The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.192-147.314. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2020-1480 advisory.

    2024-06-19: CVE-2020-14356 was added to this advisory.

    The Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) implementation in the Linux kernel mishandles a mutex within libsas. This     allows local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) by triggering certain error-handling code.
    (CVE-2017-18232)

    The xfs_bmap_extents_to_btree function in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_bmap.c in the Linux kernel can cause a NULL     pointer dereference in xfs_bmapi_write function. An attacker could trick a legitimate user or a privileged     attacker could exploit this by mounting a crafted xfs filesystem image to cause a kernel panic and thus a     denial of service. (CVE-2018-10323)

    The Linux kernel was found vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference in the drivers/net/phy/mdio-bcm-     unimac.c:unimac_mdio_probe() function caused by an unchecked return value from the platform_get_resource()     function. A successful flaw exploitation can cause a system panic and a denial of service. This flaw is     believed not to be an attacker triggerable as bad return value can be caused by hardware misconfiguration.
    (CVE-2018-8043)

    A flaw was found in the AMD Cryptographic Co-processor driver in the Linux kernel. An attacker, able to     send invalid SHA type commands, could cause the system to crash. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2019-18808)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The CX23888 Integrated Consumer Infrared Controller probe code     handles resource cleanup low memory conditions. A local attacker able to induce low memory conditions     could use this flaw to crash the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system     availability. (CVE-2019-19054)

    A memory leak flaw was found in the adis_update_scan_mode_burst() function in     drivers/iio/imu/adis_buffer.c in the Linux kernel. This flaw allows attackers to cause a denial of     service. (CVE-2019-19061)

    Memory leaks in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_hst.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.11 allow     attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering wait_for_completion_timeout()     failures. This affects the htc_config_pipe_credits() function, the htc_setup_complete() function, and the     htc_connect_service() function, aka CID-853acf7caf10. (CVE-2019-19073)

    A memory leak in the ath9k_wmi_cmd() function in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/wmi.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption), aka CID-728c1e2a05e4.
    (CVE-2019-19074)

    A flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor handled deferred TLB flush requests from guest.
    A race condition may occur between the guest issuing a deferred TLB flush request to KVM, and then KVM     handling and acknowledging it. This may result in invalid address translations from TLB being used to     access guest memory, leading to a potential information leakage issue. An attacker may use this flaw to     access guest memory locations that it should not have access to. (CVE-2019-3016)

    In the Android kernel in F2FS driver 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. User interaction     is not needed for exploitation. (CVE-2019-9445)

    A flaw was found in the ZRAM kernel module, where a user with a local account and the ability to read the     /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add file can create ZRAM device nodes in the /dev/ directory. This read     allocates kernel memory and is not accounted for a user that triggers the creation of that ZRAM device.
    With this vulnerability, continually reading the device may consume a large amount of system memory and     cause the Out-of-Memory (OOM) killer to activate and terminate random userspace processes, possibly making     the system inoperable. (CVE-2020-10781)

    A flaw was discovered in the XFS source in the Linux kernel. This flaw allows an attacker with the ability     to mount an XFS filesystem, to trigger a denial of service while attempting to sync a file located on an     XFS v5 image with crafted metadata. (CVE-2020-12655)

    A flaw null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel cgroupv2 subsystem in versions before 5.7.10 was found     in the way when reboot the system. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their     privileges on the system. (CVE-2020-14356)

