Vulnerabilities > CVE-2017-17862 - Improper Input Validation vulnerability in multiple products
Attack vector
LOCAL Attack complexity
LOW Privileges required
LOW Confidentiality impact
NONE Integrity impact
NONE Availability impact
HIGH Summary
kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.8 ignores unreachable code, even though it would still be processed by JIT compilers. This behavior, also considered an improper branch-pruning logic issue, could possibly be used by local users for denial of service.
Vulnerable Configurations
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.

NASL family Debian Local Security Checks NASL id DEBIAN_DSA-4073.NASL description Several 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 last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 105433 published 2017-12-26 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/105433 title Debian DSA-4073-1 : linux - security update code # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Debian Security Advisory DSA-4073.

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." ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-8824" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-16538" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-16644" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-16995" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-17448" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-17449" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-17450" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-17558" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-17712" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-17741" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-17805" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-17806" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-17807" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-17862" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-17863" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-17864" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-1000407" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-1000410" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-17448" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/linux" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://packages.debian.org/source/stretch/linux" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://www.debian.org/security/2017/dsa-4073" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"solution", value: "Upgrade the linux packages.

The previous fix using CPU Microcode has been complemented by building the Linux Kernel with return trampolines aka 'retpolines'. - CVE-2017-15129: A use-after-free vulnerability was found in network namespaces code affecting the Linux kernel in the function get_net_ns_by_id() in net/core/net_namespace.c did not check for the net::count value after it has found a peer network in netns_ids idr, which could lead to double free and memory corruption. This vulnerability could allow an unprivileged local user to induce kernel memory corruption on the system, leading to a crash. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although it is thought to be unlikely (bnc#1074839). - CVE-2017-17712: The raw_sendmsg() function in net/ipv4/raw.c in the Linux kernel has a race condition in inet->hdrincl that leads to uninitialized stack pointer usage; this allowed a local user to execute code and gain privileges (bnc#1073229). - CVE-2017-17862: kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel ignored unreachable code, even though it would still be processed by JIT compilers. This behavior, also considered an improper branch-pruning logic issue, could possibly be used by local users for denial of service (bnc#1073928). - CVE-2017-17864: kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel mishandled states_equal comparisons between the pointer data type and the UNKNOWN_VALUE data type, which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive address information, aka a 'pointer leak (bnc#1073928). - CVE-2017-18017: The tcpmss_mangle_packet function in net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c in the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the presence of xt_TCPMSS in an iptables action (bnc#1074488). - CVE-2018-5332: In the Linux kernel the rds_message_alloc_sgs() function did not validate a value that is used during DMA page allocation, leading to a heap-based out-of-bounds write (related to the rds_rdma_extra_size function in net/rds/rdma.c) (bnc#1075621). - CVE-2018-5333: In the Linux kernel the rds_cmsg_atomic function in net/rds/rdma.c mishandled cases where page pinning fails or an invalid address is supplied, leading to an rds_atomic_free_op NULL pointer dereference (bnc#1075617). - CVE-2018-1000004: In the Linux kernel a race condition vulnerability existed in the sound system, this can lead to a deadlock and denial of service condition (bnc#1076017). The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.
