Attack vector
LOCAL Attack complexity
LOW Privileges required
NONE Confidentiality impact
NONE Integrity impact
NONE Availability impact
PARTIAL Summary
The alarm_timer_nsleep function in kernel/time/alarmtimer.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3 has an integer overflow via a large relative timeout because ktime_add_safe is not used.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Forced Integer Overflow This attack forces an integer variable to go out of range. The integer variable is often used as an offset such as size of memory allocation or similarly. The attacker would typically control the value of such variable and try to get it out of range. For instance the integer in question is incremented past the maximum possible value, it may wrap to become a very small, or negative number, therefore providing a very incorrect value which can lead to unexpected behavior. At worst the attacker can execute arbitrary code.

This could lead to a denial of service or other unspecified impact.(CVE-2018-14611i1/4%0 - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel visor driver handles certain invalid USB device descriptors. The driver assumes that the device always has at least one bulk OUT endpoint. By using a specially crafted USB device (without a bulk OUT endpoint), an unprivileged user with physical access could trigger a kernel NULL-pointer dereference and cause a system panic (denial of service).(CVE-2015-7566i1/4%0 - It was found that the RFC 5961 challenge ACK rate limiting as implemented in the Linux kernel last seen 2020-03-19 modified 2019-05-14 plugin id 124983 published 2019-05-14 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/124983 title EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 3.0.1.0 : kernel (EulerOS-SA-2019-1530) NASL family Oracle Linux Local Security Checks NASL id ORACLELINUX_ELSA-2019-4577.NASL description Description of changes: [2.6.39-400.307.1.el6uek] - proc: restrict kernel stack dumps to root (John Donnelly) [Orabug: 29114880] {CVE-2018-17972} - alarmtimer: Prevent overflow for relative nanosleep (Thomas Gleixner) [Orabug: 29269182] {CVE-2018-13053} - ext4: only look at the bg_flags field if it is valid (Theodore Ts last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 122805 published 2019-03-13 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/122805 title Oracle Linux 6 : Unbreakable Enterprise kernel (ELSA-2019-4577) NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id SUSE_SU-2018-2332-1.NASL description The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP4 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed : - CVE-2018-3620: Local attackers on baremetal systems could use speculative code patterns on hyperthreaded processors to read data present in the L1 Datacache used by other hyperthreads on the same CPU core, potentially leaking sensitive data. (bnc#1087081). - CVE-2018-3646: Local attackers in virtualized guest systems could use speculative code patterns on hyperthreaded processors to read data present in the L1 Datacache used by other hyperthreads on the same CPU core, potentially leaking sensitive data, even from other virtual machines or the host system. (bnc#1089343). - CVE-2018-1000204: A malformed SG_IO ioctl issued for a SCSI device could lead to a local kernel information leak manifesting in up to approximately 1000 memory pages copied to the userspace. The problem has limited scope as non-privileged users usually have no permissions to access SCSI device files. (bnc#1096728). - CVE-2018-13053: The alarm_timer_nsleep function in kernel/time/alarmtimer.c had an integer overflow via a large relative timeout because ktime_add_safe is not used (bnc#1099924). - CVE-2018-13406: An integer overflow in the uvesafb_setcmap function in drivers/video/fbdev/uvesafb.c could result in local attackers being able to crash the kernel or potentially elevate privileges because kmalloc_array is not used (bnc#1098016 bnc#1100418). - CVE-2016-8405: An information disclosure vulnerability in kernel components including the ION subsystem, Binder, USB driver and networking subsystem could enable a local malicious application to access data outside of its permission levels. (bnc#1099942). - CVE-2018-5814: Multiple race condition errors when handling probe, disconnect, and rebind operations could be exploited to trigger a use-after-free condition or a NULL pointer dereference by sending multiple USB over IP packets (bnc#1096480). - CVE-2018-12233: In the ea_get function in fs/jfs/xattr.c a memory corruption bug in JFS can be triggered by calling setxattr twice with two different extended attribute names on the same file. This vulnerability can be triggered by an unprivileged user with the ability to create files and execute programs. (bnc#1097234). - CVE-2017-13305: A information disclosure vulnerability in the Upstream kernel encrypted-keys. (bnc#1094353). - CVE-2018-1130: A NULL pointer dereference in dccp_write_xmit() function in net/dccp/output.c allowed a local user to cause a denial of service by a number of certain crafted system calls (bnc#1092904). - CVE-2018-1068: A flaw was found in the implementation of 32-bit syscall interface for bridging. This allowed a privileged user to arbitrarily write to a limited range of kernel memory (bnc#1085107). - CVE-2018-5803: An error in the last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 111782 published 2018-08-16 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/111782 title SUSE SLES11 Security Update : kernel (SUSE-SU-2018:2332-1) (Foreshadow) NASL family Fedora Local Security Checks NASL id FEDORA_2018-8484550FFF.NASL description The v4.17.5 update contains important fixes across the tree Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
