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):A flaw named FragmentSmack     was found in the way the Linux kernel handled     reassembly of fragmented IPv4 and IPv6 packets. A     remote attacker could use this flaw to trigger time and     calculation expensive fragment reassembly algorithm by     sending specially crafted packets which could lead to a     CPU saturation and hence a denial of service on the     system.(CVE-2018-5391)Multiple out-of-bounds write     flaws were found in the way the Cherry Cymotion     keyboard driver, KYE/Genius device drivers, Logitech     device drivers, Monterey Genius KB29E keyboard driver,     Petalynx Maxter remote control driver, and Sunplus     wireless desktop driver handled HID reports with an     invalid report descriptor size. An attacker with     physical access to the system could use either of these     flaws to write data past an allocated memory     buffer.(CVE-2014-3184)The __get_data_block function in     fs/f2fs/data.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11 allows     local users to cause a denial of service (integer     overflow and loop) via crafted use of the open and     fallocate system calls with an FS_IOC_FIEMAP     ioctl.(CVE-2017-18257)netetfilter/xt_osf.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.14.4 does not require the     CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for add_callback and     remove_callback operations. This allows local users to     bypass intended access restrictions because the     xt_osf_fingers data structure is shared across all     network namespaces.(CVE-2017-17450)A denial of service     flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel, where a race     condition caused a NULL pointer dereference in the RDS     socket-creation code. A local attacker could use this     flaw to create a situation in which a NULL pointer     crashed the kernel.(CVE-2015-7990)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)mm/memory.c in     the Linux kernel before 4.1.4 mishandles anonymous     pages, which allows local users to gain privileges or     cause a denial of service (page tainting) via a crafted     application that triggers writing to page     zero.(CVE-2015-3288)The ovl_setattr function in     fs/overlayfs/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 4.3.3     attempts to merge distinct setattr operations, which     allows local users to bypass intended access     restrictions and modify the attributes of arbitrary     overlay files via a crafted     application.(CVE-2015-8660)A flaw was found in the     Linux kernel where a local user with a shell account     can abuse the userfaultfd syscall when using hugetlbfs.
    A missing size check in hugetlb_mcopy_atomic_pte could     create an invalid inode variable, leading to a kernel     panic.(CVE-2017-15128)An integer overflow flaw was     found in the way the lzo1x_decompress_safe() function     of the Linux kernel's LZO implementation processed     Literal Runs. A local attacker could, in extremely rare     cases, use this flaw to crash the system or,     potentially, escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2014-4608)It was found that Linux kernel's     ptrace subsystem did not properly sanitize the     address-space-control bits when the program-status word     (PSW) was being set. On IBM S/390 systems, a local,     unprivileged user could use this flaw to set     address-space-control bits to the kernel space, and     thus gain read and write access to kernel     memory.(CVE-2014-3534)A use-after-free flaw was found     in the Linux kernel's file system encryption     implementation. A local user could revoke keyring keys     being used for ext4, f2fs, or ubifs encryption, causing     a denial of service on the system.(CVE-2017-7374)The     usbip_recv_xbuff function in     drivers/usb/usbip/usbip_common.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.5.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (out-of-bounds write) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted length value in     a USB/IP packet.(CVE-2016-3955)A flaw was found in the     patches used to fix the 'dirtycow' vulnerability     (CVE-2016-5195). An attacker, able to run local code,     can exploit a race condition in transparent huge pages     to modify usually read-only huge     pages.(CVE-2017-1000405)The aio_mount function in     fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel does not properly restrict     execute access, which makes it easier for local users     to bypass intended SELinux W^X policy     restrictions.(CVE-2016-10044)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)A use-after-free     vulnerability was found in tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue     and other tcp_* functions. This condition could allow     an attacker to send an incorrect selective     acknowledgment to existing connections, possibly     resetting a connection.(CVE-2016-6828)The instruction     decoder in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the KVM subsystem     in the Linux kernel before 3.18-rc2 does not properly     handle invalid instructions, which allows guest OS     users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and host OS crash) via a crafted     application that triggers (1) an improperly fetched     instruction or (2) an instruction that occupies too     many bytes. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of     an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-8480.(CVE-2014-8481)The     snd_compress_check_input function in     sound/core/compress_offload.c in the ALSA subsystem in     the Linux kernel before 3.17 does not properly check     for an integer overflow, which allows local users to     cause a denial of service (insufficient memory     allocation) or possibly have unspecified other impact     via a crafted SNDRV_COMPRESS_SET_PARAMS ioctl     call.(CVE-2014-9904)The resv_map_release function in     mm/hugetlb.c in the Linux kernel, through 4.15.7,     allows local users to cause a denial of service (BUG)     via a crafted application that makes mmap system calls     and has a large pgoff argument to the remap_file_pages     system call.(CVE-2018-7740)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2015:1272 advisory.

