The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:1842 advisory.

    The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

    Security Fix(es):

    * An use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel which enables a race condition in the L2TPv3 IP     Encapsulation feature. A local user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges or crash the system.
    (CVE-2016-10200, Important)

    * A flaw was found that can be triggered in keyring_search_iterator in keyring.c if type->match is NULL. A     local user could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges.
    (CVE-2017-2647, Important)

    * It was found that the NFSv4 server in the Linux kernel did not properly validate layout type when     processing NFSv4 pNFS LAYOUTGET and GETDEVICEINFO operands. A remote attacker could use this flaw to soft-     lockup the system and thus cause denial of service. (CVE-2017-8797, Important)

    This update also fixes multiple Moderate and Low impact security issues:

    * CVE-2015-8839, CVE-2015-8970, CVE-2016-9576, CVE-2016-7042, CVE-2016-7097, CVE-2016-8645, CVE-2016-9576,     CVE-2016-9588, CVE-2016-9806, CVE-2016-10088, CVE-2016-10147, CVE-2017-2596, CVE-2017-2671, CVE-2017-5970,     CVE-2017-6001, CVE-2017-6951, CVE-2017-7187, CVE-2017-7616, CVE-2017-7889, CVE-2017-8890, CVE-2017-9074,     CVE-2017-8890, CVE-2017-9075, CVE-2017-8890, CVE-2017-9076, CVE-2017-8890, CVE-2017-9077, CVE-2017-9242,     CVE-2014-7970, CVE-2014-7975, CVE-2016-6213, CVE-2016-9604, CVE-2016-9685

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

  - The perf_cpu_time_max_percent_handler function in     kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11     allows local users to cause a denial of service     (integer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other     impact via a large value, as demonstrated by an     incorrect sample-rate calculation.(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 timer_create syscall implementation in     kernel/time/posix-timers.c in the Linux kernel doesn't     properly validate the sigevent-i1/4zsigev_notify field,     which leads to out-of-bounds access in the show_timer     function.(CVE-2017-18344)

  - 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)

  - Linux kernel built with the KVM visualization support     (CONFIG_KVM), with nested visualization(nVMX) feature     enabled(nested=1), is vulnerable to host memory leakage     issue. It could occur while emulating VMXON instruction     in 'handle_vmon'. An L1 guest user could use this flaw     to leak host memory potentially resulting in     DoS.(CVE-2017-2596)

  - A race condition flaw was found in the N_HLDC Linux     kernel driver when accessing n_hdlc.tbuf list that can     lead to double free. A local, unprivileged user able to     set the HDLC line discipline on the tty device could     use this flaw to increase their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2017-2636)

  - A flaw was found that can be triggered in     keyring_search_iterator in keyring.c if type-i1/4zmatch     is NULL. A local user could use this flaw to crash the     system or, potentially, escalate their     privileges.(CVE-2017-2647)

  - A race condition leading to a NULL pointer dereference     was found in the Linux kernel's Link Layer Control     implementation. A local attacker with access to ping     sockets could use this flaw to crash the     system.(CVE-2017-2671)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel in     'tmpfs' file system. When file permissions are modified     via 'chmod' and the user is not in the owning group or     capable of CAP_FSETID, the setgid bit is cleared in     inode_change_ok(). Setting a POSIX ACL via 'setxattr'     sets the file permissions as well as the new ACL, but     doesn't clear the setgid bit in a similar way this     allows to bypass the check in 'chmod'.(CVE-2017-5551)

  - The do_shmat function in ipc/shm.c in the Linux kernel,     through 4.9.12, does not restrict the address     calculated by a certain rounding operation. This allows     privileged local users to map page zero and,     consequently, bypass a protection mechanism that exists     for the mmap system call. This is possible by making     crafted shmget and shmat system calls in a privileged     context.(CVE-2017-5669)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel where     having malicious IP options present would cause the     ipv4_pktinfo_prepare() function to drop/free the dst.
    This could result in a system crash or possible     privilege escalation.(CVE-2017-5970)

