Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
- Overflow Buffers Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
- Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
- Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
- MIME Conversion An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

The following security bugs were fixed : CVE-2018-19985: The function hso_probe read if_num from the USB device (as an u8) and used it without a length check to index an array, resulting in an OOB memory read in hso_probe or hso_get_config_data that could be used by local attackers (bnc#1120743). CVE-2018-16884: NFS41+ shares mounted in different network namespaces at the same time can make bc_svc_process() use wrong back-channel IDs and cause a use-after-free vulnerability. Thus a malicious container user can cause a host kernel memory corruption and a system panic. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out (bnc#1119946). CVE-2018-20169: The USB subsystem mishandled size checks during the reading of an extra descriptor, related to __usb_get_extra_descriptor in drivers/usb/core/usb.c (bnc#1119714). CVE-2018-9568: In sk_clone_lock of sock.c, there is a possible memory corruption due to type confusion. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. (bnc#1118319). CVE-2018-16862: A security flaw was found in a way that the cleancache subsystem clears an inode after the final file truncation (removal). The new file created with the same inode may contain leftover pages from cleancache and the old file data instead of the new one (bnc#1117186). CVE-2018-19824: A local user could exploit a use-after-free in the ALSA driver by supplying a malicious USB Sound device (with zero interfaces) that is mishandled in usb_audio_probe in sound/usb/card.c (bnc#1118152). CVE-2018-18281: The mremap() syscall performs TLB flushes after dropping pagetable locks. If a syscall such as ftruncate() removes entries from the pagetables of a task that is in the middle of mremap(), a stale TLB entry can remain for a short time that permits access to a physical page after it has been released back to the page allocator and reused. (bnc#1113769). CVE-2018-18710: An information leak in cdrom_ioctl_select_disc in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c could be used by local attackers to read kernel memory because a cast from unsigned long to int interferes with bounds checking. This is similar to CVE-2018-10940 and CVE-2018-16658 (bnc#1113751). CVE-2018-18690: A local attacker able to set attributes on an xfs filesystem could make this filesystem non-operational until the next mount by triggering an unchecked error condition during an xfs attribute change, because xfs_attr_shortform_addname in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr.c mishandled ATTR_REPLACE operations with conversion of an attr from short to long form (bnc#1105025). CVE-2018-18386: drivers/tty/n_tty.c allowed local attackers (who are able to access pseudo terminals) to hang/block further usage of any pseudo terminal devices due to an EXTPROC versus ICANON confusion in TIOCINQ (bnc#1094825). CVE-2018-9516: In hid_debug_events_read of drivers/hid/hid-debug.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check.

If a syscall such as ftruncate() removes entries from the pagetables of a task that is in the middle of mremap(), a stale TLB entry can remain for a short time that permits access to a physical page after it has been released back to the page allocator and reused. (bnc#1113769). - CVE-2018-18710: An information leak in cdrom_ioctl_select_disc in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c could be used by local attackers to read kernel memory because a cast from unsigned long to int interferes with bounds checking. This is similar to CVE-2018-10940 and CVE-2018-16658 (bnc#1113751). - CVE-2018-18690: A local attacker able to set attributes on an xfs filesystem could make this filesystem non-operational until the next mount by triggering an unchecked error condition during an xfs attribute change, because xfs_attr_shortform_addname in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr.c mishandled ATTR_REPLACE operations with conversion of an attr from short to long form (bnc#1105025). - CVE-2018-18386: drivers/tty/n_tty.c allowed local attackers (who are able to access pseudo terminals) to hang/block further usage of any pseudo terminal devices due to an EXTPROC versus ICANON confusion in TIOCINQ (bnc#1094825). - CVE-2018-9516: A lack of certain checks in the hid_debug_events_read() function in the drivers/hid/hid-debug.c file might have resulted in receiving userspace buffer overflow and an out-of-bounds write or to the infinite loop. (bnc#1108498).