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

    * A flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's Transparent Huge Pages (THP)     implementation handled non-huge page migration. A local, unprivileged user     could use this flaw to crash the kernel by migrating transparent hugepages.
    (CVE-2014-3940, Moderate)

    * A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's eCryptfs     implementation decoded encrypted file names. A local, unprivileged user     could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their     privileges on the system. (CVE-2014-9683, Moderate)

    * A race condition flaw was found between the chown and execve system     calls. When changing the owner of a setuid user binary to root, the race     condition could momentarily make the binary setuid root. A local,     unprivileged user could potentially use this flaw to escalate their     privileges on the system. (CVE-2015-3339, Moderate)

    * Multiple out-of-bounds write flaws were found in the way the Cherry     Cymotion keyboard driver, KYE/Genius device drivers, Logitech device     drivers, Monterey Genius KB29E keyboard driver, Petalynx Maxter remote     control driver, and Sunplus wireless desktop driver handled HID reports     with an invalid report descriptor size. An attacker with physical access to     the system could use either of these flaws to write data past an allocated     memory buffer. (CVE-2014-3184, Low)

    * An information leak flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Advanced     Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) implementation handled access of the user     control's state. A local, privileged user could use this flaw to leak     kernel memory to user space. (CVE-2014-4652, Low)

    * It was found that the espfix functionality could be bypassed by     installing a 16-bit RW data segment into GDT instead of LDT (which espfix     checks), and using that segment on the stack. A local, unprivileged user     could potentially use this flaw to leak kernel stack addresses.
    (CVE-2014-8133, Low)

    * An information leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IEEE 802.11     wireless networking implementation. When software encryption was used, a     remote attacker could use this flaw to leak up to 8 bytes of plaintext.
    (CVE-2014-8709, Low)

    * It was found that the Linux kernel KVM subsystem's sysenter instruction     emulation was not sufficient. An unprivileged guest user could use this     flaw to escalate their privileges by tricking the hypervisor to emulate a     SYSENTER instruction in 16-bit mode, if the guest OS did not initialize the     SYSENTER model-specific registers (MSRs). Note: Certified guest operating     systems for Red Hat Enterprise Linux with KVM do initialize the SYSENTER     MSRs and are thus not vulnerable to this issue when running on a KVM     hypervisor. (CVE-2015-0239, Low)

    Red Hat would like to thank Andy Lutomirski for reporting the CVE-2014-8133     issue, and Nadav Amit for reporting the CVE-2015-0239 issue.

  * An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the way the     Apple Magic Mouse/Trackpad multi-touch driver handled     Human Interface Device (HID) reports with an invalid     size. An attacker with physical access to the system     could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially,     escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2014-3181,     Moderate)

  * A memory corruption flaw was found in the way the USB     ConnectTech WhiteHEAT serial driver processed completion     commands sent via USB Request Blocks buffers. An     attacker with physical access to the system could use     this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate     their privileges on the system. (CVE-2014-3185,     Moderate)

  * A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's mmap(2), madvise(2), and fallocate(2) system     calls interacted with each other while operating on     virtual memory file system files. A local user could use     this flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2014-4171,     Moderate)

  * A stack overflow flaw caused by infinite recursion was     found in the way the Linux kernel's Universal Disk     Format (UDF) file system implementation processed     indirect Information Control Blocks (ICBs). An attacker     with physical access to the system could use a specially     crafted UDF image to crash the system. (CVE-2014-6410,     Low)

  * An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the way the     Logitech Unifying receiver driver handled HID reports     with an invalid device_index value. An attacker with     physical access to the system could use this flaw to     crash the system or, potentially, escalate their     privileges on the system. (CVE-2014-3182, Low)

  * Multiple out-of-bounds write flaws were found in the     way the Cherry Cymotion keyboard driver, KYE/Genius     device drivers, Logitech device drivers, Monterey     Genius KB29E keyboard driver, Petalynx Maxter remote     control driver, and Sunplus wireless desktop driver     handled HID reports with an invalid report descriptor     size. An attacker with physical access to the system     could use either of these flaws to write data past an     allocated memory buffer. (CVE-2014-3184, Low)

  * It was found that the parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal()     function of the Linux kernel's ISOFS implementation did     not correctly check relocated directories when     processing Rock Ridge child link (CL) tags. An attacker     with physical access to the system could use a specially     crafted ISO image to crash the system or, potentially,     escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2014-5471,     CVE-2014-5472, Low)

This update also adds the following enhancement :

  * The Solarflare SFC9120 10GBE Ethernet NICs were not     supported by the MRG Realtime kernel. With this update,     the drivers have been updated to enable the Solarflare     SFC9120 cards on the Realtime kernel. (BZ#1086945)

All Red Hat Enterprise MRG Realtime users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues and add this enhancement.

