     discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.2.6. On NUMA     systems, the Linux fair scheduler has a use-after-free     in show_numa_stats() because NUMA fault statistics are     inappropriately freed, aka     CID-16d51a590a8c.(CVE-2019-20934)kernel:use-after-free     read in sunkbd_reinit in     drivers/input/keyboard/sunkbd.c(CVE-2020-25669)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)IBM Power9 (AIX 7.1,     7.2, and VIOS 3.1) processors could allow a local user     to obtain sensitive information from the data in the L1     cache under extenuating circumstances. IBM X-Force ID:
    189296.(CVE-2020-4788)kernel: powerpc: RTAS calls can     be used to compromise kernel     integrity(CVE-2020-27777)There is a use-after-free in     kernel versions before 5.5 due to a race condition     between the release of ptp_clock and cdev while     resource deallocation. When a (high privileged) process     allocates a ptp device file (like /dev/ptpX) and     voluntarily goes to sleep. During this time if the     underlying device is removed, it can cause an     exploitable condition as the process wakes up to     terminate and clean all attached files. The system     crashes due to the cdev structure being invalid (as     already freed) which is pointed to by the     inode.(CVE-2020-10690)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 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     memory leak in the Linux kernel performance monitoring     subsystem was found in the way if using     PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_FILTER. A local user could use this     flaw to starve the resources causing denial of     service.(CVE-2020-25704)Insufficient access control in     the Linux kernel driver for some Intel(R) Processors     may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable     information disclosure via local     access.(CVE-2020-8694)kernel: race condition in     fg_console can lead to use-after-free in     con_font_op(CVE-2020-25668)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)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 flaw was found in the     Linux kernel. A use-after-free was found in the way the     console subsystem was using ioctls KDGKBSENT and     KDSKBSENT. A local user could use this flaw to get read     memory access out of bounds. The highest threat from     this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality.(CVE-2020-25656)In kbd_keycode of     keyboard.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due     to a missing bounds check. This could lead to local     escalation of privilege with no additional execution     privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android     kernelAndroid ID: A-144161459(CVE-2020-0431)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202011-06 (Xen: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Xen. Please review the       CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    Please review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to the execution of arbitrary code, privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks.

CVE-2019-19039

'Team bobfuzzer' reported a bug in Btrfs that could lead to an assertion failure (WARN). A user permitted to mount and access arbitrary filesystems could use this to cause a denial of service (crash) if the panic_on_warn kernel parameter is set.

CVE-2019-19377

'Team bobfuzzer' reported a bug in Btrfs that could lead to a use-after-free. A user permitted to mount and access arbitrary filesystems could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-19770

The syzbot tool discovered a race condition in the block I/O tracer (blktrace) that could lead to a system crash. Since blktrace can only be controlled by privileged users, the security impact of this is unclear.

CVE-2019-19816

'Team bobfuzzer' reported a bug in Btrfs that could lead to an out-of-bounds write. A user permitted to mount and access arbitrary filesystems could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-0423

A race condition was discovered in the Android binder driver, that could result in a use-after-free. On systems using this driver, a local user could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-8694

Multiple researchers discovered that the powercap subsystem allowed all users to read CPU energy meters, by default. On systems using Intel CPUs, this provided a side channel that could leak sensitive information between user processes, or from the kernel to user processes. The energy meters are now readable only by root, by default.

This issue can be mitigated by running :

chmod go-r /sys/devices/virtual/powercap/*/*/energy_uj

This needs to be repeated each time the system is booted with an unfixed kernel version.

CVE-2020-14351

A race condition was discovered in the performance events subsystem, which could lead to a use-after-free. A local user permitted to access performance events could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

Debian's kernel configuration does not allow unprivileged users to access peformance events by default, which fully mitigates this issue.

CVE-2020-25656

Yuan Ming and Bodong Zhao discovered a race condition in the virtual terminal (vt) driver that could lead to a use-after-free. A local user with the CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG capability could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-25668

Yuan Ming and Bodong Zhao discovered a race condition in the virtual terminal (vt) driver that could lead to a use-after-free. A local user with access to a virtual terminal, or with the CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG capability, could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-25669

Bodong Zhao discovered a bug in the Sun keyboard driver (sunkbd) that could lead to a use-after-free. On a system using this driver, a local user could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-25704

kiyin(&#x5C39;&#x4EAE;) discovered a potential memory leak in the performance events subsystem. A local user permitted to access performance events could use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion).

Debian's kernel configuration does not allow unprivileged users to access peformance events by default, which fully mitigates this issue.

CVE-2020-25705

Keyu Man reported that strict rate-limiting of ICMP packet transmission provided a side-channel that could help networked attackers to carry out packet spoofing. In particular, this made it practical for off-path networked attackers to 'poison' DNS caches with spoofed responses ('SAD DNS' attack).

This issue has been mitigated by randomising whether packets are counted against the rate limit.

CVE-2020-27673 / XSA-332

Julien Grall from Arm discovered a bug in the Xen event handling code.
Where Linux was used in a Xen dom0, unprivileged (domU) guests could cause a denial of service (excessive CPU usage or hang) in dom0.

CVE-2020-27675 / XSA-331

Jinoh Kang of Theori discovered a race condition in the Xen event handling code. Where Linux was used in a Xen dom0, unprivileged (domU) guests could cause a denial of service (crash) in dom0.