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section. The kernel-alt packages provide the Linux kernel version 4.x. Security Fix(es) : * An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of Load & Store instructions (a commonly used performance optimization). It relies on the presence of a precisely-defined instruction sequence in the privileged code as well as the fact that memory read from address to which a recent memory write has occurred may see an older value and subsequently cause an update into the microprocessor last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 118513 published 2018-10-31 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2018-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/118513 title RHEL 7 : kernel-alt (RHSA-2018:2948) (Spectre) NASL family Huawei Local Security Checks NASL id EULEROS_SA-2018-1297.NASL description According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the way a local user could create keyrings for other users via keyctl commands. This may allow an attacker to set unwanted defaults, a denial of service, or possibly leak keyring information between users.(CVE-2017-18270) - A null pointer dereference in dccp_write_xmit() function in net/dccp/output.c in the Linux kernel allows a local user to cause a denial of service by a number of certain crafted system calls.(CVE-2018-1130) - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, before 4.16.6 where the cdrom_ioctl_media_changed function in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c allows local attackers to use a incorrect bounds check in the CDROM driver CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl to read out kernel memory.(CVE-2018-10940) Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory.

The following security bugs were fixed : - CVE-2018-13093: Prevent NULL pointer dereference and panic in lookup_slow() on a NULL inode->i_ops pointer when doing pathwalks on a corrupted xfs image. This occured because of a lack of proper validation that cached inodes are free during allocation (bnc#1100001). - CVE-2018-13095: Prevent denial of service (memory corruption and BUG) that could have occured for a corrupted xfs image upon encountering an inode that is in extent format, but has more extents than fit in the inode fork (bnc#1099999). - CVE-2018-13094: Prevent OOPS that might have occured for a corrupted xfs image after xfs_da_shrink_inode() is called with a NULL bp (bnc#1100000). - CVE-2018-12896: Prevent integer overflow in the POSIX timer code is caused by the way the overrun accounting works. Depending on interval and expiry time values, the overrun could have been larger than INT_MAX, but the accounting is int based. This basically made the accounting values, which are visible to user space via timer_getoverrun(2) and siginfo::si_overrun, random. For example, a local user could have caused a denial of service (signed integer overflow) via crafted mmap, futex, timer_create, and timer_settime system calls (bnc#1099922). - CVE-2018-16658: Prevent information leak in cdrom_ioctl_drive_status that could have been used by local attackers to read kernel memory because a cast from unsigned long to int interferes with bounds checking (bnc#1107689). - CVE-2018-10940: The cdrom_ioctl_media_changed function allowed local attackers to use a incorrect bounds check in the CDROM driver CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl to read out kernel memory (bsc#1092903). - CVE-2018-6555: The irda_setsockopt function allowed local users to cause a denial of service (ias_object use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an AF_IRDA socket (bnc#1106511). - CVE-2018-6554: Prevent memory leak in the irda_bind function that allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by repeatedly binding an AF_IRDA socket (bnc#1106509). - CVE-2018-1129: A flaw was found in the way signature calculation was handled by cephx authentication protocol. An attacker having access to ceph cluster network who is able to alter the message payload was able to bypass signature checks done by cephx protocol (bnc#1096748). - CVE-2018-1128: It was found that cephx authentication protocol did not verify ceph clients correctly and was vulnerable to replay attack. Any attacker having access to ceph cluster network who is able to sniff packets on network can use this vulnerability