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 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 the Android kernel in     F2FS driver 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. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation.(CVE-2019-9445)In calc_vm_may_flags of     ashmem.c, there is a possible arbitrary write to shared     memory due to a permissions bypass. This could lead to     local escalation of privilege by corrupting memory     shared between processes, with no additional execution     privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation. Product: Android Versions: Android kernel     Android ID: A-142938932(CVE-2020-0009)A new domain     bypass transient execution attack known as Special     Register Buffer Data Sampling (SRBDS) has been found.
    This flaw allows data values from special internal     registers to be leaked by an attacker able to execute     code on any core of the CPU. An unprivileged, local     attacker can use this flaw to infer values returned by     affected instructions known to be commonly used during     cryptographic operations that rely on uniqueness,     secrecy, or both.(CVE-2020-0543)A flaw was found in the     Linux kernel's implementation of the BTRFS file system.
    A local attacker, with the ability to mount a file     system, can create a use-after-free memory fault after     the file system has been unmounted. This may lead to     memory corruption or privilege     escalation.(CVE-2019-19377)A NULL pointer dereference     flaw may occur in the Linux kernel's relay_open in     kernel/relay.c. if the alloc_percpu() function is not     validated in time of failure and used as a valid     address for access. An attacker could use this flaw to     cause a denial of service.(CVE-2019-19462)A NULL     pointer dereference flaw was found in     tw5864_handle_frame function in     drivers/media/pci/tw5864/tw5864-video.c in the TW5864     Series Video media driver. The pointer 'vb' is     assigned, but not validated before its use, and can     lead to a denial of service. This flaw allows a local     attacker with special user or root privileges to crash     the system or leak internal kernel     information.(CVE-2019-20806)go7007_snd_init in     drivers/media/usb/go7007/snd-go7007.c in the Linux     kernel before 5.6 does not call snd_card_free for a     failure path, which causes a memory leak, aka     CID-9453264ef586.(CVE-2019-20810)An issue was     discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.6. In     rx_queue_add_kobject() and netdev_queue_add_kobject()     in net/coreet-sysfs.c, a reference count is mishandled,     aka CID-a3e23f719f5c.(CVE-2019-20811)A flaw was found     in the way the af_packet functionality in the Linux     kernel handled the retirement timer setting for     TPACKET_v3 when getting settings from the underlying     network device errors out. This flaw allows a local     user who can open the af_packet domain socket and who     can hit the error path, to use this vulnerability to     starve the system.(CVE-2019-20812)A NULL pointer     dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's     SELinux subsystem. 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)A flaw was found in the Linux     kernel's SELinux LSM hook implementation, where it     anticipated the skb would only contain a single Netlink     message. The hook incorrectly validated the first     Netlink message in the skb only, to allow or deny the     rest of the messages within the skb with the granted     permissions and without further processing. At this     time, there is no known ability for an attacker to     abuse this flaw.(CVE-2020-10751)A flaw was found in the     Linux Kernel in versions after 4.5-rc1 in the way     mremap handled DAX Huge Pages. This flaw allows a local     attacker with access to a DAX enabled storage to     escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2020-10757)A logic bug flaw was found in     the Linux kernel's implementation of SSBD. A bug in the     logic handling allows an attacker with a local account     to disable SSBD protection during a context switch when     additional speculative execution mitigations are in     place. This issue was introduced when the per     task/process conditional STIPB switching was added on     top of the existing SSBD switching. The highest threat     from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality.(CVE-2020-10766)A flaw was found in the     Linux kernel's implementation of the Enhanced IBPB     (Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier). The IBPB     mitigation will be disabled when STIBP is not available     or when the Enhanced Indirect Branch Restricted     Speculation (IBRS) is available. This flaw allows a     local attacker to perform a Spectre V2 style attack     when this configuration is active. The highest threat     from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality.(CVE-2020-10767)A flaw was found in the     prctl() function, where it can be used to enable     indirect branch speculation after it has been disabled.
