Summary

The PCI backend driver in Xen, when running on an x86 system and using Linux 3.1.x through 4.3.x as the driver domain, allows local guest administrators to hit BUG conditions and cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and host OS crash) by leveraging a system with access to a passed-through MSI or MSI-X capable physical PCI device and a crafted sequence of XEN_PCI_OP_* operations, aka "Linux pciback missing sanity checks."

        cause a denial of service (panic) via crafted epoll_ctl
        calls (bnc#955654).
    
      - CVE-2015-7509: fs/ext4/namei.c in the Linux kernel
        allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a denial
        of service (system crash) via a crafted no-journal
        filesystem, a related issue to CVE-2013-2015
        (bnc#956707).
    
      - CVE-2015-7515: An out of bounds memory access in the
        aiptek USB driver could be used by physical local
        attackers to crash the kernel (bnc#956708).
    
      - CVE-2015-7550: The keyctl_read_key function in
        security/keys/keyctl.c in the Linux kernel did not
        properly use a semaphore, which allowed local users to
        cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and
        system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact
        via a crafted application that leverages a race
        condition between keyctl_revoke and keyctl_read calls
        (bnc#958951).
    
      - CVE-2015-7566: A malicious USB device could cause kernel
        crashes in the visor device driver (bnc#961512).

      - CVE-2015-8543: The networking implementation in the
        Linux kernel did not validate protocol identifiers for
        certain protocol families, which allowed local users to
        cause a denial of service (NULL function pointer
        dereference and system crash) or possibly gain
        privileges by leveraging CLONE_NEWUSER support to
        execute a crafted SOCK_RAW application (bnc#958886).
    
      - CVE-2015-8550: Optimizations introduced by the compiler
        could have lead to double fetch vulnerabilities,
        potentially possibly leading to arbitrary code execution
        in backend (bsc#957988). (bsc#957988 XSA-155).
    
      - CVE-2015-8551: The PCI backend driver in Xen, when
        running on an x86 system and using Linux as the driver
        domain, allowed local guest administrators to hit BUG
        conditions and cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
        dereference and host OS crash) by leveraging a system
        with access to a passed-through MSI or MSI-X capable
        physical PCI device and a crafted sequence of
        XEN_PCI_OP_* operations, aka 'Linux pciback missing
        sanity checks (bnc#957990).
    
      - CVE-2015-8552: The PCI backend driver in Xen, when
        running on an x86 system and using Linux as the driver
        domain, allowed local guest administrators to generate a
        continuous stream of WARN messages and cause a denial of
        service (disk consumption) by leveraging a system with
        access to a passed-through MSI or MSI-X capable physical
        PCI device and XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msi operations, aka
        'Linux pciback missing sanity checks (bnc#957990).
    
      - CVE-2015-8569: The (1) pptp_bind and (2) pptp_connect
        functions in drivers/net/ppp/pptp.c in the Linux kernel
        do not verify an address length, which allowed local
        users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory
        and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism via a crafted
        application (bnc#959190).
    
      - CVE-2015-8575: The sco_sock_bind function in
        net/bluetooth/sco.c in the Linux kernel did not verify
        an address length, which allowed local users to obtain
        sensitive information from kernel memory and bypass the
        KASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application
        (bnc#959399).
    
      - CVE-2015-8767: net/sctp/sm_sideeffect.c in the Linux
        kernel did not properly manage the relationship between
        a lock and a socket, which allowed local users to cause
        a denial of service (deadlock) via a crafted sctp_accept
        call (bnc#961509).
    
      - CVE-2015-8785: The fuse_fill_write_pages function in
        fs/fuse/file.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users
        to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a
        writev system call that triggers a zero length for the
        first segment of an iov (bnc#963765).
    
      - CVE-2015-8812: A flaw was found in the CXGB3 kernel
        driver when the network was considered congested. The
        kernel would incorrectly misinterpret the congestion as
        an error condition and incorrectly free/clean up the
        skb. When the device would then send the skb's queued,
        these structures would be referenced and may panic the
        system or allow an attacker to escalate privileges in a
        use-after-free scenario.(bsc#966437).
    
      - CVE-2015-8816: A malicious USB device could cause kernel
        crashes in the in hub_activate() function (bnc#968010).
    
      - CVE-2016-0723: Race condition in the tty_ioctl function
        in drivers/tty/tty_io.c in the Linux kernel allowed
        local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel
        memory or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and
        system crash) by making a TIOCGETD ioctl call during
        processing of a TIOCSETD ioctl call (bnc#961500).
    
      - CVE-2016-2069: A race in invalidating paging structures
        that were not in use locally could have lead to
        disclosoure of information or arbitrary code exectution
        (bnc#963767).
    
      - CVE-2016-2143: On zSeries a fork of a large process
        could have caused memory corruption due to incorrect
        page table handling. (bnc#970504, LTC#138810).
    
