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.

The Linux kernel through 3.17.4 does not properly restrict dropping of supplemental group memberships in certain namespace scenarios, which allows local users to bypass intended file permissions by leveraging a POSIX ACL containing an entry for the group category that is more restrictive than the entry for the other category, aka a negative groups issue, related to kernel/groups.c, kernel/uid16.c, and kernel/user_namespace.c (CVE-2014-8989). 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 (CVE-2014-9419). The rock_continue function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18.1 does not restrict the number of Rock Ridge continuation entries, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop, and system crash or hang) via a crafted iso9660 image (CVE-2014-9420). The batadv_frag_merge_packets function in net/batman-adv/fragmentation.c in the B.A.T.M.A.N. implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.18.1 uses an incorrect length field during a calculation of an amount of memory, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (mesh-node system crash) via fragmented packets (CVE-2014-9428). 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 (CVE-2014-9529). The parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel before 3.18.2 does not validate a length value in the Extensions Reference (ER) System Use Field, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a crafted iso9660 image (CVE-2014-9584). The vdso_addr function in arch/x86/vdso/vma.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18.2 does not properly choose memory locations for the vDSO area, which makes it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism by guessing a location at the end of a PMD (CVE-2014-9585). The Crypto API in the Linux kernel before 3.18.5 allows local users to load arbitrary kernel modules via a bind system call for an AF_ALG socket with a parenthesized module template expression in the salg_name field, as demonstrated by the vfat(aes) expression, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-7421 (CVE-2014-9644). 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 (CVE-2014-9683). The em_sysenter function in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel before 3.18.5, when the guest OS lacks SYSENTER MSR initialization, allows guest OS users to gain guest OS privileges or cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) by triggering use of a 16-bit code segment for emulation of a SYSENTER instruction (CVE-2015-0239). The updated packages provides a solution for these security issues. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 81941 published 2015-03-19 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2015-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/81941 title Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : kernel (MDVSA-2015:058) NASL family Debian Local Security Checks NASL id DEBIAN_DSA-3170.NASL description Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service, information leaks or privilege escalation. - CVE-2013-7421 / CVE-2014-9644 It was discovered that the Crypto API allowed unprivileged users to load arbitrary kernel modules. A local user can use this flaw to exploit vulnerabilities in modules that would not normally be loaded. - CVE-2014-7822 Akira Fujita found that the splice() system call did not validate the given file offset and length. A local unprivileged user can use this flaw to cause filesystem corruption on ext4 filesystems, or possibly other effects. - CVE-2014-8160 Florian Westphal discovered that a netfilter (iptables/ip6tables) rule accepting packets to a specific SCTP, DCCP, GRE or UDPlite port/endpoint could result in incorrect connection tracking state. If only the generic connection tracking module (nf_conntrack) was loaded, and not the protocol-specific connection tracking module, this would allow access to any port/endpoint of the specified protocol. - CVE-2014-8559 It was found that kernel functions that iterate over a directory tree can dead-lock or live-lock in case some of the directory entries were recently deleted or dropped from the cache. A local unprivileged user can use this flaw for denial of service. - CVE-2014-9585 Andy Lutomirski discovered that address randomisation for the vDSO in 64-bit processes is extremely biased. A local unprivileged user could potentially use this flaw to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism. - CVE-2014-9683 Dmitry Chernenkov discovered that eCryptfs writes past the end of the allocated buffer during encrypted filename decoding, resulting in local denial of service. - CVE-2015-0239 It was found that KVM did not correctly emulate the x86 SYSENTER instruction. An unprivileged user within a guest system that has not enabled SYSENTER, for example because the emulated CPU vendor is AMD, could potentially use this flaw to cause a denial of service or privilege escalation in that guest. - CVE-2015-1420 It was discovered that the open_by_handle_at() system call reads the handle size from user memory a second time after validating it. A local user with the CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH capability could use this flaw for privilege escalation. - CVE-2015-1421 It was found that the SCTP implementation could free an authentication state while it was still in use, resulting in heap corruption. This could allow remote users to cause a denial of service or privilege escalation. - CVE-2015-1593 It was found that address randomisation for the initial stack in 64-bit processes was limited to 20 rather than 22 bits of entropy. A