Attack vector
LOCAL Attack complexity
LOW Privileges required
LOW Confidentiality impact
NONE Integrity impact
NONE Availability impact
HIGH Summary
Use-after-free in the usbtv_probe function in drivers/media/usb/usbtv/usbtv-core.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.10 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering failure of audio registration, because a kfree of the usbtv data structure occurs during a usbtv_video_free call, but the usbtv_video_fail label's code attempts to both access and free this data structure.

NASL family Ubuntu Local Security Checks NASL id UBUNTU_USN-3653-2.NASL description USN-3653-1 fixed vulnerabilities and added mitigations in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 17.10. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 17.10 for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Jann Horn and Ken Johnson discovered that microprocessors utilizing speculative execution of a memory read may allow unauthorized memory reads via a sidechannel attack. This flaw is known as Spectre Variant 4. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information, including kernel memory. (CVE-2018-3639) It was discovered that the netlink subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict observations of netlink messages to the appropriate net namespace. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel netlink traffic). (CVE-2017-17449) Tuba Yavuz discovered that a double-free error existed in the USBTV007 driver of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.

NASL family Huawei Local Security Checks NASL id EULEROS_SA-2019-1524.NASL description According 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 last seen 2020-03-19 modified 2019-05-14 plugin id 124977 published 2019-05-14 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/124977 title EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 3.0.1.0 : kernel (EulerOS-SA-2019-1524) code # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # include("compat.inc"); if (description) { script_id(124977); script_version("1.5"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"plugin_modification_date", value:"2020/03/19"); script_cve_id( "CVE-2013-7026", "CVE-2014-4699", "CVE-2014-6416", "CVE-2014-7970", "CVE-2014-9584", "CVE-2014-9892", "CVE-2014-9922", "CVE-2015-0275", "CVE-2015-2925", "CVE-2016-2548", "CVE-2016-2782", "CVE-2016-9756", "CVE-2017-11472", "CVE-2017-17975", "CVE-2017-6346", "CVE-2017-7889", "CVE-2018-14617", "CVE-2018-18559", "CVE-2018-5953", "CVE-2018-5995" ); script_bugtraq_id( 64312, 68411, 69805, 70319, 71883, 73926, 75139 ); script_name(english:"EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 3.0.1.0 : kernel (EulerOS-SA-2019-1524)"); script_summary(english:"Checks the rpm output for the updated packages."); script_set_attribute(attribute:"synopsis", value: "The remote EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 host is missing multiple security updates."); script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value: "According 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.
