Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Subverting Environment Variable Values
    The attacker directly or indirectly modifies environment variables used by or controlling the target software. The attacker's goal is to cause the target software to deviate from its expected operation in a manner that benefits the attacker.
  • Footprinting
    An attacker engages in probing and exploration activity to identify constituents and properties of the target. Footprinting is a general term to describe a variety of information gathering techniques, often used by attackers in preparation for some attack. It consists of using tools to learn as much as possible about the composition, configuration, and security mechanisms of the targeted application, system or network. Information that might be collected during a footprinting effort could include open ports, applications and their versions, network topology, and similar information. While footprinting is not intended to be damaging (although certain activities, such as network scans, can sometimes cause disruptions to vulnerable applications inadvertently) it may often pave the way for more damaging attacks.
  • Exploiting Trust in Client (aka Make the Client Invisible)
    An attack of this type exploits a programs' vulnerabilities in client/server communication channel authentication and data integrity. It leverages the implicit trust a server places in the client, or more importantly, that which the server believes is the client. An attacker executes this type of attack by placing themselves in the communication channel between client and server such that communication directly to the server is possible where the server believes it is communicating only with a valid client. There are numerous variations of this type of attack.
  • Browser Fingerprinting
    An attacker carefully crafts small snippets of Java Script to efficiently detect the type of browser the potential victim is using. Many web-based attacks need prior knowledge of the web browser including the version of browser to ensure successful exploitation of a vulnerability. Having this knowledge allows an attacker to target the victim with attacks that specifically exploit known or zero day weaknesses in the type and version of the browser used by the victim. Automating this process via Java Script as a part of the same delivery system used to exploit the browser is considered more efficient as the attacker can supply a browser fingerprinting method and integrate it with exploit code, all contained in Java Script and in response to the same web page request by the browser.
  • Session Credential Falsification through Prediction
    This attack targets predictable session ID in order to gain privileges. The attacker can predict the session ID used during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking.

    "Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that
    may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information
    leaks.
    
    CVE-2012-6704, CVE-2016-9793
    
    Eric Dumazet found that a local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability
    could set a socket's buffer size to be negative, leading to a denial
    of service or other security impact. Additionally, in kernel versions
    prior to 3.5, any user could do this if sysctl net.core.rmem_max was
    changed to a very large value.
    
    CVE-2015-1350 / #770492
    
    Ben Harris reported that local users could remove set-capability
    attributes from any file visible to them, allowing a denial of
    service.
    
    CVE-2015-8962
    
    Calvin Owens fouund that removing a SCSI device while it was being
    accessed through the SCSI generic (sg) driver led to a double- free,
    possibly causing a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or
    privilege escalation. This could be exploited by local users with
    permision to access a SCSI device node.
    
    CVE-2015-8963
    
    Sasha Levin reported that hot-unplugging a CPU resulted in a
    use-after-free by the performance events (perf) subsystem, possibly
    causing a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or privilege
    escalation. This could by exploited by any local user.
    
    CVE-2015-8964
    
    It was found that the terminal/serial (tty) subsystem did not reliably
    reset the terminal buffer state when the terminal line discipline was
    changed. This could allow a local user with access to a terminal
    device to read sensitive information from kernel memory.
    
    CVE-2016-7097
    
    Jan Kara found that changing the POSIX ACL of a file never cleared its
    set-group-ID flag, which should be done if the user changing it is not
    a member of the group-owner. In some cases, this would allow the
    user-owner of an executable to gain the privileges of the group-owner.
    
    CVE-2016-7910
    
    Vegard Nossum discovered that a memory allocation failure while
    handling a read of /proc/diskstats or /proc/partitions could lead to a
    use-after-free, possibly causing a denial of service (crash or memory
    corruption) or privilege escalation.
    
    CVE-2016-7911
    
    Dmitry Vyukov reported that a race between ioprio_get() and
    ioprio_set() system calls could result in a use-after-free, possibly
    causing a denial of service (crash) or leaking sensitive information.
    