      - CVE-2016-2184: A malicious USB device could cause kernel

    NASL idOPENSUSE-2016-116.NASL
    descriptionThe Linux kernel for openSUSE Leap 42.1 was updated to the 4.1.15 stable release, and also includes security and bugfixes. Following security bugs were fixed : - CVE-2016-0728: A reference leak in keyring handling with join_session_keyring() could lead to local attackers gain root privileges. (bsc#962075). - CVE-2015-7550: A local user could have triggered a race between read and revoke in keyctl (bnc#958951). - CVE-2015-8767: A case can occur when sctp_accept() is called by the user during a heartbeat timeout event after the 4-way handshake. Since sctp_assoc_migrate() changes both assoc->base.sk and assoc->ep, the bh_sock_lock in sctp_generate_heartbeat_event() will be taken with the listening socket but released with the new association socket. The result is a deadlock on any future attempts to take the listening socket lock. (bsc#961509) - CVE-2015-8539: A negatively instantiated user key could have been used by a local user to leverage privileges (bnc#958463). - CVE-2015-8569: The (1) pptp_bind and (2) pptp_connect functions in drivers/net/ppp/pptp.c in the Linux kernel did not verify an address length, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application (bnc#959190). - CVE-2015-8543: The networking implementation in the Linux kernel did not validate protocol identifiers for certain protocol families, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL function pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly gain privileges by leveraging CLONE_NEWUSER support to execute a crafted SOCK_RAW application (bnc#958886). - CVE-2015-8575: Validate socket address length in sco_sock_bind() to prevent information leak (bsc#959399). - CVE-2015-8551, CVE-2015-8552: xen/pciback: For XEN_PCI_OP_disable_msi[|x] only disable if device has MSI(X) enabled (bsc#957990). - CVE-2015-8550: Compiler optimizations in the XEN PV backend drivers could have lead to double fetch vulnerabilities, causing denial of service or arbitrary code execution (depending on the configuration) (bsc#957988). The following non-security bugs were fixed : - ALSA: hda - Add a fixup for Thinkpad X1 Carbon 2nd (bsc#958439). - ALSA: hda - Apply click noise workaround for Thinkpads generically (bsc#958439). - ALSA: hda - Fix noise problems on Thinkpad T440s (boo#958504). - ALSA: hda - Flush the pending probe work at remove (boo#960710). - ALSA: hda - Set codec to D3 at reboot/shutdown on Thinkpads (bsc#958439). - Add Cavium Thunderx network enhancements - Add RHEL to kernel-obs-build - Backport amd xgbe fixes and features - Backport arm64 patches from SLE12-SP1-ARM. - Btrfs: fix the number of transaction units needed to remove a block group (bsc#950178). - Btrfs: use global reserve when deleting unused block group after ENOSPC (bsc#950178). - Documentation: nousb is a module parameter (bnc#954324). - Driver for IBM System i/p VNIC protocol. - Enable CONFIG_PINCTRL_CHERRYVIEW (boo#954532) Needed for recent tablets/laptops.

The following security bugs were fixed : - CVE-2013-7446: Use-after-free vulnerability in net/unix/af_unix.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to bypass intended AF_UNIX socket permissions or cause a denial of service (panic) via crafted epoll_ctl calls (bnc#955654). - CVE-2015-5707: Integer overflow in the sg_start_req function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a large iov_count value in a write request (bnc#940338). - CVE-2015-7550: The keyctl_read_key function in security/keys/keyctl.c in the Linux kernel did not properly use a semaphore, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted application that leverages a race condition between keyctl_revoke and keyctl_read calls (bnc#958951). - CVE-2015-7799: The slhc_init function in drivers/net/slip/slhc.c in the Linux kernel did not ensure that certain slot numbers are valid, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted PPPIOCSMAXCID ioctl call (bnc#949936). - CVE-2015-8215: net/ipv6/addrconf.c in the IPv6 stack in the Linux kernel did not validate attempted changes to the MTU value, which allowed context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (packet loss) via a value that was (1) smaller than the minimum compliant value or (2) larger than the MTU of an interface, as demonstrated by a Router Advertisement (RA) message that is not validated by a daemon, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-0272 (bnc#955354). - CVE-2015-8539: The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (BUG) via crafted keyctl commands that negatively instantiate a key, related to security/keys/encrypted-keys/encrypted.c, security/keys/trusted.c, and security/keys/user_defined.c (bnc#958463). - CVE-2015-8543: The networking implementation in the Linux kernel did not validate protocol identifiers for certain protocol families, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL function pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly gain privileges by leveraging CLONE_NEWUSER support to execute a crafted SOCK_RAW application (bnc#958886). - CVE-2015-8550: Optimizations introduced by the compiler could have lead to double fetch vulnerabilities, potentially possibly leading to arbitrary code execution in backend (bsc#957988). - CVE-2015-8551: Xen PCI backend driver did not perform proper sanity checks on the device

