This issue was previously mitigated for the stable suite by limiting the total number of files queued by each user on local sockets. The new kernel version in both suites includes that mitigation plus limits on the total size of pipe buffers allocated for each user. - CVE-2015-7566 Ralf Spenneberg of OpenSource Security reported that the visor driver crashes when a specially crafted USB device without bulk-out endpoint is detected. - CVE-2015-8767 An SCTP denial-of-service was discovered which can be triggered by a local attacker during a heartbeat timeout event after the 4-way handshake. - CVE-2015-8785 It was discovered that local users permitted to write to a file on a FUSE filesystem could cause a denial of service (unkillable loop in the kernel). - CVE-2015-8812 A flaw was found in the iw_cxgb3 Infiniband driver. Whenever it could not send a packet because the network was congested, it would free the packet buffer but later attempt to send the packet again. This use-after-free could result in a denial of service (crash or hang), data loss or privilege escalation. - CVE-2015-8816 A use-after-free vulnerability was discovered in the USB hub driver. This may be used by a physically present user for privilege escalation. - CVE-2015-8830 Ben Hawkes of Google Project Zero reported that the AIO interface permitted reading or writing 2 GiB of data or more in a single chunk, which could lead to an integer overflow when applied to certain filesystems, socket or device types. The full security impact has not been evaluated. - CVE-2016-0723 A use-after-free vulnerability was discovered in the TIOCGETD ioctl. A local attacker could use this flaw for denial-of-service. - CVE-2016-0774 It was found that the fix for CVE-2015-1805 in kernel versions older than Linux 3.16 did not correctly handle the case of a partially failed atomic read. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system or leak kernel memory to user space. - CVE-2016-2069 Andy Lutomirski discovered a race condition in flushing of the TLB when switching tasks on an x86 system. On an SMP system this could possibly lead to a crash, information leak or privilege escalation. - CVE-2016-2384 Andrey Konovalov found that a crafted USB MIDI device with an invalid USB descriptor could trigger a double-free. This may be used by a physically present user for privilege escalation. - CVE-2016-2543 Dmitry Vyukov found that the core sound sequencer driver (snd-seq) lacked a necessary check for a NULL pointer, allowing a user with access to a sound sequencer device to cause a denial-of service (crash). - CVE-2016-2544, CVE-2016-2546, CVE-2016-2547, CVE-2016-2548 Dmitry Vyukov found various race conditions in the sound subsystem (ALSA) last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 89122 published 2016-03-04 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2016-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/89122 title Debian DSA-3503-1 : linux - security update NASL family Huawei Local Security Checks NASL id EULEROS_SA-2019-1488.NASL description According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled IRET faults during the processing of NMIs. An unprivileged, local user could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially (although highly unlikely), escalate their privileges on the system.(CVE-2015-5157) - A denial of service vulnerability was found in the WhiteHEAT USB Serial Driver (whiteheat_attach function in drivers/usb/serial/whiteheat.c). In the driver, the COMMAND_PORT variable was hard coded and set to 4 (5th element). The driver assumed that the number of ports would always be 5 and used port number 5 as the command port. However, when using a USB device in which the number of ports was set to a number less than 5 (for example, 3), the driver triggered a kernel NULL-pointer dereference. A non-privileged attacker could use this flaw to panic the host.(CVE-2015-5257) - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the SCTP implementation. A local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service on the system by triggering a kernel panic when creating multiple sockets in parallel while the system did not have the SCTP module loaded.(CVE-2015-5283) - It was found that the x86 ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) is prone to a denial of service attack inside a virtualized environment in the form of an infinite loop in the microcode due to the way (sequential) delivering of benign exceptions such as #AC (alignment check exception) is handled.
