The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:0307 advisory.

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

    Security Fix(es):

    * When creating audit records for parameters to executed children processes, an attacker can convince the     Linux kernel audit subsystem can create corrupt records which may allow an attacker to misrepresent or     evade logging of executing commands. (CVE-2016-6136, Moderate)

    * A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of the SCTP protocol. A remote attacker could     trigger an out-of-bounds read with an offset of up to 64kB potentially causing the system to crash.
    (CVE-2016-9555, Moderate)

    Bug Fix(es):

    * The qlnic driver previously attempted to fetch pending transmission descriptors before all writes were     complete, which lead to firmware hangs. With this update, the qlcnic driver has been fixed to complete all     writes before the hardware fetches any pending transmission descriptors. As a result, the firmware no     longer hangs with the qlcnic driver. (BZ#1403143)

    * Previously, when a NFS share was mounted, the file-system (FS) cache was incorrectly enabled even when     the -o fsc option was not used in the mount command. Consequently, the cachefilesd service stored files     in the NFS share even when not instructed to by the user. With this update, NFS does not use the FS cache     if not instructed by the -o fsc option. As a result, NFS no longer enables caching if the -o fsc     option is not used. (BZ#1399172)

    * Previously, an NFS client and NFS server got into a NFS4 protocol loop involving a WRITE action and a     NFS4ERR_EXPIRED response when the current_fileid counter got to the wraparound point by overflowing the     value of 32 bits. This update fixes the NFS server to handle the current_fileid wraparound. As a result,     the described NFS4 protocol loop no longer occurs. (BZ#1399174)

    * Previously, certain configurations of the Hewlett Packard Smart Array (HPSA) devices caused hardware to     be set offline incorrectly when the HPSA driver was expected to wait for existing I/O operations to     complete. Consequently, a kernel panic occurred. This update prevents the described problem. As a result,     the kernel panic no longer occurs. (BZ#1399175)

    * Previously, memory corruption by copying data into the wrong memory locations sometimes occurred,     because the __copy_tofrom_user() function was returning incorrect values. This update fixes the
    __copy_tofrom_user() function so that it no longer returns larger values than the number of bytes it was     asked to copy. As a result, memory corruption no longer occurs in he described scenario. (BZ#1398185)

    * Previously, guest virtual machines (VMs) on a Hyper-V server cluster got in some cases rebooted during     the graceful node failover test, because the host kept sending heartbeat packets independently of guests     responding to them. This update fixes the bug by properly responding to all the heartbeat messages in the     queue, even if they are pending. As a result, guest VMs no longer get rebooted under the described     circumstances. (BZ#1397739)

    * When the punching hole feature of the fallocate utility was used on an ext4 file system inode with     extent depth of 1, the extent tree of the inode sometimes became corrupted. With this update, the     underlying source code has been fixed, and extent tree corruption no longer occurs in the described     situation. (BZ#1397808)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Security Fix(es) :

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the kernel's     socket recvmmsg subsystem. This may allow remote     attackers to corrupt memory and may allow execution of     arbitrary code. This corruption takes place during the     error handling routines within __sys_recvmmsg()     function. (CVE-2016-7117, Important)

  - 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, Moderate)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of     the SCTP protocol. A remote attacker could trigger an     out-of-bounds read with an offset of up to 64kB     potentially causing the system to crash. (CVE-2016-9555,     Moderate)

Bug Fix(es) :

  - Previously, the performance of Internet Protocol over     InfiniBand (IPoIB) was suboptimal due to a conflict of     IPoIB with the Generic Receive Offload (GRO)     infrastructure. With this update, the data cached by the     IPoIB driver has been moved from a control block into     the IPoIB hard header, thus avoiding the GRO problem and     the corruption of IPoIB address information. As a     result, the performance of IPoIB has been improved.

  - Previously, when a virtual machine (VM) with     PCI-Passthrough interfaces was recreated, a race     condition between the eventfd daemon and the virqfd     daemon occurred. Consequently, the operating system     rebooted. This update fixes the race condition. As a     result, the operating system no longer reboots in the     described situation.

  - Previously, a packet loss occurred when the team driver     in round-robin mode was sending a large number of     packets. This update fixes counting of the packets in     the round-robin runner of the team driver, and the     packet loss no longer occurs in the described situation.

  - Previously, the virtual network devices contained in the     deleted namespace could be deleted in any order. If the     loopback device was not deleted as the last item, other     netns devices, such as vxlan devices, could end up with     dangling references to the loopback device.
    Consequently, deleting a network namespace (netns)     occasionally ended by a kernel oops. With this update,     the underlying source code has been fixed to ensure the     correct order when deleting the virtual network devices     on netns deletion. As a result, the kernel oops no     longer occurs under the described circumstances.