to authenticate with ceph service and perform actions allowed by ceph service (bnc#1096748). - CVE-2018-10938: A crafted network packet sent remotely by an attacker could have forced the kernel to enter an infinite loop in the cipso_v4_optptr() function leading to a denial-of-service (bnc#1106016). - CVE-2018-15572: The spectre_v2_select_mitigation function did not always fill RSB upon a context switch, which made it easier for attackers to conduct userspace-userspace spectreRSB attacks (bnc#1102517). - CVE-2018-10902: The raw midi kernel driver did not protect against concurrent access which lead to a double realloc (double free) in snd_rawmidi_input_params() and snd_rawmidi_output_status(), allowing a malicious local attacker to use this for privilege escalation (bnc#1105322). - CVE-2018-9363: Prevent buffer overflow in hidp_process_report (bsc#1105292). The following non-security bugs were fixed : - 9p/net: Fix zero-copy path in the 9p virtio transport (bnc#1012382). - 9p/virtio: fix off-by-one error in sg list bounds check (bnc#1012382). - 9p: fix multiple NULL-pointer-dereferences (bnc#1012382). - ACPI / LPSS: Add missing prv_offset setting for byt/cht PWM devices (bnc#1012382). - ACPI / PCI: Bail early in acpi_pci_add_bus() if there is no ACPI handle (bnc#1012382). - ACPI / PM: save NVS memory for ASUS 1025C laptop (bnc#1012382). - ACPI: save NVS memory for Lenovo G50-45 (bnc#1012382). - ALSA: cs5535audio: Fix invalid endian conversion (bnc#1012382). - ALSA: emu10k1: Rate-limit error messages about page errors (bnc#1012382). - ALSA: emu10k1: add error handling for snd_ctl_add (bnc#1012382). - ALSA: fm801: add error handling for snd_ctl_add (bnc#1012382). - ALSA: hda - Sleep for 10ms after entering D3 on Conexant codecs (bnc#1012382). - ALSA: hda - Turn CX8200 into D3 as well upon reboot (bnc#1012382). - ALSA: hda/ca0132: fix build failure when a local macro is defined (bnc#1012382). - ALSA: hda: Correct Asrock B85M-ITX power_save blacklist entry (bnc#1012382). - ALSA: memalloc: Do not exceed over the requested size (bnc#1012382). - ALSA: rawmidi: Change resized buffers atomically (bnc#1012382). - ALSA: snd-aoa: add of_node_put() in error path (bsc#1099810). - ALSA: usb-audio: Apply rate limit to warning messages in URB complete callback (bnc#1012382). - ALSA: virmidi: Fix too long output trigger loop (bnc#1012382). - ALSA: vx222: Fix invalid endian conversions (bnc#1012382). - ALSA: vxpocket: Fix invalid endian conversions (bnc#1012382). - ARC: Enable machine_desc->init_per_cpu for !CONFIG_SMP (bnc#1012382). - ARC: Explicitly add -mmedium-calls to CFLAGS (bnc#1012382). - ARC: Fix CONFIG_SWAP (bnc#1012382). - ARC: mm: allow mprotect to make stack mappings executable (bnc#1012382). - ARM: 8780/1: ftrace: Only set kernel memory back to read-only after boot (bnc#1012382). - ARM: dts: Cygnus: Fix I2C controller interrupt type (bnc#1012382). - ARM: dts: am3517.dtsi: Disable reference to OMAP3 OTG controller (bnc#1012382). - ARM: dts: am437x: make edt-ft5x06 a wakeup source (bnc#1012382). - ARM: dts: da850: Fix interrups property for gpio (bnc#1012382). - ARM: dts: imx6sx: fix irq for pcie bridge (bnc#1012382). - ARM: fix put_user() for gcc-8 (bnc#1012382). - ARM: imx_v4_v5_defconfig: Select ULPI support (bnc#1012382). - ARM: imx_v6_v7_defconfig: Select ULPI support (bnc#1012382). - ARM: pxa: irq: fix handling of ICMR registers in suspend/resume (bnc#1012382). - ARM: tegra: Fix Tegra30 Cardhu PCA954x reset (bnc#1012382). - ASoC: Intel: cht_bsw_max98090: remove useless code, align with ChromeOS driver (git-fixes). - ASoC: Intel: cht_bsw_max98090_ti: Fix jack initialization (bnc#1012382). - ASoC: dpcm: do not merge format from invalid codec dai (bnc#1012382). - ASoC: dpcm: fix BE dai not hw_free and shutdown (bnc#1012382). - ASoC: pxa: Fix module autoload for platform drivers (bnc#1012382). - ASoC: sirf: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference (bnc#1012382). - Add reference to bsc#1091171 (bnc#1012382; bsc#1091171). - Bluetooth: avoid killing an already killed socket (bnc#1012382). - Bluetooth: btusb: Add a new Realtek 8723DE ID 2ff8:b011 (bnc#1012382). - Bluetooth: btusb: Remove Yoga 920 from the btusb_needs_reset_resume_table (bsc#1087092). - Bluetooth: btusb: Use DMI matching for QCA reset_resume quirking (bsc#1087092). - Bluetooth: hci_qca: Fix last seen 2020-06-05 modified 2018-09-17 plugin