CVE-2020-28941

Shisong Qin and Bodong Zhao discovered a bug in the Speakup screen reader subsystem. Speakup assumed that it would only be bound to one terminal (tty) device at a time, but did not enforce this. A local user could exploit this bug to cause a denial of service (crash or memory exhaustion).

CVE-2020-28974

Yuan Ming discovered a bug in the virtual terminal (vt) driver that could lead to an out-of-bounds read. A local user with access to a virtual terminal, or with the CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG capability, could possibly use this to obtain sensitive information from the kernel or to cause a denial of service (crash).

The specific ioctl operation affected by this bug (KD_FONT_OP_COPY) has been disabled, as it is not believed that any programs depended on it.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 4.19.160-2~deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux-4.19 packages.

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

  - 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)

  - There is a memory leak in     perf_event_parse_addr_filter.(CVE-2020-25704)

  - Insufficient access control in the Linux kernel driver     for some Intel(R) Processors may allow an authenticated     user to potentially enable information disclosure via     local access.(CVE-2020-8694)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A use-after-free     was found in the way the console subsystem was using     ioctls KDGKBSENT and KDSKBSENT. A local user could use     this flaw to get read memory access out of bounds. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality.(CVE-2020-25656)

  - In kbd_keycode of keyboard.c, there is a possible out     of bounds write due to a missing bounds check. This     could lead to local escalation of privilege with no     additional execution privileges needed. User     interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product:
    AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID:
    A-144161459(CVE-2020-0431)

  - A flaw was found in the HDLC_PPP module of the Linux     kernel in versions before 5.9-rc7. Memory corruption     and a read overflow is caused by improper input     validation in the ppp_cp_parse_cr function which can     cause the system to crash or cause a denial of service.
    The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality and integrity as well as system     availability.(CVE-2020-25643)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in versions before     5.9-rc7. Traffic between two Geneve endpoints may be     unencrypted when IPsec is configured to encrypt traffic     for the specific UDP port used by the GENEVE tunnel     allowing anyone between the two endpoints to read the     traffic unencrypted. The main threat from this     vulnerability is to data     confidentiality.(CVE-2020-25645)

  - An information leak flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's Bluetooth stack implementation handled     initialization of stack memory when handling certain     AMP packets. A remote attacker in adjacent range could     use this flaw to leak small portions of stack memory on     the system by sending a specially crafted AMP packets.
    The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality.(CVE-2020-12352)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel Bluetooth     implementation handled L2CAP packets with A2MP CID. A     remote attacker in adjacent range could use this flaw     to crash the system causing denial of service or     potentially execute arbitrary code on the system by     sending a specially crafted L2CAP packet. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality and integrity as well as system     availability.(CVE-2020-12351)

  - A missing CAP_NET_RAW check in NFC socket creation in     net/nfc/rawsock.c in the Linux kernel before 5.8.2     could be used by local attackers to create raw sockets,     bypassing security mechanisms, aka     CID-26896f01467a.(CVE-2020-26088)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of biovecs in versions before 5.9-rc7. A zero-length     biovec request issued by the block subsystem could     cause the kernel to enter an infinite loop, causing a     denial of service. This flaw allows a local attacker     with basic privileges to issue requests to a block     device, resulting in a denial of service. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is to system     availability.(CVE-2020-25641)

  - In skb_to_mamac of networking.c, there is a possible     out of bounds write due to an integer overflow. This     could lead to local escalation of privilege with no     additional execution privileges needed. User     interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product:
    AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID:
    A-143560807(CVE-2020-0432)

  - A TOCTOU mismatch in the NFS client code in the Linux     kernel before 5.8.3 could be used by local attackers to     corrupt memory or possibly have unspecified other     impact because a size check is in fs/ nfs/ nfs4proc.c     instead of fs/ nfs/ nfs4xdr.c, aka     CID-b4487b935452..(CVE-2020-25212)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel before 5.9-rc4. A     failure of the file system metadata validator in XFS     can cause an inode with a valid, user-creatable     extended attribute to be flagged as corrupt. This can     lead to the filesystem being shutdown, or otherwise     rendered inaccessible until it is remounted, leading to     a denial of service. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to system     availability.(CVE-2020-14385)

  - In uvc_scan_chain_forward of uvc_driver.c, there is a     possible linked list corruption due to an unusual root     cause. This could lead to local escalation of privilege     in the kernel with no additional execution privileges     needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android     kernelAndroid ID: A-111893654References: Upstream     kernel(CVE-2020-0404)

  - The rbd block device driver in drivers/block/rbd.c in     the Linux kernel through 5.8.9 used incomplete     permission checking for access to rbd devices, which     could be leveraged by local attackers to map or unmap     rbd block devices, aka     CID-f44d04e696fe.(CVE-2020-25284)

  - A race condition between hugetlb sysctl handlers in     mm/hugetlb.c in the Linux kernel before 5.8.8 could be     used by local attackers to corrupt memory, cause a NULL     pointer dereference, or possibly have unspecified other     impact, aka CID-17743798d812.(CVE-2020-25285)

  - A memory out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the Linux     kernel before 5.9-rc2 with the ext3/ext4 file system,     in the way it accesses a directory with broken     indexing. This flaw allows a local user to crash the     system if the directory exists. The highest threat from     this vulnerability is to system     availability.(CVE-2020-14314)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel before 5.9-rc4.
    Memory corruption can be exploited to gain root     privileges from unprivileged processes. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality and integrity.(CVE-2020-14386)