    This call incorrectly reports it as being 'force     disabled' when it is not and opens the system to     Spectre v2 attacks. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to confidentiality.(CVE-2020-10768)A     flaw was found in the ZRAM kernel module, where a user     with a local account and the ability to read the     /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add file can create ZRAM     device nodes in the /dev/ directory. This read     allocates kernel memory and is not accounted for a user     that triggers the creation of that ZRAM device. With     this vulnerability, continually reading the device may     consume a large amount of system memory and cause the     Out-of-Memory (OOM) killer to activate and terminate     random userspace processes, possibly making the system     inoperable.(CVE-2020-10781)A stack buffer overflow     issue was found in the get_raw_socket() routine of the     Host kernel accelerator for virtio net (vhost-net)     driver. It could occur while doing an     ictol(VHOST_NET_SET_BACKEND) call, and retrieving     socket name in a kernel stack variable via     get_raw_socket(). A user able to perform ioctl(2) calls     on the '/dev/vhost-net' device may use this flaw to     crash the kernel resulting in DoS     issue.(CVE-2020-10942)A flaw was found in the Linux     kernel's implementation of the pivot_root syscall. This     flaw allows a local privileged user (root outside or     root inside a privileged container) to exploit a race     condition to manipulate the reference count of the root     filesystem. To be able to abuse this flaw, the process     or user calling pivot_root must have advanced     permissions. The highest threat from this vulnerability     is to system availability.(CVE-2020-12114)A     use-after-free flaw was found in usb_sg_cancel in     drivers/usb/core/message.c in the USB core subsystem.
    This flaw allows a local attacker with a special user     or root privileges to crash the system due to a race     problem in the scatter-gather cancellation and transfer     completion in usb_sg_wait. This vulnerability can also     lead to a leak of internal kernel     information.(CVE-2020-12464)A memory overflow and data     corruption flaw were found in the Mediatek MT76 driver     module for WiFi in mt76_add_fragment in     driverset/wireless/mediatek/mt76/dma.c. An oversized     packet with too many rx fragments causes an overflow     and corruption in memory of adjacent pages. A local     attacker with a special user or root privileges can     cause a denial of service or a leak of internal kernel     information.(CVE-2020-12465)A vulnerability was found     in __mptctl_ioctl in drivers/message/fusion/mptctl.c in     Fusion MPT base driver 'mptctl' in the SCSI device     module, where an incorrect lock leads to a race     problem. This flaw allows an attacker with local access     and special user (or root) privileges to cause a denial     of service.(CVE-2020-12652)A flaw was found in the way     the mwifiex_cmd_append_vsie_tlv() in Linux kernel's     Marvell WiFi-Ex driver handled vendor specific     information elements. A local user could use this flaw     to escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2020-12653)A flaw was found in the Linux     kernel. The Marvell mwifiex driver allows a remote WiFi     access point to trigger a heap-based memory buffer     overflow due to an incorrect memcpy operation. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     integrity and system availability.(CVE-2020-12654)A     flaw was discovered in the XFS source in the Linux     kernel. This flaw allows an attacker with the ability     to mount an XFS filesystem, to trigger a denial of     service while attempting to sync a file located on an     XFS v5 image with crafted metadata.(CVE-2020-12655)An     out-of-bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in the     Network XDP (the eXpress Data Path) module in the Linux     kernel's xdp_umem_reg function in net/xdp/xdp_umem.c.
    When a user with special user privilege of     CAP_NET_ADMIN (or root) calls setsockopt to register     umem ring on XDP socket, passing the headroom value     larger than the available space in the chunk, it leads     to an out-of-bounds write, causing panic or possible     memory corruption. This flaw may lead to privilege     escalation if a local end-user is granted permission to     influence the execution of code in this     manner.(CVE-2020-12659)A vulnerability was found in     sg_write in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the SCSI generic (sg)     driver subsystem. This flaw allows an attacker with     local access and special user or root privileges to     cause a denial of service if the allocated list is not     cleaned with an invalid (Sg_fd * sfp) pointer at the     time of failure, also possibly causing a kernel     internal information leak problem.(CVE-2020-12770)An     issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     5.6.11. btree_gc_coalesce in drivers/md/bcache/btree.c     has a deadlock if a coalescing operation     fails.