Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Server Side Include (SSI) Injection
    An attacker can use Server Side Include (SSI) Injection to send code to a web application that then gets executed by the web server. Doing so enables the attacker to achieve similar results to Cross Site Scripting, viz., arbitrary code execution and information disclosure, albeit on a more limited scale, since the SSI directives are nowhere near as powerful as a full-fledged scripting language. Nonetheless, the attacker can conveniently gain access to sensitive files, such as password files, and execute shell commands.
  • Cross Zone Scripting
    An attacker is able to cause a victim to load content into their web-browser that bypasses security zone controls and gain access to increased privileges to execute scripting code or other web objects such as unsigned ActiveX controls or applets. This is a privilege elevation attack targeted at zone-based web-browser security. In a zone-based model, pages belong to one of a set of zones corresponding to the level of privilege assigned to that page. Pages in an untrusted zone would have a lesser level of access to the system and/or be restricted in the types of executable content it was allowed to invoke. In a cross-zone scripting attack, a page that should be assigned to a less privileged zone is granted the privileges of a more trusted zone. This can be accomplished by exploiting bugs in the browser, exploiting incorrect configuration in the zone controls, through a cross-site scripting attack that causes the attackers' content to be treated as coming from a more trusted page, or by leveraging some piece of system functionality that is accessible from both the trusted and less trusted zone. This attack differs from "Restful Privilege Escalation" in that the latter correlates to the inadequate securing of RESTful access methods (such as HTTP DELETE) on the server, while cross-zone scripting attacks the concept of security zones as implemented by a browser.
  • Cross Site Scripting through Log Files
    An attacker may leverage a system weakness where logs are susceptible to log injection to insert scripts into the system's logs. If these logs are later viewed by an administrator through a thin administrative interface and the log data is not properly HTML encoded before being written to the page, the attackers' scripts stored in the log will be executed in the administrative interface with potentially serious consequences. This attack pattern is really a combination of two other attack patterns: log injection and stored cross site scripting.
  • Command Line Execution through SQL Injection
    An attacker uses standard SQL injection methods to inject data into the command line for execution. This could be done directly through misuse of directives such as MSSQL_xp_cmdshell or indirectly through injection of data into the database that would be interpreted as shell commands. Sometime later, an unscrupulous backend application (or could be part of the functionality of the same application) fetches the injected data stored in the database and uses this data as command line arguments without performing proper validation. The malicious data escapes that data plane by spawning new commands to be executed on the host.

    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP4 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. This update adds mitigations for various side channel attacks against modern CPUs that could disclose content of otherwise unreadable memory (bnc#1068032). - CVE-2017-5753: Local attackers on systems with modern CPUs featuring deep instruction pipelining could use attacker controllable speculative execution over code patterns in the Linux Kernel to leak content from otherwise not readable memory in the same address space, allowing retrieval of passwords, cryptographic keys and other secrets. This problem is mitigated by adding speculative fencing on affected code paths throughout the Linux kernel. This issue is addressed for the x86_64, the IBM Power and IBM zSeries architecture. - CVE-2017-5715: Local attackers on systems with modern CPUs featuring branch prediction could use mispredicted branches to speculatively execute code patterns that in turn could be made to leak other non-readable content in the same address space, an attack similar to CVE-2017-5753. This problem is mitigated by disabling predictive branches, depending on CPU architecture either by firmware updates and/or fixes in the user-kernel privilege boundaries. This is done with help of Linux Kernel fixes on the Intel/AMD x86_64 and IBM zSeries architectures. On x86_64, this requires also updates of the CPU microcode packages, delivered in separate updates.

"The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP4 kernel was updated to receive various
security and bugfixes. This update adds mitigations for various side
channel attacks against modern CPUs that could disclose content of
otherwise unreadable memory (bnc#1068032).

  - CVE-2017-5753: Local attackers on systems with modern
    CPUs featuring deep instruction pipelining could use
    attacker controllable speculative execution over code
    patterns in the Linux Kernel to leak content from
    otherwise not readable memory in the same address space,
    allowing retrieval of passwords, cryptographic keys and
    other secrets. This problem is mitigated by adding
    speculative fencing on affected code paths throughout
    the Linux kernel. This issue is addressed for the
    x86_64, the IBM Power and IBM zSeries architecture.

