Summary

arch/arm64/kvm/guest.c in KVM in the Linux kernel before 4.18.12 on the arm64 platform mishandles the KVM_SET_ON_REG ioctl. This is exploitable by attackers who can create virtual machines. An attacker can arbitrarily redirect the hypervisor flow of control (with full register control). An attacker can also cause a denial of service (hypervisor panic) via an illegal exception return. This occurs because of insufficient restrictions on userspace access to the core register file, and because PSTATE.M validation does not prevent unintended execution modes.

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.
  • Server Side Include (SSI) Injection
    An attacker can use Server Side Include (SSI) Injection to send code to a web application that then gets executed by the web server. Doing so enables the attacker to achieve similar results to Cross Site Scripting, viz., arbitrary code execution and information disclosure, albeit on a more limited scale, since the SSI directives are nowhere near as powerful as a full-fledged scripting language. Nonetheless, the attacker can conveniently gain access to sensitive files, such as password files, and execute shell commands.
  • Cross Zone Scripting
    An attacker is able to cause a victim to load content into their web-browser that bypasses security zone controls and gain access to increased privileges to execute scripting code or other web objects such as unsigned ActiveX controls or applets. This is a privilege elevation attack targeted at zone-based web-browser security. In a zone-based model, pages belong to one of a set of zones corresponding to the level of privilege assigned to that page. Pages in an untrusted zone would have a lesser level of access to the system and/or be restricted in the types of executable content it was allowed to invoke. In a cross-zone scripting attack, a page that should be assigned to a less privileged zone is granted the privileges of a more trusted zone. This can be accomplished by exploiting bugs in the browser, exploiting incorrect configuration in the zone controls, through a cross-site scripting attack that causes the attackers' content to be treated as coming from a more trusted page, or by leveraging some piece of system functionality that is accessible from both the trusted and less trusted zone. This attack differs from "Restful Privilege Escalation" in that the latter correlates to the inadequate securing of RESTful access methods (such as HTTP DELETE) on the server, while cross-zone scripting attacks the concept of security zones as implemented by a browser.
  • Cross Site Scripting through Log Files
    An attacker may leverage a system weakness where logs are susceptible to log injection to insert scripts into the system's logs. If these logs are later viewed by an administrator through a thin administrative interface and the log data is not properly HTML encoded before being written to the page, the attackers' scripts stored in the log will be executed in the administrative interface with potentially serious consequences. This attack pattern is really a combination of two other attack patterns: log injection and stored cross site scripting.
  • Command Line Execution through SQL Injection
    An attacker uses standard SQL injection methods to inject data into the command line for execution. This could be done directly through misuse of directives such as MSSQL_xp_cmdshell or indirectly through injection of data into the database that would be interpreted as shell commands. Sometime later, an unscrupulous backend application (or could be part of the functionality of the same application) fetches the injected data stored in the database and uses this data as command line arguments without performing proper validation. The malicious data escapes that data plane by spawning new commands to be executed on the host.

    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.

updates.");
  script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value:
"According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the
EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is
affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The offset2lib patch as used in the Linux Kernel
    contains a vulnerability that allows a PIE binary to be
    execve()'ed with 1GB of arguments or environmental
    strings then the stack occupies the address 0x80000000
    and the PIE binary is mapped above 0x40000000
    nullifying the protection of the offset2lib patch. This
    affects Linux Kernel version 4.11.5 and earlier. This
    is a different issue than CVE-2017-1000371. This issue
    appears to be limited to i386 based
    systems.(CVE-2017-1000370i1/4%0

  - Integer overflow in the LZ4 algorithm implementation,
    as used in Yann Collet LZ4 before r118 and in the
    lz4_uncompress function in lib/lz4/lz4_decompress.c in
    the Linux kernel before 3.15.2, on 32-bit platforms
    might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a
    denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have
    unspecified other impact via a crafted Literal Run that
    would be improperly handled by programs not complying
    with an API limitation, a different vulnerability than
    CVE-2014-4715.(CVE-2014-4611i1/4%0

  - The replace_map_fd_with_map_ptr function in
    kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.5
    does not properly maintain an fd data structure, which
    allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial
    of service (use-after-free) via crafted BPF
    instructions that reference an incorrect file
    descriptor.(CVE-2016-4557i1/4%0

  - The usb_destroy_configuration() function, in
    'drivers/usb/core/config.c' in the USB core subsystem,
    in the Linux kernel through 4.14.5 does not consider
    the maximum number of configurations and interfaces
    before attempting to release resources. This allows
    local users to cause a denial of service, due to
    out-of-bounds write access, or possibly have
    unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device. Due
    to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot
    be fully ruled out, although we believe it is
    unlikely.(CVE-2017-17558i1/4%0

  - The cdrom_ioctl_media_changed function in
    drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c in the Linux kernel before 4.16.6
    allows local attackers to use a incorrect bounds check
    in the CDROM driver CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl to read
    out kernel memory.(CVE-2018-10940i1/4%0

  - It was found that the parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal()
    function of the Linux kernel's ISOFS implementation did
    not correctly check relocated directories when
    processing Rock Ridge child link (CL) tags. An attacker
    with physical access to the system could use a
    specially crafted ISO image to crash the system or,
    potentially, escalate their privileges on the
    system.(CVE-2014-5471i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation
    of Unix sockets. A server polling for client-socket
    data could put the peer socket on a wait list the peer
    socket could then close the connection, making the
    reference on the wait list no longer valid. This could
    lead to bypassing the permissions on a Unix socket and
    packets being injected into the stream, and could also
    panic the machine (denial of service).(CVE-2013-7446i1/4%0

