Summary

crypto/algif_skcipher.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4.2 does not verify that a setkey operation has been performed on an AF_ALG socket before an accept system call is processed, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted application that does not supply a key, related to the lrw_crypt function in crypto/lrw.c.

    descriptionFrom Red Hat Security Advisory 2017:1842 : An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section. The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix(es) : * An use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel which enables a race condition in the L2TPv3 IP Encapsulation feature. A local user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges or crash the system. (CVE-2016-10200, Important) * A flaw was found that can be triggered in keyring_search_iterator in keyring.c if type->match is NULL. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges. (CVE-2017-2647, Important) * It was found that the NFSv4 server in the Linux kernel did not properly validate layout type when processing NFSv4 pNFS LAYOUTGET and GETDEVICEINFO operands. A remote attacker could use this flaw to soft-lockup the system and thus cause denial of service. (CVE-2017-8797, Important) This update also fixes multiple Moderate and Low impact security issues : * CVE-2015-8839, CVE-2015-8970, CVE-2016-9576, CVE-2016-7042, CVE-2016-7097, CVE-2016-8645, CVE-2016-9576, CVE-2016-9588, CVE-2016-9806, CVE-2016-10088, CVE-2016-10147, CVE-2017-2596, CVE-2017-2671, CVE-2017-5970, CVE-2017-6001, CVE-2017-6951, CVE-2017-7187, CVE-2017-7616, CVE-2017-7889, CVE-2017-8890, CVE-2017-9074, CVE-2017-8890, CVE-2017-9075, CVE-2017-8890, CVE-2017-9076, CVE-2017-8890, CVE-2017-9077, CVE-2017-9242, CVE-2014-7970, CVE-2014-7975, CVE-2016-6213, CVE-2016-9604, CVE-2016-9685 Documentation for these issues is available from the Release Notes document linked from the References section.

    NASL idSUSE_SU-2017-1301-1.NASL
    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP4 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. Notable new features : - Toleration of newer crypto hardware for z Systems - USB 2.0 Link power management for Haswell-ULT The following security bugs were fixed : - CVE-2017-7308: The packet_set_ring function in net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel did not properly validate certain block-size data, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls (bnc#1031579) - CVE-2017-2671: The ping_unhash function in net/ipv4/ping.c in the Linux kernel was too late in obtaining a certain lock and consequently could not ensure that disconnect function calls are safe, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (panic) by leveraging access to the protocol value of IPPROTO_ICMP in a socket system call (bnc#1031003) - CVE-2017-7184: The xfrm_replay_verify_len function in net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c in the Linux kernel did not validate certain size data after an XFRM_MSG_NEWAE update, which allowed local users to obtain root privileges or cause a denial of service (heap-based out-of-bounds access) by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability (bsc#1030573). - CVE-2017-5970: The ipv4_pktinfo_prepare function in net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c in the Linux kernel allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via (1) an application that made crafted system calls or possibly (2) IPv4 traffic with invalid IP options (bsc#1024938). - CVE-2017-7616: Incorrect error handling in the set_mempolicy and mbind compat syscalls in mm/mempolicy.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from uninitialized stack data by triggering failure of a certain bitmap operation (bsc#1033336). - CVE-2017-7294: The vmw_surface_define_ioctl function in drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux kernel did not validate addition of certain levels data, which allowed local users to trigger an integer overflow and out-of-bounds write, and cause a denial of service (system hang or crash) or possibly gain privileges, via a crafted ioctl call for a /dev/dri/renderD* device (bnc#1031440) - CVE-2017-7261: The vmw_surface_define_ioctl function in drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux kernel did not check for a zero value of certain levels data, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (ZERO_SIZE_PTR dereference, and GPF and possibly panic) via a crafted ioctl call for a /dev/dri/renderD* device (bnc#1031052) - CVE-2017-7187: The sg_ioctl function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a large command size in an SG_NEXT_CMD_LEN ioctl call, leading to out-of-bounds write access in the sg_write function (bnc#1030213) - CVE-2017-6348: The hashbin_delete function in net/irda/irqueue.c in the Linux kernel improperly managed lock dropping, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) via crafted operations on IrDA devices (bnc#1027178) - CVE-2017-5669: The do_shmat function in ipc/shm.c in the Linux kernel did not restrict the address calculated by a certain rounding operation, which allowed local users to map page zero, and consequently bypass a protection mechanism that exists for the mmap system call, by making crafted shmget and shmat system calls in a privileged context (bnc#1026914) - CVE-2015-3288: mm/memory.c in the Linux kernel mishandled anonymous pages, which allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (page tainting) via a crafted application that triggers writing to page zero (bsc#979021). - CVE-2016-10200: Race condition in the L2TPv3 IP Encapsulation feature in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by making multiple bind system calls without properly ascertaining whether a socket has the SOCK_ZAPPED status, related to net/l2tp/l2tp_ip.c and net/l2tp/l2tp_ip6.c (bnc#1028415) - CVE-2016-5243: The tipc_nl_compat_link_dump function in net/tipc/netlink_compat.c in the Linux kernel did not properly copy a certain string, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory by reading a Netlink message (bnc#983212) - CVE-2017-6353: net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict association peel-off operations during certain wait states, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (invalid unlock and double free) via a multithreaded application (bnc#1027066) - CVE-2017-6214: The tcp_splice_read function in net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and soft lockup) via vectors involving a TCP packet with the URG flag (bnc#1026722) - CVE-2017-6074: The dccp_rcv_state_process function in net/dccp/input.c in the Linux kernel mishandled DCCP_PKT_REQUEST packet data structures in the LISTEN state, which allowed local users to obtain root privileges or cause a denial of service (double free) via an application that made an IPV6_RECVPKTINFO setsockopt system call (bnc#1026024) - CVE-2017-5986: Race condition in the sctp_wait_for_sndbuf function in net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and panic) via a multithreaded application that peels off an association in a certain buffer-full state (bsc#1025235) - CVE-2015-8970: crypto/algif_skcipher.c in the Linux kernel did not verify that a setkey operation has been performed on an AF_ALG socket an accept system call is processed, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted application that does not supply a key, related to the lrw_crypt function in crypto/lrw.c (bsc#1008374).