  - CVE-2017-5715: Local attackers on systems with modern
    CPUs featuring branch prediction could use mispredicted
    branches to speculatively execute code patterns that in
    turn could be made to leak other non-readable content in
    the same address space, an attack similar to
    CVE-2017-5753. This problem is mitigated by disabling
    predictive branches, depending on CPU architecture
    either by firmware updates and/or fixes in the
    user-kernel privilege boundaries. This is done with help
    of Linux Kernel fixes on the Intel/AMD x86_64 and IBM
    zSeries architectures. On x86_64, this requires also
    updates of the CPU microcode packages, delivered in
    separate updates. For IBM Power and zSeries the required
    firmware updates are supplied over regular channels by
    IBM. As this feature can have a performance impact, it
    can be disabled using the 'nospec' kernel commandline
    option.

  - CVE-2017-5754: Local attackers on systems with modern
    CPUs featuring deep instruction pipelining could use
    code patterns in userspace to speculative executive code
    that would read otherwise read protected memory, an
    attack similar to CVE-2017-5753. This problem is
    mitigated by unmapping the Linux Kernel from the user
    address space during user code execution, following a
    approach called 'KAISER'. The terms used here are
    'KAISER' / 'Kernel Address Isolation' and 'PTI' / 'Page
    Table Isolation'. This update does this on the Intel
    x86_64 and IBM Power architecture. Updates are also
    necessary for the ARM architecture, but will be
    delivered in the next round of updates. This feature can
    be enabled / disabled by the 'pti=[on|off|auto]' or
    'nopti' commandline options. The following security bugs
    were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-17806: The HMAC implementation (crypto/hmac.c)
    in the Linux kernel did not validate that the underlying
    cryptographic hash algorithm is unkeyed, allowing a
    local attacker able to use the AF_ALG-based hash
    interface (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH) and the SHA-3
    hash algorithm (CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA3) to cause a kernel
    stack-based buffer overflow by executing a crafted
    sequence of system calls that encounter a missing SHA-3
    initialization (bnc#1073874).

  - CVE-2017-17805: The Salsa20 encryption algorithm in the
    Linux kernel did not correctly handle zero-length
    inputs, allowing a local attacker able to use the
    AF_ALG-based skcipher interface
    (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER) to cause a denial of
    service (uninitialized-memory free and kernel crash) or
    have unspecified other impact by executing a crafted
    sequence of system calls that use the blkcipher_walk
    API. Both the generic implementation
    (crypto/salsa20_generic.c) and x86 implementation
    (arch/x86/crypto/salsa20_glue.c) of Salsa20 were
    vulnerable (bnc#1073792).

  - CVE-2017-15868: The bnep_add_connection function in
    net/bluetooth/bnep/core.c in the Linux kernel did not
    ensure that an l2cap socket is available, which allowed
    local users to gain privileges via a crafted application
    (bnc#1071470).

  - CVE-2017-13167: An elevation of privilege vulnerability
    in the kernel sound timer. (bnc#1072876).

  - CVE-2017-16538: drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb-v2/lmedm04.c
    in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a
    denial of service (general protection fault and system
    crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a
    crafted USB device, related to a missing warm-start
    check and incorrect attach timing
    (dm04_lme2510_frontend_attach versus dm04_lme2510_tuner)
    (bnc#1066569).

  - CVE-2017-17558: The usb_destroy_configuration function
    in drivers/usb/core/config.c in the USB core subsystem
    in the Linux kernel did not consider the maximum number
    of configurations and interfaces before attempting to
    release resources, which allowed local users to cause a
    denial of service (out-of-bounds write access) or
    possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB
    device (bnc#1072561).

  - CVE-2017-17450: net/netfilter/xt_osf.c in the Linux
    kernel did not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for
    add_callback and remove_callback operations, which
    allowed local users to bypass intended access
    restrictions because the xt_osf_fingers data structure
    is shared across all net namespaces (bnc#1071695).

