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

  - CVE-2016-5696     Yue Cao, Zhiyun Qian, Zhongjie Wang, Tuan Dao, and     Srikanth V. Krishnamurthy of the University of     California, Riverside; and Lisa M. Marvel of the United     States Army Research Laboratory discovered that Linux's     implementation of the TCP Challenge ACK feature results     in a side channel that can be used to find TCP     connections between specific IP addresses, and to inject     messages into those connections.

  Where a service is made available through TCP, this may allow remote   attackers to impersonate another connected user to the server or to   impersonate the server to another connected user. In case the   service uses a protocol with message authentication (e.g. TLS or   SSH), this vulnerability only allows denial of service (connection   failure). An attack takes tens of seconds, so short-lived TCP   connections are also unlikely to be vulnerable.

  This may be mitigated by increasing the rate limit for TCP Challenge   ACKs so that it is never exceeded: sysctl   net.ipv4.tcp_challenge_ack_limit=1000000000

  - CVE-2016-6136     Pengfei Wang discovered that the audit subsystem has a     'double-fetch' or 'TOCTTOU' bug in its handling of     special characters in the name of an executable. Where     audit logging of execve() is enabled, this allows a     local user to generate misleading log messages.

  - CVE-2016-6480     Pengfei Wang discovered that the aacraid driver for     Adaptec RAID controllers has a 'double-fetch' or     'TOCTTOU' bug in its validation of 'FIB' messages passed     through the ioctl() system call. This has no practical     security impact in current Debian releases.

  - CVE-2016-6828     Marco Grassi reported a 'use-after-free' bug in the TCP     implementation, which can be triggered by local users.
    The security impact is unclear, but might include denial     of service or privilege escalation.

The openSUSE Leap 42.1 kernel was updated to 4.1.31 to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2016-2847: fs/pipe.c in the Linux kernel did not     limit the amount of unread data in pipes, which allowed     local users to cause a denial of service (memory     consumption) by creating many pipes with non-default     sizes (bnc#970948).

  - CVE-2016-3134: The netfilter subsystem in the Linux     kernel did not validate certain offset fields, which     allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial     of service (heap memory corruption) via an     IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE setsockopt call (bnc#971126).

  - CVE-2016-3156: The IPv4 implementation in the Linux     kernel mishandled destruction of device objects, which     allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service     (host OS networking outage) by arranging for a large     number of IP addresses (bnc#971360).

  - CVE-2016-4485: The llc_cmsg_rcv function in     net/llc/af_llc.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize     a certain data structure, which allowed attackers to     obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory by     reading a message (bnc#978821).

  - CVE-2016-4486: The rtnl_fill_link_ifmap function in     net/core/rtnetlink.c in the Linux kernel did not     initialize a certain data structure, which allowed local     users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack     memory by reading a Netlink message (bnc#978822).

  - CVE-2016-4557: The replace_map_fd_with_map_ptr function     in kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel did not     properly maintain an fd data structure, which allowed     local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of     service (use-after-free) via crafted BPF instructions     that reference an incorrect file descriptor     (bnc#979018).

  - CVE-2016-4580: The x25_negotiate_facilities function in     net/x25/x25_facilities.c in the Linux kernel did not     properly initialize a certain data structure, which     allowed attackers to obtain sensitive information from     kernel stack memory via an X.25 Call Request     (bnc#981267).

  - CVE-2016-4805: Use-after-free vulnerability in     drivers/net/ppp/ppp_generic.c in the Linux kernel     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory     corruption and system crash, or spinlock) or possibly     have unspecified other impact by removing a network     namespace, related to the ppp_register_net_channel and     ppp_unregister_channel functions (bnc#980371).

  - CVE-2016-4951: The tipc_nl_publ_dump function in     net/tipc/socket.c in the Linux kernel did not verify     socket existence, which allowed local users to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system     crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a     dumpit operation (bnc#981058).

  - CVE-2015-8787: The nf_nat_redirect_ipv4 function in     net/netfilter/nf_nat_redirect.c in the Linux kernel     allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly     have unspecified other impact by sending certain IPv4     packets to an incompletely configured interface, a     related issue to CVE-2003-1604 (bnc#963931).

  - CVE-2016-4569: The snd_timer_user_params function in     sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel did not     initialize a certain data structure, which allowed local     users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack     memory via crafted use of the ALSA timer interface     (bnc#979213).

  - CVE-2016-4578: sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel     did not initialize certain r1 data structures, which     allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from     kernel stack memory via crafted use of the ALSA timer     interface, related to the (1) snd_timer_user_ccallback     and (2) snd_timer_user_tinterrupt functions     (bnc#979879).

  - CVE-2016-6480: Race condition in the ioctl_send_fib     function in drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c in the Linux     kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds access or system crash) by changing a     certain size value, aka a 'double fetch' vulnerability     (bnc#991608).

  - CVE-2016-4998: The IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE setsockopt     implementation in the netfilter subsystem in the Linux     kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read) or possibly obtain sensitive     information from kernel heap memory by leveraging     in-container root access to provide a crafted offset     value that leads to crossing a ruleset blob boundary     (bnc#986362 986365 990058).

  - CVE-2016-5696: net/ipv4/tcp_input.c in the Linux kernel     did not properly determine the rate of challenge ACK     segments, which made it easier for man-in-the-middle     attackers to hijack TCP sessions via a blind in-window     attack (bnc#989152).

  - CVE-2016-1237: nfsd in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to bypass intended file-permission restrictions by     setting a POSIX ACL, related to nfs2acl.c, nfs3acl.c,     and nfs4acl.c (bnc#986570).

The following non-security bugs were fixed :

  - AF_VSOCK: Shrink the area influenced by prepare_to_wait     (bsc#994520).

