Summary

Race condition in the audit_log_single_execve_arg function in kernel/auditsc.c in the Linux kernel through 4.7 allows local users to bypass intended character-set restrictions or disrupt system-call auditing by changing a certain string, aka a "double fetch" vulnerability.

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.

    "The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 4.05, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple
    vulnerabilities:
    
      - It was found that the fix for CVE-2016-9576 was
        incomplete: the Linux kernel's sg implementation did not
        properly restrict write operations in situations where
        the KERNEL_DS option is set. A local attacker to read or
        write to arbitrary kernel memory locations or cause a
        denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging write
        access to a /dev/sg device. (CVE-2016-10088)
    
      - When creating audit records for parameters to executed
        children processes, an attacker can convince the Linux
        kernel audit subsystem can create corrupt records which
        may allow an attacker to misrepresent or evade logging
        of executing commands. (CVE-2016-6136)
    
      - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of
        seq_file where a local attacker could manipulate memory
        in the put() function pointer. This could lead to memory
        corruption and possible privileged escalation.
        (CVE-2016-7910)
    
      - It was found that the blk_rq_map_user_iov() function in
        the Linux kernel's block device implementation did not
        properly restrict the type of iterator, which could
        allow a local attacker to read or write to arbitrary
        kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service
        (use-after-free) by leveraging write access to a /dev/sg
        device. (CVE-2016-9576)
    
      - A stack buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the
        Bluetooth subsystem of the Linux kernel processed
        pending L2CAP configuration responses from a client. On
        systems with the stack protection feature enabled in the
        kernel (CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y, which is enabled on
        all architectures other than s390x and ppc64[le]), an
        unauthenticated attacker able to initiate a connection
        to a system via Bluetooth could use this flaw to crash
        the system. Due to the nature of the stack protection
        feature, code execution cannot be fully ruled out,
        although we believe it is unlikely. On systems without
        the stack protection feature (ppc64[le]; the Bluetooth
        modules are not built on s390x), an unauthenticated
        attacker able to initiate a connection to a system via
        Bluetooth could use this flaw to remotely execute
        arbitrary code on the system with ring 0 (kernel)
        privileges. (CVE-2017-1000251)
    
      - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel loaded ELF
        executables. Provided that an application was built as
        Position Independent Executable (PIE), the loader could
        allow part of that application's data segment to map
        over the memory area reserved for its stack, potentially
        resulting in memory corruption. An unprivileged local
        user with access to SUID (or otherwise privileged) PIE
        binary could use this flaw to escalate their privileges
        on the system. (CVE-2017-1000253)
    
      - A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux
        kernel's Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP)
        implementation freed SKB (socket buffer) resources for a
        DCCP_PKT_REQUEST packet when the IPV6_RECVPKTINFO option
        is set on the socket. A local, unprivileged user could
        use this flaw to alter the kernel memory, allowing them
        to escalate their privileges on the system.

    The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
    operating system.
    
    Security Fix(es) :
    
    * It was found that the Linux kernel's IPv6 implementation mishandled
    socket options. A local attacker could abuse concurrent access to the
    socket options to escalate their privileges, or cause a denial of
    service (use-after-free and system crash) via a crafted sendmsg system
    call. (CVE-2016-3841, Important)
    
    * Several Moderate and Low impact security issues were found in the
    Linux kernel. Space precludes documenting each of these issues in this
    advisory. Refer to the CVE links in the References section for a
    description of each of these vulnerabilities. (CVE-2013-4312,

(CVE-2016-6136) It was discovered that the powerpc and powerpc64 hypervisor-mode KVM implementation in the Linux kernel for did not properly maintain state about transactional memory. An unprivileged attacker in a guest could cause a denial of service (CPU lockup) in the host OS.

    descriptionThis update fixes the CVEs described below. CVE-2016-3857 Chiachih Wu reported two bugs in the ARM OABI compatibility layer that can be used by local users for privilege escalation. The OABI compatibility layer is enabled in all kernel flavours for armel and armhf. CVE-2016-4470 Wade Mealing of the Red Hat Product Security Team reported that in some error cases the KEYS subsystem will dereference an uninitialised pointer. A local user can use the keyctl() system call for denial of service (crash) or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2016-5696 Yue Cao, Zhiyun Qian, Zhongjie Wang, Tuan Dao, and Srikanth V.

    descriptionMarco Grassi discovered a use-after-free condition could occur in the TCP retransmit queue handling code in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-6828) Pengfei Wang discovered a race condition in the audit subsystem in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to corrupt audit logs or disrupt system-call auditing. (CVE-2016-6136) Pengfei Wang discovered a race condition in the Adaptec AAC RAID controller driver in the Linux kernel when handling ioctl()s. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2016-6480). Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