  - Previously, a Kabylake system with a Sunrise Point     Platform Controller Hub (PCH) with a PCI device ID of     0xA149 showed the following warning messages during the     boot :

'Unknown Intel PCH (0xa149) detected.' 'Warning: Intel Kabylake processor with unknown PCH - this hardware has not undergone testing ...'

The messages were shown because this PCH was not properly recognized.
With this update, the problem has been fixed, and the operating system now boots without displaying the warning messages.

  - Previously, the operating system occasionally became     unresponsive after a long run. This was caused by a race     condition between the try_to_wake_up() function and a     woken up task in the core scheduler. With this update,     the race condition has been fixed, and the operating     system no longer locks up in the described scenario.

  - 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-2016-4485: 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).

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

  - arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9     mismanages the #BP and #OF exceptions, which allows     guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS     crash) by declining to handle an exception thrown by an     L2 guest.(CVE-2016-9588)

  - The IP stack in the Linux kernel before 4.6 allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack     consumption and panic) or possibly have unspecified     other impact by triggering use of the GRO path for     packets with tunnel stacking, as demonstrated by     interleaved IPv4 headers and GRE headers, a related     issue to CVE-2016-7039.(CVE-2016-8666)

  - The blk_rq_map_user_iov function in block/blk-map.c in     the Linux kernel before 4.8.14 does not properly     restrict the type of iterator, which allows local users     to read or write to arbitrary kernel memory locations     or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by     leveraging access to a /dev/sg device.(CVE-2016-9576)

  - Race condition in the netlink_dump function in     net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel before     4.6.3 allows local users to cause a denial of service     (double free) or possibly have unspecified other impact     via a crafted application that makes sendmsg system     calls, leading to a free operation associated with a     new dump that started earlier than     anticipated.(CVE-2016-9806)

  - The sg implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.9     does not properly restrict write operations in     situations where the KERNEL_DS option is set, which     allows local users to read or write to arbitrary kernel     memory locations or cause a denial of service     (use-after-free) by leveraging access to a /dev/sg     device, related to block/bsg.c and drivers/scsi/sg.c.
    NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an     incomplete fix for CVE-2016-9576.(CVE-2016-10088)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of the SCTP protocol. A remote attacker could trigger     an out-of-bounds read with an offset of up to 64kB     potentially causing the system to crash.
    (CVE-2016-9555)

  - The arch_pick_mmap_layout function in     arch/x86/mm/mmap.c in the Linux kernel through 4.5.2     does not properly randomize the legacy base address,     which makes it easier for local users to defeat the     intended restrictions on the ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE flag,     and bypass the ASLR protection mechanism for a setuid     or setgid program, by disabling stack-consumption     resource limits.(CVE-2016-3672)

According to the versions of the parallels-server-bm-release / vzkernel / etc packages installed, the Virtuozzo installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - 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 can allow     a remote attacker to force the kernel to enter a     condition in which it can loop indefinitely.

  - It was discovered that a remote attacker could leverage     the generation of IPv6 atomic fragments to trigger the     use of fragmentation in an arbitrary IPv6 flow (in     scenarios in which actual fragmentation of packets is     not needed) and could subsequently perform any type of     a fragmentation-based attack against legacy IPv6 nodes     that do not implement RFC6946.

  - It was found that the blk_rq_map_user_iov() function in     the Linux kernel's block device implementation did not     properly restrict the type of iterator, which could     allow a local attacker to read or write to arbitrary     kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service     (use-after-free) by leveraging write access to a     /dev/sg device.

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of the SCTP protocol. A remote attacker could trigger     an out-of-bounds read with an offset of up to 64kB     potentially causing the system to crash.

  - A flaw was found in the Linux networking subsystem     where a local attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN capabilities     could cause an out-of-bounds memory access by creating     a smaller-than-expected ICMP header and sending to its     destination via sendto().

  - It was found that when file permissions were modified     via chmod and the user modifying them was not in the     owning group or capable of CAP_FSETID, the setgid bit     would be cleared. 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     could allow a local user to gain group privileges via     certain setgid applications.

  - It was found that when the gcc stack protector was     enabled, reading the /proc/keys file could cause a     panic in the Linux kernel due to stack corruption. This     happened because an incorrect buffer size was used to     hold a 64-bit timeout value rendered as weeks.

  - A race condition flaw was found in the ioctl_send_fib()     function in the Linux kernel's aacraid implementation.
    A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial     of service (out-of-bounds access or system crash) by     changing a certain size value.

  - When creating audit records for parameters to executed     children processes, an attacker can convince the Linux     kernel audit subsystem can create corrupt records which     may allow an attacker to misrepresent or evade logging     of executing commands.

