Summary

The snd_msndmidi_input_read function in sound/isa/msnd/msnd_midi.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service (over-boundary access) or possibly have unspecified other impact by changing the value of a message queue head pointer between two kernel reads of that value, aka a "double fetch" vulnerability.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Overread Buffers
    An adversary attacks a target by providing input that causes an application to read beyond the boundary of a defined buffer. This typically occurs when a value influencing where to start or stop reading is set to reflect positions outside of the valid memory location of the buffer. This type of attack may result in exposure of sensitive information, a system crash, or arbitrary code execution.

    "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 :
    
      - The snd_msndmidi_input_read function in
        sound/isa/msnd/msnd_midi.c in the Linux kernel through
        4.11.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service
        (over-boundary access) or possibly have unspecified
        other impact by changing the value of a message queue
        head pointer between two kernel reads of that value,
        aka a 'double fetch' vulnerability.(CVE-2017-9985i1/4%0
    
      - An assertion failure issue was found in the Linux
        kernel's KVM hypervisor module built to support
        visualization on ARM64 architecture platforms. The
        failure could occur while accessing Performance
        Monitors Cycle Count Register (PMCCNTR) from a guest. A
        privileged guest user could use this flaw to crash the
        host kernel resulting in denial of
        service.(CVE-2017-12168i1/4%0
    
      - The iscsi_if_rx() function in
        'drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c' in the Linux
        kernel from v2.6.24-rc1 through 4.13.2 allows local
        users to cause a denial of service (a system panic) by
        making a number of certain syscalls by leveraging
        incorrect length validation in the kernel
        code.(CVE-2017-14489i1/4%0
    
      - The hdpvr_probe function in
        drivers/media/usb/hdpvr/hdpvr-core.c in the Linux
        kernel through 4.13.11 allows local users to cause a
        denial of service (improper error handling and system
        crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a
        crafted USB device.(CVE-2017-16644i1/4%0
    
      - The dvb frontend management subsystem in the Linux
        kernel contains a use-after-free which can allow a
        malicious user to write to memory that may be assigned
        to another kernel structure. This could create memory
        corruption, panic, or possibly other side
        affects.(CVE-2017-16648i1/4%0
    
      - It was found that the Linux kernel's IPv6
        implementation mishandled socket options. A local
        attacker could abuse concurrent access to the socket
        options to escalate their privileges, or cause a denial
        of service (use-after-free and system crash) via a
        crafted sendmsg system call.(CVE-2016-3841i1/4%0
    
      - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem.
        A local user can cause a use-after-free in
        ext4_xattr_set_entry function and a denial of service
        or unspecified other impact may occur by renaming a
        file in a crafted ext4 filesystem
        image.(CVE-2018-10879i1/4%0
    
      - A race condition was found in the Linux kernel, present
        since v3.14-rc1 through v4.12. The race happens between
        threads of inotify_handle_event() and vfs_rename()
        while running the rename operation against the same
        file. As a result of the race the next slab data or the
        slab's free list pointer can be corrupted with
        attacker-controlled data, which may lead to the
        privilege escalation.(CVE-2017-7533i1/4%0
    
      - A privilege-escalation vulnerability was discovered in
        the Linux kernel built with User Namespace
        (CONFIG_USER_NS) support. The flaw occurred when the
        ptrace() system call was used on a root-owned process
        to enter a user namespace. A privileged namespace user
        could exploit this flaw to potentially escalate their
        privileges on the system, outside the original
        namespace.(CVE-2015-8709i1/4%0
    
      - Use-after-free vulnerability in
        drivers/net/ppp/ppp_generic.c in the Linux kernel
        before 4.5.2 allows local users to cause a denial of
        service (memory corruption and system crash, or
        spinlock) or possibly have unspecified other impact by
        removing a network namespace, related to the
        ppp_register_net_channel and ppp_unregister_channel
        functions.(CVE-2016-4805i1/4%0
    
      - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's
        kvm_iommu_map_pages() function handled IOMMU mapping
        failures. A privileged user in a guest with an assigned
        host device could use this flaw to crash the
        host.(CVE-2014-3601i1/4%0
    
      - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation
        of associative arrays introduced in 3.13. This
        functionality was backported to the 3.10 kernels in Red
        Hat Enterprise Linux 7. The flaw involved a null
        pointer dereference in assoc_array_apply_edit() due to
        incorrect node-splitting in assoc_array implementation.
        This affects the keyring key type and thus key addition
        and link creation operations may cause the kernel to
        panic.(CVE-2017-12193i1/4%0
    
      - Multiple race conditions in drivers/char/adsprpc.c and
        drivers/char/adsprpc_compat.c in the ADSPRPC driver for
        the Linux kernel 3.x, as used in Qualcomm Innovation
        Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM devices and
        other products, allow attackers to cause a denial of
        service (zero-value write) or possibly have unspecified
        other impact via a COMPAT_FASTRPC_IOCTL_INVOKE_FD ioctl
        call.(CVE-2015-0572i1/4%0
    
