The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix(es) : * An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of instructions past bounds check. The flaw relies on the presence of a precisely-defined instruction sequence in the privileged code and the fact that memory writes occur to an address which depends on the untrusted value. Such writes cause an update into the microprocessor last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 127633 published 2019-08-12 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2019-2020 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/127633 title RHEL 7 : kernel (RHSA-2019:1946) NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id SUSE_SU-2017-2847-1.NASL description The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP3 kernel was updated to 4.4.92 to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed : - CVE-2017-1000252: The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service (assertion failure, and hypervisor hang or crash) via an out-of bounds guest_irq value, related to arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c and virt/kvm/eventfd.c (bnc#1058038). - CVE-2017-11472: The acpi_ns_terminate() function in drivers/acpi/acpica/nsutils.c in the Linux kernel did not flush the operand cache and causes a kernel stack dump, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism (in the kernel through 4.9) via a crafted ACPI table (bnc#1049580). - CVE-2017-12134: The xen_biovec_phys_mergeable function in drivers/xen/biomerge.c in Xen might allow local OS guest users to corrupt block device data streams and consequently obtain sensitive memory information, cause a denial of service, or gain host OS privileges by leveraging incorrect block IO merge-ability calculation (bnc#1051790 bsc#1053919). - CVE-2017-12153: A security flaw was discovered in the nl80211_set_rekey_data() function in net/wireless/nl80211.c in the Linux kernel This function did not check whether the required attributes are present in a Netlink request. This request can be issued by a user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability and may result in a NULL pointer dereference and system crash (bnc#1058410). - CVE-2017-12154: The prepare_vmcs02 function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel did not ensure that the last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 104171 published 2017-10-26 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2017-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/104171 title SUSE SLED12 / SLES12 Security Update : kernel (SUSE-SU-2017:2847-1) (KRACK) NASL family NewStart CGSL Local Security Checks NASL id NEWSTART_CGSL_NS-SA-2019-0070_KERNEL.NASL description The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities: - Integer overflow in the aio_setup_single_vector function in fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel 4.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a large AIO iovec. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a CVE-2012-6701 regression. (CVE-2015-8830) - A weakness was found in the Linux ASLR implementation. Any user able to running 32-bit applications in a x86 machine can disable ASLR by setting the RLIMIT_STACK resource to unlimited. (CVE-2016-3672) - The xc2028_set_config function in drivers/media/tuners/tuner-xc2028.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6 allows 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. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2016-7913) - Use-after-free vulnerability in the snd_pcm_info() function in the ALSA subsystem in the Linux kernel allows attackers to induce a kernel memory corruption and possibly crash or lock up a system. Due to the nature of the flaw, a privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2017-0861) - A reachable assertion failure flaw was found in the Linux kernel built with KVM virtualisation(CONFIG_KVM) support with Virtual Function I/O feature (CONFIG_VFIO) enabled. This failure could occur if a malicious guest device sent a virtual interrupt (guest IRQ) with a larger (>1024) index value. (CVE-2017-1000252) - Linux kernel Virtualization Module (CONFIG_KVM) for the Intel processor family (CONFIG_KVM_INTEL) is vulnerable to a DoS issue. It could occur if a guest was to flood the I/O port 0x80 with write requests. A guest user could use this flaw to crash the host kernel resulting in DoS. (CVE-2017-1000407) - A flaw was found in the processing of incoming L2CAP bluetooth commands. Uninitialized stack variables can be sent to an attacker leaking data in kernel address space.

CVE-2017-7482 Shi Lei discovered that RxRPC Kerberos 5 ticket handling code does not properly verify metadata, leading to information disclosure, denial of service or potentially execution of arbitrary code. CVE-2017-7542 An integer overflow vulnerability in the ip6_find_1stfragopt() function was found allowing a local attacker with privileges to open raw sockets to cause a denial of service. CVE-2017-7889 Tommi Rantala and Brad Spengler reported that the mm subsystem does not properly enforce the CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM protection mechanism, allowing a local attacker with access to /dev/mem to obtain sensitive information or potentially execute arbitrary code. CVE-2017-10661 Dmitry Vyukov of Google reported that the timerfd facility does not properly handle certain concurrent operations on a single file descriptor. This allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service or potentially to execute arbitrary code. CVE-2017-10911 / XSA-216 Anthony Perard of Citrix discovered an information leak flaw in Xen blkif response handling, allowing a malicious unprivileged guest to obtain sensitive information from the host or other guests. CVE-2017-11176 It was discovered that the mq_notify() function does not set the sock pointer to NULL upon entry into the retry logic. An attacker can take advantage of this flaw during a userspace close of a Netlink socket to cause a denial of service or potentially cause other impact. CVE-2017-11600 bo Zhang reported that the xfrm subsystem does not properly validate one of the parameters to a netlink message. Local users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability can use this to cause a denial of service or potentially to execute arbitrary code. CVE-2017-12134 / #866511 / XSA-229 Jan H. Schönherr of Amazon discovered that when Linux is running in a Xen PV domain on an x86 system, it may incorrectly merge block I/O requests. A buggy or malicious guest may trigger this bug in dom0 or a PV driver domain, causing a denial of service or potentially execution of arbitrary code. This issue can be mitigated by disabling merges on the underlying back-end block devices, e.g.: echo 2 > /sys/block/nvme0n1/queue/nomerges CVE-2017-12153 bo Zhang reported that the cfg80211 (wifi) subsystem does not properly validate the parameters to a netlink message. Local users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability on a system with a wifi device can use this to cause a denial of service. CVE-2017-12154 Jim Mattson of Google reported that the KVM implementation for Intel x86 processors did not correctly handle certain nested hypervisor configurations. A malicious guest (or nested guest in a suitable L1 hypervisor) could use this for denial of service. CVE-2017-14106 Andrey Konovalov of Google reported that a specific sequence of operations on a TCP socket could lead to division by zero. A local user could use this for denial of service. CVE-2017-14140 Otto Ebeling reported that the move_pages() system call permitted users to discover the memory layout of a set-UID process running under their real user-ID. This made it easier for local users to exploit vulnerabilities in programs installed with the set-UID permission bit set.