    "The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP4 kernel was updated to receive various
    security and bugfixes. Notable new features :
    
      - Toleration of newer crypto hardware for z Systems
    
      - USB 2.0 Link power management for Haswell-ULT The
        following security bugs were fixed :
    
      - CVE-2017-7308: The packet_set_ring function in
        net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel did not
        properly validate certain block-size data, which allowed
        local users to cause a denial of service (overflow) or
        possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted
        system calls (bnc#1031579)
    
      - CVE-2017-2671: The ping_unhash function in
        net/ipv4/ping.c in the Linux kernel was too late in
        obtaining a certain lock and consequently could not
        ensure that disconnect function calls are safe, which
        allowed local users to cause a denial of service (panic)
        by leveraging access to the protocol value of
        IPPROTO_ICMP in a socket system call (bnc#1031003)
    
      - CVE-2017-7184: The xfrm_replay_verify_len function in
        net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c in the Linux kernel did not
        validate certain size data after an XFRM_MSG_NEWAE
        update, which allowed local users to obtain root
        privileges or cause a denial of service (heap-based
        out-of-bounds access) by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN
        capability (bsc#1030573).
    
      - CVE-2017-5970: The ipv4_pktinfo_prepare function in
        net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c in the Linux kernel allowed
        attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash)
        via (1) an application that made crafted system calls or
        possibly (2) IPv4 traffic with invalid IP options
        (bsc#1024938).
    
      - CVE-2017-7616: Incorrect error handling in the
        set_mempolicy and mbind compat syscalls in
        mm/mempolicy.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users
        to obtain sensitive information from uninitialized stack
        data by triggering failure of a certain bitmap operation
        (bsc#1033336).
    
      - CVE-2017-7294: The vmw_surface_define_ioctl function in
        drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux
        kernel did not validate addition of certain levels data,
        which allowed local users to trigger an integer overflow
        and out-of-bounds write, and cause a denial of service
        (system hang or crash) or possibly gain privileges, via
        a crafted ioctl call for a /dev/dri/renderD* device
        (bnc#1031440)
    
      - CVE-2017-7261: The vmw_surface_define_ioctl function in
        drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux
        kernel did not check for a zero value of certain levels
        data, which allowed local users to cause a denial of
        service (ZERO_SIZE_PTR dereference, and GPF and possibly
        panic) via a crafted ioctl call for a /dev/dri/renderD*
        device (bnc#1031052)
    