    CVE-2016-7915
    
    Benjamin Tissoires found that HID devices could trigger an out-of-
    bounds memory access in the HID core. A physically present user could
    possibly use this for denial of service (crash) or to leak sensitive
    information.
    
    CVE-2016-8399
    
    Qidan He reported that the IPv4 ping socket implementation did not
    validate the length of packets to be sent. A user with permisson to
    use ping sockets could cause an out-of-bounds read, possibly resulting
    in a denial of service or information leak. However, on Debian systems
    no users have permission to create ping sockets by default.
    
    CVE-2016-8633
    
    Eyal Itkin reported that the IP-over-Firewire driver (firewire-net)
    did not validate the offset or length in link-layer fragmentation
    headers. This allowed a remote system connected by Firewire to write
    to memory after a packet buffer, leading to a denial of service
    (crash) or remote code execution.
    
    CVE-2016-8645
    
    Marco Grassi reported that if a socket filter (BPF program) attached
    to a TCP socket truncates or removes the TCP header, this could cause
    a denial of service (crash). This was exploitable by any local user.
    
    CVE-2016-8655
    
    Philip Pettersson found that the implementation of packet sockets
    (AF_PACKET family) had a race condition between enabling a transmit
    ring buffer and changing the version of buffers used, which could
    result in a use-after-free. A local user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN
    capability could exploit this for privilege escalation.
    
    CVE-2016-9178
    
    Al Viro found that a failure to read data from user memory might lead
    to a information leak on the x86 architecture (amd64 or i386).
    
    CVE-2016-9555
    
    Andrey Konovalov reported that the SCTP implementation does not
    validate 'out of the blue' packet chunk lengths early enough. A remote
    system able could use this to cause a denial of service (crash) or
    other security impact for systems using SCTP.
    
    CVE-2016-9576, CVE-2016-10088
    
    Dmitry Vyukov reported that using splice() with the SCSI generic
    driver led to kernel memory corruption. Local users with permision to
    access a SCSI device node could exploit this for privilege escalation.
    
    CVE-2016-9756
    
    Dmitry Vyukov reported that KVM for the x86 architecture (amd64 or
    i386) did not correctly handle the failure of certain instructions
    that require software emulation on older processors. This could be
    exploited by guest systems to leak sensitive information or for denial
    of service (log spam).
    
    CVE-2016-9794
    
    Baozeng Ding reported a race condition in the ALSA (sound) subsystem
    that could result in a use-after-free. Local users with access to a
    PCM sound device could exploit this for denial of service (crash or
    memory corruption) or other security impact.
    
    For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version
    3.2.84-1. This version also includes bug fixes from upstream version
    3.2.84 and updates the PREEMPT_RT featureset to version 3.2.84-rt122.
    Finally, this version adds the option to mitigate security issues in
    the performance events (perf) subsystem by disabling use by
    unprivileged users. This can be done by setting sysctl
    kernel.perf_event_paranoid=3.
    
    For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version
    3.16.39-1 which will be included in the next point release (8.6).

