HIGH Summary
Race condition in the ext4_file_write_iter function in fs/ext4/file.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17 allows local users to cause a denial of service (file unavailability) via a combination of a write action and an F_SETFL fcntl operation for the O_DIRECT flag.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Leveraging Race Conditions This attack targets a race condition occurring when multiple processes access and manipulate the same resource concurrently and the outcome of the execution depends on the particular order in which the access takes place. The attacker can leverage a race condition by "running the race", modifying the resource and modifying the normal execution flow. For instance a race condition can occur while accessing a file, the attacker can trick the system by replacing the original file with his version and cause the system to read the malicious file.
- Leveraging Time-of-Check and Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) Race Conditions This attack targets a race condition occurring between the time of check (state) for a resource and the time of use of a resource. The typical example is the file access. The attacker can leverage a file access race condition by "running the race", meaning that he would modify the resource between the first time the target program accesses the file and the time the target program uses the file. During that period of time, the attacker could do something such as replace the file and cause an escalation of privilege.

NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id SUSE_SU-2015-1071-1.NASL description The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 kernel was updated to version 3.12.43 to receive various security and bugfixes. Following security bugs were fixed : - CVE-2014-3647: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 did not properly perform RIP changes, which allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) via a crafted application (bsc#899192). - CVE-2014-8086: Race condition in the ext4_file_write_iter function in fs/ext4/file.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17 allowed local users to cause a denial of service (file unavailability) via a combination of a write action and an F_SETFL fcntl operation for the O_DIRECT flag (bsc#900881). - CVE-2014-8159: The InfiniBand (IB) implementation did not properly restrict use of User Verbs for registration of memory regions, which allowed local users to access arbitrary physical memory locations, and consequently cause a denial of service (system crash) or gain privileges, by leveraging permissions on a uverbs device under /dev/infiniband/ (bsc#914742). - CVE-2015-1465: The IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.18.8 did not properly consider the length of the Read-Copy Update (RCU) grace period for redirecting lookups in the absence of caching, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or system crash) via a flood of packets (bsc#916225). - CVE-2015-2041: net/llc/sysctl_net_llc.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19 used an incorrect data type in a sysctl table, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory or possibly have unspecified other impact by accessing a sysctl entry (bsc#919007). - CVE-2015-2042: net/rds/sysctl.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19 used an incorrect data type in a sysctl table, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory or possibly have unspecified other impact by accessing a sysctl entry (bsc#919018). - CVE-2015-2666: Fixed a flaw that allowed crafted microcode to overflow the kernel stack (bsc#922944). - CVE-2015-2830: Fixed int80 fork from 64-bit tasks mishandling (bsc#926240). - CVE-2015-2922: Fixed possible denial of service (DoS) attack against IPv6 network stacks due to improper handling of Router Advertisements (bsc#922583). - CVE-2015-3331: Fixed buffer overruns in RFC4106 implementation using AESNI (bsc#927257). - CVE-2015-3332: Fixed TCP Fast Open local DoS (bsc#928135). - CVE-2015-3339: Fixed race condition flaw between the chown() and execve() system calls which could have lead to local privilege escalation (bsc#928130). - CVE-2015-3636: Fixed use-after-free in ping sockets which could have lead to local privilege escalation (bsc#929525). The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details. Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 84227 published 2015-06-17 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2015-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/84227 title SUSE SLED12 / SLES12 Security Update : kernel (SUSE-SU-2015:1071-1) code # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from SUSE update advisory SUSE-SU-2015:1071-1. # The text itself is copyright (C) SUSE. # include("compat.inc"); if (description) { script_id(84227); script_version("2.12"); script_cvs_date("Date: 2019/09/11 11:22:12"); script_cve_id("CVE-2014-3647", "CVE-2014-8086", "CVE-2014-8159", "CVE-2015-1465", "CVE-2015-2041", "CVE-2015-2042", "CVE-2015-2666", "CVE-2015-2830", "CVE-2015-2922", "CVE-2015-3331", "CVE-2015-3332", "CVE-2015-3339", "CVE-2015-3636"); script_bugtraq_id(70376, 70748, 72435, 72729, 72730, 73060, 73183, 73699, 74232, 74235, 74243, 74315, 74450); script_name(english:"SUSE SLED12 / SLES12 Security Update : kernel (SUSE-SU-2015:1071-1)"); script_summary(english:"Checks rpm output for the updated packages."); script_set_attribute( attribute:"synopsis", value:"The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates." ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"description", value: "The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 kernel was updated to version 3.12.43 to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following vulnerabilities have been fixed : CVE-2015-3636: A missing sk_nulls_node_init() in ping_unhash() inside the ipv4 stack can cause crashes if a disconnect is followed by another connect() attempt. (bnc#929525) CVE-2015-3339: Race condition in the prepare_binprm function in fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19.6 allows local users to gain privileges by executing a setuid program at a time instant when a chown to root is in progress, and the ownership is changed but the setuid bit is not yet stripped. (bnc#928130) CVE-2015-3331: The __driver_rfc4106_decrypt function in arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel_glue.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19.3 does not properly determine the memory locations used for encrypted data, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code by triggering a crypto API call, as demonstrated by use of a libkcapi test program with an AF_ALG(aead) socket. (bnc#927257) CVE-2015-2922: The ndisc_router_discovery function in net/ipv6/ndisc.c in the Neighbor Discovery (ND) protocol implementation in the IPv6 stack in the Linux kernel before 3.19.6 allows remote attackers to reconfigure a hop-limit setting via a small hop_limit value in a Router Advertisement (RA) message. (bnc#922583) CVE-2015-2830: arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S in the Linux kernel before 3.19.2 does not prevent the TS_COMPAT flag from reaching a user-mode task, which might allow local users to bypass the seccomp or audit protection mechanism via a crafted application that uses the (1) fork or (2) close system call, as demonstrated by an attack against seccomp before 3.16. (bnc#926240) CVE-2015-2150: XSA-120: Xen 3.3.x through 4.5.x and the Linux kernel through 3.19.1 do not properly restrict access to PCI command registers, which might allow local guest users to cause a denial of service (non-maskable interrupt and host crash) by disabling the (1) memory or (2) I/O decoding for a PCI Express device and then accessing the device, which triggers an Unsupported Request (UR) response. (bnc#919463) CVE-2015-2042: net/rds/sysctl.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19 uses an incorrect data type in a sysctl table, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory or possibly have unspecified other impact by accessing a sysctl entry. (bnc#919018) CVE-2015-2041: net/llc/sysctl_net_llc.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19 uses an incorrect data type in a sysctl table, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory or possibly have unspecified other impact by accessing a sysctl entry. (bnc#919007) CVE-2015-1421: Use-after-free vulnerability in the sctp_assoc_update function in net/sctp/associola.c in the Linux kernel before 3.18.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (slab corruption and panic) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering an INIT collision that leads to improper handling of shared-key data. (bnc#915577) CVE-2015-0777: drivers/xen/usbback/usbback.c in 1 -2.6.18-xen-3.4.0 (aka the Xen 3.4.x support patches for the Linux kernel 2.6.18), as used in the Linux kernel 2.6.x and 3.x in SUSE Linux distributions, allows guest OS users to obtain sensitive information from uninitialized locations in host OS kernel memory via unspecified vectors. (bnc#917830) CVE-2014-9683: Off-by-one error in the ecryptfs_decode_from_filename function in fs/ecryptfs/crypto.c in the eCryptfs subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.18.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and system crash) or possibly gain privileges via a crafted filename. (bnc#918333) CVE-2014-9529: Race condition in the key_gc_unused_keys function in security/keys/gc.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or panic) or possibly have unspecified other impact via keyctl commands that trigger access to a key structure member during garbage collection of a key. (bnc#912202) CVE-2014-9419: The __switch_to function in arch/x86/kernel/process_64.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18.1 does not ensure that Thread Local Storage (TLS) descriptors are loaded before proceeding with other steps, which makes it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application that reads a TLS base address. (bnc#911326) CVE-2014-8159: The InfiniBand (IB) implementation in the Linux kernel does not properly restrict use of User Verbs for registration of memory regions, which allows local users to access arbitrary physical memory locations, and consequently cause a denial of service (system crash) or gain privileges, by leveraging permissions on a uverbs device under /dev/infiniband/. (bnc#914742) CVE-2014-8086: Race condition in the ext4_file_write_iter function in fs/ext4/file.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17 allows local users to cause a denial of service (file unavailability) via a combination of a write action and an F_SETFL fcntl operation for the O_DIRECT flag.