      - CVE-2017-7187: The sg_ioctl function in
        drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux kernel allowed local
        users to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer
        overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via
        a large command size in an SG_NEXT_CMD_LEN ioctl call,
        leading to out-of-bounds write access in the sg_write
        function (bnc#1030213)
    
      - CVE-2017-6348: The hashbin_delete function in
        net/irda/irqueue.c in the Linux kernel improperly
        managed lock dropping, which allowed local users to
        cause a denial of service (deadlock) via crafted
        operations on IrDA devices (bnc#1027178)
    
      - CVE-2017-5669: The do_shmat function in ipc/shm.c in the
        Linux kernel did not restrict the address calculated by
        a certain rounding operation, which allowed local users
        to map page zero, and consequently bypass a protection
        mechanism that exists for the mmap system call, by
        making crafted shmget and shmat system calls in a
        privileged context (bnc#1026914)
    
      - CVE-2015-3288: mm/memory.c in the Linux kernel
        mishandled anonymous pages, which allowed local users to
        gain privileges or cause a denial of service (page
        tainting) via a crafted application that triggers
        writing to page zero (bsc#979021).
    
      - CVE-2016-10200: Race condition in the L2TPv3 IP
        Encapsulation feature in the Linux kernel allowed local
        users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service
        (use-after-free) by making multiple bind system calls
        without properly ascertaining whether a socket has the
        SOCK_ZAPPED status, related to net/l2tp/l2tp_ip.c and
        net/l2tp/l2tp_ip6.c (bnc#1028415)
    
      - CVE-2016-5243: The tipc_nl_compat_link_dump function in
        net/tipc/netlink_compat.c in the Linux kernel did not
        properly copy a certain string, which allowed local
        users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack
        memory by reading a Netlink message (bnc#983212)
    
      - CVE-2017-6353: net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel did
        not properly restrict association peel-off operations
        during certain wait states, which allowed local users to
        cause a denial of service (invalid unlock and double
        free) via a multithreaded application (bnc#1027066)
    
      - CVE-2017-6214: The tcp_splice_read function in
        net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel allowed remote
        attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop
        and soft lockup) via vectors involving a TCP packet with
        the URG flag (bnc#1026722)
    
      - CVE-2017-6074: The dccp_rcv_state_process function in
        net/dccp/input.c in the Linux kernel mishandled
        DCCP_PKT_REQUEST packet data structures in the LISTEN
        state, which allowed local users to obtain root
        privileges or cause a denial of service (double free)
        via an application that made an IPV6_RECVPKTINFO
        setsockopt system call (bnc#1026024)
    
      - CVE-2017-5986: Race condition in the
        sctp_wait_for_sndbuf function in net/sctp/socket.c in
        the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial
        of service (assertion failure and panic) via a
        multithreaded application that peels off an association
        in a certain buffer-full state (bsc#1025235)
    
      - CVE-2015-8970: crypto/algif_skcipher.c in the Linux
        kernel did not verify that a setkey operation has been
        performed on an AF_ALG socket an accept system call is
        processed, which allowed local users to cause a denial
        of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash)
        via a crafted application that does not supply a key,
        related to the lrw_crypt function in crypto/lrw.c
        (bsc#1008374).

    descriptionAn update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section. The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix(es) : * An use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel which enables a race condition in the L2TPv3 IP Encapsulation feature. A local user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges or crash the system. (CVE-2016-10200, Important) * A flaw was found that can be triggered in keyring_search_iterator in keyring.c if type->match is NULL. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges. (CVE-2017-2647, Important) * It was found that the NFSv4 server in the Linux kernel did not properly validate layout type when processing NFSv4 pNFS LAYOUTGET and GETDEVICEINFO operands. A remote attacker could use this flaw to soft-lockup the system and thus cause denial of service. (CVE-2017-8797, Important) This update also fixes multiple Moderate and Low impact security issues : * CVE-2015-8839, CVE-2015-8970, CVE-2016-9576, CVE-2016-7042, CVE-2016-7097, CVE-2016-8645, CVE-2016-9576, CVE-2016-9588, CVE-2016-9806, CVE-2016-10088, CVE-2016-10147, CVE-2017-2596, CVE-2017-2671, CVE-2017-5970, CVE-2017-6001, CVE-2017-6951, CVE-2017-7187, CVE-2017-7616, CVE-2017-7889, CVE-2017-8890, CVE-2017-9074, CVE-2017-8890, CVE-2017-9075, CVE-2017-8890, CVE-2017-9076, CVE-2017-8890, CVE-2017-9077, CVE-2017-9242, CVE-2014-7970, CVE-2014-7975, CVE-2016-6213, CVE-2016-9604, CVE-2016-9685 Documentation for these issues is available from the Release Notes document linked from the References section. Red Hat would like to thank Igor Redko (Virtuozzo) and Andrey Ryabinin (Virtuozzo) for reporting CVE-2017-2647; Igor Redko (Virtuozzo) and Vasily Averin (Virtuozzo) for reporting CVE-2015-8970; Marco Grassi for reporting CVE-2016-8645; and Dmitry Vyukov (Google Inc.) for reporting CVE-2017-2596.