  - CVE-2017-8824: The dccp_disconnect function in
    net/dccp/proto.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users
    to gain privileges or cause a denial of service
    (use-after-free) via an AF_UNSPEC connect system call
    during the DCCP_LISTEN state (bnc#1070771).

  - CVE-2017-16939: The XFRM dump policy implementation in
    net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c in the Linux kernel allowed local
    users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service
    (use-after-free) via a crafted SO_RCVBUF setsockopt
    system call in conjunction with XFRM_MSG_GETPOLICY
    Netlink messages (bnc#1069702).

  - CVE-2017-15115: The sctp_do_peeloff function in
    net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel did not check
    whether the intended netns is used in a peel-off action,
    which allowed local users to cause a denial of service
    (use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have
    unspecified other impact via crafted system calls
    (bnc#1068671).

  - CVE-2017-14106: The tcp_disconnect function in
    net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users
    to cause a denial of service (__tcp_select_window
    divide-by-zero error and system crash) by triggering a
    disconnect within a certain tcp_recvmsg code path
    (bnc#1056982).

  - CVE-2017-11600: net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c in the Linux
    kernel through 4.12.3, when CONFIG_XFRM_MIGRATE is
    enabled, did not ensure that the dir value of
    xfrm_userpolicy_id is XFRM_POLICY_MAX or less, which
    allowed local users to cause a denial of service
    (out-of-bounds access) or possibly have unspecified
    other impact via an XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE xfrm Netlink
    message (bnc#1050231).

  - CVE-2017-7472: The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel
    allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory
    consumption) via a series of
    KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_THREAD_KEYRING keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring
    calls (bnc#1034862).

  - CVE-2017-16534: The cdc_parse_cdc_header function in
    drivers/usb/core/message.c in the Linux kernel allowed
    local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds
    read and system crash) or possibly have unspecified
    other impact via a crafted USB device (bnc#1066693).

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

  - CVE-2017-5753: Local attackers on systems with modern

    patterns in the Linux Kernel to leak content from
    otherwise not readable memory in the same address space,

    updates needed for this fix. As this feature can have a
    performance impact, it can be disabled using the
    'nospec' kernel commandline option.

    CPUs featuring deep instruction pipelining could use
    code patterns in userspace to speculative executive code
    that would read otherwise read protected memory, an
    attack similar to CVE-2017-5753. This problem is
    mitigated by unmapping the Linux Kernel from the user
    address space during user code execution, following a
    approach called 'KAISER'. The terms used here are
    'KAISER' / 'Kernel Address Isolation' and 'PTI' / 'Page
    Table Isolation'. This feature is disabled on unaffected
    architectures. This feature can be enabled / disabled by
    the 'pti=[on|off|auto]' or 'nopti' commandline options.
    The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-1000251: The native Bluetooth stack in the
    Linux Kernel (BlueZ) was vulnerable to a stack overflow
    vulnerability in the processing of L2CAP configuration
    responses resulting in Remote code execution in kernel
    space (bnc#1057389).

  - CVE-2017-11600: net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c in the Linux
    kernel did not ensure that the dir value of
    xfrm_userpolicy_id is XFRM_POLICY_MAX or less, which
    allowed local users to cause a denial of service
    (out-of-bounds access) or possibly have unspecified
    other impact via an XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE xfrm Netlink
    message (bnc#1050231).

  - CVE-2017-13080: Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2)
    allowed reinstallation of the Group Temporal Key (GTK)
    during the group key handshake, allowing an attacker
    within radio range to replay frames from access points
    to clients (bnc#1063667).

  - CVE-2017-13167: An elevation of privilege vulnerability
    in the kernel sound timer was fixed. (bnc#1072876).

  - CVE-2017-14106: The tcp_disconnect function in
    net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users
    to cause a denial of service (__tcp_select_window
    divide-by-zero error and system crash) by triggering a
    disconnect within a certain tcp_recvmsg code path
    (bnc#1056982).