These calculations can create an issue where the kernel memory allocator will not allocate the correct count of pages yet expect them to be usable. This can lead to the ftrace() output to appear to corrupt kernel memory and possibly be used for privileged escalation or more likely kernel panic.(CVE-2016-9754) - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel last seen 2020-06-12 modified 2019-05-13 plugin id 124821 published 2019-05-13 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2019-2020 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/124821 title EulerOS Virtualization 3.0.1.0 : kernel (EulerOS-SA-2019-1498) NASL family Amazon Linux Local Security Checks NASL id ALA_ALAS-2017-914.NASL description stack buffer overflow in the native Bluetooth stack A stack buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the Bluetooth subsystem of the Linux kernel processed pending L2CAP configuration responses from a client. On systems with the stack protection feature enabled in the kernel (CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y, which is enabled on all architectures other than s390x and ppc64[le]), an unauthenticated attacker able to initiate a connection to a system via Bluetooth could use this flaw to crash the system. Due to the nature of the stack protection feature, code execution cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely. On systems without the stack protection feature (ppc64[le]; the Bluetooth modules are not built on s390x), an unauthenticated attacker able to initiate a connection to a system via Bluetooth could use this flaw to remotely execute arbitrary code on the system with ring 0 (kernel) privileges. (CVE-2017-1000251) dereferencing NULL payload with nonzero length A flaw was found in the implementation of associative arrays where the add_key systemcall and KEYCTL_UPDATE operations allowed for a NULL payload with a nonzero length. When accessing the payload within this length parameters value, an unprivileged user could trivially cause a NULL pointer dereference (kernel oops). (CVE-2017-15274) xfs: unprivileged user kernel oops A flaw was found where the XFS filesystem code mishandles a user-settable inode flag in the Linux kernel prior to 4.14-rc1. This can cause a local denial of service via a kernel panic.(CVE-2017-14340) Information leak in the scsi driver The sg_ioctl() function in last seen 2020-06-05 modified 2017-10-27 plugin id 104180 published 2017-10-27 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2017-2020 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/104180 title Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2017-914) (BlueBorne) NASL family Scientific Linux Local Security Checks NASL id SL_20180410_KERNEL_ON_SL7_X.NASL description Security Fix(es) : - hw: cpu: speculative execution permission faults handling (CVE-2017-5754, Important, KVM for Power) - kernel: Buffer overflow in firewire driver via crafted incoming packets (CVE-2016-8633, Important) - kernel: Use-after-free vulnerability in DCCP socket (CVE-2017-8824, Important) - Kernel: kvm: nVMX: L2 guest could access hardware(L0) CR8 register (CVE-2017-12154, Important) - kernel: v4l2: disabled memory access protection mechanism allowing privilege escalation (CVE-2017-13166, Important) - kernel: media: use-after-free in [tuner-xc2028] media driver (CVE-2016-7913, Moderate) - kernel: drm/vmwgfx: fix integer overflow in vmw_surface_define_ioctl() (CVE-2017-7294, Moderate) - kernel: Incorrect type conversion for size during dma allocation (CVE-2017-9725, Moderate) - kernel: memory leak when merging buffers in SCSI IO vectors (CVE-2017-12190, Moderate) - kernel: vfs: BUG in truncate_inode_pages_range() and fuse client (CVE-2017-15121, Moderate) - kernel: Use-after-free in userfaultfd_event_wait_completion function in userfaultfd.c (CVE-2017-15126, Moderate) - kernel: net: double-free and memory corruption in get_net_ns_by_id() (CVE-2017-15129, Moderate) - kernel: Use-after-free in snd_seq_ioctl_create_port() (CVE-2017-15265, Moderate) - kernel: Missing capabilities check in net/netfilter/nfnetlink_cthelper.c allows for unprivileged access to systemwide nfnl_cthelper_list structure (CVE-2017-17448, Moderate) - kernel: Missing namespace check in net/netlink/af_netlink.c allows for network monitors to observe systemwide activity (CVE-2017-17449, Moderate) - kernel: Unallocated memory access by malicious USB device via bNumInterfaces overflow (CVE-2017-17558, Moderate) - kernel: netfilter: use-after-free in tcpmss_mangle_packet function in net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c (CVE-2017-18017, Moderate) - kernel: Race condition in drivers/md/dm.c:dm_get_from_kobject() allows local users to cause a denial of service (CVE-2017-18203, Moderate) - kernel: kvm: Reachable BUG() on out-of-bounds guest IRQ (CVE-2017-1000252, Moderate) - Kernel: KVM: DoS via write flood to I/O port 0x80 (CVE-2017-1000407, Moderate) - kernel: Stack information leak in the EFS element (CVE-2017-1000410, Moderate) - kernel: Kernel address information leak in drivers/acpi/sbshc.c:acpi_smbus_hc_add() function potentially allowing KASLR bypass (CVE-2018-5750, Moderate) - kernel: Race condition in sound system can lead to denial of service (CVE-2018-1000004, Moderate) - kernel: multiple Low security impact security issues (CVE-2016-3672, CVE-2017-14140, CVE-2017-15116, CVE-2017-15127, CVE-2018-6927, Low) Additional Changes : last seen 2020-03-18 modified 2018-05-01 plugin id 109449 published 2018-05-01 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2018-2020 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/109449 title Scientific Linux Security Update : kernel on SL7.x x86_64 (20180410) (Meltdown) NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id SUSE_SU-2017-2869-1.NASL description The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 kernel was updated to 4.4.90 to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed : - CVE-2017-1000252: The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service (assertion failure, and hypervisor hang or crash) via an out-of bounds guest_irq value, related to arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c and virt/kvm/eventfd.c (bnc#1058038). - CVE-2017-10810: Memory leak in the virtio_gpu_object_create function in drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/virtgpu_object.c in the Linux kernel allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering object-initialization failures (bnc#1047277). - CVE-2017-11472: The acpi_ns_terminate() function in drivers/acpi/acpica/nsutils.c in the Linux kernel did not flush the operand cache and causes a kernel stack dump, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism (in the kernel through 4.9) via a crafted ACPI table (bnc#1049580). - CVE-2017-11473: Buffer overflow in the mp_override_legacy_irq() function in arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges via a crafted ACPI table (bnc#1049603). - CVE-2017-12134: The xen_biovec_phys_mergeable function in drivers/xen/biomerge.c in Xen might allow local OS guest users to corrupt block device data streams and consequently obtain sensitive memory information, cause a denial of service, or gain host OS privileges by leveraging incorrect block IO merge-ability calculation (bnc#1051790 bnc#1053919). - CVE-2017-12153: A security flaw was discovered in the nl80211_set_rekey_data() function in net/wireless/nl80211.c in the Linux kernel This function did not check whether the required attributes are present in a Netlink request.

NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a CVE-2012-6701 regression. (CVE-2015-8830) - A weakness was found in the Linux ASLR implementation. Any user able to running 32-bit applications in a x86 machine can disable ASLR by setting the RLIMIT_STACK resource to unlimited. (CVE-2016-3672) - The xc2028_set_config function in drivers/media/tuners/tuner-xc2028.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6 allows 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. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2016-7913) - Use-after-free vulnerability in the snd_pcm_info() function in the ALSA subsystem in the Linux kernel allows attackers to induce a kernel memory corruption and possibly crash or lock up a system. Due to the nature of the flaw, a privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2017-0861) - A reachable assertion failure flaw was found in the Linux kernel built with KVM virtualisation(CONFIG_KVM) support with Virtual Function I/O feature (CONFIG_VFIO) enabled. This failure could occur if a malicious guest device sent a virtual interrupt (guest IRQ) with a larger (>1024) index value. (CVE-2017-1000252) - Linux kernel Virtualization Module (CONFIG_KVM) for the Intel processor family (CONFIG_KVM_INTEL) is vulnerable to a DoS issue. It could occur if a guest was to flood the I/O port 0x80 with write requests. A guest user could use this flaw to crash the host kernel resulting in DoS. (CVE-2017-1000407) - A flaw was found in the processing of incoming L2CAP bluetooth commands. Uninitialized stack variables can be sent to an attacker leaking data in kernel address space. (CVE-2017-1000410) - A race condition was found in the Linux kernel before version 4.11-rc1 in last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 127281 published 2019-08-12 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/127281 title NewStart CGSL CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04 : kernel-rt Multiple Vulnerabilities (NS-SA-2019-0074)
