    descriptionThe remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities: - Integer overflow in the aio_setup_single_vector function in fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel 4.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a large AIO iovec. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a CVE-2012-6701 regression. (CVE-2015-8830) - A weakness was found in the Linux ASLR implementation. Any user able to running 32-bit applications in a x86 machine can disable ASLR by setting the RLIMIT_STACK resource to unlimited. (CVE-2016-3672) - The xc2028_set_config function in drivers/media/tuners/tuner-xc2028.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via vectors involving omission of the firmware name from a certain data structure. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2016-7913) - Use-after-free vulnerability in the snd_pcm_info() function in the ALSA subsystem in the Linux kernel allows attackers to induce a kernel memory corruption and possibly crash or lock up a system. Due to the nature of the flaw, a privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2017-0861) - A reachable assertion failure flaw was found in the Linux kernel built with KVM virtualisation(CONFIG_KVM) support with Virtual Function I/O feature (CONFIG_VFIO) enabled. This failure could occur if a malicious guest device sent a virtual interrupt (guest IRQ) with a larger (>1024) index value. (CVE-2017-1000252) - Linux kernel Virtualization Module (CONFIG_KVM) for the Intel processor family (CONFIG_KVM_INTEL) is vulnerable to a DoS issue. It could occur if a guest was to flood the I/O port 0x80 with write requests. A guest user could use this flaw to crash the host kernel resulting in DoS. (CVE-2017-1000407) - A flaw was found in the processing of incoming L2CAP bluetooth commands. Uninitialized stack variables can be sent to an attacker leaking data in kernel address space. (CVE-2017-1000410) - A race condition was found in the Linux kernel before version 4.11-rc1 in

        escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we
        believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2016-7913)
    
      - Use-after-free vulnerability in the snd_pcm_info()
        function in the ALSA subsystem in the Linux kernel
        allows attackers to induce a kernel memory corruption
        and possibly crash or lock up a system. Due to the
        nature of the flaw, a privilege escalation cannot be
        fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely.
        (CVE-2017-0861)
    
      - A reachable assertion failure flaw was found in the
        Linux kernel built with KVM virtualisation(CONFIG_KVM)
        support with Virtual Function I/O feature (CONFIG_VFIO)
        enabled. This failure could occur if a malicious guest
        device sent a virtual interrupt (guest IRQ) with a
        larger (>1024) index value. (CVE-2017-1000252)
    
      - Linux kernel Virtualization Module (CONFIG_KVM) for the
        Intel processor family (CONFIG_KVM_INTEL) is vulnerable
        to a DoS issue. It could occur if a guest was to flood
        the I/O port 0x80 with write requests. A guest user
        could use this flaw to crash the host kernel resulting
        in DoS. (CVE-2017-1000407)
    
      - A flaw was found in the processing of incoming L2CAP
        bluetooth commands. Uninitialized stack variables can be
        sent to an attacker leaking data in kernel address
        space. (CVE-2017-1000410)
    
      - 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-2017-10661)
    
      - Linux kernel built with the KVM visualization support
        (CONFIG_KVM), with nested visualization (nVMX) feature
        enabled (nested=1), is vulnerable to a crash due to
        disabled external interrupts. As L2 guest could access
        (r/w) hardware CR8 register of the host(L0). In a nested
        visualization setup, L2 guest user could use this flaw
        to potentially crash the host(L0) resulting in DoS.
        (CVE-2017-12154)
    
      - It was found that in the Linux kernel through v4.14-rc5,
        bio_map_user_iov() and bio_unmap_user() in 'block/bio.c'
        do unbalanced pages refcounting if IO vector has small
        consecutive buffers belonging to the same page.
        bio_add_pc_page() merges them into one, but the page
        reference is never dropped, causing a memory leak and
        possible system lockup due to out-of-memory condition.
        (CVE-2017-12190)
    
      - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of
        valid_master_desc() in which a memory buffer would be
        compared to a userspace value with an incorrect size of
        comparison. By bruteforcing the comparison, an attacker
        could determine what was in memory after the description
        and possibly obtain sensitive information from kernel
        memory. (CVE-2017-13305)
    
      - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in a network
        namespaces code affecting the Linux kernel since
        v4.0-rc1 through v4.15-rc5. The function
        get_net_ns_by_id() does not check for the net::count
        value after it has found a peer network in netns_ids idr
        which could lead to double free and memory corruption.
        This vulnerability could allow an unprivileged local
        user to induce kernel memory corruption on the system,
        leading to a crash. Due to the nature of the flaw,
        privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although
        it is thought to be unlikely. (CVE-2017-15129)
    
