Summary

The time subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.9.9, when CONFIG_TIMER_STATS is enabled, allows local users to discover real PID values (as distinguished from PID values inside a PID namespace) by reading the /proc/timer_list file, related to the print_timer function in kernel/time/timer_list.c and the __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info function in kernel/time/timer.c.

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 have other
impacts.

CVE-2016-2188

Ralf Spenneberg of OpenSource Security reported that the iowarrior
device driver did not sufficiently validate USB descriptors. This
allowed a physically present user with a specially designed USB device
to cause a denial of service (crash).

CVE-2016-9604

It was discovered that the keyring subsystem allowed a process to set
a special internal keyring as its session keyring. The security impact
in this version of the kernel is unknown.

CVE-2016-10200

Baozeng Ding and Andrey Konovalov reported a race condition in the
L2TP implementation which could corrupt its table of bound sockets. A
local user could use this to cause a denial of service (crash) or
possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2017-2647 / CVE-2017-6951

idl3r reported that the keyring subsystem would allow a process to
search for 'dead' keys, causing a NULL pointer dereference. A local
user could use this to cause a denial of service (crash).

CVE-2017-2671

Daniel Jiang discovered a race condition in the ping socket
implementation. A local user with access to ping sockets could use
this to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly for privilege
escalation. This feature is not accessible to any users by default.

CVE-2017-5967

Xing Gao reported that the /proc/timer_list file showed information
about all processes, not considering PID namespaces. If timer
debugging was enabled by a privileged user, this leaked information to
processes contained in PID namespaces.

CVE-2017-5970

Andrey Konovalov discovered a denial of service flaw in the IPv4
networking code. This can be triggered by a local or remote attacker
if a local UDP or raw socket has the IP_RETOPTS option enabled.

CVE-2017-7184

Chaitin Security Research Lab discovered that the net xfrm subsystem
did not sufficiently validate replay state parameters, allowing a heap
buffer overflow. This can be used by a local user with the
CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for privilege escalation.

CVE-2017-7261

Vladis Dronov and Murray McAllister reported that the vmwgfx driver
did not sufficiently validate rendering surface parameters. In a
VMware guest, this can be used by a local user to cause a denial of
service (crash).

CVE-2017-7273

Benoit Camredon reported that the hid-cypress driver did not
sufficiently validate HID reports. This possibly allowed a physically
present user with a specially designed USB device to cause a denial of
service (crash).

CVE-2017-7294

Li Qiang reported that the vmwgfx driver did not sufficiently validate
rendering surface parameters. In a VMware guest, this can be used by a
local user to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly for
privilege escalation.

CVE-2017-7308

Andrey Konovalov reported that the packet socket (AF_PACKET)
implementation did not sufficiently validate buffer parameters. This
can be used by a local user with the CAP_NET_RAW capability for
privilege escalation.

CVE-2017-7472

Eric Biggers reported that the keyring subsystem allowed a thread to
create new thread keyrings repeatedly, causing a memory leak. This can
be used by a local user to cause a denial of service (memory
exhaustion).

CVE-2017-7616

Chris Salls reported an information leak in the 32-bit big-endian
compatibility implementations of set_mempolicy() and mbind(). This
does not affect any architecture supported in Debian 7 LTS.

CVE-2017-7618

Sabrina Dubroca reported that the cryptographic hash subsystem does
not correctly handle submission of unaligned data to a device that is
already busy, resulting in infinite recursion. On some systems this
can be used by local users to cause a denial of service (crash).

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version
3.2.88-1. This version also includes bug fixes from upstream version
3.2.88, and fixes some older security issues in the keyring, packet
socket and cryptographic hash subsystems that do not have CVE IDs.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', most of these problems have been fixed in
version 3.16.43-1 which will be part of the next point release.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.

A kmalloc call is incorrect, leading to slab-out-of-bounds in jfs_xattr.(CVE-2018-12233i1/4%0 - The spectre_v2_select_mitigation function in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c in the Linux kernel before 4.18.1 does not always fill RSB upon a context switch, which makes it easier for attackers to conduct userspace-userspace spectreRSB attacks.(CVE-2018-15572i1/4%0 - Race condition in the queue_delete function in sound/core/seq/seq_queue.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) by making an ioctl call at a certain time.(CVE-2016-2544i1/4%0 - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel
