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

  - CVE-2017-7518     Andy Lutomirski discovered that KVM is prone to an     incorrect debug exception (#DB) error occurring while     emulating a syscall instruction. A process inside a     guest can take advantage of this flaw for privilege     escalation inside a guest.

  - CVE-2017-7558 (stretch only)     Stefano Brivio of Red Hat discovered that the SCTP     subsystem is prone to a data leak vulnerability due to     an out-of-bounds read flaw, allowing to leak up to 100     uninitialized bytes to userspace.

  - CVE-2017-10661 (jessie only)     Dmitry Vyukov of Google reported that the timerfd     facility does not properly handle certain concurrent     operations on a single file descriptor. This allows a     local attacker to cause a denial of service or     potentially execute arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2017-11600     Bo Zhang reported that the xfrm subsystem does not     properly validate one of the parameters to a netlink     message. Local users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     can use this to cause a denial of service or potentially     to execute arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2017-12134 / #866511 / XSA-229     Jan H. Schoenherr of Amazon discovered that when Linux     is running in a Xen PV domain on an x86 system, it may     incorrectly merge block I/O requests. A buggy or     malicious guest may trigger this bug in dom0 or a PV     driver domain, causing a denial of service or     potentially execution of arbitrary code.

  This issue can be mitigated by disabling merges on the underlying   back-end block devices, e.g.:echo 2 >   /sys/block/nvme0n1/queue/nomerges

  - CVE-2017-12146 (stretch only)     Adrian Salido of Google reported a race condition in     access to the'driver_override' attribute for platform     devices in sysfs. If unprivileged users are permitted to     access this attribute, this might allow them to gain     privileges.

  - CVE-2017-12153     Bo Zhang reported that the cfg80211 (wifi) subsystem     does not properly validate the parameters to a netlink     message. Local users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     (in any user namespace with a wifi device) can use this     to cause a denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-12154     Jim Mattson of Google reported that the KVM     implementation for Intel x86 processors did not     correctly handle certain nested hypervisor     configurations. A malicious guest (or nested guest in a     suitable L1 hypervisor) could use this for denial of     service.

  - CVE-2017-14106     Andrey Konovalov discovered that a user-triggerable     division by zero in the tcp_disconnect() function could     result in local denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-14140     Otto Ebeling reported that the move_pages() system call     performed insufficient validation of the UIDs of the     calling and target processes, resulting in a partial     ASLR bypass. This made it easier for local users to     exploit vulnerabilities in programs installed with the     set-UID permission bit set.

  - CVE-2017-14156     'sohu0106' reported an information leak in the atyfb     video driver. A local user with access to a framebuffer     device handled by this driver could use this to obtain     sensitive information.

  - CVE-2017-14340     Richard Wareing discovered that the XFS implementation     allows the creation of files with the 'realtime' flag on     a filesystem with no realtime device, which can result     in a crash (oops). A local user with access to an XFS     filesystem that does not have a realtime device can use     this for denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-14489     ChunYu Wang of Red Hat discovered that the iSCSI     subsystem does not properly validate the length of a     netlink message, leading to memory corruption. A local     user with permission to manage iSCSI devices can use     this for denial of service or possibly to execute     arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2017-14497 (stretch only)     Benjamin Poirier of SUSE reported that vnet headers are     not properly handled within the tpacket_rcv() function     in the raw packet (af_packet) feature. A local user with     the CAP_NET_RAW capability can take advantage of this     flaw to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow, and     disk and memory corruption) or have other impact.

  - CVE-2017-1000111     Andrey Konovalov of Google reported a race condition in     the raw packet (af_packet) feature. Local users with the     CAP_NET_RAW capability can use this for denial of     service or possibly to execute arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2017-1000112     Andrey Konovalov of Google reported a race condition     flaw in the UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) code. A     local user can use this flaw for denial of service or     possibly to execute arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2017-1000251 / #875881     Armis Labs discovered that the Bluetooth subsystem does     not properly validate L2CAP configuration responses,     leading to a stack-based buffer overflow. This is one of     several vulnerabilities dubbed 'Blueborne'. A nearby     attacker can use this to cause a denial of service or     possibly to execute arbitrary code on a system with     Bluetooth enabled.

  - CVE-2017-1000252 (stretch only)     Jan H. Schoenherr of Amazon reported that the KVM     implementation for Intel x86 processors did not     correctly validate interrupt injection requests. A local     user with permission to use KVM could use this for     denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-1000370     The Qualys Research Labs reported that a large argument     or environment list can result in ASLR bypass for 32-bit     PIE binaries.

  - CVE-2017-1000371     The Qualys Research Labs reported that a large argument     or environment list can result in a stack/heap clash for     32-bit PIE binaries.