      - A use-after-free vulnerability was found when issuing an
        ioctl to a sound device. This could allow a user to
        exploit a race condition and create memory corruption or
        possibly privilege escalation. (CVE-2017-15265)
    
      - A flaw was found in the implementation of associative
        arrays where the add_key systemcall and KEYCTL_UPDATE
        operations allowed for a NULL payload with a nonzero
        length. When accessing the payload within this length
        parameters value, an unprivileged user could trivially
        cause a NULL pointer dereference (kernel oops).
        (CVE-2017-15274)
    
      - The net/netfilter/nfnetlink_cthelper.c function in the
        Linux kernel through 4.14.4 does not require the
        CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for new, get, and del
        operations. This allows local users to bypass intended
        access restrictions because the nfnl_cthelper_list data
        structure is shared across all net namespaces.
        (CVE-2017-17448)
    
      - The __netlink_deliver_tap_skb function in
        net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel, through
        4.14.4, does not restrict observations of Netlink
        messages to a single net namespace, when CONFIG_NLMON is
        enabled. This allows local users to obtain sensitive
        information by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability
        to sniff an nlmon interface for all Netlink activity on
        the system. (CVE-2017-17449)
    
      - 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-2017-17558)
    
      - The Salsa20 encryption algorithm in the Linux kernel,
        before 4.14.8, does not correctly handle zero-length
        inputs. This allows a local attacker the ability to use
        the AF_ALG-based skcipher interface to cause a denial of
        service (uninitialized-memory free and kernel crash) or
        have an unspecified other impact by executing a crafted
        sequence of system calls that use the blkcipher_walk
        API. Both the generic implementation
        (crypto/salsa20_generic.c) and x86 implementation
        (arch/x86/crypto/salsa20_glue.c) of Salsa20 are
        vulnerable. (CVE-2017-17805)
    
      - The tcpmss_mangle_packet function in
        net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c in the Linux kernel before
        4.11, and 4.9.x before 4.9.36, allows remote attackers
        to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and memory
        corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by
        leveraging the presence of xt_TCPMSS in an iptables
        action. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege
        escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we
        believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2017-18017)
    
      - The Linux kernel, before version 4.14.3, is vulnerable
        to a denial of service in
        drivers/md/dm.c:dm_get_from_kobject() which can be
        caused by local users leveraging a race condition with
        __dm_destroy() during creation and removal of DM
        devices. Only privileged local users (with CAP_SYS_ADMIN
        capability) can directly perform the ioctl operations
        for dm device creation and removal and this would
        typically be outside the direct control of the
        unprivileged attacker. (CVE-2017-18203)
    
      - The madvise_willneed function in the Linux kernel allows
        local users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop)
        by triggering use of MADVISE_WILLNEED for a DAX mapping.
        (CVE-2017-18208)
    
      - A flaw was found where the kernel truncated the value
        used to indicate the size of a buffer which it would
        later become zero using an untruncated value. This can
        corrupt memory outside of the original allocation.
        (CVE-2017-9725)
    
      - In the Linux kernel versions 4.12, 3.10, 2.6, and
        possibly earlier, a race condition vulnerability exists
        in the sound system allowing for a potential deadlock
        and memory corruption due to use-after-free condition
        and thus denial of service. Due to the nature of the
        flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out,
        although we believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2018-1000004)
    
      - Improper validation in the bnx2x network card driver of
        the Linux kernel version 4.15 can allow for denial of
        service (DoS) attacks via a packet with a gso_size
        larger than ~9700 bytes. Untrusted guest VMs can exploit
        this vulnerability in the host machine, causing a crash
        in the network card. (CVE-2018-1000026)
    
      - By mmap()ing a FUSE-backed file onto a process's memory
        containing command line arguments (or environment
        strings), an attacker can cause utilities from psutils
        or procps (such as ps, w) or any other program which
        makes a read() call to the /proc//cmdline (or
        /proc//environ) files to block indefinitely (denial
        of service) or for some controlled time (as a
        synchronization primitive for other attacks).
        (CVE-2018-1120)
    
      - 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)
    
      - An issue was discovered in the proc_pid_stack function
        in fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel. An attacker with
        a local account can trick the stack unwinder code to
        leak stack contents to userspace. The fix allows only
        root to inspect the kernel stack of an arbitrary task.
        (CVE-2018-17972)
    
      - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel with files on tmpfs
        and hugetlbfs. An attacker is able to bypass file
        permissions on filesystems mounted with tmpfs/hugetlbs
        to modify a file and possibly disrupt normal system
        behavior. At this time there is an understanding there
        is no crash or privilege escalation but the impact of
        modifications on these filesystems of files in
        production systems may have adverse affects.
        (CVE-2018-18397)
    