CVE-2016-3857

Chiachih Wu reported two bugs in the ARM OABI compatibility layer that can be used by local users for privilege escalation. The OABI compatibility layer is enabled in all kernel flavours for armel and armhf.

CVE-2016-4470

Wade Mealing of the Red Hat Product Security Team reported that in some error cases the KEYS subsystem will dereference an uninitialised pointer. A local user can use the keyctl() system call for denial of service (crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 Advanced Update Support.

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) :

* A flaw was found in the way certain interfaces of the Linux kernel's Infiniband subsystem used write() as bi-directional ioctl() replacement, which could lead to insufficient memory security checks when being invoked using the splice() system call. A local unprivileged user on a system with either Infiniband hardware present or RDMA Userspace Connection Manager Access module explicitly loaded, could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system.
(CVE-2016-4565, Important)

* It was found that the RFC 5961 challenge ACK rate limiting as implemented in the Linux kernel's networking subsystem allowed an off-path attacker to leak certain information about a given connection by creating congestion on the global challenge ACK rate limit counter and then measuring the changes by probing packets. An off-path attacker could use this flaw to either terminate TCP connection and/or inject payload into non-secured TCP connection between two endpoints on the network. (CVE-2016-5696, Important)

Red Hat would like to thank Jann Horn for reporting CVE-2016-4565 and Yue Cao (Cyber Security Group of the CS department of University of California in Riverside) for reporting CVE-2016-5696.

Bug Fix(es) :

* After upgrading the kernel, CPU load average increased compared to the prior kernel version due to the modification of the scheduler. The provided patchset makes the calculation algorithm of this load average roll back to the status of the previous system version thus resulting in relatively lower values in the same system load. (BZ#1343010)

  - CVE-2016-4998: The IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE setsockopt     implementation in the netfilter subsystem in the Linux     kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read) or possibly obtain sensitive     information from kernel heap memory by leveraging     in-container root access to provide a crafted offset     value that leads to crossing a ruleset blob boundary     (bnc#986365).

  - CVE-2015-7513: arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the Linux kernel     did not reset the PIT counter values during state     restoration, which allowed guest OS users to cause a     denial of service (divide-by-zero error and host OS     crash) via a zero value, related to the     kvm_vm_ioctl_set_pit and kvm_vm_ioctl_set_pit2 functions     (bnc#960689).

  - CVE-2013-4312: The Linux kernel allowed local users to     bypass file-descriptor limits and cause a denial of     service (memory consumption) by sending each descriptor     over a UNIX socket before closing it, related to     net/unix/af_unix.c and net/unix/garbage.c (bnc#839104).

  - CVE-2016-4997: The compat IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE setsockopt     implementation in the netfilter subsystem in the Linux     kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a     denial of service (memory corruption) by leveraging     in-container root access to provide a crafted offset     value that triggers an unintended decrement     (bnc#986362).

  - CVE-2016-5829: Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in     the hiddev_ioctl_usage function in     drivers/hid/usbhid/hiddev.c in the Linux kernel allow     local users to cause a denial of service or possibly     have unspecified other impact via a crafted (1)     HIDIOCGUSAGES or (2) HIDIOCSUSAGES ioctl call     (bnc#986572).

  - CVE-2016-2187: The gtco_probe function in     drivers/input/tablet/gtco.c in the Linux kernel allowed     physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of     service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via     a crafted endpoints value in a USB device descriptor     (bnc#971944).

  - CVE-2016-4482: The proc_connectinfo function in     drivers/usb/core/devio.c in the Linux kernel did not     initialize a certain data structure, which allowed local     users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack     memory via a crafted USBDEVFS_CONNECTINFO ioctl call     (bnc#978401).

  - CVE-2016-4565: The InfiniBand (aka IB) stack in the     Linux kernel incorrectly relies on the write system     call, which allowed local users to cause a denial of     service (kernel memory write operation) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a uAPI interface     (bnc#979548).

  - CVE-2016-2053: The asn1_ber_decoder function in     lib/asn1_decoder.c in the Linux kernel allowed attackers     to cause a denial of service (panic) via an ASN.1 BER     file that lacks a public key, leading to mishandling by     the public_key_verify_signature function in     crypto/asymmetric_keys/public_key.c (bnc#963762).

  - CVE-2016-4485: The llc_cmsg_rcv function in     net/llc/af_llc.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize     a certain data structure, which allowed attackers to     obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory by     reading a message (bnc#978821).

  - CVE-2016-4578: sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel     did not initialize certain r1 data structures, which     allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from     kernel stack memory via crafted use of the ALSA timer     interface, related to the (1) snd_timer_user_ccallback     and (2) snd_timer_user_tinterrupt functions     (bnc#979879).

  - CVE-2016-4569: The snd_timer_user_params function in     sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel did not     initialize a certain data structure, which allowed local     users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack     memory via crafted use of the ALSA timer interface     (bnc#979213).

  - CVE-2016-4486: The rtnl_fill_link_ifmap function in     net/core/rtnetlink.c in the Linux kernel did not     initialize a certain data structure, which allowed local     users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack     memory by reading a Netlink message (bnc#978822).

  - CVE-2016-3134: The netfilter subsystem in the Linux     kernel did not validate certain offset fields, which     allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial     of service (heap memory corruption) via an     IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE setsockopt call (bnc#971126).

  - CVE-2016-5696: net/ipv4/tcp_input.c in the Linux kernel     did not properly determine the rate of challenge ACK     segments, which made it easier for man-in-the-middle     attackers to hijack TCP sessions via a blind in-window     attack. (bsc#989152)

  - CVE-2016-6480: Race condition in the ioctl_send_fib     function in drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c in the Linux     kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds access or system crash) by changing a     certain size value, aka a 'double fetch' vulnerability.