  - The do_check function in kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the
    Linux kernel before 4.11.1 does not make the
    allow_ptr_leaks value available for restricting the
    output of the print_bpf_insn function, which allows
    local users to obtain sensitive address information via
    crafted bpf system calls.(CVE-2017-9150i1/4%0

  - The WLAN (aka Wi-Fi) driver for the Linux kernel 3.x
    and 4.x, as used in Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC)
    Android contributions for MSM devices and other
    products, does not verify authorization for private SET
    IOCTL calls, which allows attackers to gain privileges
    via a crafted application, related to
    wlan_hdd_hostapd.c and
    wlan_hdd_wext.c.(CVE-2015-0571i1/4%0

  - arch/arm64/kvm/guest.c in KVM in the Linux kernel
    before 4.18.12 on the arm64 platform mishandles the
    KVM_SET_ON_REG ioctl. This is exploitable by attackers
    who can create virtual machines. An attacker can
    arbitrarily redirect the hypervisor flow of control
    (with full register control). An attacker can also
    cause a denial of service (hypervisor panic) via an
    illegal exception return. This occurs because of
    insufficient restrictions on userspace access to the
    core register file, and because PSTATE.M validation
    does not prevent unintended execution
    modes.(CVE-2018-18021i1/4%0

  - A resource-exhaustion vulnerability was found in the
    kernel, where an unprivileged process could allocate
    and accumulate far more file descriptors than the
    process' limit. A local, unauthenticated user could
    exploit this flaw by sending file descriptors over a
    Unix socket and then closing them to keep the process'
    fd count low, thereby creating kernel-memory or
    file-descriptors exhaustion (denial of
    service).(CVE-2016-2550i1/4%0

  - The Linux kernel before 3.12.4 updates certain length
    values before ensuring that associated data structures
    have been initialized, which allows local users to
    obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory
    via a (1) recvfrom, (2) recvmmsg, or (3) recvmsg system
    call, related to net/ipv4/ping.c, net/ipv4/raw.c,
    net/ipv4/udp.c, net/ipv6/raw.c, and
    net/ipv6/udp.c.(CVE-2013-7263i1/4%0

  - It is possible for a single process to cause an OOM
    condition by filling large pipes with data that are
    never read. A typical process filling 4096 pipes with 1
    MB of data will use 4 GB of memory and there can be
    multiple such processes, up to a
    per-user-limit.(CVE-2016-2847i1/4%0

  - The __get_user_asm_ex macro in
    arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h in the Linux kernel
    before 4.7.5 does not initialize a certain integer
    variable, which allows local users to obtain sensitive
    information from kernel stack memory by triggering
    failure of a get_user_ex call.(CVE-2016-9178i1/4%0

  - It was found that the x86 ISA (Instruction Set
    Architecture) is prone to a denial of service attack
    inside a virtualized environment in the form of an
    infinite loop in the microcode due to the way
    (sequential) delivering of benign exceptions such as
    #DB (debug exception) is handled. A privileged user
    inside a guest could use this flaw to create denial of
    service conditions on the host kernel.(CVE-2015-8104i1/4%0

  - The Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) subsystem in the
    Linux kernel through 4.x mishandles requests for
    Graphics Execution Manager (GEM) objects, which allows
    context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of
    service (memory consumption) via an application that
    processes graphics data, as demonstrated by JavaScript
    code that creates many CANVAS elements for rendering by
    Chrome or Firefox.(CVE-2013-7445i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel which does not
    initialize certain data structures used by DMA transfer
    on ARM64 based systems. This could allow local users to
    obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by
    triggering a dma_mmap call and reconstructing the
    data.(CVE-2015-8950i1/4%0

  - A race condition was found in the Linux kernel before
    version 4.11-rc1 in 'fs/timerfd.c' file which allows a
    local user to cause a kernel list corruption or
    use-after-free via simultaneous operations with a file
    descriptor which leverage improper 'might_cancel'
    queuing. An unprivileged local user could use this flaw
    to cause a denial of service of the system. Due to the
    nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be
    fully ruled out, although we believe it is
    unlikely.(CVE-2017-10661i1/4%0

  - The sg_ioctl() function in 'drivers/scsi/sg.c' in the
    Linux kernel, from version 4.12-rc1 to 4.14-rc2, allows
    local users to obtain sensitive information from
    uninitialized kernel heap-memory locations via an
    SG_GET_REQUEST_TABLE ioctl call for
    '/dev/sg0'.(CVE-2017-14991i1/4%0

  - A race condition in the ip4_datagram_release_cb
    function in net/ipv4/datagram.c in the Linux kernel
    allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial
    of service (use-after-free) by leveraging incorrect
    expectations about locking during multithreaded access
    to internal data structures for IPv4 UDP
    sockets.(CVE-2014-9914i1/4%0

    titleFedora 29 : kernel / kernel-headers (2018-f392ab8c84)
  • NASL familyUbuntu Local Security Checks
    NASL idUBUNTU_USN-3931-2.NASL
    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.