  - CVE-2017-1000380     Alexander Potapenko of Google reported a race condition     in the ALSA (sound) timer driver, leading to an     information leak. A local user with permission to access     sound devices could use this to obtain sensitive     information.

Debian disables unprivileged user namespaces by default, but if they are enabled (via the kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone sysctl) then CVE-2017-11600, CVE-2017-14497 and CVE-2017-1000111 can be exploited by any local user.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1 LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. This update adds mitigations for various side channel attacks against modern CPUs that could disclose content of otherwise unreadable memory (bnc#1068032).

  - CVE-2017-5753 / 'SpectreAttack': Local attackers on     systems with modern CPUs featuring deep instruction     pipelining could use attacker controllable speculative     execution over code patterns in the Linux Kernel to leak     content from otherwise not readable memory in the same     address space, allowing retrieval of passwords,     cryptographic keys and other secrets. This problem is     mitigated by adding speculative fencing on affected code     paths throughout the Linux kernel. This issue is     addressed for the x86_64, IBM Power and IBM zSeries     architecture.

  - CVE-2017-5715 / 'SpectreAttack': Local attackers on     systems with modern CPUs featuring branch prediction     could use mispredicted branches to speculatively execute     code patterns that in turn could be made to leak other     non-readable content in the same address space, an     attack similar to CVE-2017-5753. This problem is     mitigated by disabling predictive branches, depending on     CPU architecture either by firmware updates and/or fixes     in the user-kernel privilege boundaries. This is done     with help of Linux Kernel fixes on the Intel/AMD x86_64     and IBM zSeries architectures. On x86_64, this requires     also updates of the CPU microcode packages, delivered in     separate updates. For IBM Power and zSeries the required     firmware updates are supplied over regular channels by     IBM. As this feature can have a performance impact, it     can be disabled using the 'nospec' kernel commandline     option.

  - CVE-2017-5754 / 'MeltdownAttack': Local attackers on     systems with modern CPUs featuring deep instruction     pipelining could use code patterns in userspace to     speculative executive code that would read otherwise     read protected memory, an attack similar to     CVE-2017-5753. This problem is mitigated by unmapping     the Linux Kernel from the user address space during user     code execution, following a approach called 'KAISER'.
    The terms used here are 'KAISER' / 'Kernel Address     Isolation' and 'PTI' / 'Page Table Isolation'. This     update does this on the x86_64 architecture, it is not     required on the IBM zSeries architecture. This feature     can be enabled / disabled by the 'pti=[on|off|auto]' or     'nopti' commandline options. The following security bugs     were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-15868: The bnep_add_connection function in     net/bluetooth/bnep/core.c in the Linux kernel did not     ensure that an l2cap socket is available, which allowed     local users to gain privileges via a crafted application     (bnc#1071470).

  - CVE-2017-13167: An elevation of privilege vulnerability     in the kernel sound timer. (bnc#1072876).

  - CVE-2017-17558: The usb_destroy_configuration function     in drivers/usb/core/config.c in the USB core subsystem     in the Linux kernel did not consider the maximum number     of configurations and interfaces before attempting to     release resources, which allowed local users to cause a     denial of service (out-of-bounds write access) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB     device (bnc#1072561).

  - CVE-2017-17450: net/netfilter/xt_osf.c in the Linux     kernel did not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for     add_callback and remove_callback operations, which     allowed local users to bypass intended access     restrictions because the xt_osf_fingers data structure     is shared across all net namespaces (bnc#1071695).

  - CVE-2017-17449: The __netlink_deliver_tap_skb function     in net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel through     4.14.4, when CONFIG_NLMON is enabled, did not restrict     observations of Netlink messages to a single net     namespace, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     to sniff an nlmon interface for all Netlink activity on     the system (bnc#1071694).

  - CVE-2017-17448: net/netfilter/nfnetlink_cthelper.c in     the Linux kernel did not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN     capability for new, get, and del operations, which     allowed local users to bypass intended access     restrictions because the nfnl_cthelper_list data     structure is shared across all net namespaces     (bnc#1071693).

  - CVE-2017-8824: The dccp_disconnect function in     net/dccp/proto.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users     to gain privileges or cause a denial of service     (use-after-free) via an AF_UNSPEC connect system call     during the DCCP_LISTEN state (bnc#1070771).

  - CVE-2017-15115: The sctp_do_peeloff function in     net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel did not check     whether the intended netns is used in a peel-off action,     which allowed local users to cause a denial of service     (use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via crafted system calls     (bnc#1068671).

