Summary

The ext4_valid_block_bitmap function in fs/ext4/balloc.c in the Linux kernel through 4.15.15 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) via a crafted ext4 image because balloc.c and ialloc.c do not validate bitmap block numbers.

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.

    descriptionWen Xu discovered that the ext4 filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle corrupted meta data in some situations. An attacker could use this to specially craft an ext4 file system that caused a denial of service (system crash) when mounted. (CVE-2018-1092, CVE-2018-1093) It was discovered that the cdrom driver in the Linux kernel contained an incorrect bounds check. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2018-10940) It was discovered that the 802.11 software simulator implementation in the Linux kernel contained a memory leak when handling certain error conditions. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2018-8087). Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

        (including XMM and AVX registers) between processes.
        These registers might contain encryption keys when doing
        SSE accelerated AES enc/decryption (bsc#1087086)
    
      - CVE-2018-5848: In the function wmi_set_ie(), the length
        validation code did not handle unsigned integer overflow
        properly. As a result, a large value of the 'ie_len'
        argument could have caused a buffer overflow
        (bnc#1097356)
    
      - CVE-2018-1000204: Prevent infoleak caused by incorrect
        handling of the SG_IO ioctl (bsc#1096728)
    
      - CVE-2017-13305: Prevent information disclosure
        vulnerability in encrypted-keys (bsc#1094353)
    
      - CVE-2018-1094: The ext4_fill_super function did not
        always initialize the crc32c checksum driver, which
        allowed attackers to cause a denial of service
        (ext4_xattr_inode_hash NULL pointer dereference and
        system crash) via a crafted ext4 image (bsc#1087007)
    
      - CVE-2018-1093: The ext4_valid_block_bitmap function
        allowed attackers to cause a denial of service
        (out-of-bounds read and system crash) via a crafted ext4
        image because balloc.c and ialloc.c do not validate
        bitmap block numbers (bsc#1087095)
    
      - CVE-2018-1092: The ext4_iget function mishandled the
        case of a root directory with a zero i_links_count,
        which allowed attackers to cause a denial of service
        (ext4_process_freed_data NULL pointer dereference and
        OOPS) via a crafted ext4 image (bsc#1087012)
    
      - CVE-2018-1130: NULL pointer dereference in
        dccp_write_xmit() function that allowed a local user to
        cause a denial of service by a number of certain crafted
        system calls (bsc#1092904)
    
      - CVE-2018-5803: Prevent error in the '_sctp_make_chunk()'
        function when handling SCTP packets length that could
        have been exploited to cause a kernel crash
        (bnc#1083900)
    
      - CVE-2018-7492: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in the
        net/rds/rdma.c __rds_rdma_map() function that allowed
        local attackers to cause a system panic and a
        denial-of-service, related to RDS_GET_MR and
        RDS_GET_MR_FOR_DEST (bsc#1082962)
    
    The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for
    details.

For all other architectures, there is no need to upgrade or reboot again. For reference, the relevant part of the original advisory text follows. Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks. CVE-2017-5715 Multiple researchers have discovered a vulnerability in various processors supporting speculative execution, enabling an attacker controlling an unprivileged process to read memory from arbitrary addresses, including from the kernel and all other processes running on the system. This specific attack has been named Spectre variant 2 (branch target injection) and is mitigated for the x86 architecture (amd64 and i386) by using new microcoded features. This mitigation requires an update to the processor

This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Wen Xu discovered that the ext4 filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle corrupted meta data in some situations. An attacker could use this to specially craft an ext4 file system that caused a denial of service (system crash) when mounted. (CVE-2018-1092, CVE-2018-1093) It was discovered that the cdrom driver in the Linux kernel contained an incorrect bounds check. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2018-10940) It was discovered that the 802.11 software simulator implementation in the Linux kernel contained a memory leak when handling certain error conditions. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2018-8087). Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

    descriptionAccording to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.18.7. In block/blk-core.c, there is an __blk_drain_queue() use-after-free because a certain error case is mishandled.(CVE-2018-20856) - In the Linux kernel before 5.1.7, a device can be tracked by an attacker using the IP ID values the kernel produces for connection-less protocols (e.g., UDP and ICMP). When such traffic is sent to multiple destination IP addresses, it is possible to obtain hash collisions (of indices to the counter array) and thereby obtain the hashing key (via enumeration). An attack may be conducted by hosting a crafted web page that uses WebRTC or gQUIC to force UDP traffic to attacker-controlled IP addresses.(CVE-2019-10638) - The Linux kernel 4.x (starting from 4.1) and 5.x before 5.0.8 allows Information Exposure (partial kernel address disclosure), leading to a KASLR bypass. Specifically, it is possible to extract the KASLR kernel image offset using the IP ID values the kernel produces for connection-less protocols (e.g., UDP and ICMP). When such traffic is sent to multiple destination IP addresses, it is possible to obtain hash collisions (of indices to the counter array) and thereby obtain the hashing key (via enumeration). This key contains enough bits from a kernel address (of a static variable) so when the key is extracted (via enumeration), the offset of the kernel image is exposed. This attack can be carried out remotely, by the attacker forcing the target device to send UDP or ICMP (or certain other) traffic to attacker-controlled IP addresses. Forcing a server to send UDP traffic is trivial if the server is a DNS server. ICMP traffic is trivial if the server answers ICMP Echo requests (ping). For client targets, if the target visits the attacker
