Summary

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.11, as used in Xen through 4.11.x. The xen_failsafe_callback entry point in arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S does not properly maintain RBX, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (uninitialized memory usage and system crash). Within Xen, 64-bit x86 PV Linux guest OS users can trigger a guest OS crash or possibly gain privileges.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Leveraging Race Conditions
    This attack targets a race condition occurring when multiple processes access and manipulate the same resource concurrently and the outcome of the execution depends on the particular order in which the access takes place. The attacker can leverage a race condition by "running the race", modifying the resource and modifying the normal execution flow. For instance a race condition can occur while accessing a file, the attacker can trick the system by replacing the original file with his version and cause the system to read the malicious file.
  • Leveraging Time-of-Check and Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) Race Conditions
    This attack targets a race condition occurring between the time of check (state) for a resource and the time of use of a resource. The typical example is the file access. The attacker can leverage a file access race condition by "running the race", meaning that he would modify the resource between the first time the target program accesses the file and the time the target program uses the file. During that period of time, the attacker could do something such as replace the file and cause an escalation of privilege.

    descriptionM. Vefa Bicakci and Andy Lutomirski discovered that the kernel did not properly set up all arguments to an error handler callback used when running as a paravirtualized guest. An unprivileged attacker in a paravirtualized guest VM could use this to cause a denial of service (guest VM crash). (CVE-2018-14678) It was discovered that the KVM implementation in the Linux kernel on ARM 64bit processors did not properly handle some ioctls. An attacker with the privilege to create KVM-based virtual machines could use this to cause a denial of service (host system crash) or execute arbitrary code in the host. (CVE-2018-18021) Mathias Payer and Hui Peng discovered a use-after-free vulnerability in the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) subsystem. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2018-19824) Shlomi Oberman, Yuli Shapiro, and Ran Menscher discovered an information leak in the Bluetooth implementation of the Linux kernel. An attacker within Bluetooth range could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2019-3459, CVE-2019-3460) Jann Horn discovered that the KVM implementation in the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker in a guest VM with access to /dev/kvm could use this to cause a denial of service (guest VM crash). (CVE-2019-6974) Jim Mattson and Felix Wilhelm discovered a use-after-free vulnerability in the KVM subsystem of the Linux kernel, when using nested virtual machines. A local attacker in a guest VM could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code in the host system. (CVE-2019-7221) Felix Wilhelm discovered that an information leak vulnerability existed in the KVM subsystem of the Linux kernel, when nested virtualization is used. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (host system memory to a guest VM). (CVE-2019-7222) Jann Horn discovered that the eBPF implementation in the Linux kernel was insufficiently hardened against Spectre V1 attacks. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2019-7308) It was discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the user- space API for crypto (af_alg) implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-8912) It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate memory when handling certain errors while reading files. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (excessive memory consumption). (CVE-2019-8980) Jann Horn discovered that the mmap implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly check for the mmap minimum address in some situations. A local attacker could use this to assist exploiting a kernel NULL pointer dereference vulnerability. (CVE-2019-9213). 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.