(CVE-2020-12771)A flaw was found in the Linux     kernel loose validation of child/parent process     identification handling while filtering signal     handlers. A local attacker is able to abuse this flaw     to bypass checks to send any signal to a privileged     process.(CVE-2020-12826)A flaw was found in the Linux     kernel, where it allows userspace processes, for     example, a guest VM, to directly access h/w devices via     its VFIO driver modules. The VFIO modules allow users     to enable or disable access to the devices' MMIO memory     address spaces. If a user attempts to access the     read/write devices' MMIO address space when it is     disabled, some h/w devices issue an interrupt to the     CPU to indicate a fatal error condition, crashing the     system. This flaw allows a guest user or process to     crash the host system resulting in a denial of     service.(CVE-2020-12888)gadget_dev_desc_UDC_store in     drivers/usb/gadget/configfs.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.6.13 relies on kstrdup without considering     the possibility of an internal '\0' value, which allows     attackers to trigger an out-of-bounds read, aka     CID-15753588bcd4.(CVE-2020-13143)** DISPUTED ** An     issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.7.1.
    drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c has an integer overflow if     k_ascii is called several times in a row, aka     CID-b86dab054059. NOTE: Members in the community argue     that the integer overflow does not lead to a security     issue in this case.(CVE-2020-13974)A use-after-free     flaw was found in slcan_write_wakeup in     driverset/can/slcan.c in the serial CAN module slcan. A     race condition occurs when communicating with can using     slcan between the write (scheduling the transmit) and     closing (flushing out any pending queues) the SLCAN     channel. This flaw allows a local attacker with special     user or root privileges to cause a denial of service or     a kernel information leak. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to system     availability.(CVE-2020-14416)In the Linux kernel     through 5.7.6, usbtest_disconnect in     drivers/usb/misc/usbtest.c has a memory leak, aka     CID-28ebeb8db770.(CVE-2020-15393)The Linux kernel     through 5.7.11 allows remote attackers to make     observations that help to obtain sensitive information     about the internal state of the network RNG, aka     CID-f227e3ec3b5c. This is related to     drivers/char/random.c and     kernel/time/timer.c.(CVE-2020-16166)A flaw was found in     the Linux kernel's implementation of Userspace core     dumps. This flaw allows an attacker with a local     account to crash a trivial program and exfiltrate     private kernel data.(CVE-2020-10732)A flaw null pointer     dereference in the Linux kernel cgroupv2 subsystem in     versions before 5.7.10 was found in the way when reboot     the system. A local user could use this flaw to crash     the system or escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2020-14356)The Linux kernel 4.9.x before     4.9.233, 4.14.x before 4.14.194, and 4.19.x before     4.19.140 has a use-after-free because skcd->no_refcnt     was not considered during a backport of a     CVE-2020-14356 patch. This is related to the cgroups     feature.(CVE-2020-25220)get_gate_page in mm/gup.c in     the Linux kernel 5.7.x and 5.8.x before 5.8.7 allows     privilege escalation because of incorrect reference     counting (caused by gate page mishandling) of the     struct page that backs the vsyscall page. The result is     a refcount underflow. This can be triggered by any     64-bit process that can use ptrace() or     process_vm_readv(), aka     CID-9fa2dd946743.(CVE-2020-25221)In the Linux kernel     through 5.8.7, local attackers able to inject conntrack     netlink configuration could overflow a local buffer,     causing crashes or triggering use of incorrect protocol     numbers in ctnetlink_parse_tuple_filter in     net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c, aka     CID-1cc5ef91d2ff.(CVE-2020-25211)A buffer over-read     flaw was found in RH kernel versions before 5.0 in     crypto_authenc_extractkeys in crypto/authenc.c in the     IPsec Cryptographic algorithm's module, authenc. When a     payload longer than 4 bytes, and is not following     4-byte alignment boundary guidelines, it causes a     buffer over-read threat, leading to a system crash.
    This flaw allows a local attacker with user privileges     to cause a denial of service.(CVE-2020-10769)A flaw was     found in the Linux kernel's implementation of the     invert video code on VGA consoles when a local attacker     attempts to resize the console, calling an ioctl     VT_RESIZE, which causes an out-of-bounds write to     occur. This flaw allows a local user with access to the     VGA console to crash the system, potentially escalating     their privileges on the system. The highest threat from     this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and     integrity as well as system     availability.(CVE-2020-14331)In cdev_get of char_dev.c,     there is a possible use-after-free due to a race     condition.