  - CVE-2017-14140: The move_pages system call in
    mm/migrate.c in the Linux kernel didn't check the
    effective uid of the target process, enabling a local
    attacker to learn the memory layout of a setuid
    executable despite ASLR (bnc#1057179).

  - CVE-2017-14340: The XFS_IS_REALTIME_INODE macro in
    fs/xfs/xfs_linux.h in the Linux kernel did not verify
    that a filesystem has a realtime device, which allowed
    local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
    dereference and OOPS) via vectors related to setting an
    RHINHERIT flag on a directory (bnc#1058524).

  - CVE-2017-15102: The tower_probe function in
    drivers/usb/misc/legousbtower.c in the Linux kernel
    allowed local users (who are physically proximate for
    inserting a crafted USB device) to gain privileges by
    leveraging a write-what-where condition that occurs
    after a race condition and a NULL pointer dereference
    (bnc#1066705).

  - CVE-2017-15115: The sctp_do_peeloff function in
    net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel did not check
    whether the intended netns is used in a peel-off action,
    which allowed local users to cause a denial of service
    (use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have
    unspecified other impact via crafted system calls
    (bnc#1068671).

  - CVE-2017-15265: Race condition in the ALSA subsystem in
    the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial
    of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified
    other impact via crafted /dev/snd/seq ioctl calls,
    related to sound/core/seq/seq_clientmgr.c and
    sound/core/seq/seq_ports.c (bnc#1062520).

  - CVE-2017-15274: security/keys/keyctl.c in the Linux
    kernel did not consider the case of a NULL payload in
    conjunction with a nonzero length value, which allowed
    local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
    dereference and OOPS) via a crafted add_key or keyctl
    system call, a different vulnerability than
    CVE-2017-12192 (bnc#1045327).

  - CVE-2017-15868: The bnep_add_connection function in
    net/bluetooth/bnep/core.c in the Linux kernel did not
    ensure that an l2cap socket is available, which allowed
    local users to gain privileges via a crafted application
    (bnc#1071470).

    read and system crash) or possibly have unspecified
    other impact via a crafted USB device (bnc#1066693).

  - CVE-2017-16535: The usb_get_bos_descriptor function in
    drivers/usb/core/config.c in the Linux kernel allowed
    local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds
    read and system crash) or possibly have unspecified
    other impact via a crafted USB device (bnc#1066700).

  - CVE-2017-16536: The cx231xx_usb_probe function in
    drivers/media/usb/cx231xx/cx231xx-cards.c in the Linux
    kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service
    (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly
    have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device
    (bnc#1066606).

  - CVE-2017-16537: The imon_probe function in
    drivers/media/rc/imon.c in the Linux kernel allowed
    local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
    dereference and system crash) or possibly have
    unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device
    (bnc#1066573).

  - CVE-2017-16538: drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb-v2/lmedm04.c
    in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a
    denial of service (general protection fault and system
    crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a
    crafted USB device, related to a missing warm-start
    check and incorrect attach timing
    (dm04_lme2510_frontend_attach versus dm04_lme2510_tuner)
    (bnc#1066569).

  - CVE-2017-16649: The usbnet_generic_cdc_bind function in
    drivers/net/usb/cdc_ether.c in the Linux kernel allowed
    local users to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero
    error and system crash) or possibly have unspecified
    other impact via a crafted USB device (bnc#1067085).

  - CVE-2017-16939: The XFRM dump policy implementation in
    net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c in the Linux kernel allowed local
    users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service
    (use-after-free) via a crafted SO_RCVBUF setsockopt
    system call in conjunction with XFRM_MSG_GETPOLICY
    Netlink messages (bnc#1069702 1069708).

  - CVE-2017-17450: net/netfilter/xt_osf.c in the Linux
    kernel did not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for
    add_callback and remove_callback operations, which
    allowed local users to bypass intended access
    restrictions because the xt_osf_fingers data structure
    is shared across all net namespaces (bnc#1071695
    1074033).