    NASL idSUSE_SU-2016-0911-1.NASL
    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP4 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. Following feature was added to kernel-xen : - A improved XEN blkfront module was added, which allows more I/O bandwidth. (FATE#320200) It is called xen-blkfront in PV, and xen-vbd-upstream in HVM mode. The following security bugs were fixed : - CVE-2013-7446: Use-after-free vulnerability in net/unix/af_unix.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to bypass intended AF_UNIX socket permissions or cause a denial of service (panic) via crafted epoll_ctl calls (bnc#955654). - CVE-2015-7515: An out of bounds memory access in the aiptek USB driver could be used by physical local attackers to crash the kernel (bnc#956708). - CVE-2015-7550: The keyctl_read_key function in security/keys/keyctl.c in the Linux kernel did not properly use a semaphore, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted application that leverages a race condition between keyctl_revoke and keyctl_read calls (bnc#958951). - CVE-2015-8539: The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (BUG) via crafted keyctl commands that negatively instantiate a key, related to security/keys/encrypted-keys/encrypted.c, security/keys/trusted.c, and security/keys/user_defined.c (bnc#958463). - CVE-2015-8543: The networking implementation in the Linux kernel did not validate protocol identifiers for certain protocol families, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL function pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly gain privileges by leveraging CLONE_NEWUSER support to execute a crafted SOCK_RAW application (bnc#958886). - CVE-2015-8550: Compiler optimizations in the XEN PV backend drivers could have lead to double fetch vulnerabilities, causing denial of service or arbitrary code execution (depending on the configuration) (bsc#957988). - CVE-2015-8551, CVE-2015-8552: xen/pciback: For XEN_PCI_OP_disable_msi[|x] only disable if device has MSI(X) enabled (bsc#957990). - CVE-2015-8569: The (1) pptp_bind and (2) pptp_connect functions in drivers/net/ppp/pptp.c in the Linux kernel did not verify an address length, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application (bnc#959190). - CVE-2015-8575: The sco_sock_bind function in net/bluetooth/sco.c in the Linux kernel did not verify an address length, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application (bnc#959190 bnc#959399). - CVE-2015-8767: net/sctp/sm_sideeffect.c in the Linux kernel did not properly manage the relationship between a lock and a socket, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) via a crafted sctp_accept call (bnc#961509). - CVE-2015-8785: The fuse_fill_write_pages function in fs/fuse/file.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a writev system call that triggers a zero length for the first segment of an iov (bnc#963765). - CVE-2015-8812: A use-after-free flaw was found in the CXGB3 kernel driver when the network was considered to be congested. This could be used by local attackers to cause machine crashes or potentially code execution (bsc#966437). - CVE-2016-0723: Race condition in the tty_ioctl function in drivers/tty/tty_io.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) by making a TIOCGETD ioctl call during processing of a TIOCSETD ioctl call (bnc#961500). - CVE-2016-2069: Race conditions in TLB syncing was fixed which could leak to information leaks (bnc#963767). - CVE-2016-2384: Removed a double free in the ALSA usb-audio driver in the umidi object which could lead to crashes (bsc#966693). - CVE-2016-2543: Added a missing NULL check at remove_events ioctl in ALSA that could lead to crashes. (bsc#967972). - CVE-2016-2544, CVE-2016-2545, CVE-2016-2546, CVE-2016-2547, CVE-2016-2548, CVE-2016-2549: Various race conditions in ALSAs timer handling were fixed. (bsc#967975, bsc#967974, bsc#967973, bsc#968011, bsc#968012, bsc#968013). The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

    descriptionSeveral vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leak. - CVE-2015-7513 It was discovered that a local user permitted to use the x86 KVM subsystem could configure the PIT emulation to cause a denial of service (crash). - CVE-2015-7550 Dmitry Vyukov discovered a race condition in the keyring subsystem that allows a local user to cause a denial of service (crash). - CVE-2015-8543 It was discovered that a local user permitted to create raw sockets could cause a denial-of-service by specifying an invalid protocol number for the socket. The attacker must have the CAP_NET_RAW capability. - CVE-2015-8550 Felix Wilhelm of ERNW discovered that the Xen PV backend drivers may read critical data from shared memory multiple times. This flaw can be used by a guest kernel to cause a denial of service (crash) on the host, or possibly for privilege escalation. - CVE-2015-8551 / CVE-2015-8552 Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk of Oracle discovered that the Xen PCI backend driver does not adequately validate the device state when a guest configures MSIs. This flaw can be used by a guest kernel to cause a denial of service (crash or disk space exhaustion) on the host. - CVE-2015-8569 Dmitry Vyukov discovered a flaw in the PPTP sockets implementation that leads to an information leak to local users. - CVE-2015-8575 David Miller discovered a flaw in the Bluetooth SCO sockets implementation that leads to an information leak to local users. - CVE-2015-8709 Jann Horn discovered a flaw in the permission checks for use of the ptrace feature. A local user who has the CAP_SYS_PTRACE capability within their own user namespace could use this flaw for privilege escalation if a more privileged process ever enters that user namespace. This affects at least the LXC system. In addition, this update fixes some regressions in the previous update : - #808293 A regression in the UDP implementation prevented freeradius and some other applications from receiving data. - #808602 / #808953 A regression in the USB XHCI driver prevented use of some devices in USB 3 SuperSpeed ports. - #808973 A fix to the radeon driver interacted with an existing bug to cause a crash at boot when using some AMD/ATI graphics cards. This issue only affects wheezy.