id 117523 published 2018-09-17 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2018-2020 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/117523 title openSUSE Security Update : the Linux Kernel (openSUSE-2018-1016) NASL family Huawei Local Security Checks NASL id EULEROS_SA-2018-1263.NASL description According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - A statement in the System Programming Guide of the Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer last seen 2020-03-19 modified 2018-09-18 plugin id 117572 published 2018-09-18 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2018-2020 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/117572 title EulerOS Virtualization 2.5.1 : kernel (EulerOS-SA-2018-1263) NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id OPENSUSE-2018-1140.NASL description The openSUSE Leap 15.0 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

CVE-2018-9516: An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel, the copy_to_user() inside the HID code does not correctly check the length before executing (bsc#1108498). CVE-2018-14633: A security flaw was found in the chap_server_compute_md5() function in the ISCSI target code in the Linux kernel in a way an authentication request from an ISCSI initiator is processed. An unauthenticated remote attacker can cause a stack buffer overflow and smash up to 17 bytes of the stack. The attack requires the iSCSI target to be enabled on the victim host.

A local attacker may be able to exploit this to cause a denial of service.(CVE-2018-10124) - The xfs_dinode_verify function in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_inode_buf.c in the Linux kernel can cause a NULL pointer dereference in xfs_ilock_attr_map_shared function. An attacker could trick a legitimate user or a privileged attacker could exploit this by mounting a crafted xfs filesystem image to cause a kernel panic and thus a denial of service.(CVE-2018-10322) - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 124830 published 2019-05-13 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2019-2020 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/124830 title EulerOS Virtualization 3.0.1.0 : kernel (EulerOS-SA-2019-1507) NASL family OracleVM Local Security Checks NASL id ORACLEVM_OVMSA-2018-0284.NASL description The remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address critical security updates : - Revert commit 8bd274934987 ( last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 119292 published 2018-11-30 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2018-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/119292 title OracleVM 3.4 : Unbreakable / etc (OVMSA-2018-0284) NASL family Huawei Local Security Checks NASL id EULEROS_SA-2019-1156.NASL description According 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 through 4.19. An information leak in cdrom_ioctl_select_disc in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c could be used by local attackers to read kernel memory because a cast from unsigned long to int interferes with bounds checking. This is similar to CVE-2018-10940 and CVE-2018-16658.(CVE-2018-18710) - A flaw was found in mmap in the Linux kernel allowing the process to map a null page. This allows attackers to abuse this mechanism to turn null pointer dereferences into workable exploits.(CVE-2019-9213) - The Linux kernel does not properly initialize memory in messages passed between virtual guests and the host operating system in the vhost/vhost.c:vhost_new_msg() function. This can allow local privileged users to read some kernel memory contents when reading from the /dev/vhost-net device file.(CVE-2018-1118) - It was found that the raw midi kernel driver does not protect against concurrent access which leads to a double realloc (double free) in snd_rawmidi_input_params() and snd_rawmidi_output_status() which are part of snd_rawmidi_ioctl() handler in rawmidi.c file. A malicious local attacker could possibly use this for privilege escalation.(CVE-2018-10902) - A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel last seen 2020-05-06 modified 2019-04-02 plugin id 123630 published 2019-04-02 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2019-2020 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/123630 title EulerOS 2.0 SP5 : kernel (EulerOS-SA-2019-1156)