    "An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
    
    Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security
    impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
    score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each
    vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
    
    The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
    operating system.
    
    Security Fix(es) :
    
    * An use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel which enables a
    race condition in the L2TPv3 IP Encapsulation feature. A local user
    could use this flaw to escalate their privileges or crash the system.
    (CVE-2016-10200, Important)
    
    * A flaw was found that can be triggered in keyring_search_iterator in
    keyring.c if type->match is NULL. A local user could use this flaw to
    crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges.
    (CVE-2017-2647, Important)
    
    * It was found that the NFSv4 server in the Linux kernel did not
    properly validate layout type when processing NFSv4 pNFS LAYOUTGET and
    GETDEVICEINFO operands. A remote attacker could use this flaw to
    soft-lockup the system and thus cause denial of service.
    (CVE-2017-8797, Important)
    
    This update also fixes multiple Moderate and Low impact security
    issues :
    
    * CVE-2015-8839, CVE-2015-8970, CVE-2016-9576, CVE-2016-7042,

    Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security
    impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
    score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each
    vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
    
    The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which
    enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism
    requirements.
    
    Security Fix(es) :
    
    * A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel which enables a
    race condition in the L2TPv3 IP Encapsulation feature. A local user
    could use this flaw to escalate their privileges or crash the system.
    (CVE-2016-10200, Important)
    
    * A flaw was found that can be triggered in keyring_search_iterator in
    keyring.c if type->match is NULL. A local user could use this flaw to
    crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges.
    (CVE-2017-2647, Important)
    
    * The lrw_crypt() function in 'crypto/lrw.c' in the Linux kernel
    before 4.5 allows local users to cause a system crash and a denial of
    service by the NULL pointer dereference via accept(2) system call for
    AF_ALG socket without calling setkey() first to set a cipher key.
    (CVE-2015-8970, Moderate)
    
    Red Hat would like to thank Igor Redko (Virtuozzo) and Andrey Ryabinin
    (Virtuozzo) for reporting CVE-2017-2647 and Igor Redko (Virtuozzo) and
    Vasily Averin (Virtuozzo) for reporting CVE-2015-8970.
    
    Bug Fix(es) :
    
    * Writing model-specific register (MSR) registers during intel_idle
    initialization could previously cause exceptions. Consequently, a
    kernel panic occurred during this initialization. The function call to
    write to the MSR with exception handling was modified to use
    wrmsrl_safe() instead of wrmsrl(). In this scenario, the kernel no
    longer panics. (BZ#1447438)
    
    * The ixgbe driver was using incorrect bitwise operations on received
    PTP flags. Consequently, systems that were using the ixgbe driver
    could not synchronize time using PTP. The provided patch corrected the
    bitwise operations on received PTP flags allowing these system to
    correctly synchronize time using PTP. (BZ#1469795) (BZ#1451821)
    
    The kernel-rt packages have been upgraded to version
    3.10.0-514.rt56.230, which provides a number of security and bug fixes
    over the previous version. (BZ#1463427)"

    descriptionAccording to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - An information-leak vulnerability was found in the kernel when it truncated a file to a smaller size which consisted of an inline extent that was compressed. The data between the new file size and the old file size was not discarded and the number of bytes used by the inode were not correctly decremented, which gave the wrong report for callers of the stat(2) syscall. This wasted metadata space and allowed for the truncated data to be leaked, and data corruption or loss to occur. A caller of the clone ioctl could exploit this flaw by using only standard file-system operations without root access to read the truncated data.(CVE-2015-8374) - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel

    EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by
    the following vulnerabilities :
    
      - An information-leak vulnerability was found in the
        kernel when it truncated a file to a smaller size which
        consisted of an inline extent that was compressed. The
        data between the new file size and the old file size
        was not discarded and the number of bytes used by the
        inode were not correctly decremented, which gave the
        wrong report for callers of the stat(2) syscall. This
        wasted metadata space and allowed for the truncated
        data to be leaked, and data corruption or loss to
        occur. A caller of the clone ioctl could exploit this
        flaw by using only standard file-system operations
        without root access to read the truncated
        data.(CVE-2015-8374)
    
      - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's key management
        system where it was possible for an attacker to
        escalate privileges or crash the machine. If a user key
        gets negatively instantiated, an error code is cached
        in the payload area. A negatively instantiated key may
        be then be positively instantiated by updating it with
        valid data. However, the -i1/4zupdate key type method
        must be aware that the error code may be
        there.(CVE-2015-8539)
    
      - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way
        the Linux kernel's network subsystem handled socket
        creation with an invalid protocol identifier. A local
        user could use this flaw to crash the
        system.(CVE-2015-8543)
    
      - An out-of-bounds flaw was found in the kernel, where
        the length of the sockaddr parameter was not checked in
        the pptp_bind() and pptp_connect() functions. As a
        result, more kernel memory was copied out than
        required, leaking information from the kernel stack
        (including kernel addresses). A local system user could
        exploit this flaw to bypass kernel ASLR or leak other
        information.(CVE-2015-8569)
    
      - An out-of-bounds flaw was found in the kernel, where
        the sco_sock_bind() function (bluetooth/sco) did not
        check the length of its sockaddr parameter. As a
        result, more kernel memory was copied out than
        required, leaking information from the kernel stack
        (including kernel addresses). A local user could
        exploit this flaw to bypass kernel ASLR or leak other
        information.(CVE-2015-8575)
    
      - The ovl_setattr function in fs/overlayfs/inode.c in the
        Linux kernel through 4.3.3 attempts to merge distinct
        setattr operations, which allows local users to bypass
        intended access restrictions and modify the attributes
        of arbitrary overlay files via a crafted
        application.(CVE-2015-8660)
    
      - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux
        kernel: the NFSv4.2 migration code improperly
        initialized the kernel structure. A local,
        authenticated user could use this flaw to cause a panic
        of the NFS client (denial of service).(CVE-2015-8746)
    
      - A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux
        kernel's SCTP implementation handled sctp_accept()
        during the processing of heartbeat timeout events. A
        remote attacker could use this flaw to prevent further
        connections to be accepted by the SCTP server running
        on the system, resulting in a denial of
        service.(CVE-2015-8767)
    
      - An infinite-loop flaw was found in the kernel. When a
        local user calls the sys_writev syscall with a
        specially crafted sequence of iov structs, the
        fuse_fill_write_pages kernel function might never
        terminate, instead continuing in a tight loop. This
        process cannot be terminated and requires a
        reboot.(CVE-2015-8785)
    
      - A NULL-pointer dereference vulnerability was found in
        the Linux kernel's TCP stack, in
        net/netfilter/nf_nat_redirect.c in the
        nf_nat_redirect_ipv4() function. A remote,
        unauthenticated user could exploit this flaw to create
        a system crash (denial of service).(CVE-2015-8787)
    
      - A use-after-free flaw was found in the CXGB3 kernel
        driver when the network was considered to be congested.
        The kernel incorrectly misinterpreted the congestion as
        an error condition and incorrectly freed or cleaned up
        the socket buffer (skb). When the device then sent the
        skb's queued data, these structures were referenced. A
        local attacker could use this flaw to panic the system
        (denial of service) or, with a local account, escalate
        their privileges.(CVE-2015-8812)
    
      - The hub_activate function in drivers/usb/core/hub.c in
        the Linux kernel before 4.3.5 does not properly
        maintain a hub-interface data structure, which allows
        physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of
        service (invalid memory access and system crash) or
        possibly have unspecified other impact by unplugging a
        USB hub device.(CVE-2015-8816)
    
      - The ioresources_init function in kernel/resource.c in
        the Linux kernel through 4.7, as used in Android before
        2016-08-05 on Nexus 6 and 7 (2013) devices, uses weak
        permissions for /proc/iomem, which allows local users
        to obtain sensitive information by reading this file,
        aka Android internal bug 28814213 and Qualcomm internal
        bug CR786116. NOTE: the permissions may be intentional
        in most non-Android contexts.(CVE-2015-8944)
    
      - 'A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation
        of overlayfs. An attacker can leak file resources in
        the system by opening a large file with write
        permissions on a overlay filesystem that is
        insufficient to deal with the size of the write.
    
