An update of the linux package has been released.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has kernel-rt packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Integer overflow in the aio_setup_single_vector function     in fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel 4.0 allows local users     to cause a denial of service or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a large AIO iovec. NOTE:
    this vulnerability exists because of a CVE-2012-6701     regression. (CVE-2015-8830)

  - A weakness was found in the Linux ASLR implementation.
    Any user able to running 32-bit applications in a x86     machine can disable ASLR by setting the RLIMIT_STACK     resource to unlimited. (CVE-2016-3672)

  - The xc2028_set_config function in     drivers/media/tuners/tuner-xc2028.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.6 allows local users to gain privileges or     cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via vectors     involving omission of the firmware name from a certain     data structure. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege     escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we     believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2016-7913)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in the snd_pcm_info()     function in the ALSA subsystem in the Linux kernel     allows attackers to induce a kernel memory corruption     and possibly crash or lock up a system. Due to the     nature of the flaw, a privilege escalation cannot be     fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely.
    (CVE-2017-0861)

  - A reachable assertion failure flaw was found in the     Linux kernel built with KVM virtualisation(CONFIG_KVM)     support with Virtual Function I/O feature (CONFIG_VFIO)     enabled. This failure could occur if a malicious guest     device sent a virtual interrupt (guest IRQ) with a     larger (>1024) index value. (CVE-2017-1000252)

  - Linux kernel Virtualization Module (CONFIG_KVM) for the     Intel processor family (CONFIG_KVM_INTEL) is vulnerable     to a DoS issue. It could occur if a guest was to flood     the I/O port 0x80 with write requests. A guest user     could use this flaw to crash the host kernel resulting     in DoS. (CVE-2017-1000407)

  - A flaw was found in the processing of incoming L2CAP     bluetooth commands. Uninitialized stack variables can be     sent to an attacker leaking data in kernel address     space. (CVE-2017-1000410)

  - A race condition was found in the Linux kernel before     version 4.11-rc1 in 'fs/timerfd.c' file which allows a     local user to cause a kernel list corruption or use-     after-free via simultaneous operations with a file     descriptor which leverage improper 'might_cancel'     queuing. An unprivileged local user could use this flaw     to cause a denial of service of the system. Due to the     nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully     ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely.
    (CVE-2017-10661)

  - Linux kernel built with the KVM visualization support     (CONFIG_KVM), with nested visualization (nVMX) feature     enabled (nested=1), is vulnerable to a crash due to     disabled external interrupts. As L2 guest could access     (r/w) hardware CR8 register of the host(L0). In a nested     visualization setup, L2 guest user could use this flaw     to potentially crash the host(L0) resulting in DoS.
    (CVE-2017-12154)

  - It was found that in the Linux kernel through v4.14-rc5,     bio_map_user_iov() and bio_unmap_user() in 'block/bio.c'     do unbalanced pages refcounting if IO vector has small     consecutive buffers belonging to the same page.
    bio_add_pc_page() merges them into one, but the page     reference is never dropped, causing a memory leak and     possible system lockup due to out-of-memory condition.
    (CVE-2017-12190)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of     valid_master_desc() in which a memory buffer would be     compared to a userspace value with an incorrect size of     comparison. By bruteforcing the comparison, an attacker     could determine what was in memory after the description     and possibly obtain sensitive information from kernel     memory. (CVE-2017-13305)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in a network     namespaces code affecting the Linux kernel since     v4.0-rc1 through v4.15-rc5. The function     get_net_ns_by_id() does not check for the net::count     value after it has found a peer network in netns_ids idr     which could lead to double free and memory corruption.
    This vulnerability could allow an unprivileged local     user to induce kernel memory corruption on the system,     leading to a crash. Due to the nature of the flaw,     privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although     it is thought to be unlikely. (CVE-2017-15129)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found when issuing an     ioctl to a sound device. This could allow a user to     exploit a race condition and create memory corruption or     possibly privilege escalation. (CVE-2017-15265)

