NOTE: the author of the LZO algorithms says: The Linux kernel is not affected; media hype. (bnc#883948). (CVE-2014-4608) - kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 did not properly handle private syscall numbers during use of the ftrace subsystem, which allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference) via a crafted application.

(CVE-2014-7841) - The ieee80211_fragment function in net/mac80211/tx.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13.5 did not properly maintain a certain tail pointer, which allowed remote attackers to obtain sensitive cleartext information by reading packets.

A privileged guest user can exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) on the host. - CVE-2014-3611 Lars Bull of Google reported a race condition in the PIT emulation code in KVM. A local guest user with access to PIT i/o ports could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (crash) on the host. - CVE-2014-3645/ CVE-2014-3646 The Advanced Threat Research team at Intel Security discovered that the KVM subsystem did not handle the VM exits gracefully for the invept (Invalidate Translations Derived from EPT) and invvpid (Invalidate Translations Based on VPID) instructions. On hosts with an Intel processor and invept/invppid VM exit support, an unprivileged guest user could use these instructions to crash the guest. - CVE-2014-3647 Nadav Amit reported that KVM mishandles noncanonical addresses when emulating instructions that change rip, potentially causing a failed VM-entry. A guest user with access to I/O or the MMIO can use this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) of the guest. - CVE-2014-3673 Liu Wei of Red Hat discovered a flaw in net/core/skbuff.c leading to a kernel panic when receiving malformed ASCONF chunks. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system. - CVE-2014-3687 A flaw in the sctp stack was discovered leading to a kernel panic when receiving duplicate ASCONF chunks. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system. - CVE-2014-3688 It was found that the sctp stack is prone to a remotely triggerable memory pressure issue caused by excessive queueing. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause denial-of-service conditions on the system. - CVE-2014-3690 Andy Lutomirski discovered that incorrect register handling in KVM may lead to denial of service. - CVE-2014-7207 Several Debian developers reported an issue in the IPv6 networking subsystem. A local user with access to tun or macvtap devices, or a virtual machine connected to such a device, can cause a denial of service (system crash). This update includes a bug fix related to CVE-2014-7207 that disables UFO (UDP Fragmentation Offload) in the macvtap, tun, and virtio_net drivers. This will cause migration of a running VM from a host running an earlier kernel version to a host running this kernel version to fail, if the VM has been assigned a virtio network device. In order to migrate such a VM, it must be shut down first. last seen 2020-03-17 modified 2014-11-03 plugin id 78784 published 2014-11-03 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2014-2020 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/78784 title Debian DSA-3060-1 : linux - security update NASL family Oracle Linux Local Security Checks NASL id ORACLELINUX_ELSA-2014-3084.NASL description Description of changes: kernel-uek [3.8.13-44.1.4.el7uek] - USB: whiteheat: Added bounds checking for bulk command response (James Forshaw) [Orabug: 19849334] {CVE-2014-3185} - HID: fix a couple of off-by-ones (Jiri Kosina) [Orabug: 19849317] {CVE-2014-3181} - kvm: vmx: handle invvpid vm exit gracefully (Petr Matousek) [Orabug: 19906300] {CVE-2014-3646} - nEPT: Nested INVEPT (Nadav Har last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 78756 published 2014-10-31 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2014-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/78756 title Oracle Linux 6 / 7 : Unbreakable Enterprise kernel (ELSA-2014-3084) NASL family Mandriva Local Security Checks NASL id MANDRIVA_MDVSA-2014-230.NASL description Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in the Linux kernel : The WRMSR processing functionality in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 does not properly handle the writing of a non-canonical address to a model-specific register, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) by leveraging guest OS privileges, related to the wrmsr_interception function in arch/x86/kvm/svm.c and the handle_wrmsr function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c (CVE-2014-3610). Race condition in the __kvm_migrate_pit_timer function in arch/x86/kvm/i8254.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) by leveraging incorrect PIT emulation (CVE-2014-3611). arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.12 does not have an exit handler for the INVEPT instruction, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) via a crafted application (CVE-2014-3645). arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 does not have an exit handler for the INVVPID instruction, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) via a crafted application (CVE-2014-3646). arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 does not properly perform RIP changes, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) via a crafted application (CVE-2014-3647). The SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a malformed ASCONF chunk, related to net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c and net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c (CVE-2014-3673). The sctp_assoc_lookup_asconf_ack function in net/sctp/associola.c in the SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via duplicate ASCONF chunks that trigger an incorrect uncork within the side-effect interpreter (CVE-2014-3687). arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.17.2 on Intel processors does not ensure that the value in the CR4 control register remains the same after a VM entry, which allows host OS users to kill arbitrary processes or cause a denial of service (system disruption) by leveraging /dev/kvm access, as demonstrated by PR_SET_TSC prctl calls within a modified copy of QEMU (CVE-2014-3690). kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 does not properly handle private syscall numbers during use of the perf subsystem, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and OOPS) or bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application (CVE-2014-7825). kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 does not properly handle private syscall numbers during use of the ftrace subsystem, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference) via a crafted application (CVE-2014-7826). The pivot_root implementation in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17 does not properly interact with certain locations of a chroot directory, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (mount-tree loop) via . (dot) values in both arguments to the pivot_root system call (CVE-2014-7970). The kvm_iommu_map_pages function in virt/kvm/iommu.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 miscalculates the number of pages during the handling of a mapping failure, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS page unpinning) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging guest OS privileges. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2014-3601 (CVE-2014-8369).