      - When unmounting the underlying device, the system is
        unable to free an inode and this will consume
        resources. Repeating this for all available inodes and
        memory will create a denial of service
        situation.(CVE-2015-8953)'
    
      - The rfcomm_sock_bind function in
        net/bluetooth/rfcomm/sock.c in the Linux kernel before
        4.2 allows local users to obtain sensitive information
        or cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference)
        via vectors involving a bind system call on a Bluetooth
        RFCOMM socket.(CVE-2015-8956)
    
      - A flaw was found in the ext4 subsystem. This
        vulnerability is a use after free vulnerability was
        found in __ext4_journal_stop(). Attackers could abuse
        this to allow any code which attempts to deal with the
        journal failure to be mishandled or not fail at all.
        This could lead to data corruption or
        crashes.(CVE-2015-8961)
    
      - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel SCSI subsystem,
        which allowed a local user to gain privileges or cause
        a denial of service (memory corruption and system
        crash) by issuing an SG_IO ioctl call while a device
        was being detached.(CVE-2015-8962)
    
      - Race condition in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux
        kernel before 4.4 allows local users to gain privileges
        or cause a denial of service via use-after-free
        vulnerability by leveraging incorrect handling of an
        swevent data structure during a CPU unplug
        operation.(CVE-2015-8963)
    
      - The tty_set_termios_ldisc() function in
        'drivers/tty/tty_ldisc.c' in the Linux kernel before
        4.5 allows local users to obtain sensitive information
        from kernel memory by reading a tty data
        structure.(CVE-2015-8964)
    
      - The lrw_crypt() function in 'crypto/lrw.c' in the Linux
        kernel before 4.5 allows local users to cause a system
        crash and a denial of service by the NULL pointer
        dereference via accept(2) system call for AF_ALG socket
        without calling setkey() first to set a cipher
        key.(CVE-2015-8970)
    
      - It was found that kernel/events/core.c in the Linux
        kernel mishandles counter grouping, which allows local
        users to gain privileges via a crafted application,
        related to the perf_pmu_register and perf_event_open
        functions.(CVE-2015-9004)
    
      - A use-after-free flaw was discovered in the Linux
        kernel's tty subsystem, which allows for the disclosure
        of uncontrolled memory location and possible kernel
        panic. The information leak is caused by a race
        condition when attempting to set and read the tty line
        discipline. A local attacker could use the TIOCSETD
        (via tty_set_ldisc ) to switch to a new line discipline
        a concurrent call to a TIOCGETD ioctl performing a read
        on a given tty could then access previously allocated
        memory. Up to 4 bytes could be leaked when querying the
        line discipline or the kernel could panic with a
        NULL-pointer dereference.(CVE-2016-0723)