  - CVE-2017-11600: net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.12.3, when CONFIG_XFRM_MIGRATE is     enabled, did not ensure that the dir value of     xfrm_userpolicy_id is XFRM_POLICY_MAX or less, which     allowed local users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds access) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via an XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE xfrm Netlink     message (bnc#1050231).

  - CVE-2017-16534: The cdc_parse_cdc_header function in     drivers/usb/core/message.c in the Linux kernel allowed     local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds     read and system crash) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via a crafted USB device (bnc#1066693).

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2019:1170 advisory.

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

    Security Fix(es):

    * A flaw was found in the implementation of the fill buffer, a mechanism used by modern CPUs when a     cache-miss is made on L1 CPU cache. If an attacker can generate a load operation that would create a page     fault, the execution will continue speculatively with incorrect data from the fill buffer while the data     is fetched from higher level caches. This response time can be measured to infer data in the fill buffer.
    (CVE-2018-12130)

    * Modern Intel microprocessors implement hardware-level micro-optimizations to improve the performance of     writing data back to CPU caches. The write operation is split into STA (STore Address) and STD (STore     Data) sub-operations. These sub-operations allow the processor to hand-off address generation logic into     these sub-operations for optimized writes. Both of these sub-operations write to a shared distributed     processor structure called the 'processor store buffer'. As a result, an unprivileged attacker could use     this flaw to read private data resident within the CPU's processor store buffer. (CVE-2018-12126)

    * Microprocessors use a load port subcomponent to perform load operations from memory or IO. During     a load operation, the load port receives data from the memory or IO subsystem and then provides the data     to the CPU registers and operations in the CPUs pipelines. Stale load operations results are stored in     the 'load port' table until overwritten by newer operations. Certain load-port operations triggered by an     attacker can be used to reveal data about previous stale requests leaking data back to the attacker via a     timing side-channel. (CVE-2018-12127)

    * Uncacheable memory on some microprocessors utilizing speculative execution may allow an authenticated     user to potentially enable information disclosure via a side channel with local access. (CVE-2019-11091)

    * kernel: Buffer overflow in firewire driver via crafted incoming packets (CVE-2016-8633)

    * kernel: crypto: privilege escalation in skcipher_recvmsg function (CVE-2017-13215)

    * Kernel: ipsec: xfrm: use-after-free leading to potential privilege escalation (CVE-2017-16939)

    * kernel: Out-of-bounds write via userland offsets in ebt_entry struct in netfilter/ebtables.c     (CVE-2018-1068)

    * kernel: Use-after-free due to race condition in AF_PACKET implementation (CVE-2018-18559)

    * kernel: media: use-after-free in [tuner-xc2028] media driver (CVE-2016-7913)

    * kernel: Out-of-bounds access via an XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE xfrm Netlink message (CVE-2017-11600)

    * kernel: memory leak when merging buffers in SCSI IO vectors (CVE-2017-12190)

    * kernel: Unallocated memory access by malicious USB device via bNumInterfaces overflow (CVE-2017-17558)

    * Kernel: KVM: DoS via write flood to I/O port 0x80 (CVE-2017-1000407)

    * Kernel: FPU state information leakage via lazy FPU restore (CVE-2018-3665)

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 x25_negotiate_facilities function in     net/x25/x25_facilities.c in the Linux kernel before     4.5.5 does not properly initialize a certain data     structure, which allows attackers to obtain sensitive     information from kernel stack memory via an X.25 Call     Request.(CVE-2016-4580i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of seq_file where a local attacker could manipulate     memory in the put() function pointer. This could lead     to memory corruption and possible privileged     escalation.(CVE-2016-7910i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's     netfilter subsystem handled generic protocol tracking.
    As demonstrated in the Stream Control Transmission     Protocol (SCTP) case, a remote attacker could use this     flaw to bypass intended iptables rule restrictions when     the associated connection tracking module was not     loaded on the system.(CVE-2014-8160i1/4%0

  - The get_endpoints function in     drivers/usb/misc/usbtest.c in the Linux kernel through     4.13.11 allows local users to cause a denial of service     (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly     have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB     device.(CVE-2017-16532i1/4%0

  - An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA)     implementation handled user controls. A local,     privileged user could use this flaw to crash the     system.(CVE-2014-4656i1/4%0

  - The sr_do_ioctl function in drivers/scsi/sr_ioctl.c in     the Linux kernel through 4.16.12 allows local users to     cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer overflow)     or possibly have unspecified other impact because sense     buffers have different sizes at the CDROM layer and the     SCSI layer.(CVE-2018-11506i1/4%0

  - A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's SCTP implementation handled Address     Configuration lists when performing Address     Configuration Change (ASCONF). A local attacker could     use this flaw to crash the system via a race condition     triggered by setting certain ASCONF options on a     socket.(CVE-2015-3212i1/4%0