    descriptionSeveral vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks. - CVE-2018-6554 A memory leak in the irda_bind function in the irda subsystem was discovered. A local user can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service (memory consumption). - CVE-2018-6555 A flaw was discovered in the irda_setsockopt function in the irda subsystem, allowing a local user to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash). - CVE-2018-7755 Brian Belleville discovered a flaw in the fd_locked_ioctl function in the floppy driver in the Linux kernel. The floppy driver copies a kernel pointer to user memory in response to the FDGETPRM ioctl. A local user with access to a floppy drive device can take advantage of this flaw to discover the location kernel code and data. - CVE-2018-9363 It was discovered that the Bluetooth HIDP implementation did not correctly check the length of received report messages. A paired HIDP device could use this to cause a buffer overflow, leading to denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or potentially remote code execution. - CVE-2018-9516 It was discovered that the HID events interface in debugfs did not correctly limit the length of copies to user buffers. A local user with access to these files could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation. However, by default debugfs is only accessible by the root user. - CVE-2018-10902 It was discovered that the rawmidi kernel driver does not protect against concurrent access which leads to a double-realloc (double free) flaw. A local attacker can take advantage of this issue for privilege escalation. - CVE-2018-10938 Yves Younan from Cisco reported that the Cipso IPv4 module did not correctly check the length of IPv4 options. On custom kernels with CONFIG_NETLABEL enabled, a remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (hang). - CVE-2018-13099 Wen Xu from SSLab at Gatech reported a use-after-free bug in the F2FS implementation. An attacker able to mount a crafted F2FS volume could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation. - CVE-2018-14609 Wen Xu from SSLab at Gatech reported a potential NULL pointer dereference in the F2FS implementation. An attacker able to mount a crafted F2FS volume could use this to cause a denial of service (crash). - CVE-2018-14617 Wen Xu from SSLab at Gatech reported a potential NULL pointer dereference in the HFS+ implementation. An attacker able to mount a crafted HFS+ volume could use this to cause a denial of service (crash). - CVE-2018-14633 Vincent Pelletier discovered a stack-based buffer overflow flaw in the chap_server_compute_md5() function in the iSCSI target code. An unauthenticated remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service or possibly to get a non-authorized access to data exported by an iSCSI target. - CVE-2018-14678 M. Vefa Bicakci and Andy Lutomirski discovered a flaw in the kernel exit code used on amd64 systems running as Xen PV guests. A local user could use this to cause a denial of service (crash). - CVE-2018-14734 A use-after-free bug was discovered in the InfiniBand communication manager. A local user could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possible for privilege escalation. - CVE-2018-15572 Esmaiel Mohammadian Koruyeh, Khaled Khasawneh, Chengyu Song, and Nael Abu-Ghazaleh, from University of California, Riverside, reported a variant of Spectre variant 2, dubbed SpectreRSB. A local user may be able to use this to read sensitive information from processes owned by other users. - CVE-2018-15594 Nadav Amit reported that some indirect function calls used in paravirtualised guests were vulnerable to Spectre variant 2. A local user may be able to use this to read sensitive information from the kernel. - CVE-2018-16276 Jann Horn discovered that the yurex driver did not correctly limit the length of copies to user buffers. A local user with access to a yurex device node could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation. - CVE-2018-16658 It was discovered that the cdrom driver does not correctly validate the parameter to the CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS ioctl. A user with access to a cdrom device could use this to read sensitive information from the kernel or to cause a denial of service (crash). - CVE-2018-17182 Jann Horn discovered that the vmacache_flush_all function mishandles sequence number overflows. A local user can take advantage of this flaw to trigger a use-after-free, causing a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or privilege escalation.

"Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that
may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information
leaks.

  - CVE-2018-6554
    A memory leak in the irda_bind function in the irda
    subsystem was discovered. A local user can take
    advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service
    (memory consumption).

  - CVE-2018-6555
    A flaw was discovered in the irda_setsockopt function in
    the irda subsystem, allowing a local user to cause a
    denial of service (use-after-free and system crash).

  - CVE-2018-7755
    Brian Belleville discovered a flaw in the
    fd_locked_ioctl function in the floppy driver in the
    Linux kernel. The floppy driver copies a kernel pointer
    to user memory in response to the FDGETPRM ioctl. A
    local user with access to a floppy drive device can take
    advantage of this flaw to discover the location kernel
    code and data.

  - CVE-2018-9363
    It was discovered that the Bluetooth HIDP implementation
    did not correctly check the length of received report
    messages. A paired HIDP device could use this to cause a
    buffer overflow, leading to denial of service (memory
    corruption or crash) or potentially remote code
    execution.

  - CVE-2018-9516
    It was discovered that the HID events interface in
    debugfs did not correctly limit the length of copies to
    user buffers. A local user with access to these files
    could use this to cause a denial of service (memory
    corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege
    escalation. However, by default debugfs is only
    accessible by the root user.

  - CVE-2018-10902
    It was discovered that the rawmidi kernel driver does
    not protect against concurrent access which leads to a
    double-realloc (double free) flaw. A local attacker can
    take advantage of this issue for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2018-10938
    Yves Younan from Cisco reported that the Cipso IPv4
    module did not correctly check the length of IPv4
    options. On custom kernels with CONFIG_NETLABEL enabled,
    a remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of
    service (hang).