  • NASL familySuSE Local Security Checks
    NASL idSUSE_SU-2017-0494-1.NASL
    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP3 LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed : - CVE-2015-8970: crypto/algif_skcipher.c in the Linux kernel did not verify that a setkey operation has been performed on an AF_ALG socket before an accept system call is processed, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted application that did not supply a key, related to the lrw_crypt function in crypto/lrw.c (bnc#1008374). - CVE-2017-5551: Clear S_ISGID on tmpfs when setting posix ACLs (bsc#1021258). - CVE-2016-7097: The filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel preserves the setgid bit during a setxattr call, which allowed local users to gain group privileges by leveraging the existence of a setgid program with restrictions on execute permissions (bnc#995968). - CVE-2016-10088: The sg implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict write operations in situations where the KERNEL_DS option is set, which allowed local users to read or write to arbitrary kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging access to a /dev/sg device, related to block/bsg.c and drivers/scsi/sg.c. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-9576 (bnc#1017710). - CVE-2004-0230: TCP, when using a large Window Size, made it easier for remote attackers to guess sequence numbers and cause a denial of service (connection loss) to persistent TCP connections by repeatedly injecting a TCP RST packet, especially in protocols that use long-lived connections, such as BGP (bnc#969340). - CVE-2016-8632: The tipc_msg_build function in net/tipc/msg.c in the Linux kernel did not validate the relationship between the minimum fragment length and the maximum packet size, which allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability (bnc#1008831). - CVE-2016-8399: An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the kernel networking subsystem could have enabled a local malicious application to execute arbitrary code within the context of the kernel bnc#1014746). - CVE-2016-9793: The sock_setsockopt function in net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel mishandled negative values of sk_sndbuf and sk_rcvbuf, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for a crafted setsockopt system call with the (1) SO_SNDBUFFORCE or (2) SO_RCVBUFFORCE option (bnc#1013531). - CVE-2012-6704: The sock_setsockopt function in net/core/sock.c in the Linux kernel mishandled negative values of sk_sndbuf and sk_rcvbuf, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for a crafted setsockopt system call with the (1) SO_SNDBUF or (2) SO_RCVBUF option (bnc#1013542). - CVE-2016-9756: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize Code Segment (CS) in certain error cases, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a crafted application (bnc#1013038). - CVE-2016-3841: The IPv6 stack in the Linux kernel mishandled options data, which allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) via a crafted sendmsg system call (bnc#992566). - CVE-2016-9685: Multiple memory leaks in error paths in fs/xfs/xfs_attr_list.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via crafted XFS filesystem operations (bnc#1012832). - CVE-2015-1350: The VFS subsystem in the Linux kernel provided an incomplete set of requirements for setattr operations that underspecifies removing extended privilege attributes, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (capability stripping) via a failed invocation of a system call, as demonstrated by using chown to remove a capability from the ping or Wireshark dumpcap program (bnc#914939). - CVE-2015-8962: Double free vulnerability in the sg_common_write function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) by detaching a device during an SG_IO ioctl call (bnc#1010501). - CVE-2016-9555: The sctp_sf_ootb function in net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c in the Linux kernel lacked chunk-length checking for the first chunk, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds slab access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted SCTP data (bnc#1011685). - CVE-2016-7910: Use-after-free vulnerability in the disk_seqf_stop function in block/genhd.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges by leveraging the execution of a certain stop operation even if the corresponding start operation had failed (bnc#1010716). - CVE-2016-7911: Race condition in the get_task_ioprio function in block/ioprio.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted ioprio_get system call (bnc#1010711). - CVE-2015-8964: The tty_set_termios_ldisc function in drivers/tty/tty_ldisc.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by reading a tty data structure (bnc#1010507). - CVE-2016-7916: Race condition in the environ_read function in fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by reading a /proc/*/environ file during a process-setup time interval in which environment-variable copying is incomplete (bnc#1010467). - CVE-2016-8646: The hash_accept function in crypto/algif_hash.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) by attempting to trigger use of in-kernel hash algorithms for a socket that has received zero bytes of data (bnc#1010150). - CVE-2016-8633: drivers/firewire/net.c in the Linux kernel in certain unusual hardware configurations allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted fragmented packets (bnc#1008833). - CVE-2016-7042: The proc_keys_show function in security/keys/proc.c in the Linux, when the GNU Compiler Collection (gcc) stack protector is enabled, used an incorrect buffer size for certain timeout data, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (stack memory corruption and panic) by reading the /proc/keys file (bnc#1004517). - CVE-2015-8956: The rfcomm_sock_bind function in net/bluetooth/rfcomm/sock.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via vectors involving a bind system call on a Bluetooth RFCOMM socket (bnc#1003925). - CVE-2016-7117: Use-after-free vulnerability in the __sys_recvmmsg function in net/socket.c in the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving a recvmmsg system call that is mishandled during error processing (bnc#1003077). - CVE-2016-0823: The pagemap_open function in fs/proc/task_mmu.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive physical-address information by reading a pagemap file (bnc#994759). - CVE-2016-7425: The arcmsr_iop_message_xfer function in drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c in the Linux kernel did not restrict a certain length field, which allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) via an ARCMSR_MESSAGE_WRITE_WQBUFFER control code (bnc#999932). - CVE-2016-6828: The tcp_check_send_head function in include/net/tcp.h in the Linux kernel did not properly maintain certain SACK state after a failed data copy, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue use-after-free and system crash) via a crafted SACK option (bnc#994296). 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.