  - A flaw was found in the implementation of associative     arrays where the add_key systemcall and KEYCTL_UPDATE     operations allowed for a NULL payload with a nonzero     length. When accessing the payload within this length     parameters value, an unprivileged user could trivially     cause a NULL pointer dereference (kernel oops).
    (CVE-2017-15274)

  - The net/netfilter/nfnetlink_cthelper.c function in the     Linux kernel through 4.14.4 does not require the     CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for new, get, and del     operations. This allows local users to bypass intended     access restrictions because the nfnl_cthelper_list data     structure is shared across all net namespaces.
    (CVE-2017-17448)

  - The __netlink_deliver_tap_skb function in     net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel, through     4.14.4, does not restrict observations of Netlink     messages to a single net namespace, when CONFIG_NLMON is     enabled. This allows 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. (CVE-2017-17449)

  - The usb_destroy_configuration() function, in     'drivers/usb/core/config.c' in the USB core subsystem,     in the Linux kernel through 4.14.5 does not consider the     maximum number of configurations and interfaces before     attempting to release resources. This allows local users     to cause a denial of service, due to out-of-bounds write     access, or possibly have unspecified other impact via a     crafted USB device. Due to the nature of the flaw,     privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although     we believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2017-17558)

  - The Salsa20 encryption algorithm in the Linux kernel,     before 4.14.8, does not correctly handle zero-length     inputs. This allows a local attacker the ability to use     the AF_ALG-based skcipher interface to cause a denial of     service (uninitialized-memory free and kernel crash) or     have an unspecified other impact by executing a crafted     sequence of system calls that use the blkcipher_walk     API. Both the generic implementation     (crypto/salsa20_generic.c) and x86 implementation     (arch/x86/crypto/salsa20_glue.c) of Salsa20 are     vulnerable. (CVE-2017-17805)

  - The tcpmss_mangle_packet function in     net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c in the Linux kernel before     4.11, and 4.9.x before 4.9.36, allows remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and memory     corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by     leveraging the presence of xt_TCPMSS in an iptables     action. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege     escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we     believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2017-18017)

  - The Linux kernel, before version 4.14.3, is vulnerable     to a denial of service in     drivers/md/dm.c:dm_get_from_kobject() which can be     caused by local users leveraging a race condition with
    __dm_destroy() during creation and removal of DM     devices. Only privileged local users (with CAP_SYS_ADMIN     capability) can directly perform the ioctl operations     for dm device creation and removal and this would     typically be outside the direct control of the     unprivileged attacker. (CVE-2017-18203)

  - The madvise_willneed function in the Linux kernel allows     local users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop)     by triggering use of MADVISE_WILLNEED for a DAX mapping.
    (CVE-2017-18208)

  - A flaw was found where the kernel truncated the value     used to indicate the size of a buffer which it would     later become zero using an untruncated value. This can     corrupt memory outside of the original allocation.
    (CVE-2017-9725)

  - In the Linux kernel versions 4.12, 3.10, 2.6, and     possibly earlier, a race condition vulnerability exists     in the sound system allowing for a potential deadlock     and memory corruption due to use-after-free condition     and thus denial of service. Due to the nature of the     flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out,     although we believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2018-1000004)

  - Improper validation in the bnx2x network card driver of     the Linux kernel version 4.15 can allow for denial of     service (DoS) attacks via a packet with a gso_size     larger than ~9700 bytes. Untrusted guest VMs can exploit     this vulnerability in the host machine, causing a crash     in the network card. (CVE-2018-1000026)

  - By mmap()ing a FUSE-backed file onto a process's memory     containing command line arguments (or environment     strings), an attacker can cause utilities from psutils     or procps (such as ps, w) or any other program which     makes a read() call to the /proc//cmdline (or     /proc//environ) files to block indefinitely (denial     of service) or for some controlled time (as a     synchronization primitive for other attacks).
    (CVE-2018-1120)

  - A null pointer dereference in dccp_write_xmit() function     in net/dccp/output.c in the Linux kernel allows a local     user to cause a denial of service by a number of certain     crafted system calls. (CVE-2018-1130)

