Summary

The assoc_array_insert_into_terminal_node function in lib/assoc_array.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.3 does not check whether a slot is a leaf, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference and out-of-bounds read) via an application that uses associative-array data structures, as demonstrated by the keyutils test suite.

"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) :

* 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,

    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1 kernel was updated to 3.12.69 to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed : - 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-2015-8963: Race condition in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging incorrect handling of an swevent data structure during a CPU unplug operation (bnc#1010502). - 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-2016-10088: 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-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-2016-7913: The xc2028_set_config function in drivers/media/tuners/tuner-xc2028.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via vectors involving omission of the firmware name from a certain data structure (bnc#1010478). - CVE-2016-7914: The assoc_array_insert_into_terminal_node function in lib/assoc_array.c in the Linux kernel did not check whether a slot is a leaf, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference and out-of-bounds read) via an application that uses associative-array data structures, as demonstrated by the keyutils test suite (bnc#1010475). - CVE-2016-8399: An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the kernel networking subsystem could enable a local malicious application to execute arbitrary code within the context of the kernel. This issue is rated as Moderate because it first requires compromising a privileged process and current compiler optimizations restrict access to the vulnerable code. Product: Android. Versions: Kernel-3.10, Kernel-3.18. Android ID: A-31349935 (bnc#1014746). - 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-2016-8645: The TCP stack in the Linux kernel mishandled skb truncation, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted application that made sendto system calls, related to net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c and net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c (bnc#1009969). - CVE-2016-9083: drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to bypass integer overflow checks, and cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or have unspecified other impact, by leveraging access to a vfio PCI device file for a VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS ioctl call, aka a

"The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1 kernel was updated to 3.12.69 to
receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs
were fixed :

  - 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-2015-8963: Race condition in kernel/events/core.c in
    the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges
    or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by
    leveraging incorrect handling of an swevent data
    structure during a CPU unplug operation (bnc#1010502).

  - 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-2016-10088: 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-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-2016-7913: The xc2028_set_config function in
    drivers/media/tuners/tuner-xc2028.c in the Linux kernel
    allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial
    of service (use-after-free) via vectors involving
    omission of the firmware name from a certain data
    structure (bnc#1010478).

  - CVE-2016-7914: The assoc_array_insert_into_terminal_node
    function in lib/assoc_array.c in the Linux kernel did
    not check whether a slot is a leaf, which allowed local
    users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory
    or cause a denial of service (invalid pointer
    dereference and out-of-bounds read) via an application
    that uses associative-array data structures, as
    demonstrated by the keyutils test suite (bnc#1010475).

  - CVE-2016-8399: An elevation of privilege vulnerability
    in the kernel networking subsystem could enable a local
    malicious application to execute arbitrary code within
    the context of the kernel. This issue is rated as
    Moderate because it first requires compromising a
    privileged process and current compiler optimizations
    restrict access to the vulnerable code. Product:
    Android. Versions: Kernel-3.10, Kernel-3.18. Android ID:
    A-31349935 (bnc#1014746).

  - 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-2016-8645: The TCP stack in the Linux kernel
    mishandled skb truncation, which allowed local users to
    cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted
    application that made sendto system calls, related to
    net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c and net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c
    (bnc#1009969).

  - CVE-2016-9083: drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci.c in the Linux
    kernel allowed local users to bypass integer overflow
    checks, and cause a denial of service (memory
    corruption) or have unspecified other impact, by
    leveraging access to a vfio PCI device file for a
    VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS ioctl call, aka a 'state machine
    confusion bug' (bnc#1007197).

  - CVE-2016-9084: drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_intrs.c in the
    Linux kernel misuses the kzalloc function, which allowed
    local users to cause a denial of service (integer
    overflow) or have unspecified other impact by leveraging
    access to a vfio PCI device file (bnc#1007197).

  - 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-2016-9793: 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
    1013542).

  - CVE-2016-9806: Race condition in the netlink_dump
    function in net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel
    allowed local users to cause a denial of service (double
    free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a
    crafted application that made sendmsg system calls,
    leading to a free operation associated with a new dump
    that started earlier than anticipated (bnc#1013540
    1017589).

  - CVE-2017-2584: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux
    kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive
    information from kernel memory or cause a denial of
    service (use-after-free) via a crafted application that
    leverages instruction emulation for fxrstor, fxsave,
    sgdt, and sidt (bsc#1019851).

  - CVE-2017-2583: Fixed broken emulation of 'MOV SS, null
    selector' (bsc#1020602).

  - CVE-2017-5551: Clear SGID bit when setting file
    permissions on tmpfs (bsc#1021258).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for
details.

    descriptionAccording to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - Use-after-free vulnerability in the disk_seqf_stop function in block/genhd.c in the Linux kernel before 4.7.1 allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging the execution of a certain stop operation even if the corresponding start operation had failed.(CVE-2016-7910) - Race condition in the get_task_ioprio function in block/ioprio.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6.6 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted ioprio_get system call.(CVE-2016-7911) - The assoc_array_insert_into_terminal_node function in lib/assoc_array.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.3 does not check whether a slot is a leaf, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference and out-of-bounds read) via an application that uses associative-array data structures, as demonstrated by the keyutils test suite.(CVE-2016-7914) - The IPv6 stack in the Linux kernel before 4.3.3 mishandles options data, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) via a crafted sendmsg system call.(CVE-2016-3841) - Race condition in the environ_read function in fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.4 allows 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.(CVE-2016-7916) Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

    descriptionThe openSUSE 13.2 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed : - 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-2015-8963: Race condition in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging incorrect handling of an swevent data structure during a CPU unplug operation (bnc#1010502). - CVE-2016-7042: The proc_keys_show function in security/keys/proc.c in the Linux kernel through 4.8.2, when the GNU Compiler Collection (gcc) stack protector is enabled, uses 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-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-2016-7913: The xc2028_set_config function in drivers/media/tuners/tuner-xc2028.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via vectors involving omission of the firmware name from a certain data structure (bnc#1010478). - CVE-2016-7914: The assoc_array_insert_into_terminal_node function in lib/assoc_array.c in the Linux kernel did not check whether a slot is a leaf, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference and out-of-bounds read) via an application that uses associative-array data structures, as demonstrated by the keyutils test suite (bnc#1010475). - 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-2016-8633: drivers/firewire/net.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.7, in certain unusual hardware configurations, allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted fragmented packets (bnc#1008833). - 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-2016-8655: A race condition in the af_packet packet_set_ring function could be used by local attackers to crash the kernel or gain privileges (bsc#1012754). - CVE-2016-9555: The sctp_sf_ootb function in net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c in the Linux kernel lacks 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). The following non-security bugs were fixed : - bna: Add synchronization for tx ring (bsc#993739). - bonding: set carrier off for devices created through netlink (bsc#999577). - btrfs: fix extent tree corruption due to relocation (bsc#990384). - introduce NETIF_F_GSO_ENCAP_ALL helper mask (bsc#1001486). - ipv6: send NEWLINK on RA managed/otherconf changes (bsc#934067). - ipv6: send only one NEWLINK when RA causes changes (bsc#934067). - tunnels: Remove encapsulation offloads on decap (bsc#1001486). - usbhid: add ATEN CS962 to list of quirky devices (bsc#1007615). - vmxnet3: Wake queue from reset work (bsc#999907).
