Summary

arch/s390/kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel before 3.15.8 on the s390 platform does not properly restrict address-space control operations in PTRACE_POKEUSR_AREA requests, which allows local users to obtain read and write access to kernel memory locations, and consequently gain privileges, via a crafted application that makes a ptrace system call.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Restful Privilege Elevation
    Rest uses standard HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permissions methods, but these are not necessarily correlated generally with back end programs. Strict interpretation of HTTP get methods means that these HTTP Get services should not be used to delete information on the server, but there is no access control mechanism to back up this logic. This means that unless the services are properly ACL'd and the application's service implementation are following these guidelines then an HTTP request can easily execute a delete or update on the server side. The attacker identifies a HTTP Get URL such as http://victimsite/updateOrder, which calls out to a program to update orders on a database or other resource. The URL is not idempotent so the request can be submitted multiple times by the attacker, additionally, the attacker may be able to exploit the URL published as a Get method that actually performs updates (instead of merely retrieving data). This may result in malicious or inadvertent altering of data on the server.

    descriptionAccording 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

    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

    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)

    descriptionMultiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in the Linux kernel : The try_to_unmap_cluster function in mm/rmap.c in the Linux kernel before 3.14.3 does not properly consider which pages must be locked, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by triggering a memory-usage pattern that requires removal of page-table mappings (CVE-2014-3122). Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the magicmouse_raw_event function in drivers/hid/hid-magicmouse.c in the Magic Mouse HID driver in the Linux kernel through 3.16.3 allow physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted device that provides a large amount of (1) EHCI or (2) XHCI data associated with an event (CVE-2014-3181). Array index error in the logi_dj_raw_event function in drivers/hid/hid-logitech-dj.c in the Linux kernel before 3.16.2 allows physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (invalid kfree) via a crafted device that provides a malformed REPORT_TYPE_NOTIF_DEVICE_UNPAIRED value (CVE-2014-3182). The report_fixup functions in the HID subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.16.2 might allow physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a crafted device that provides a small report descriptor, related to (1) drivers/hid/hid-cherry.c, (2) drivers/hid/hid-kye.c, (3) drivers/hid/hid-lg.c, (4) drivers/hid/hid-monterey.c, (5) drivers/hid/hid-petalynx.c, and (6) drivers/hid/hid-sunplus.c (CVE-2014-3184). Multiple buffer overflows in the command_port_read_callback function in drivers/usb/serial/whiteheat.c in the Whiteheat USB Serial Driver in the Linux kernel before 3.16.2 allow physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) via a crafted device that provides a large amount of (1) EHCI or (2) XHCI data associated with a bulk response (CVE-2014-3185). Buffer overflow in the picolcd_raw_event function in devices/hid/hid-picolcd_core.c in the PicoLCD HID device driver in the Linux kernel through 3.16.3, as used in Android on Nexus 7 devices, allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted device that sends a large report (CVE-2014-3186). arch/s390/kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel before 3.15.8 on the s390 platform does not properly restrict address-space control operations in PTRACE_POKEUSR_AREA requests, which allows local users to obtain read and write access to kernel memory locations, and consequently gain privileges, via a crafted application that makes a ptrace system call (CVE-2014-3534). The kvm_iommu_map_pages function in virt/kvm/iommu.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16.1 miscalculates the number of pages during the handling of a mapping failure, which allows guest OS users to (1) cause a denial of service (host OS memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a large gfn value or (2) cause a denial of service (host OS memory consumption) by triggering a small gfn value that leads to permanently pinned pages (CVE-2014-3601). The sctp_assoc_update function in net/sctp/associola.c in the Linux kernel through 3.15.8, when SCTP authentication is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) by starting to establish an association between two endpoints immediately after an exchange of INIT and INIT ACK chunks to establish an earlier association between these endpoints in the opposite direction (CVE-2014-5077). The do_remount function in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16.1 does not maintain the MNT_LOCK_READONLY bit across a remount of a bind mount, which allows local users to bypass an intended read-only restriction and defeat certain sandbox protection mechanisms via a mount -o remount command within a user namespace (CVE-2014-5206). Stack consumption vulnerability in the parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (uncontrolled recursion, and system crash or reboot) via a crafted iso9660 image with a CL entry referring to a directory entry that has a CL entry (CVE-2014-5471). The parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (unkillable mount process) via a crafted iso9660 image with a self-referential CL entry (CVE-2014-5472). The __udf_read_inode function in fs/udf/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16.3 does not restrict the amount of ICB indirection, which allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop or stack consumption) via a UDF filesystem with a crafted inode (CVE-2014-6410). The do_umount function in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17 does not require the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability for do_remount_sb calls that change the root filesystem to read-only, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (loss of writability) by making certain unshare system calls, clearing the / MNT_LOCKED flag, and making an MNT_FORCE umount system call (CVE-2014-7975). The updated packages provides a solution for these security issues.
