The following security bugs were fixed : - CVE-2017-7184: The xfrm_replay_verify_len function in net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c in the Linux kernel did not validate certain size data after an XFRM_MSG_NEWAE update, which allowed local users to obtain root privileges or cause a denial of service (heap-based out-of-bounds access) by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, as demonstrated during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2017 for the Ubuntu 16.10 linux-image-* package 4.8.0.41.52 (bnc#1030573). - CVE-2016-10200: Race condition in the L2TPv3 IP Encapsulation feature in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by making multiple bind system calls without properly ascertaining whether a socket has the SOCK_ZAPPED status, related to net/l2tp/l2tp_ip.c and net/l2tp/l2tp_ip6.c (bnc#1028415). - CVE-2017-2636: Race condition in drivers/tty/n_hdlc.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (double free) by setting the HDLC line discipline (bnc#1027565). - CVE-2017-6345: The LLC subsystem in the Linux kernel did not ensure that a certain destructor exists in required circumstances, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (BUG_ON) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls (bnc#1027190). - CVE-2017-6346: Race condition in net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a multithreaded application that made PACKET_FANOUT setsockopt system calls (bnc#1027189). - CVE-2017-6353: net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict association peel-off operations during certain wait states, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (invalid unlock and double free) via a multithreaded application. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2017-5986 (bnc#1025235). - CVE-2017-6214: The tcp_splice_read function in net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and soft lockup) via vectors involving a TCP packet with the URG flag (bnc#1026722). - CVE-2016-2117: The atl2_probe function in drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/atlx/atl2.c in the Linux kernel incorrectly enables scatter/gather I/O, which allowed remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by reading packet data (bnc#968697). - CVE-2017-6347: The ip_cmsg_recv_checksum function in net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c in the Linux kernel has incorrect expectations about skb data layout, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls, as demonstrated by use of the MSG_MORE flag in conjunction with loopback UDP transmission (bnc#1027179). - CVE-2016-9191: The cgroup offline implementation in the Linux kernel mishandled certain drain operations, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) by leveraging access to a container environment for executing a crafted application, as demonstrated by trinity (bnc#1008842). - CVE-2017-2596: The nested_vmx_check_vmptr function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel improperly emulates the VMXON instruction, which allowed KVM L1 guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS memory consumption) by leveraging the mishandling of page references (bnc#1022785). The following non-security bugs were fixed : - ACPI: Do not create a platform_device for IOAPIC/IOxAPIC (bsc#1028819). - ACPI, ioapic: Clear on-stack resource before using it (bsc#1028819). - ACPI: Remove platform devices from a bus on removal (bsc#1028819). - add mainline tag to one hyperv patch - bnx2x: allow adding VLANs while interface is down (bsc#1027273). - btrfs: backref: Fix soft lockup in __merge_refs function (bsc#1017641). - btrfs: incremental send, do not delay rename when parent inode is new (bsc#1028325). - btrfs: incremental send, do not issue invalid rmdir operations (bsc#1028325). - btrfs: qgroup: Move half of the qgroup accounting time out of commit trans (bsc#1017461). - btrfs: send, fix failure to rename top level inode due to name collision (bsc#1028325). - btrfs: serialize subvolume mounts with potentially mismatching rw flags (bsc#951844 bsc#1024015) - crypto: algif_hash - avoid zero-sized array (bnc#1007962). - cxgb4vf: do not offload Rx checksums for IPv6 fragments (bsc#1026692). - drivers: hv: vmbus: Prevent sending data on a rescinded channel (fate#320485, bug#1028217). - drm/i915: Add intel_uncore_suspend / resume functions (bsc#1011913). - drm/i915: Listen for PMIC bus access notifications (bsc#1011913). - drm/mgag200: Added support for the new device G200eH3 (bsc#1007959, fate#322780) - ext4: fix fencepost in s_first_meta_bg validation (bsc#1029986). - Fix kABI breakage of dccp in 4.4.56 (stable-4.4.56). - futex: Add missing error handling to FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI (bsc#969755). - futex: Fix potential use-after-free in FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI (bsc#969755). - i2c: designware-baytrail: Acquire P-Unit access on bus acquire (bsc#1011913). - i2c: designware-baytrail: Call pmic_bus_access_notifier_chain (bsc#1011913). - i2c: designware-baytrail: Fix race when resetting the semaphore (bsc#1011913). - i2c: designware-baytrail: Only check iosf_mbi_available() for shared hosts (bsc#1011913). - i2c: designware: Disable pm for PMIC i2c-bus even if there is no _SEM method (bsc#1011913). - i2c-designware: increase timeout (bsc#1011913). - i2c: designware: Never suspend i2c-busses used for accessing the system PMIC (bsc#1011913). - i2c: designware: Rename accessor_flags to flags (bsc#1011913). - kABI: protect struct iscsi_conn (kabi). - kABI: protect struct se_node_acl (kabi). - kABI: restore can_rx_register parameters (kabi). - kgr/module: make a taint flag module-specific (fate#313296). - kgr: remove all arch-specific kgraft header files (fate#313296). - l2tp: fix address test in __l2tp_ip6_bind_lookup() (bsc#1028415). - l2tp: fix lookup for sockets not bound to a device in l2tp_ip (bsc#1028415). - l2tp: fix racy socket lookup in l2tp_ip and l2tp_ip6 bind() (bsc#1028415). - l2tp: hold socket before dropping lock in l2tp_ip(, 6)_recv() (bsc#1028415). - l2tp: lock socket before checking flags in connect() (bsc#1028415). - md/raid1: add rcu protection to rdev in fix_read_error (References: bsc#998106,bsc#1020048,bsc#982783). - md/raid1: fix a use-after-free bug (bsc#998106,bsc#1020048,bsc#982783). - md/raid1: handle flush request correctly (bsc#998106,bsc#1020048,bsc#982783). - md/raid1: Refactor raid1_make_request (bsc#998106,bsc#1020048,bsc#982783). - mm: fix set pageblock migratetype in deferred struct page init (bnc#1027195). - mm/page_alloc: Remove useless parameter of __free_pages_boot_core (bnc#1027195). - module: move add_taint_module() to a header file (fate#313296). - net/ena: change condition for host attribute configuration (bsc#1026509). - net/ena: change driver last seen 2020-06-05 modified 2017-04-03 plugin id 99156 published 2017-04-03 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/99156 title openSUSE Security Update : the Linux Kernel (openSUSE-2017-418) NASL family Ubuntu Local Security Checks NASL id UBUNTU_USN-3251-1.NASL description It was discovered that the xfrm framework for transforming packets in the Linux kernel did not properly validate data received from user space.

| description | A security issue was reported by ZDI, on behalf of Chaitin Security Research Lab, against the Linux kernel in Ubuntu. It also affected the upstream kernel. Chaitin Security Research Lab discovered that xfrm_replay_verify_len(), as called by xfrm_new_ae(), did not verify that the user-specified replay_window was within the replay state buffer. This allowed for out-of-bounds reads and writes of kernel memory. Chaitin Security showed that this can lead to local privilege escalation by using user namespaces in order to configure XFRM. XFRM configuration requires CAP_NET_ADMIN so this issue is mitigated in kernels which do not enable user namespaces by default. Fixes: - https://git.kernel.org/linus/677e806da4d916052585301785d847c3b3e6186a - https://git.kernel.org/linus/f843ee6dd019bcece3e74e76ad9df0155655d0df |