local unprivileged user could potentially use this flaw to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism. last seen 2020-03-17 modified 2015-02-24 plugin id 81449 published 2015-02-24 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2015-2020 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/81449 title Debian DSA-3170-1 : linux - security update NASL family Scientific Linux Local Security Checks NASL id SL_20150722_KERNEL_ON_SL6_X.NASL description * A flaw was found in the way Linux kernel last seen 2020-03-18 modified 2015-08-04 plugin id 85198 published 2015-08-04 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2015-2020 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/85198 title Scientific Linux Security Update : kernel on SL6.x i386/x86_64 (20150722) NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id OPENSUSE-2016-124.NASL description The openSUSE 13.1 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

CVE-2015-2666: A buffer overflow when loading microcode files into the kernel could be used by the administrator to execute code in the kernel, bypassing secure boot measures. - CVE-2015-1421: Use-after-free vulnerability in the sctp_assoc_update function in net/sctp/associola.c in the Linux kernel allowed 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. - CVE-2015-2150: XSA-120: Guests were permitted to modify all bits of the PCI command register of passed through cards, which could lead to Host system crashes. - CVE-2015-0777: The XEN usb backend could leak information to the guest system due to copying uninitialized memory. - CVE-2015-1593: A integer overflow reduced the effectiveness of the stack randomization on 64-bit systems. - CVE-2014-9419: The __switch_to function in arch/x86/kernel/process_64.c in the Linux kernel did not ensure that Thread Local Storage (TLS) descriptors are loaded before proceeding with other steps, which made it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application that reads a TLS base address. - CVE-2014-9428: The batadv_frag_merge_packets function in net/batman-adv/fragmentation.c in the B.A.T.M.A.N. implementation in the Linux kernel used an incorrect length field during a calculation of an amount of memory, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (mesh-node system crash) via fragmented packets. - CVE-2014-8160: net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto_generic.c in the Linux kernel generated incorrect conntrack entries during handling of certain iptables rule sets for the SCTP, DCCP, GRE, and UDP-Lite protocols, which allowed remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via packets with disallowed port numbers. - CVE-2014-9529: Race condition in the key_gc_unused_keys function in security/keys/gc.c in the Linux kernel allowed 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. - CVE-2014-9420: The rock_continue function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel did not restrict the number of Rock Ridge continuation entries, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop, and system crash or hang) via a crafted iso9660 image. - CVE-2014-9584: The parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel did not validate a length value in the Extensions Reference (ER) System Use Field, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a crafted iso9660 image. - CVE-2014-9585: The vdso_addr function in arch/x86/vdso/vma.c in the Linux kernel did not properly choose memory locations for the vDSO area, which made it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism by guessing a location at the end of a PMD. - CVE-2014-8559: The d_walk function in fs/dcache.c in the Linux kernel through did not properly maintain the semantics of rename_lock, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock and system hang) via a crafted application. - CVE-2014-8134: The paravirt_ops_setup function in arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c in the Linux kernel used an improper paravirt_enabled setting for KVM guest kernels, which made it easier for guest OS users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application that reads a 16-bit value. Following bugs were fixed : - powerpc/pci: Fix IO space breakage after of_pci_range_to_resource() change (bnc#922542). - cifs: fix use-after-free bug in find_writable_file (bnc#909477). - usb: Do not allow usb_alloc_streams on unconfigured devices (bsc#920581). - fuse: honour max_read and max_write in direct_io mode (bnc#918954). - switch iov_iter_get_pages() to passing maximal number of pages (bnc#918954). - bcache: fix a livelock in btree lock v2 (bnc#910440) (bnc#910440). Updated because another version went upstream - drm/i915: Initialise userptr mmu_notifier serial to 1 (bnc#918970). - NFS: Don last seen 2020-06-05 modified 2015-04-14 plugin id 82756 published 2015-04-14 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2015-2020 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/82756 title openSUSE Security Update : Linux Kernel (openSUSE-2015-302) NASL family Oracle Linux Local Security Checks NASL id ORACLELINUX_ELSA-2015-3054.NASL description Description of changes: [2.6.39-400.250.9.el6uek] - x86, tls: Interpret an all-zero struct user_desc as last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 85175 published 2015-08-03 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/85175 title Oracle Linux 5 / 6 : Unbreakable Enterprise kernel (ELSA-2015-3054) NASL family Ubuntu Local Security Checks NASL id UBUNTU_USN-2516-3.NASL description USN-2516-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel, and the fix in USN-2516-2 was incomplete.