  - CVE-2018-13099
    Wen Xu from SSLab at Gatech reported a use-after-free
    bug in the F2FS implementation. An attacker able to
    mount a crafted F2FS volume could use this to cause a
    denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or
    possibly for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2018-14609
    Wen Xu from SSLab at Gatech reported a potential NULL
    pointer dereference in the F2FS implementation. An
    attacker able to mount a crafted F2FS volume could use
    this to cause a denial of service (crash).

  - CVE-2018-14617
    Wen Xu from SSLab at Gatech reported a potential NULL
    pointer dereference in the HFS+ implementation. An
    attacker able to mount a crafted HFS+ volume could use
    this to cause a denial of service (crash).

  - CVE-2018-14633
    Vincent Pelletier discovered a stack-based buffer
    overflow flaw in the chap_server_compute_md5() function
    in the iSCSI target code. An unauthenticated remote
    attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause a
    denial of service or possibly to get a non-authorized
    access to data exported by an iSCSI target.

  - CVE-2018-14678
    M. Vefa Bicakci and Andy Lutomirski discovered a flaw in
    the kernel exit code used on amd64 systems running as
    Xen PV guests. A local user could use this to cause a
    denial of service (crash).

  - CVE-2018-14734
    A use-after-free bug was discovered in the InfiniBand
    communication manager. A local user could use this to
    cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption)
    or possible for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2018-15572
    Esmaiel Mohammadian Koruyeh, Khaled Khasawneh, Chengyu
    Song, and Nael Abu-Ghazaleh, from University of
    California, Riverside, reported a variant of Spectre
    variant 2, dubbed SpectreRSB. A local user may be able
    to use this to read sensitive information from processes
    owned by other users.

  - CVE-2018-15594
    Nadav Amit reported that some indirect function calls
    used in paravirtualised guests were vulnerable to
    Spectre variant 2. A local user may be able to use this
    to read sensitive information from the kernel.

  - CVE-2018-16276
    Jann Horn discovered that the yurex driver did not
    correctly limit the length of copies to user buffers. A
    local user with access to a yurex device node could use
    this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or
    crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2018-16658
    It was discovered that the cdrom driver does not
    correctly validate the parameter to the
    CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS ioctl. A user with access to a cdrom
    device could use this to read sensitive information from
    the kernel or to cause a denial of service (crash).

  - CVE-2018-17182
    Jann Horn discovered that the vmacache_flush_all
    function mishandles sequence number overflows. A local
    user can take advantage of this flaw to trigger a
    use-after-free, causing a denial of service (crash or
    memory corruption) or privilege escalation."