The openSUSE 13.1 kernel was updated to fix security issues and bugs :

Security issues fixed: CVE-2014-9322: A local privilege escalation in the x86_64 32bit compatibility signal handling was fixed, which could be used by local attackers to crash the machine or execute code.

CVE-2014-9090: The do_double_fault function in arch/x86/kernel/traps.c in the Linux kernel did not properly handle faults associated with the Stack Segment (SS) segment register, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via a modify_ldt system call, as demonstrated by sigreturn_32 in the linux-clock-tests test suite.

CVE-2014-8133: Insufficient validation of TLS register usage could leak information from the kernel stack to userspace.

CVE-2014-0181: The Netlink implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.14.1 did not provide a mechanism for authorizing socket operations based on the opener of a socket, which allowed local users to bypass intended access restrictions and modify network configurations by using a Netlink socket for the (1) stdout or (2) stderr of a setuid program. (bsc#875051)

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.

The linux-2.6 update issued as DLA-246-1 caused regressions. This update corrects the defective patches applied in that update causing these problems. For reference the original advisory text follows.

This update fixes the CVEs described below.

CVE-2011-5321

Jiri Slaby discovered that tty_driver_lookup_tty() may leak a reference to the tty driver. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system.

CVE-2012-6689

Pablo Neira Ayuso discovered that non-root user-space processes can send forged Netlink notifications to other processes. A local user could use this flaw for denial of service or privilege escalation.

CVE-2014-3184

Ben Hawkes discovered that various HID drivers may over-read the report descriptor buffer, possibly resulting in a crash if a HID with a crafted descriptor is plugged in.

CVE-2014-8159

It was found that the Linux kernel's InfiniBand/RDMA subsystem did not properly sanitize input parameters while registering memory regions from user space via the (u)verbs API. A local user with access to a /dev/infiniband/uverbsX device could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system.

CVE-2014-9683

Dmitry Chernenkov discovered that eCryptfs writes past the end of the allocated buffer during encrypted filename decoding, resulting in local denial of service.

CVE-2014-9728 / CVE-2014-9729 / CVE-2014-9730 / CVE-2014-9731 / CVE-2015-4167

Carl Henrik Lunde discovered that the UDF implementation is missing several necessary length checks. A local user that can mount devices could use these various flaws to crash the system, to leak information from the kernel, or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2015-1805

Red Hat discovered that the pipe iovec read and write implementations may iterate over the iovec twice but will modify the iovec such that the second iteration accesses the wrong memory. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or possibly for privilege escalation.
This may also result in data corruption and information leaks in pipes between non-malicious processes.

CVE-2015-2041

Sasha Levin discovered that the LLC subsystem exposed some variables as sysctls with the wrong type. On a 64-bit kernel, this possibly allows privilege escalation from a process with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability; it also results in a trivial information leak.

CVE-2015-2042

Sasha Levin discovered that the RDS subsystem exposed some variables as sysctls with the wrong type. On a 64-bit kernel, this results in a trivial information leak.

CVE-2015-2830

Andrew Lutomirski discovered that when a 64-bit task on an amd64 kernel makes a fork(2) or clone(2) system call using int $0x80, the 32-bit compatibility flag is set (correctly) but is not cleared on return. As a result, both seccomp and audit will misinterpret the following system call by the task(s), possibly leading to a violation of security policy.

CVE-2015-2922

Modio AB discovered that the IPv6 subsystem would process a router advertisement that specifies no route but only a hop limit, which would then be applied to the interface that received it. This can result in loss of IPv6 connectivity beyond the local network.

This may be mitigated by disabling processing of IPv6 router advertisements if they are not needed: sysctl net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra=0 sysctl net.ipv6.conf.<interface>.accept_ra=0

CVE-2015-3339

It was found that the execve(2) system call can race with inode attribute changes made by chown(2). Although chown(2) clears the setuid/setgid bits of a file if it changes the respective owner ID, this race condition could result in execve(2) setting effective uid/gid to the new owner ID, a privilege escalation.

For the oldoldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 2.6.32-48squeeze12.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems were fixed in linux version 3.2.68-1+deb7u1 or earlier, except for CVE-2015-1805 and CVE-2015-4167 which will be fixed soon.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems were fixed in linux version 3.16.7-ckt11-1 or earlier, except for CVE-2015-4167 which will be fixed later.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux-2.6 packages.