      - In the Linux kernel before 4.17, 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 mishandles ATTR_REPLACE
        operations with conversion of an attr from short to long
        form. (CVE-2018-18690)
    
      - Modern operating systems implement virtualization of
        physical memory to efficiently use available system
        resources and provide inter-domain protection through
        access control and isolation. The L1TF issue was found
        in the way the x86 microprocessor designs have
        implemented speculative execution of instructions (a
        commonly used performance optimization) in combination
        with handling of page-faults caused by terminated
        virtual to physical address resolving process. As a
        result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to
        read privileged memory of the kernel or other processes
        and/or cross guest/host boundaries to read host memory
        by conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks.
        (CVE-2018-3646)
    
      - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handling of
        loopback devices. An attacker, who has permissions to
        setup loopback disks, may create a denial of service or
        other unspecified actions. (CVE-2018-5344)
    
      - The acpi_smbus_hc_add function in drivers/acpi/sbshc.c
        in the Linux kernel, through 4.14.15, allows local users
        to obtain sensitive address information by reading dmesg
        data from an SBS HC printk call. (CVE-2018-5750)
    
      - An error in the _sctp_make_chunk() function
        (net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c) when handling SCTP, packet
        length can be exploited by a malicious local user to
        cause a kernel crash and a DoS. (CVE-2018-5803)
    
      - In the function wmi_set_ie() in the Linux kernel the
        length validation code does not handle unsigned integer
        overflow properly. As a result, a large value of the
        ie_len argument can cause a buffer overflow and thus a
        memory corruption leading to a system crash or other or
        unspecified impact. Due to the nature of the flaw,
        privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although
        we believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2018-5848)
    
      - ALSA sequencer core initializes the event pool on demand
        by invoking snd_seq_pool_init() when the first write
        happens and the pool is empty. A user can reset the pool
        size manually via ioctl concurrently, and this may lead
        to UAF or out-of-bound access. (CVE-2018-7566)
    
      - A possible memory corruption due to a type confusion was
        found in the Linux kernel in the sk_clone_lock()
        function in the net/core/sock.c. The possibility of
        local escalation of privileges cannot be fully ruled out
        for a local unprivileged attacker. (CVE-2018-9568)

    descriptionUSN-3617-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 17.10. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 17.10 for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. It was discovered that a race condition leading to a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the ALSA PCM subsystem of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-0861) It was discovered that the KVM implementation in the Linux kernel allowed passthrough of the diagnostic I/O port 0x80. An attacker in a guest VM could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) in the host OS. (CVE-2017-1000407) It was discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the network namespaces 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-2017-15129) Andrey Konovalov discovered that the usbtest device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate endpoint metadata. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2017-16532) Andrey Konovalov discovered that the SoundGraph iMON USB driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate device metadata. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2017-16537) Andrey Konovalov discovered that the IMS Passenger Control Unit USB driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate device descriptors. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).

A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2017-16646) Andrey Konovalov discovered that the ASIX Ethernet USB driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle suspend and resume events. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2017-16647) Andrey Konovalov discovered that the CDC USB Ethernet driver did not properly validate device descriptors. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2017-16649) Andrey Konovalov discovered that the QMI WWAN USB driver did not properly validate device descriptors. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2017-16650) It was discovered that the HugeTLB component of the Linux kernel did not properly handle holes in hugetlb ranges. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2017-16994) It was discovered that the netfilter component of the Linux did not properly restrict access to the connection tracking helpers list. A local attacker could use this to bypass intended access restrictions. (CVE-2017-17448) It was discovered that the netfilter passive OS fingerprinting (xt_osf) module did not properly perform access control checks. A local attacker could improperly modify the system-wide OS fingerprint list. (CVE-2017-17450) Dmitry Vyukov discovered that the KVM implementation in the Linux kernel contained an out-of-bounds read when handling memory-mapped I/O. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-17741) It was discovered that the Salsa20 encryption algorithm implementations in the Linux kernel did not properly handle zero-length inputs.

    descriptionAccording to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - In the Linux kernel 4.12, 3.10, 2.6 and possibly earlier versions a race condition vulnerability exists in the sound system, this can lead to a deadlock and denial of service condition.(CVE-2018-1000004) - The acpi_smbus_hc_add function in drivers/acpi/sbshc.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.15 allows local users to obtain sensitive address information by reading dmesg data from an SBS HC printk call.(CVE-2018-5750) - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in network namespaces code affecting the Linux kernel before 4.14.11. The function get_net_ns_by_id() in net/core/net_namespace.c does not check for the net::count value after it has found a peer network in netns_ids idr, which could lead to double free and memory corruption. This vulnerability could allow an unprivileged local user to induce kernel memory corruption on the system, leading to a crash. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although it is thought to be unlikely.(CVE-2017-15129) - In the Linux kernel through 4.14.13, drivers/block/loop.c mishandles lo_release serialization, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (__lock_acquire use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact.(CVE-2018-5344) Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

    "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 :
    
      - An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux
        kernel's netfilter connection tracking implementation
        loaded extensions. An attacker on a local network could
        potentially send a sequence of specially crafted
        packets that would initiate the loading of a large
        number of extensions, causing the targeted system in
        that network to crash.(CVE-2014-9715i1/4%0
    
      - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel which could cause
        a kernel panic when restoring machine specific
        registers on the PowerPC platform. Incorrect
        transactional memory state registers could
        inadvertently change the call path on return from
        userspace and cause the kernel to enter an unknown
        state and crash.(CVE-2015-8844i1/4%0
    
      - A timing flaw was found in the Chrome EC driver in the
        Linux kernel. An attacker could abuse timing to skip
        validation checks to copy additional data from
        userspace possibly increasing privilege or crashing the
        system.(CVE-2016-6156i1/4%0
    
      - A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux
        kernel's IPC subsystem initialized certain fields in an
        IPC object structure that were later used for
        permission checking before inserting the object into a
        globally visible list. A local, unprivileged user could
        potentially use this flaw to elevate their privileges
        on the system.(CVE-2015-7613i1/4%0
    
      - A path length checking flaw was found in Linux kernels
        built with UDF file system (CONFIG_UDF_FS) support. An
        attacker able to mount a corrupted/malicious UDF file
        system image could use this flaw to leak kernel memory
        to user-space.(CVE-2014-9731i1/4%0
    
      - A race condition leading to a NULL pointer dereference
        was found in the Linux kernel's Link Layer Control
        implementation. A local attacker with access to ping
        sockets could use this flaw to crash the
        system.(CVE-2017-2671i1/4%0
    
      - The f2fs implementation in the Linux kernel, before
        4.14, mishandles reference counts associated with
        f2fs_wait_discard_bios calls. This allows local users
        to cause a denial of service (BUG), as demonstrated by
        fstrim.(CVE-2017-18200i1/4%0
    
      - The LIST_POISON feature in include/linux/poison.h in
        the Linux kernel before 4.3, as used in Android 6.0.1
        before 2016-03-01, does not properly consider the
        relationship to the mmap_min_addr value, which makes it
        easier for attackers to bypass a poison-pointer
        protection mechanism by triggering the use of an
        uninitialized list entry, aka Android internal bug
        26186802, a different vulnerability than
        CVE-2015-3636.(CVE-2016-0821i1/4%0
    
      - The xsave/xrstor implementation in
        arch/x86/include/asm/xsave.h in the Linux kernel before
        3.19.2 creates certain .altinstr_replacement pointers
        and consequently does not provide any protection
        against instruction faulting, which allows local users
        to cause a denial of service (panic) by triggering a
        fault, as demonstrated by an unaligned memory operand
        or a non-canonical address memory
        operand.(CVE-2015-2672i1/4%0
    
      - The n_tty_write function in drivers/tty/n_tty.c in the
        Linux kernel through 3.14.3 does not properly manage
        tty driver access in the 'LECHO i1/4+ !OPOST' case, which
        allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory
        corruption and system crash) or gain privileges by
        triggering a race condition involving read and write
        operations with long strings.(CVE-2014-0196i1/4%0
    
      - In the Linux kernel through 4.14.13,
        drivers/block/loop.c mishandles lo_release
        serialization, which allows attackers to cause a denial
        of service (__lock_acquire use-after-free) or possibly
        have unspecified other impact.(CVE-2018-5344i1/4%0
    
      - The lbs_debugfs_write function in
        drivers/net/wireless/libertas/debugfs.c in the Linux
        kernel through 3.12.1 allows local users to cause a
        denial of service (OOPS) by leveraging root privileges
        for a zero-length write operation.(CVE-2013-6378i1/4%0
    
      - A NULL-pointer dereference vulnerability was discovered
        in the Linux kernel. The kernel's Reliable Datagram
        Sockets (RDS) protocol implementation did not verify
        that an underlying transport existed before creating a
        connection to a remote server. A local system user
        could exploit this flaw to crash the system by creating
        sockets at specific times to trigger a NULL pointer
        dereference.(CVE-2015-6937i1/4%0
    