    descriptionSeveral vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks. CVE-2018-6554 A memory leak in the irda_bind function in the irda subsystem was discovered. A local user can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service (memory consumption). CVE-2018-6555 A flaw was discovered in the irda_setsockopt function in the irda subsystem, allowing a local user to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash). CVE-2018-7755 Brian Belleville discovered a flaw in the fd_locked_ioctl function in the floppy driver in the Linux kernel. The floppy driver copies a kernel pointer to user memory in response to the FDGETPRM ioctl. A local user with access to a floppy drive device can take advantage of this flaw to discover the location kernel code and data. CVE-2018-9363 It was discovered that the Bluetooth HIDP implementation did not correctly check the length of received report messages. A paired HIDP device could use this to cause a buffer overflow, leading to denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or potentially remote code execution. CVE-2018-9516 It was discovered that the HID events interface in debugfs did not correctly limit the length of copies to user buffers. A local user with access to these files could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation. However, by default debugfs is only accessible by the root user. CVE-2018-10902 It was discovered that the rawmidi kernel driver does not protect against concurrent access which leads to a double-realloc (double free) flaw. A local attacker can take advantage of this issue for privilege escalation. CVE-2018-10938 Yves Younan from Cisco reported that the Cipso IPv4 module did not correctly check the length of IPv4 options. On custom kernels with CONFIG_NETLABEL enabled, a remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (hang). CVE-2018-13099 Wen Xu from SSLab at Gatech reported a use-after-free bug in the F2FS implementation. An attacker able to mount a crafted F2FS volume could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2018-14609 Wen Xu from SSLab at Gatech reported a potential NULL pointer dereference in the F2FS implementation. An attacker able to mount arbitrary F2FS volumes could use this to cause a denial of service (crash). CVE-2018-14617 Wen Xu from SSLab at Gatech reported a potential NULL pointer dereference in the HFS+ implementation. An attacker able to mount arbitrary HFS+ volumes could use this to cause a denial of service (crash). CVE-2018-14633 Vincent Pelletier discovered a stack-based buffer overflow flaw in the chap_server_compute_md5() function in the iSCSI target code. An unauthenticated remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service or possibly to get a non-authorized access to data exported by an iSCSI target. CVE-2018-14678 M. Vefa Bicakci and Andy Lutomirski discovered a flaw in the kernel exit code used on amd64 systems running as Xen PV guests. A local user could use this to cause a denial of service (crash). CVE-2018-14734 A use-after-free bug was discovered in the InfiniBand communication manager. A local user could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possible for privilege escalation. CVE-2018-15572 Esmaiel Mohammadian Koruyeh, Khaled Khasawneh, Chengyu Song, and Nael Abu-Ghazaleh, from University of California, Riverside, reported a variant of Spectre variant 2, dubbed SpectreRSB. A local user may be able to use this to read sensitive information from processes owned by other users. CVE-2018-15594 Nadav Amit reported that some indirect function calls used in paravirtualised guests were vulnerable to Spectre variant 2. A local user may be able to use this to read sensitive information from the kernel. CVE-2018-16276 Jann Horn discovered that the yurex driver did not correctly limit the length of copies to user buffers. A local user with access to a yurex device node could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2018-16658 It was discovered that the cdrom driver does not correctly validate the parameter to the CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS ioctl. A user with access to a cdrom device could use this to read sensitive information from the kernel or to cause a denial of service (crash). CVE-2018-17182 Jann Horn discovered that the vmacache_flush_all function mishandles sequence number overflows. A local user can take advantage of this flaw to trigger a use-after-free, causing a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or privilege escalation. For Debian 8

    descriptionUSN-3931-1 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 and for the Linux Azure kernel for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. M. Vefa Bicakci and Andy Lutomirski discovered that the kernel did not properly set up all arguments to an error handler callback used when running as a paravirtualized guest. An unprivileged attacker in a paravirtualized guest VM could use this to cause a denial of service (guest VM crash). (CVE-2018-14678) It was discovered that the KVM implementation in the Linux kernel on ARM 64bit processors did not properly handle some ioctls. An attacker with the privilege to create KVM-based virtual machines could use this to cause a denial of service (host system crash) or execute arbitrary code in the host. (CVE-2018-18021) Mathias Payer and Hui Peng discovered a use-after-free vulnerability in the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) subsystem. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2018-19824) Shlomi Oberman, Yuli Shapiro, and Ran Menscher discovered an information leak in the Bluetooth implementation of the Linux kernel. An attacker within Bluetooth range could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2019-3459, CVE-2019-3460) Jann Horn discovered that the KVM implementation in the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker in a guest VM with access to /dev/kvm could use this to cause a denial of service (guest VM crash). (CVE-2019-6974) Jim Mattson and Felix Wilhelm discovered a use-after-free vulnerability in the KVM subsystem of the Linux kernel, when using nested virtual machines. A local attacker in a guest VM could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code in the host system. (CVE-2019-7221) Felix Wilhelm discovered that an information leak vulnerability existed in the KVM subsystem of the Linux kernel, when nested virtualization is used. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (host system memory to a guest VM). (CVE-2019-7222) Jann Horn discovered that the eBPF implementation in the Linux kernel was insufficiently hardened against Spectre V1 attacks. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2019-7308) It was discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the user- space API for crypto (af_alg) implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-8912) It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate memory when handling certain errors while reading files. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (excessive memory consumption). (CVE-2019-8980) Jann Horn discovered that the mmap implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly check for the mmap minimum address in some situations. A local attacker could use this to assist exploiting a kernel NULL pointer dereference vulnerability. (CVE-2019-9213). 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.
