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).

    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

    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'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

    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

    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.

This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Dmitry 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). Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