  - A symlink size validation was missing in Linux kernels     built with UDF file system (CONFIG_UDF_FS) support,     allowing the corruption of kernel memory. An attacker     able to mount a corrupted/malicious UDF file system     image could cause the kernel to crash.(CVE-2014-9729i1/4%0

  - The Linux kernel before version 4.11 is vulnerable to a     NULL pointer dereference in     fs/cifs/cifsencrypt.c:setup_ntlmv2_rsp() that allows an     attacker controlling a CIFS server to kernel panic a     client that has this server mounted, because an empty     TargetInfo field in an NTLMSSP setup negotiation     response is mishandled during session     recovery.(CVE-2018-1066i1/4%0

  - drivers/hid/hid-sensor-hub.c in the Human Interface     Device (HID) subsystem in the Linux kernel through     3.11, when CONFIG_HID_SENSOR_HUB is enabled, allows     physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory via a crafted     device.(CVE-2013-2898i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel's F2FS     filesystem code. A buffer overflow in     truncate_inline_inode() in the fs/f2fs/inline.c     function, when umounting a crafted f2fs image, can     occur because a length value may be     negative.(CVE-2018-14615i1/4%0

  - The help function in net/netfilter/nf_nat_irc.c in the     Linux kernel before 3.12.8 allows remote attackers to     obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by     establishing an IRC DCC session in which incorrect     packet data is transmitted during use of the NAT mangle     feature.(CVE-2014-1690i1/4%0

  - It was found that the Linux kernel's keys subsystem did     not correctly garbage collect uninstantiated keyrings.
    A local attacker could use this flaw to crash the     system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on     the system.(CVE-2015-7872i1/4%0

  - The TCP stack in the Linux kernel 3.x does not properly     implement a SYN cookie protection mechanism for the     case of a fast network connection, which allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU     consumption) by sending many TCP SYN packets, as     demonstrated by an attack against the kernel-3.10.0     package in CentOS Linux 7. NOTE: third parties have     been unable to discern any relationship between the     GitHub Engineering finding and the Trigemini.c attack     code.(CVE-2017-5972i1/4%0

  - The xfrm_migrate() function in the     net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c file in the Linux kernel built     with CONFIG_XFRM_MIGRATE does not verify if the dir     parameter is less than XFRM_POLICY_MAX. This allows a     local attacker to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds access) or possibly have unspecified     other impact by sending a XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE netlink     message. This flaw is present in the Linux kernel since     an introduction of XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE in 2.6.21-rc1, up     to 4.13-rc3.(CVE-2017-11600i1/4%0

  - A 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-2016-10200i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's VFS     subsystem handled file system locks. A local,     unprivileged user could use this flaw to trigger a     deadlock in the kernel, causing a denial of service on     the system.(CVE-2014-8559i1/4%0

  - Multiple buffer overflows in     drivers/staging/wlags49_h2/wl_priv.c in the Linux     kernel before 3.12 allow local users to cause a denial     of service or possibly have unspecified other impact by     leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability and providing a     long station-name string, related to the (1)     wvlan_uil_put_info and (2) wvlan_set_station_nickname     functions.(CVE-2013-4514i1/4%0

  - The udl_fb_mmap function in     drivers/gpu/drm/udl/udl_fb.c at the Linux kernel     version 3.4 and up to and including 4.15 has an     integer-overflow vulnerability allowing local users     with access to the udldrmfb driver to obtain full read     and write permissions on kernel physical pages,     resulting in a code execution in kernel     space.(CVE-2018-8781i1/4%0

  - A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel where issuing     certain ioctl() -s commands to the '/dev/ppp' device     file could lead to a NULL pointer dereference. A     privileged user could use this flaw to cause a kernel     crash and denial of service.(CVE-2015-7799i1/4%0

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-002685 advisory.

    net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c in the Linux kernel through 4.12.3, when CONFIG_XFRM_MIGRATE is enabled, does not     ensure that the dir value of xfrm_userpolicy_id is XFRM_POLICY_MAX or less, which allows local users to     cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an     XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE xfrm Netlink message.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

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

Security Fix(es) :

* An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of Load & Store instructions (a commonly used performance optimization). It relies on the presence of a precisely-defined instruction sequence in the privileged code as well as the fact that memory read from address to which a recent memory write has occurred may see an older value and subsequently cause an update into the microprocessor's data cache even for speculatively executed instructions that never actually commit (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to read privileged memory by conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks. (CVE-2018-3639, PowerPC, x86 AMD)

* kernel: Out-of-bounds access via an XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE xfrm Netlink message (CVE-2017-11600)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
