Summary

The sr_do_ioctl function in drivers/scsi/sr_ioctl.c in the Linux kernel through 4.16.12 allows local users to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact because sense buffers have different sizes at the CDROM layer and the SCSI layer, as demonstrated by a CDROMREADMODE2 ioctl call.

    "Linux 4.9 has been packaged for Debian 8 as linux-4.9. This provides a
    supported upgrade path for systems that currently use kernel packages
    from the 'jessie-backports' suite.
    
    There is no need to upgrade systems using Linux 3.16, as that kernel
    version will also continue to be supported in the LTS period.
    
    This backport does not include the following binary packages :
    
    hyperv-daemons libcpupower1 libcpupower-dev libusbip-dev
    linux-compiler-gcc-4.9-x86 linux-cpupower linux-libc-dev usbip
    
    Older versions of most of those are built from other source packages
    in Debian 8.
    
    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that
    may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information
    leaks.
    
    CVE-2017-5753
    
    Further instances of code that was vulnerable to Spectre variant 1
    (bounds-check bypass) have been mitigated.
    
    CVE-2017-18255
    
    It was discovered that the performance events subsystem did not
    properly validate the value of the kernel.perf_cpu_time_max_percent
    sysctl. Setting a large value could have an unspecified security
    impact. However, only a privileged user can set this sysctl.
    
    CVE-2018-1118
    
    The syzbot software found that the vhost driver did not initialise
    message buffers which would later be read by user processes. A user
    with access to the /dev/vhost-net device could use this to read
    sensitive information from the kernel or other users' processes.
    
    CVE-2018-1120
    
    Qualys reported that a user able to mount FUSE filesystems can create
    a process such that when another process attempting to read its
    command line will be blocked for an arbitrarily long time. This could
    be used for denial of service, or to aid in exploiting a race
    condition in the other program.
    
    CVE-2018-1130
    
    The syzbot software found that the DCCP implementation of sendmsg()
    does not check the socket state, potentially leading to a NULL pointer
    dereference. A local user could use this to cause a denial of service
    (crash). 
    
    CVE-2018-3639
    
    Multiple researchers have discovered that Speculative Store Bypass
    (SSB), a feature implemented in many processors, could be used to read
    sensitive information from another context. In particular, code in a
    software sandbox may be able to read sensitive information from
    outside the sandbox. This issue is also known as Spectre variant 4.
    
    This update allows the issue to be mitigated on some x86
    processors by disabling SSB. This requires an update to the
    processor's microcode, which is non-free. It may be included
    in an update to the system BIOS or UEFI firmware, or in a
    future update to the intel-microcode or amd64-microcode
    packages.
    
    Disabling SSB can reduce performance significantly, so by
    default it is only done in tasks that use the seccomp
    feature. Applications that require this mitigation should
    request it explicitly through the prctl() system call. Users
    can control where the mitigation is enabled with the
    spec_store_bypass_disable kernel parameter.
    
    CVE-2018-5814
    
    Jakub Jirasek reported race conditions in the USB/IP host driver. A
    malicious client could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or
    memory corruption), and possibly to execute code, on a USB/IP server.
    
    CVE-2018-10021
    
    A physically present attacker who unplugs a SAS cable can cause a
    denial of service (memory leak and WARN).
    
    CVE-2018-10087, CVE-2018-10124
    
    zhongjiang found that the wait4() and kill() system call
    implementations did not check for the invalid pid value of INT_MIN. If
    a user passed this value, the behaviour of the code was formally
    undefined and might have had a security impact.
    
    CVE-2018-10853
    
    Andy Lutomirski and Mika Penttil&auml; reported that KVM for x86
    processors did not perform a necessary privilege check when emulating
    certain instructions. This could be used by an unprivileged user in a
    guest VM to escalate their privileges within the guest.
    
    CVE-2018-10876, CVE-2018-10877, CVE-2018-10878, CVE-2018-10879,
    CVE-2018-10880, CVE-2018-10881, CVE-2018-10882, CVE-2018-10883
    
    Wen Xu at SSLab, Gatech, reported that crafted ext4 filesystem images
    could trigger a crash or memory corruption. A local user able to mount
    arbitrary filesystems, or an attacker providing filesystems to be
    mounted, could use this for denial of service or possibly for
    privilege escalation.
    
    CVE-2018-10940
    
    Dan Carpenter reported that the optical disc driver (cdrom) does not
    correctly validate the parameter to the CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl. A
    user with access to a cdrom device could use this to cause a denial of
    service (crash).
    
    CVE-2018-11506
    
    Piotr Gabriel Kosinski and Daniel Shapira reported that the SCSI
    optical disc driver (sr) did not allocate a sufficiently large buffer
    for sense data. A user with access to a SCSI optical disc device that
    can produce more than 64 bytes of sense data could use this to cause a
    denial of service (crash or memory corruption), and possibly for
    privilege escalation.
    
    CVE-2018-12233
    
    Shankara Pailoor reported that a crafted JFS filesystem image could
    trigger a denial of service (memory corruption). This could possibly
    also be used for privilege escalation.
    
    CVE-2018-1000204
    
    The syzbot software found that the SCSI generic driver (sg) would in
    some circumstances allow reading data from uninitialised buffers,
    which could include sensitive information from the kernel or other
    tasks. However, only privileged users with the CAP_SYS_ADMIN or
    CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability were allowed to do this, so this has little
    or no security impact.
    
    For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version
    4.9.110-1~deb8u1. This update additionally fixes Debian bugs #860900,
    #872907, #892057, #896775, #897590, and #898137; and includes many
    more bug fixes from stable updates 4.9.89-4.9.110 inclusive.
    
    We recommend that you upgrade your linux-4.9 packages.

    descriptionUSN-3752-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. It was discovered that, when attempting to handle an out-of-memory situation, a NULL pointer dereference could be triggered in the Linux kernel in some circumstances. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2018-1000200) Wen Xu discovered that the XFS filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate meta-data information. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious xfs image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2018-10323) Wen Xu discovered that the XFS filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate xattr information. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious xfs image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-10840) Wen Xu discovered that the ext4 filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly keep meta-data information consistent in some situations. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious ext4 image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2018-10881) Wen Xu discovered that the ext4 filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle corrupted meta data in some situations.

    descriptionThe previous update to linux failed to build for the armhf (ARM EABI hard-float) architecture. This update corrects that. 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

    descriptionAn update for kernel-alt is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. 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