  - It was reported that with Linux kernel, earlier than     version v4.10-rc8, an application may trigger a BUG_ON     in sctp_wait_for_sndbuf if the socket tx buffer is     full, a thread is waiting on it to queue more data, and     meanwhile another thread peels off the association     being used by the first thread.(CVE-2017-5986)

  - It was found that the original fix for CVE-2016-6786     was incomplete. There exist a race between two     concurrent sys_perf_event_open() calls when both try     and move the same pre-existing software group into a     hardware context.(CVE-2017-6001)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP)     implementation freed SKB (socket buffer) resources for     a DCCP_PKT_REQUEST packet when the IPV6_RECVPKTINFO     option is set on the socket. A local, unprivileged user     could use this flaw to alter the kernel memory,     allowing them to escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2017-6074)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handling of     packets with the URG flag. Applications using the     splice() and tcp_splice_read() functionality could     allow a remote attacker to force the kernel to enter a     condition in which it could loop     indefinitely.(CVE-2017-6214)

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

  - It was found that the code in net/sctp/socket.c in the     Linux kernel through 4.10.1 does not properly restrict     association peel-off operations during certain wait     states, which allows local users to cause a denial of     service (invalid unlock and double free) via a     multithreaded application. This vulnerability was     introduced by CVE-2017-5986 fix (commit     2dcab5984841).(CVE-2017-6353)

  - The keyring_search_aux function in     security/keys/keyring.c in the Linux kernel allows     local users to cause a denial of service via a     request_key system call for the 'dead' key     type.(CVE-2017-6951)

  - The sg_ioctl function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux     kernel allows local users to cause a denial of service     (stack-based buffer overflow) or possibly have     unspecified other impacts via a large command size in     an SG_NEXT_CMD_LEN ioctl call, leading to out-of-bounds     write access in the sg_write function.(CVE-2017-7187)

  - In was found that in the Linux kernel, in     vmw_surface_define_ioctl() function in     'drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c' file, a     'num_sizes' parameter is assigned a user-controlled     value which is not checked if it is zero. This is used     in a call to kmalloc() and later leads to dereferencing     ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which in turn leads to a GPF and     possibly to a kernel panic.(CVE-2017-7261)

  - An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in the     Linux kernel's vmw_surface_define_ioctl() function, in     the 'drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c' file. Due     to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot     be fully ruled out, although we believe it is     unlikely.(CVE-2017-7294)

  - It was found that the packet_set_ring() function of the     Linux kernel's networking implementation did not     properly validate certain block-size data. A local     attacker with CAP_NET_RAW capability could use this     flaw to trigger a buffer overflow, resulting in the     crash of the system. Due to the nature of the flaw,     privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled     out.(CVE-2017-7308)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:2669 advisory.

    The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with     extremely high determinism requirements.

    Security Fix(es):

    * A race condition was found in the Linux kernel, present since v3.14-rc1 through v4.12. The race happens     between threads of inotify_handle_event() and vfs_rename() while running the rename operation against the     same file. As a result of the race the next slab data or the slab's free list pointer can be corrupted     with attacker-controlled data, which may lead to the privilege escalation. (CVE-2017-7533, Important)

    * It was found that the NFSv4 server in the Linux kernel did not properly validate layout type when     processing NFSv4 pNFS LAYOUTGET and GETDEVICEINFO operands. A remote attacker could use this flaw to soft-     lockup the system and thus cause denial of service. (CVE-2017-8797, Important)

  - Improved support for Hyper-V

  - Support for the tcp_westwood TCP scheduling algorithm     The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-8106: The handle_invept function in     arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel allowed     privileged KVM guest OS users to cause a denial of     service (NULL pointer dereference and host OS crash) via     a single-context INVEPT instruction with a NULL EPT     pointer (bsc#1035877).

  - CVE-2017-6951: The keyring_search_aux function in     security/keys/keyring.c in the Linux kernel allowed     local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and OOPS) via a request_key system call for     the 'dead' type. (bsc#1029850).