  - CVE-2017-17558: The usb_destroy_configuration function
    in drivers/usb/core/config.c in the USB core subsystem
    in the Linux kernel did not consider the maximum number
    of configurations and interfaces before attempting to
    release resources, which allowed local users to cause a
    denial of service (out-of-bounds write access) or
    possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB
    device (bnc#1072561).

  - CVE-2017-17805: The Salsa20 encryption algorithm in the
    Linux kernel did not correctly handle zero-length
    inputs, allowing a local attacker able to use the
    AF_ALG-based skcipher interface
    (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER) to cause a denial of
    service (uninitialized-memory free and kernel crash) or
    have unspecified other impact by executing a crafted
    sequence of system calls that use the blkcipher_walk
    API. Both the generic implementation
    (crypto/salsa20_generic.c) and x86 implementation
    (arch/x86/crypto/salsa20_glue.c) of Salsa20 were
    vulnerable (bnc#1073792).

  - CVE-2017-17806: The HMAC implementation (crypto/hmac.c)
    in the Linux kernel did not validate that the underlying
    cryptographic hash algorithm is unkeyed, allowing a
    local attacker able to use the AF_ALG-based hash
    interface (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH) and the SHA-3
    hash algorithm (CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA3) to cause a kernel
    stack-based buffer overflow by executing a crafted
    sequence of system calls that encounter a missing SHA-3
    initialization (bnc#1073874).

  - CVE-2017-7472: The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel
    allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory
    consumption) via a series of
    KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_THREAD_KEYRING keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring
    calls (bnc#1034862).

  - CVE-2017-8824: The dccp_disconnect function in
    net/dccp/proto.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users
    to gain privileges or cause a denial of service
    (use-after-free) via an AF_UNSPEC connect system call
    during the DCCP_LISTEN state (bnc#1070771).

This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. It was discovered that a buffer overread vulnerability existed in the keyring subsystem of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2017-13305) It was discovered that the DM04/QQBOX USB driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle device attachment and warm-start.

(CVE-2017-16538) Luo Quan and Wei Yang discovered that a race condition existed in the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) subsystem of the Linux kernel when handling ioctl()s. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system deadlock).

    descriptionSeveral vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks. - CVE-2017-8824 Mohamed Ghannam discovered that the DCCP implementation did not correctly manage resources when a socket is disconnected and reconnected, potentially leading to a use-after-free. A local user could use this for denial of service (crash or data corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation. On systems that do not already have the dccp module loaded, this can be mitigated by disabling it:echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-dccp.conf install dccp false - CVE-2017-16538 Andrey Konovalov reported that the dvb-usb-lmedm04 media driver did not correctly handle some error conditions during initialisation. A physically present user with a specially designed USB device can use this to cause a denial of service (crash). - CVE-2017-16644 Andrey Konovalov reported that the hdpvr media driver did not correctly handle some error conditions during initialisation. A physically present user with a specially designed USB device can use this to cause a denial of service (crash). - CVE-2017-16995 Jann Horn discovered that the Extended BPF verifier did not correctly model the behaviour of 32-bit load instructions. A local user can use this for privilege escalation. - CVE-2017-17448 Kevin Cernekee discovered that the netfilter subsystem allowed users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability in any user namespace, not just the root namespace, to enable and disable connection tracking helpers. This could lead to denial of service, violation of network security policy, or have other impact. - CVE-2017-17449 Kevin Cernekee discovered that the netlink subsystem allowed users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability in any user namespace to monitor netlink traffic in all net namespaces, not just those owned by that user namespace. This could lead to exposure of sensitive information. - CVE-2017-17450 Kevin Cernekee discovered that the xt_osf module allowed users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability in any user namespace to modify the global OS fingerprint list. - CVE-2017-17558 Andrey Konovalov reported that that USB core did not correctly handle some error conditions during initialisation. A physically present user with a specially designed USB device can use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption), or possibly for privilege escalation. - CVE-2017-17712 Mohamed Ghannam discovered a race condition in the IPv4 raw socket implementation. A local user could use this to obtain sensitive information from the kernel. - CVE-2017-17741 Dmitry Vyukov reported that the KVM implementation for x86 would over-read data from memory when emulating an MMIO write if the kvm_mmio tracepoint was enabled. A guest virtual machine might be able to use this to cause a denial of service (crash). - CVE-2017-17805 It was discovered that some implementations of the Salsa20 block cipher did not correctly handle zero-length input. A local user could use this to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly have other security impact. - CVE-2017-17806 It was discovered that the HMAC implementation could be used with an underlying hash algorithm that requires a key, which was not intended. A local user could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption), or possibly for privilege escalation. - CVE-2017-17807 Eric Biggers discovered that the KEYS subsystem lacked a check for write permission when adding keys to a process