  - An issue was discovered in the proc_pid_stack function     in fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel. An attacker with     a local account can trick the stack unwinder code to     leak stack contents to userspace. The fix allows only     root to inspect the kernel stack of an arbitrary task.
    (CVE-2018-17972)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel with files on tmpfs     and hugetlbfs. An attacker is able to bypass file     permissions on filesystems mounted with tmpfs/hugetlbs     to modify a file and possibly disrupt normal system     behavior. At this time there is an understanding there     is no crash or privilege escalation but the impact of     modifications on these filesystems of files in     production systems may have adverse affects.
    (CVE-2018-18397)

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.17, a local attacker able     to set attributes on an xfs filesystem could make this     filesystem non-operational until the next mount by     triggering an unchecked error condition during an xfs     attribute change, because xfs_attr_shortform_addname in     fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr.c mishandles ATTR_REPLACE     operations with conversion of an attr from short to long     form. (CVE-2018-18690)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handling of     loopback devices. An attacker, who has permissions to     setup loopback disks, may create a denial of service or     other unspecified actions. (CVE-2018-5344)

  - The acpi_smbus_hc_add function in drivers/acpi/sbshc.c     in the Linux kernel, through 4.14.15, allows local users     to obtain sensitive address information by reading dmesg     data from an SBS HC printk call. (CVE-2018-5750)

  - An error in the _sctp_make_chunk() function     (net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c) when handling SCTP, packet     length can be exploited by a malicious local user to     cause a kernel crash and a DoS. (CVE-2018-5803)

  - In the function wmi_set_ie() in the Linux kernel the     length validation code does not handle unsigned integer     overflow properly. As a result, a large value of the     ie_len argument can cause a buffer overflow and thus a     memory corruption leading to a system crash or other or     unspecified impact. Due to the nature of the flaw,     privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although     we believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2018-5848)

  - ALSA sequencer core initializes the event pool on demand     by invoking snd_seq_pool_init() when the first write     happens and the pool is empty. A user can reset the pool     size manually via ioctl concurrently, and this may lead     to UAF or out-of-bound access. (CVE-2018-7566)

  - A possible memory corruption due to a type confusion was     found in the Linux kernel in the sk_clone_lock()     function in the net/core/sock.c. The possibility of     local escalation of privileges cannot be fully ruled out     for a local unprivileged attacker. (CVE-2018-9568)

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

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

CVE-2018-14625

A use-after-free bug was found in the vhost driver for the Virtual Socket protocol. If this driver is used to communicate with a malicious virtual machine guest, the guest could read sensitive information from the host kernel.

CVE-2018-16884

A flaw was found in the NFS 4.1 client implementation. Mounting NFS shares in multiple network namespaces at the same time could lead to a user-after-free. Local users might be able to use this for denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

This can be mitigated by disabling unprivileged users from creating user namespaces, which is the default in Debian.

CVE-2018-19824

Hui Peng and Mathias Payer discovered a use-after-free bug in the USB audio driver. A physically present attacker able to attach a specially designed USB device could use this for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-19985

Hui Peng and Mathias Payer discovered a missing bounds check in the hso USB serial driver. A physically present user able to attach a specially designed USB device could use this to read sensitive information from the kernel or to cause a denial of service (crash).

CVE-2018-20169

Hui Peng and Mathias Payer discovered missing bounds checks in the USB core. A physically present attacker able to attach a specially designed USB device could use this to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-1000026

It was discovered that Linux could forward aggregated network packets with a segmentation size too large for the output device. In the specific case of Broadcom NetXtremeII 10Gb adapters, this would result in a denial of service (firmware crash). This update adds a mitigation to the bnx2x driver for this hardware.

CVE-2019-3459, CVE-2019-3460

Shlomi Oberman, Yuli Shapiro and Karamba Security Ltd. research team discovered missing range checks in the Bluetooth L2CAP implementation.
If Bluetooth is enabled, a nearby attacker could use these to read sensitive information from the kernel.

CVE-2019-3701

Muyu Yu and Marcus Meissner reported that the CAN gateway implementation allowed the frame length to be modified, typically resulting in out-of-bounds memory-mapped I/O writes. On a system with CAN devices present, a local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability in the initial net namespace could use this to cause a crash (oops) or other hardware-dependent impact.

