NASL family Debian Local Security Checks NASL id DEBIAN_DLA-993.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-2017-7487 Li Qiang reported a reference counter leak in the ipxitf_ioctl function which may result into a use-after-free vulnerability, triggerable when a IPX interface is configured. CVE-2017-7645 Tuomas Haanpaa and Matti Kamunen from Synopsys Ltd discovered that the NFSv2 and NFSv3 server implementations are vulnerable to an out-of-bounds memory access issue while processing arbitrarily long arguments sent by NFSv2/NFSv3 PRC clients, leading to a denial of service. CVE-2017-7895 Ari Kauppi from Synopsys Ltd discovered that the NFSv2 and NFSv3 server implementations do not properly handle payload bounds checking of WRITE requests. A remote attacker with write access to a NFS mount can take advantage of this flaw to read chunks of arbitrary memory from both kernel-space and user-space. CVE-2017-8890 It was discovered that the net_csk_clone_lock() function allows a remote attacker to cause a double free leading to a denial of service or potentially have other impact. CVE-2017-8924 Johan Hovold found that the io_ti USB serial driver could leak sensitive information if a malicious USB device was connected. CVE-2017-8925 Johan Hovold found a reference counter leak in the omninet USB serial driver, resulting in a use-after-free vulnerability. This can be triggered by a local user permitted to open tty devices. CVE-2017-9074 Andrey Konovalov reported that the IPv6 fragmentation implementation could read beyond the end of a packet buffer. A local user or guest VM might be able to use this to leak sensitive information or to cause a denial of service (crash). CVE-2017-9075 Andrey Konovalov reported that the SCTP/IPv6 implementation wrongly initialised address lists on connected sockets, resulting in a use-after-free vulnerability, a similar issue to CVE-2017-8890. This can be triggered by any local user. CVE-2017-9076 / CVE-2017-9077 Cong Wang found that the TCP/IPv6 and DCCP/IPv6 implementations wrongly initialised address lists on connected sockets, a similar issue to CVE-2017-9075. CVE-2017-9242 Andrey Konovalov reported a packet buffer overrun in the IPv6 implementation. A local user could use this for denial of service (memory corruption; crash) and possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2017-1000364 The Qualys Research Labs discovered that the size of the stack guard page is not sufficiently large. The stack-pointer can jump over the guard-page and moving from the stack into another memory region without accessing the guard-page. In this case no page-fault exception is raised and the stack extends into the other memory region. An attacker can exploit this flaw for privilege escalation. The default stack gap protection is set to 256 pages and can be configured via the stack_guard_gap kernel parameter on the kernel command line.

However, that fix introduced regressions for some Java applications. This update addresses the issue. We apologize for the inconvenience. Roee Hay discovered that the parallel port printer driver in the Linux kernel did not properly bounds check passed arguments. A local attacker with write access to the kernel command line arguments could use this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-1000363) It was discovered that a double-free vulnerability existed in the IPv4 stack of the Linux kernel. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).

These encoded arguments are stored in an array of memory pages, and accessed via various pointer variables. Arbitrarily long arguments could make these pointers point outside the array, thus causing out-of-bounds memory access. A remote user/program could use this flaw to crash the kernel resulting in DoS. - The NFSv2 and NFSv3 server implementations in the Linux kernel through 4.10.13 lack certain checks for the end of a buffer. A remote attacker could trigger a pointer-arithmetic error or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted requests related to fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c and fs/nfsd/nfsxdr.c. - The tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock function in net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c in the Linux kernel mishandles inheritance, which allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls, a related issue to CVE-2017-8890.

A remote attacker with write access to a NFS mount can take advantage of this flaw to read chunks of arbitrary memory from both kernel-space and user-space. - CVE-2017-8064 Arnd Bergmann found that the DVB-USB core misused the device logging system, resulting in a use-after-free vulnerability, with unknown security impact. - CVE-2017-8890 It was discovered that the net_csk_clone_lock() function allows a remote attacker to cause a double free leading to a denial of service or potentially have other impact. - CVE-2017-8924 Johan Hovold found that the io_ti USB serial driver could leak sensitive information if a malicious USB device was connected. - CVE-2017-8925 Johan Hovold found a reference counter leak in the omninet USB serial driver, resulting in a use-after-free vulnerability. This can be triggered by a local user permitted to open tty devices. - CVE-2017-9074 Andrey Konovalov reported that the IPv6 fragmentation implementation could read beyond the end of a packet buffer. A local user or guest VM might be able to use this to leak sensitive information or to cause a denial of service (crash). - CVE-2017-9075 Andrey Konovalov reported that the SCTP/IPv6 implementation wrongly initialised address lists on connected sockets, resulting in a use-after-free vulnerability, a similar issue to CVE-2017-8890. This can be triggered by any local user. - CVE-2017-9076 / CVE-2017-9077 Cong Wang found that the TCP/IPv6 and DCCP/IPv6 implementations wrongly initialised address lists on connected sockets, a similar issue to CVE-2017-9075. - CVE-2017-9242 Andrey Konovalov reported a packet buffer overrun in the IPv6 implementation. A local user could use this for denial of service (memory corruption; crash) and possibly for privilege escalation. - CVE-2017-1000364 The Qualys Research Labs discovered that the size of the stack guard page is not sufficiently large. The stack-pointer can jump over the guard-page and moving from the stack into another memory region without accessing the guard-page. In this case no page-fault exception is raised and the stack extends into the other memory region. An attacker can exploit this flaw for privilege escalation. The default stack gap protection is set to 256 pages and can be configured via the stack_guard_gap kernel parameter on the kernel command line.