    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

    descriptionAccording to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - In the Linux kernel through 4.19, a use-after-free can occur due to a race condition between fanout_add from setsockopt and bind on an AF_PACKET socket. This issue exists because of the 15fe076edea787807a7cdc168df832544b58eba6 incomplete fix for a race condition. The code mishandles a certain multithreaded case involving a packet_do_bind unregister action followed by a packet_notifier register action. Later, packet_release operates on only one of the two applicable linked lists. The attacker can achieve Program Counter control.(CVE-2018-18559i1/4%0 - The acpi_ns_terminate() function in drivers/acpi/acpica/nsutils.c in the Linux kernel before 4.12 does not flush the operand cache and causes a kernel stack dump. A local users could obtain sensitive information from kernel memory and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism (in the kernel through 4.9) via a crafted ACPI table.(CVE-2017-11472i1/4%0 - Race condition in net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel allows local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a multithreaded application that makes PACKET_FANOUT setsockopt system calls.(CVE-2017-6346i1/4%0 - Multiple race conditions in ipc/shm.c in the Linux kernel before 3.12.2 allow local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted application that uses shmctl IPC_RMID operations in conjunction with other shm system calls.(CVE-2013-7026i1/4%0 - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel. A NULL pointer dereference and panic in hfsplus_lookup() in the fs/hfsplus/dir.c function can occur when opening a file (that is purportedly a hard link) in an hfs+ filesystem that has malformed catalog data, and is mounted read-only without a metadata directory.(CVE-2018-14617i1/4%0 - The treo_attach function in drivers/usb/serial/visor.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by inserting a USB device that lacks a (1) bulk-in or (2) interrupt-in endpoint.(CVE-2016-2782i1/4%0 - An information-exposure flaw was found in the Linux kernel where the pcpu_embed_first_chunk() function in mm/percpu.c allows local users to obtain kernel-object address information by reading the kernel log (dmesg). However, this address is not static and cannot be used to commit a further attack.(CVE-2018-5995i1/4%0 - Buffer overflow in net/ceph/auth_x.c in Ceph, as used in the Linux kernel before 3.16.3, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and panic) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long unencrypted auth ticket.(CVE-2014-6416i1/4%0 - It was found that the Linux kernel

        one of the two applicable linked lists. The attacker
        can achieve Program Counter control.(CVE-2018-18559i1/4%0
    
      - The acpi_ns_terminate() function in
        drivers/acpi/acpica/nsutils.c in the Linux kernel
        before 4.12 does not flush the operand cache and causes
        a kernel stack dump. A local users could obtain
        sensitive information from kernel memory and bypass the
        KASLR protection mechanism (in the kernel through 4.9)
        via a crafted ACPI table.(CVE-2017-11472i1/4%0
    
      - Race condition in net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux
        kernel allows local users to cause a denial of service
        (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other
        impact via a multithreaded application that makes
        PACKET_FANOUT setsockopt system calls.(CVE-2017-6346i1/4%0
    
      - Multiple race conditions in ipc/shm.c in the Linux
        kernel before 3.12.2 allow local users to cause a
        denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) or
        possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted
        application that uses shmctl IPC_RMID operations in
        conjunction with other shm system
        calls.(CVE-2013-7026i1/4%0
    
      - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel. A NULL
        pointer dereference and panic in hfsplus_lookup() in
        the fs/hfsplus/dir.c function can occur when opening a
        file (that is purportedly a hard link) in an hfs+
        filesystem that has malformed catalog data, and is
        mounted read-only without a metadata
        directory.(CVE-2018-14617i1/4%0
    
      - The treo_attach function in drivers/usb/serial/visor.c
        in the Linux kernel before 4.5 allows physically
        proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL
        pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have
        unspecified other impact by inserting a USB device that
        lacks a (1) bulk-in or (2) interrupt-in
        endpoint.(CVE-2016-2782i1/4%0
    
      - An information-exposure flaw was found in the Linux
        kernel where the pcpu_embed_first_chunk() function in
        mm/percpu.c allows local users to obtain kernel-object
        address information by reading the kernel log (dmesg).
        However, this address is not static and cannot be used
        to commit a further attack.(CVE-2018-5995i1/4%0
    
      - Buffer overflow in net/ceph/auth_x.c in Ceph, as used
        in the Linux kernel before 3.16.3, allows remote
        attackers to cause a denial of service (memory
        corruption and panic) or possibly have unspecified
        other impact via a long unencrypted auth
        ticket.(CVE-2014-6416i1/4%0
    
      - It was found that the Linux kernel's ptrace subsystem
        allowed a traced process' instruction pointer to be set
        to a non-canonical memory address without forcing the
        non-sysret code path when returning to user space. A
        local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash
        the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges
        on the system.Note: The CVE-2014-4699 issue only
        affected systems using an Intel CPU.(CVE-2014-4699i1/4%0
    
      - The snd_compr_tstamp function in
        sound/core/compress_offload.c in the Linux kernel
        through 4.7, as used in Android before 2016-08-05 on
        Nexus 5 and 7 (2013) devices, does not properly
        initialize a timestamp data structure, which allows
        attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted
        application, aka Android internal bug 28770164 and
        Qualcomm internal bug CR568717.(CVE-2014-9892i1/4%0
    
      - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's ext4
        file system handled the 'page size i1/4z block size'
        condition when the fallocate zero range functionality
        was used. A local attacker could use this flaw to crash
        the system.(CVE-2015-0275i1/4%0
    
      - An information leak flaw was found in the way the Linux
        kernel's ISO9660 file system implementation accessed
        data on an ISO9660 image with RockRidge Extension
        Reference (ER) records. An attacker with physical
        access to the system could use this flaw to disclose up
        to 255 bytes of kernel memory.(CVE-2014-9584i1/4%0
    
      - The pivot_root implementation in fs/namespace.c in the
        Linux kernel through 3.17 does not properly interact
        with certain locations of a chroot directory, which
        allows local users to cause a denial of service
        (mount-tree loop) via . (dot) values in both arguments
        to the pivot_root system call.(CVE-2014-7970i1/4%0
    
      - arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel before
        4.8.12 does not properly initialize Code Segment (CS)
        in certain error cases, which allows local users to
        obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory
        via a crafted application.(CVE-2016-9756i1/4%0
    
      - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel where the
        swiotlb_print_info() function in lib/swiotlb.c allows
        local users to obtain some kernel address information
        by reading the kernel log (dmesg). This address is not
        useful to commit a further attack.(CVE-2018-5953i1/4%0
    
      - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's file
        system implementation handled rename operations in
        which the source was inside and the destination was
        outside of a bind mount. A privileged user inside a
        container could use this flaw to escape the bind mount
        and, potentially, escalate their privileges on the
        system.(CVE-2015-2925i1/4%0
    
      - A use-after-free fault in the Linux kernel's usbtv
        driver could allow an attacker to cause a denial of
        service (system crash), or have unspecified other
        impacts, by triggering failure of audio registration of
        USB hardware using the usbtv kernel
        module.(CVE-2017-17975i1/4%0
    
      - The mm subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.10.10
        does not properly enforce the CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM
        protection mechanism, which allows local users to read
        or write to kernel memory locations in the first
        megabyte (and bypass slab-allocation access
        restrictions) via an application that opens the
        /dev/mem file, related to arch/x86/mm/init.c and
        drivers/char/mem.c.(CVE-2017-7889i1/4%0
    
      - A flaw was discovered in the way the kernel allows
        stackable filesystems to overlay. A local attacker who
        is able to mount filesystems can abuse this flaw to
        escalate privileges.(CVE-2014-9922i1/4%0
    
      - sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4.1
        retains certain linked lists after a close or stop
        action, which allows local users to cause a denial of
        service (system crash) via a crafted ioctl call,
        related to the (1) snd_timer_close and (2)
        _snd_timer_stop functions.(CVE-2016-2548i1/4%0

    descriptionDmitry Vyukov discovered that the KVM implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize the Code Segment (CS) in certain error cases. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2016-9756) Andrey Konovalov discovered that signed integer overflows existed in the setsockopt() system call when handling the SO_SNDBUFFORCE and SO_RCVBUFFORCE options. A local attacker with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash or memory corruption). (CVE-2016-9793) Baozeng Ding discovered a race condition that could lead to a use-after- free in the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) subsystem of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2016-9794) Baozeng Ding discovered a double free in the netlink_dump() function in the Linux kernel.

    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. This is the last planned LTSS kernel update for the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2 LTSS. The following security bugs were fixed : - 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 out of bounds read in the ping protocol handler could have lead to information disclosure (bsc#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 3.x provides an incomplete set of requirements for setattr operations that underspecified 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 before 4.8.7, 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 kernel 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-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-2017-5551: 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. This CVE tracks the fix for the tmpfs filesystem. (bsc#1021258). - 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, aka Android internal bug 25739721 (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). - CVE-2016-6480: Race condition in the ioctl_send_fib function in drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access or system crash) by changing a certain size value, aka a

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). -