    It was discovered that the HMAC implementation could be
    used with an underlying hash algorithm that requires a
    key, which was not intended. A local user could use this
    to cause a denial of service (crash or memory
    corruption), or possibly for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2017-17807
    Eric Biggers discovered that the KEYS subsystem lacked a
    check for write permission when adding keys to a
    process's default keyring. A local user could use this
    to cause a denial of service or to obtain sensitive
    information.

  - CVE-2017-17862
    Alexei Starovoitov discovered that the Extended BPF
    verifier ignored unreachable code, even though it would
    still be processed by JIT compilers. This could possibly
    be used by local users for denial of service. It also
    increases the severity of bugs in determining
    unreachable code.

  - CVE-2017-17863
    Jann Horn discovered that the Extended BPF verifier did
    not correctly model pointer arithmetic on the stack
    frame pointer. A local user can use this for privilege
    escalation.

  - CVE-2017-17864
    Jann Horn discovered that the Extended BPF verifier
    could fail to detect pointer leaks from conditional
    code. A local user could use this to obtain sensitive
    information in order to exploit other vulnerabilities.

  - CVE-2017-1000407
    Andrew Honig reported that the KVM implementation for
    Intel processors allowed direct access to host I/O port
    0x80, which is not generally safe. On some systems this
    allows a guest VM to cause a denial of service (crash)
    of the host.

  - CVE-2017-1000410
    Ben Seri reported that the Bluetooth subsystem did not
    correctly handle short EFS information elements in L2CAP
    messages. An attacker able to communicate over Bluetooth
    could use this to obtain sensitive information from the
    kernel.

The various problems in the Extended BPF verifier can be mitigated by
disabling use of Extended BPF by unprivileged users:sysctl
kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled=1

Debian disables unprivileged user namespaces by default, but if they
are enabled (via the kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone sysctl) then
CVE-2017-17448 can be exploited by any local user."

  • NASL familyDebian Local Security Checks
    NASL idDEBIAN_DSA-4082.NASL
    descriptionSeveral vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks. - CVE-2017-5754 Multiple researchers have discovered a vulnerability in Intel processors, enabling an attacker controlling an unprivileged process to read memory from arbitrary addresses, including from the kernel and all other processes running on the system. This specific attack has been named Meltdown and is addressed in the Linux kernel for the Intel x86-64 architecture by a patch set named Kernel Page Table Isolation, enforcing a near complete separation of the kernel and userspace address maps and preventing the attack. This solution might have a performance impact, and can be disabled at boot time by passing pti=off to the kernel command line. - CVE-2017-8824 Mohamed Ghannam discovered that the DCCP implementation did not correctly manage resources when a socket is disconnected and reconnected, potentially leading to a use-after-free. A local user could use this for denial of service (crash or data corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation. On systems that do not already have the dccp module loaded, this can be mitigated by disabling it:echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-dccp.conf install dccp false - CVE-2017-15868 Al Viro found that the Bluebooth Network Encapsulation Protocol (BNEP) implementation did not validate the type of the second socket passed to the BNEPCONNADD ioctl(), which could lead to memory corruption. A local user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability can use this for denial of service (crash or data corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation. - CVE-2017-16538 Andrey Konovalov reported that the dvb-usb-lmedm04 media driver did not correctly handle some error conditions during initialisation. A physically present user with a specially designed USB device can use this to cause a denial of service (crash). - CVE-2017-16939 Mohamed Ghannam reported (through Beyond Security