  - A flaw was discovered in the way the Linux kernel dealt     with paging structures. When the kernel invalidated a     paging structure that was not in use locally, it could,     in principle, race against another CPU that is     switching to a process that uses the paging structure     in question. A local user could use a thread running     with a stale cached virtual->physical translation to     potentially escalate their privileges if the     translation in question were writable and the physical     page got reused for something critical (for example, a     page table).

  - A flaw was found in the USB-MIDI Linux kernel driver: a     double-free error could be triggered for the 'umidi'     object. An attacker with physical access to the system     could use this flaw to escalate their privileges.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Virtuozzo security advisory.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 4.05, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of     the SCTP protocol. A remote attacker could trigger an     out-of-bounds read with an offset of up to 64kB     potentially causing the system to crash. (CVE-2016-9555)

  - An exploitable memory corruption flaw was found in the     Linux kernel. The append path can be erroneously     switched from UFO to non-UFO in ip_ufo_append_data()     when building an UFO packet with MSG_MORE option. If     unprivileged user namespaces are available, this flaw     can be exploited to gain root privileges.
    (CVE-2017-1000112)

  - A bug in the 32-bit compatibility layer of the ioctl     handling code of the v4l2 video driver in the Linux     kernel has been found. A memory protection mechanism     ensuring that user-provided buffers always point to a     userspace memory were disabled, allowing destination     address to be in a kernel space. This flaw could be     exploited by an attacker to overwrite a kernel memory     from an unprivileged userspace process, leading to     privilege escalation. (CVE-2017-13166)

  - An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern     microprocessor designs have implemented speculative     execution of instructions (a commonly used performance     optimization). There are three primary variants of the     issue which differ in the way the speculative execution     can be exploited. Variant CVE-2017-5753 triggers the     speculative execution by performing a bounds-check     bypass. It relies on the presence of a precisely-defined     instruction sequence in the privileged code as well as     the fact that memory accesses may cause allocation 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 cross the syscall boundary and read     privileged memory by conducting targeted cache side-     channel attacks. (CVE-2017-5753)

  - An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern     microprocessor designs have implemented speculative     execution of instructions (a commonly used performance     optimization). There are three primary variants of the     issue which differ in the way the speculative execution     can be exploited. Variant CVE-2017-5754 relies on the     fact that, on impacted microprocessors, during     speculative execution of instruction permission faults,     exception generation triggered by a faulting access is     suppressed until the retirement of the whole instruction     block. In a combination with the fact that memory     accesses may populate the cache even when the block is     being dropped and never committed (executed), an     unprivileged local attacker could use this flaw to read     privileged (kernel space) memory by conducting targeted     cache side-channel attacks. Note: CVE-2017-5754 affects     Intel x86-64 microprocessors. AMD x86-64 microprocessors     are not affected by this issue. (CVE-2017-5754)

  - 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 a system crash     or a privilege escalation. (CVE-2017-7308)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in DCCP socket     code affecting the Linux kernel since 2.6.16. This     vulnerability could allow an attacker to their escalate     privileges. (CVE-2017-8824)

  - The do_get_mempolicy() function in mm/mempolicy.c in the     Linux kernel allows local users to hit a use-after-free     bug via crafted system calls and thus cause a denial of     service (DoS) or possibly have unspecified other impact.
    Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation     cannot be fully ruled out. (CVE-2018-10675)

  - A flaw was found in Linux kernel's KVM virtualization     subsystem. The VMX code does not restore the GDT.LIMIT     to the previous host value, but instead sets it to 64KB.
    With a corrupted GDT limit a host's userspace code has     an ability to place malicious entries in the GDT,     particularly to the per-cpu variables. An attacker can     use this to escalate their privileges. (CVE-2018-10901)

  - An integer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's     create_elf_tables() function. An unprivileged local user     with access to SUID (or otherwise privileged) binary     could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the     system. (CVE-2018-14634)

  - 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)

  - An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern     microprocessor designs have implemented speculative     execution of instructions past bounds check. The flaw     relies on the presence of a precisely-defined     instruction sequence in the privileged code and the fact     that memory writes occur to an address which depends on     the untrusted value. Such writes 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 influence speculative execution and/or     read privileged memory by conducting targeted cache     side-channel attacks. (CVE-2018-3693)

  - A flaw named SegmentSmack was found in the way the Linux     kernel handled specially crafted TCP packets. A remote     attacker could use this flaw to trigger time and     calculation expensive calls to tcp_collapse_ofo_queue()     and tcp_prune_ofo_queue() functions by sending specially     modified packets within ongoing TCP sessions which could     lead to a CPU saturation and hence a denial of service     on the system. Maintaining the denial of service     condition requires continuous two-way TCP sessions to a     reachable open port, thus the attacks cannot be     performed using spoofed IP addresses. (CVE-2018-5390)

  - 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)

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

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP4 kernel was updated to 3.0.101-94 to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-5551: tmpfs: clear S_ISGID when setting posix     ACLs (bsc#1021258).