CVE-2019-3819

A potential infinite loop was discovered in the HID debugfs interface exposed under /sys/kernel/debug/hid. A user with access to these files could use this for denial of service.

This interface is only accessible to root by default, which fully mitigates the issue.

CVE-2019-6974

Jann Horn reported a use-after-free bug in KVM. A local user with access to /dev/kvm could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2019-7221

Jim Mattson and Felix Wilhelm reported a user-after-free bug in KVM's nested VMX implementation. On systems with Intel CPUs, a local user with access to /dev/kvm could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

Nested VMX is disabled by default, which fully mitigates the issue.

CVE-2019-7222

Felix Wilhelm reported an information leak in KVM for x86. A local user with access to /dev/kvm could use this to read sensitive information from the kernel.

CVE-2019-8980

A bug was discovered in the kernel_read_file() function used to load firmware files. In certain error conditions it could leak memory, which might lead to a denial of service. This is probbaly not exploitable in a Debian system.

CVE-2019-9213

Jann Horn reported that privileged tasks could cause stack segments, including those in other processes, to grow downward to address 0. On systems lacking SMAP (x86) or PAN (ARM), this exacerbated other vulnerabilities: a NULL pointer dereference could be exploited for privilege escalation rather than only for denial of service.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 4.9.168-1~deb8u1. This version also includes fixes for Debian bugs #904385, #918103, and #922306; and other fixes included in upstream stable updates.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux-4.9 and linux-latest-4.9 packages. You will need to use 'apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs' or 'apt upgrade' as the binary package names have changed.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 kernel was updated to 4.4.120 to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-13166: An elevation of privilege vulnerability     in the v4l2 video driver was fixed. (bnc#1072865).

  - CVE-2017-15951: The KEYS subsystem did not correctly     synchronize the actions of updating versus finding a key     in the 'negative' state to avoid a race condition, which     allowed local users to cause a denial of service or     possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted     system calls (bnc#1062840 bnc#1065615).

  - CVE-2017-16644: The hdpvr_probe function in     drivers/media/usb/hdpvr/hdpvr-core.c allowed local users     to cause a denial of service (improper error handling     and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other     impact via a crafted USB device (bnc#1067118).

  - CVE-2017-16912: The 'get_pipe()' function     (drivers/usb/usbip/stub_rx.c) allowed attackers to cause     a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a specially     crafted USB over IP packet (bnc#1078673).

  - CVE-2017-16913: The 'stub_recv_cmd_submit()' function     (drivers/usb/usbip/stub_rx.c) when handling CMD_SUBMIT     packets allowed attackers to cause a denial of service     (arbitrary memory allocation) via a specially crafted     USB over IP packet (bnc#1078672).

  - CVE-2017-17975: Use-after-free in the usbtv_probe     function in drivers/media/usb/usbtv/usbtv-core.c allowed     attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or     possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering     failure of audio registration, because a kfree of the     usbtv data structure occurs during a usbtv_video_free     call, but the usbtv_video_fail label's code attempts to     both access and free this data structure (bnc#1074426).

  - CVE-2017-18208: The madvise_willneed function in     mm/madvise.c allowed local users to cause a denial of     service (infinite loop) by triggering use of     MADVISE_WILLNEED for a DAX mapping (bnc#1083494).

  - CVE-2018-8087: Memory leak in the hwsim_new_radio_nl     function in drivers/net/wireless/mac80211_hwsim.c     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory     consumption) by triggering an out-of-array error case     (bnc#1085053).

  - CVE-2018-1000026: A insufficient input validation     vulnerability in the bnx2x network card driver could     result in DoS: Network card firmware assertion takes     card off-line. This attack appear to be exploitable via     An attacker on a must pass a very large, specially     crafted packet to the bnx2x card. This can be done from     an untrusted guest VM. (bnc#1079384).

  - CVE-2018-1068: Insufficient user provided offset     checking in the ebtables compat code allowed local     attackers to overwrite kernel memory and potentially     execute code. (bsc#1085107)

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