  - CVE-2017-2647: The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel     allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial     of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash)     via vectors involving a NULL value for a certain match     field, related to the keyring_search_iterator function     in keyring.c. (bsc#1030593)

  - CVE-2016-9604: This fixes handling of keyrings starting     with '.' in KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING, which could     have allowed local users to manipulate privileged     keyrings (bsc#1035576)

  - CVE-2017-7616: Incorrect error handling in the     set_mempolicy and mbind compat syscalls in     mm/mempolicy.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users     to obtain sensitive information from uninitialized stack     data by triggering failure of a certain bitmap     operation. (bnc#1033336).

  - CVE-2017-7645: The NFSv2/NFSv3 server in the nfsd     subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed 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. (bsc#1034670).

  - CVE-2017-7308: The packet_set_ring function in     net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel did not     properly validate certain block-size data, which allowed     local users to cause a denial of service (overflow) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted     system calls (bnc#1031579)

  - CVE-2017-2671: The ping_unhash function in     net/ipv4/ping.c in the Linux kernel was too late in     obtaining a certain lock and consequently could not     ensure that disconnect function calls are safe, which     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (panic)     by leveraging access to the protocol value of     IPPROTO_ICMP in a socket system call (bnc#1031003)

  - CVE-2017-7294: The vmw_surface_define_ioctl function in     drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux     kernel did not validate addition of certain levels data,     which allowed local users to trigger an integer overflow     and out-of-bounds write, and cause a denial of service     (system hang or crash) or possibly gain privileges, via     a crafted ioctl call for a /dev/dri/renderD* device     (bnc#1031440)

  - CVE-2017-7261: The vmw_surface_define_ioctl function in     drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux     kernel did not check for a zero value of certain levels     data, which allowed local users to cause a denial of     service (ZERO_SIZE_PTR dereference, and GPF and possibly     panic) via a crafted ioctl call for a /dev/dri/renderD*     device (bnc#1031052)

  - CVE-2017-7187: The sg_ioctl function in     drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer     overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via     a large command size in an SG_NEXT_CMD_LEN ioctl call,     leading to out-of-bounds write access in the sg_write     function (bnc#1030213)

  - CVE-2016-9588: arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel     mismanaged the #BP and #OF exceptions, which allowed     guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS     crash) by declining to handle an exception thrown by an     L2 guest (bsc#1015703).

  - CVE-2017-5669: The do_shmat function in ipc/shm.c in the     Linux kernel did not restrict the address calculated by     a certain rounding operation, which allowed local users     to map page zero, and consequently bypass a protection     mechanism that exists for the mmap system call, by     making crafted shmget and shmat system calls in a     privileged context (bnc#1026914).

  - CVE-2016-10200: Race condition in the L2TPv3 IP     Encapsulation feature in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service     (use-after-free) by making multiple bind system calls     without properly ascertaining whether a socket has the     SOCK_ZAPPED status, related to net/l2tp/l2tp_ip.c and     net/l2tp/l2tp_ip6.c (bnc#1028415)

  - CVE-2016-10208: The ext4_fill_super function in     fs/ext4/super.c in the Linux kernel did not properly     validate meta block groups, which allowed physically     proximate attackers to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read and system crash) via a crafted ext4     image (bnc#1023377).

  - CVE-2017-5897: The ip6gre_err function in     net/ipv6/ip6_gre.c in the Linux kernel allowed remote     attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors     involving GRE flags in an IPv6 packet, which trigger an     out-of-bounds access (bsc#1023762).

  - CVE-2017-5986: A race condition in the     sctp_wait_for_sndbuf function in net/sctp/socket.c in     the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial     of service (assertion failure and panic) via a     multithreaded application that peels off an association     in a certain buffer-full state (bsc#1025235).

  - CVE-2017-6074: The dccp_rcv_state_process function in     net/dccp/input.c in the Linux kernel mishandled     DCCP_PKT_REQUEST packet data structures in the LISTEN     state, which allowed local users to obtain root     privileges or cause a denial of service (double free)     via an application that made an IPV6_RECVPKTINFO     setsockopt system call (bnc#1026024)