      - The sanity_check_ckpt function in fs/f2fs/super.c in
        the Linux kernel before version 4.12.4 does not
        validate the blkoff and segno arrays. This allows an
        unprivileged, local user to cause a system panic and
        DoS. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege
        escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we
        believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2017-10663i1/4%0
    
      - A stack overflow flaw caused by infinite recursion was
        found in the way the Linux kernel's Universal Disk
        Format (UDF) file system implementation processed
        indirect Information Control Blocks (ICBs). An attacker
        with physical access to the system could use a
        specially crafted UDF image to crash the
        system.(CVE-2014-6410i1/4%0
    
      - Race condition in the ion_ioctl function in
        drivers/staging/android/ion/ion.c in the Linux kernel
        before 4.6 allows local users to gain privileges or
        cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by calling
        ION_IOC_FREE on two CPUs at the same
        time.(CVE-2016-9120i1/4%0
    
      - drivers/hid/hid-picolcd_core.c in the Human Interface
        Device (HID) subsystem in the Linux kernel through
        3.11, when CONFIG_HID_PICOLCD is enabled, allows
        physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of
        service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) via a
        crafted device.(CVE-2013-2899i1/4%0
    
      - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation
        of overlayfs. An attacker can leak file resources in
        the system by opening a large file with write
        permissions on a overlay filesystem that is
        insufficient to deal with the size of the write.When
        unmounting the underlying device, the system is unable
        to free an inode and this will consume resources.
        Repeating this for all available inodes and memory will
        create a denial of service situation.(CVE-2015-8953i1/4%0
    
      - Buffer overflow in the mp_override_legacy_irq()
        function in arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c in the Linux
        kernel through 4.12.2 allows local users to gain
        privileges via a crafted ACPI table.(CVE-2017-11473i1/4%0
    
      - Use-after-free vulnerability in the
        kvm_ioctl_create_device function in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c
        in the Linux kernel before 4.8.13 allows host OS users
        to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) or
        possibly gain privileges via crafted ioctl calls on the
        /dev/kvm device.(CVE-2016-10150i1/4%0

    descriptionUSN-3469-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Anthony Perard discovered that the Xen virtual block driver did not properly initialize some data structures before passing them to user space. A local attacker in a guest VM could use this to expose sensitive information from the host OS or other guest VMs. (CVE-2017-10911) Bo Zhang discovered that the netlink wireless configuration interface in the Linux kernel did not properly validate attributes when handling certain requests. A local attacker with the CAP_NET_ADMIN could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2017-12153) It was discovered that the nested KVM implementation in the Linux kernel in some situations did not properly prevent second level guests from reading and writing the hardware CR8 register. A local attacker in a guest could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). It was discovered that the key management subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict key reads on negatively instantiated keys. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).

    Anthony Perard discovered that the Xen virtual block driver did not
    properly initialize some data structures before passing them to user
    space. A local attacker in a guest VM could use this to expose
    sensitive information from the host OS or other guest VMs.
    (CVE-2017-10911)
    
    Bo Zhang discovered that the netlink wireless configuration interface
    in the Linux kernel did not properly validate attributes when handling
    certain requests. A local attacker with the CAP_NET_ADMIN could use
    this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2017-12153)
    
    It was discovered that the nested KVM implementation in the Linux
    kernel in some situations did not properly prevent second level guests
    from reading and writing the hardware CR8 register. A local attacker
    in a guest could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
    
    It was discovered that the key management subsystem in the Linux
    kernel did not properly restrict key reads on negatively instantiated
    keys. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
    (system crash). (CVE-2017-12192)
    
    It was discovered that an integer overflow existed in the sysfs
    interface for the QLogic 24xx+ series SCSI driver in the Linux kernel.
    A local privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of
    service (system crash). (CVE-2017-14051)
    
    It was discovered that the ATI Radeon framebuffer driver in the Linux
    kernel did not properly initialize a data structure returned to user
    space. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information
    (kernel memory). (CVE-2017-14156)
    
    Dave Chinner discovered that the XFS filesystem did not enforce that
    the realtime inode flag was settable only on filesystems on a realtime
    device. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
    (system crash). (CVE-2017-14340)
    
    ChunYu Wang discovered that the iSCSI transport implementation in the
    Linux kernel did not properly validate data structures. A local
    attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
    (CVE-2017-14489)
    
    It was discovered that the generic SCSI driver in the Linux kernel did
    not properly initialize data returned to user space in some
    situations. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive
    information (kernel memory). (CVE-2017-14991)
    
    Dmitry Vyukov discovered that the Floating Point Unit (fpu) subsystem
    in the Linux kernel did not properly handle attempts to set reserved
    bits in a task's extended state (xstate) area. A local attacker could
    use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2017-15537)
    
    Pengfei Wang discovered that the Turtle Beach MultiSound audio device
    driver in the Linux kernel contained race conditions when fetching
    from the ring-buffer. A local attacker could use this to cause a
    denial of service (infinite loop). (CVE-2017-9984, CVE-2017-9985).