description | ### About “Phoenix Talon” 2017 5 November 9, qimingxing e ADLab found that the Linux kernel there is a remote vulnerability“Phoenix Talon”the Phoenix claw fourth toe of Italy, and relates to CVE-2017-8890, CVE-2017-9075, CVE-2017-9076, CVE-2017-9077, can affect almost all Linux kernel 2.5.69 ~Linux kernel 4.11 kernel version, corresponding to the release version as well as the relevant domestic system. Can lead to a remote DOS, and in compliance with certain Use Conditions can lead to the RCE, including the transport layer of the TCP, DCCP, SCTP, and network layer IPv4 and IPv6 protocols are affected. In fact, the vulnerability in the Linux 4.11-rc8 version has been qimingxing e ADLab discovered, and later of the Linux 4.11 stable version also have this problem. The study of these vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel at least has been lurking for 11 years, the impact is extremely far-reaching. Qimingxing e ADLab has been the first time the“Phoenix Talon”vulnerability feedback to the Linux kernel community, the vulnerabilities reported after the Linux community in the Linux 4.12-rc1 merge the fix the issue the patch. These vulnerabilities to CVE-2017-8890 is the most serious to the Linux kernel vulnerability two scoring history the highest score, the CVSS V2 score achieved out of 10. 0, the CVSS V3 scoring history the highest score of 9. 8, The NVD on the search history involves Linux kernel vulnerabilities this rate the vulnerability of not more than 20, the following analysis to the vulnerability, for example, a reference to the official DESCRIPTION is as follows: “The inet_csk_clone_lock function in net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock. c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.15 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (double free) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the use of the accept system call.” ### The Vulnerability CVE-2017-8890 itself is a double free problem, using the setsockopt()function in the MCAST_JOIN_GROUP option, and call the accept()function to trigger the vulnerability. Then first take a look at a couple of multicast-related data structures: ![](http://mmbiz.qpic.cn/mmbiz_png/XGicR9TOl8nS0U9NznwZibK1U101RJiaYGkdfr6ubDjpuYoBcOcZpOnBJfrC3kLGX4HC0GbtbEbRib0o14JJOVibj9A/640?wx_fmt=png&tp=webp&wxfrom=5&wx_lazy=1) The structure of the two members are respectively used to specify the multicast group IP address and have to join a group of local interface IP address. ip_setsockopt()to achieve this function, by calling the ip_mc_join_group()the socket is added to the multicast group. ![](http://mmbiz.qpic.cn/mmbiz_png/XGicR9TOl8nS0U9NznwZibK1U101RJiaYGkibSFnZibB8vnnCRrmXmt4DSbkbsF8U7f29kVNlQbibYibAmMZOjLKUSvibw/640?wx_fmt=png&tp=webp&wxfrom=5&wx_lazy=1) Where sk.__ sk_common. skc_rcv_saddr for multicast, receive only the address is sent to the multicast data, the unicast is concerned, only from the address represented the network card receiving data; mc_ttl for the multicast ttl; the mc_loop represents the multicast are sent to the loop; mc_index indicates multicast use the local device interface index; mc_addr represents a multicast source address; mc_list is a multicast list. ![](http://mmbiz.qpic.cn/mmbiz_png/XGicR9TOl8nS0U9NznwZibK1U101RJiaYGkVFoibvEQCicVicV3SB4IgjUuvh7oiacLWG0roSCicgQ0icruaMgrF5aVkqNw/640?wx_fmt=png&tp=webp&wxfrom=5&wx_lazy=1) next_rcu points to the list of next nodes; multi indicates that the group information, i.e. in which one on the local interface, joined to which multicast group; sfmode is the filtering mode, the value of the MCAST_INCLUDE or MCAST_EXCLUDE, respectively, to receive only the sflist those listed the source of the multicast data packet and does not receive sflist those listed the source of multicast datagram; sflist is the source list. The following are from the vulnerability of memory assigned to the key code and the second release of the key code analysis. #### 1, The Allocate Memory allocation call chain: ![](http://mmbiz.qpic.cn/mmbiz_png/XGicR9TOl8nS0U9NznwZibK1U101RJiaYGkLGgYPojAtyKZZMlIvZnd5Iy4WdsibQNE5IWmia9nZFLFcs1IQzYyP5tA/640?wx_fmt=png&tp=webp&wxfrom=5&wx_lazy=1) Use the setsockopt()function in the MCAST_JOIN_GROUP option. net/socket. c ![](http://mmbiz.qpic.cn/mmbiz_png/XGicR9TOl8nS0U9NznwZibK1U101RJiaYGkiaMRmMaWsLawJ1PWuz0wcCiallGCStCTN30ENfyibVOw6NXvF74XBZAjw/640?wx_fmt=png&tp=webp&wxfrom=5&wx_lazy=1) Entering the kernel calls SyS_setsockopt()function, the level set is not SOL_SOCKET, General settings for the SOL_IP, in 1798 at line is called.