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - In calc_vm_may_flags of ashmem.c, there is a possible     arbitrary write to shared memory due to a permissions     bypass. This could lead to local escalation of     privilege by corrupting memory shared between     processes, with no additional execution privileges     needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation. Product: Android Versions: Android kernel     Android ID: A-142938932(CVE-2020-0009)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel in versions after     4.5-rc1 in the way mremap handled DAX Huge Pages. This     flaw allows a local attacker with access to a DAX     enabled storage to escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2020-10757)

  - go7007_snd_init in     drivers/media/usb/go7007/snd-go7007.c in the Linux     kernel before 5.6 does not call snd_card_free for a     failure path, which causes a memory leak, aka     CID-9453264ef586.(CVE-2019-20810)

  - In the Android kernel in F2FS driver 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. User     interaction is not needed for     exploitation.(CVE-2019-9445)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernels SELinux LSM hook     implementation before version 5.7, where it incorrectly     assumed that an skb would only contain a single netlink     message. The hook would incorrectly only validate the     first netlink message in the skb and allow or deny the     rest of the messages within the skb with the granted     permission without further processing.(CVE-2020-10751)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.4.7. The prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo() function in     net/packet/af_packet.c can result in a denial of     service (CPU consumption and soft lockup) in a certain     failure case involving TPACKET_V3, aka     CID-b43d1f9f7067.(CVE-2019-20812)

  - ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in the Linux     kernel through 5.7.1. drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c has an     integer overflow if k_ascii is called several times in     a row, aka CID-b86dab054059. NOTE: Members in the     community argue that the integer overflow does not lead     to a security issue in this case.(CVE-2020-13974)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.0.6. In rx_queue_add_kobject() and     netdev_queue_add_kobject() in net/core/net-sysfs.c, a     reference count is mishandled, aka     CID-a3e23f719f5c.(CVE-2019-20811)

  - A flaw was found in the prctl() function, where it can     be used to enable indirect branch speculation after it     has been disabled. This call incorrectly reports it as     being 'force disabled' when it is not and opens the     system to Spectre v2 attacks. The highest threat from     this vulnerability is to     confidentiality.(CVE-2020-10768)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of the Enhanced IBPB (Indirect Branch Prediction     Barrier). The IBPB mitigation will be disabled when     STIBP is not available or when the Enhanced Indirect     Branch Restricted Speculation (IBRS) is available. This     flaw allows a local attacker to perform a Spectre V2     style attack when this configuration is active. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality.(CVE-2020-10767)

  - A logic bug flaw was found in the Linux kernel's     implementation of SSBD. A bug in the logic handling     allows an attacker with a local account to disable SSBD     protection during a context switch when additional     speculative execution mitigations are in place. This     issue was introduced when the per task/process     conditional STIPB switching was added on top of the     existing SSBD switching. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to confidentiality.(CVE-2020-10766)

  - A new domain bypass transient execution attack known as     Special Register Buffer Data Sampling (SRBDS) has been     found. This flaw allows data values from special     internal registers to be leaked by an attacker able to     execute code on any core of the CPU. An unprivileged,     local attacker can use this flaw to infer values     returned by affected instructions known to be commonly     used during cryptographic operations that rely on     uniqueness, secrecy, or both.(CVE-2020-0543)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.4.16, a race condition in     tty->disc_data handling in the slip and slcan line     discipline could lead to a use-after-free, aka     CID-0ace17d56824. This affects drivers/net/slip/slip.c     and drivers/net/can/slcan.c.(CVE-2020-14416)

  - The flow_dissector feature in the Linux kernel 4.3     through 5.x before 5.3.10 has a device tracking     vulnerability, aka CID-55667441c84f. This occurs     because the auto flowlabel of a UDP IPv6 packet relies     on a 32-bit hashrnd value as a secret, and because     jhash (instead of siphash) is used. The hashrnd value     remains the same starting from boot time, and can be     inferred by an attacker. This affects     net/core/flow_dissector.c and related     code.(CVE-2019-18282)

  - The VFIO PCI driver in the Linux kernel through 5.6.13     mishandles attempts to access disabled memory     space.(CVE-2020-12888)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.7.6, usbtest_disconnect     in drivers/usb/misc/usbtest.c has a memory leak, aka     CID-28ebeb8db770.(CVE-2020-15393)

  - A flaw was found in the ZRAM kernel module, where a     user with a local account and the ability to read the     /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add file can create ZRAM     device nodes in the /dev/ directory. This read     allocates kernel memory and is not accounted for a user     that triggers the creation of that ZRAM device. With     this vulnerability, continually reading the device may     consume a large amount of system memory and cause the     Out-of-Memory (OOM) killer to activate and terminate     random userspace processes, possibly making the system     inoperable.(CVE-2020-10781)