  - CVE-2016-10088: The sg implementation in the Linux     kernel did not properly restrict write operations in     situations where the KERNEL_DS option is set, which     allowed local users to read or write to arbitrary kernel     memory locations or cause a denial of service     (use-after-free) by leveraging access to a /dev/sg     device NOTE: this vulnerability existed because of an     incomplete fix for CVE-2016-9576 (bnc#1017710).

  - CVE-2016-5696: TCP, when using a large Window Size, made     it easier for remote attackers to guess sequence numbers     and cause a denial of service (connection loss) to     persistent TCP connections by repeatedly injecting a TCP     RST packet, especially in protocols that use long-lived     connections, such as BGP (bnc#989152).

  - CVE-2015-1350: The VFS subsystem in the Linux kernel 3.x     provided an incomplete set of requirements for setattr     operations that underspecified removing extended     privilege attributes, which allowed local users to cause     a denial of service (capability stripping) via a failed     invocation of a system call, as demonstrated by using     chown to remove a capability from the ping or Wireshark     dumpcap program (bnc#914939).

  - CVE-2016-8632: The tipc_msg_build function in     net/tipc/msg.c in the Linux kernel did not validate the     relationship between the minimum fragment length and the     maximum packet size, which allowed local users to gain     privileges or cause a denial of service (heap-based     buffer overflow) by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN     capability (bnc#1008831).

  - CVE-2016-8399: An elevation of privilege vulnerability     in the kernel networking subsystem could enable a local     malicious application to execute arbitrary code within     the context of the kernel. This issue is rated as     Moderate because it first requires compromising a     privileged process and current compiler optimizations     restrict access to the vulnerable code. (bnc#1014746).

  - CVE-2016-9793: The sock_setsockopt function in     net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel mishandled negative     values of sk_sndbuf and sk_rcvbuf, which allowed local     users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption     and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other     impact by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for a     crafted setsockopt system call with the (1)     SO_SNDBUFFORCE or (2) SO_RCVBUFFORCE option     (bnc#1013531).

  - CVE-2012-6704: The sock_setsockopt function in     net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel mishandled negative     values of sk_sndbuf and sk_rcvbuf, which allowed local     users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption     and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other     impact by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for a     crafted setsockopt system call with the (1) SO_SNDBUF or     (2) SO_RCVBUF option (bnc#1013542).

  - CVE-2016-9756: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux     kernel did not properly initialize Code Segment (CS) in     certain error cases, which allowed local users to obtain     sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a     crafted application (bnc#1013038).

  - CVE-2016-9685: Multiple memory leaks in error paths in     fs/xfs/xfs_attr_list.c in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption)     via crafted XFS filesystem operations (bnc#1012832).

  - CVE-2015-8962: Double free vulnerability in the     sg_common_write function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the     Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or     cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system     crash) by detaching a device during an SG_IO ioctl call     (bnc#1010501).

  - CVE-2016-9555: The sctp_sf_ootb function in     net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c in the Linux kernel lacked     chunk-length checking for the first chunk, which allowed     remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds slab access) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via crafted SCTP data (bnc#1011685).

  - CVE-2016-7910: Use-after-free vulnerability in the     disk_seqf_stop function in block/genhd.c in the Linux     kernel allowed local users to gain privileges by     leveraging the execution of a certain stop operation     even if the corresponding start operation had failed     (bnc#1010716).

  - CVE-2016-7911: Race condition in the get_task_ioprio     function in block/ioprio.c in the Linux kernel allowed     local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of     service (use-after-free) via a crafted ioprio_get system     call (bnc#1010711).

  - CVE-2013-6368: The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel     allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial     of service (system crash) via a VAPIC synchronization     operation involving a page-end address (bnc#853052).

  - CVE-2015-8964: The tty_set_termios_ldisc function in     drivers/tty/tty_ldisc.c in the Linux kernel allowed     local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel     memory by reading a tty data structure (bnc#1010507).

  - CVE-2016-7916: Race condition in the environ_read     function in fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel allowed     local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel     memory by reading a /proc/*/environ file during a     process-setup time interval in which     environment-variable copying is incomplete     (bnc#1010467).

  - CVE-2016-8646: The hash_accept function in     crypto/algif_hash.c in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) by attempting     to trigger use of in-kernel hash algorithms for a socket     that has received zero bytes of data (bnc#1010150).

  - CVE-2016-8633: drivers/firewire/net.c in the Linux     kernel, in certain unusual hardware configurations,     allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via     crafted fragmented packets (bnc#1008833).

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