      - A stack buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the
        Bluetooth subsystem of the Linux kernel processed
        pending L2CAP configuration responses from a client. On
        systems with the stack protection feature enabled in
        the kernel (CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y, which is
        enabled on all architectures other than s390x and
        ppc64le), an unauthenticated attacker able to initiate
        a connection to a system via Bluetooth could use this
        flaw to crash the system. Due to the nature of the
        stack protection feature, code execution cannot be
        fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely. On
        systems without the stack protection feature (ppc64le
        the Bluetooth modules are not built on s390x), an
        unauthenticated attacker able to initiate a connection
        to a system via Bluetooth could use this flaw to
        remotely execute arbitrary code on the system with ring
        0 (kernel) privileges.(CVE-2017-1000251i1/4%0
    
      - Integer signedness error in the MSM QDSP6 audio driver
        for the Linux kernel 3.x, as used in Qualcomm
        Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM
        devices and other products, allows attackers to gain
        privileges or cause a denial of service (memory
        corruption) via a crafted application that makes an
        ioctl call.(CVE-2016-2066i1/4%0
    
      - The bcm_char_ioctl function in
        drivers/staging/bcm/Bcmchar.c in the Linux kernel
        before 3.12 does not initialize a certain data
        structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive
        information from kernel memory via an
        IOCTL_BCM_GET_DEVICE_DRIVER_INFO ioctl
        call.(CVE-2013-4515i1/4%0
    
      - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Stream
        Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) implementation
        handled malformed Address Configuration Change Chunks
        (ASCONF). A remote attacker could use either of these
        flaws to crash the system.(CVE-2014-3673i1/4%0
    
      - It was found that paravirt_patch_call/jump() functions
        in the arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c in the Linux kernel
        mishandles certain indirect calls, which makes it
        easier for attackers to conduct Spectre-v2 attacks
        against paravirtualized guests.(CVE-2018-15594i1/4%0
    
      - It was found that the Linux kernel's KVM implementation
        did not ensure that the host CR4 control register value
        remained unchanged across VM entries on the same
        virtual CPU. A local, unprivileged user could use this
        flaw to cause a denial of service on the
        system.(CVE-2014-3690i1/4%0
    
      - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem.
        A local user can cause an out-of-bound write in
        jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(), a denial of service, and
        a system crash by mounting and operating on a crafted
        ext4 filesystem image.(CVE-2018-10883i1/4%0

    'rootsquash' options enabled. This vulnerability appears to have been
    fixed in after commit 1995266727fa.(CVE-2018-1000028)
    
    Stack-based out-of-bounds read via vmcall instruction
    
    Linux kernel compiled with the KVM virtualization (CONFIG_KVM) support
    is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds read access issue. It could occur
    when emulating vmcall instructions invoked by a guest. A guest
    user/process could use this flaw to disclose kernel memory
    bytes.(CVE-2017-17741)
    
    The pmd can become dirty without going through a COW cycle
    
    A flaw was found in the patches used to fix the 'dirtycow'
    vulnerability (CVE-2016-5195). An attacker, able to run local code,
    can exploit a race condition in transparent huge pages to modify
    usually read-only huge pages.(CVE-2017-1000405)
    
    Speculative execution bounds-check bypass
    
    An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern microprocessor
    designs have implemented speculative execution of instructions (a
    commonly used performance optimization). There are three primary
    variants of the issue which differ in the way the speculative
    execution can be exploited. Variant CVE-2017-5753 triggers the
    speculative execution by performing a bounds-check bypass. It relies
    on the presence of a precisely-defined instruction sequence in the
    privileged code as well as the fact that memory accesses may cause
    allocation into the microprocessor's data cache even for speculatively
    executed instructions that never actually commit (retire). As a
    result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to cross the
    syscall boundary and read privileged memory by conducting targeted
    cache side-channel attacks.(CVE-2017-5753)
    
    drivers/block/loop.c mishandles lo_release serialization allowing
    denial-of-service
    
    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handling of loopback devices.
    An attacker, who has permissions to setup loopback disks, may create a
    denial of service or other unspecified actions. (CVE-2018-5344)"

    descriptionAn update for kernel 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 packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

    descriptionAn update for kernel-rt 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-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements. Security Fix(es) : * A flaw named FragmentSmack was found in the way the Linux kernel handled reassembly of fragmented IPv4 and IPv6 packets. A remote attacker could use this flaw to trigger time and calculation expensive fragment reassembly algorithm by sending specially crafted packets which could lead to a CPU saturation and hence a denial of service on the system. (CVE-2018-5391) * kernel: out-of-bounds access in the show_timer function in kernel/time/ posix-timers.c (CVE-2017-18344) * kernel: Integer overflow in udl_fb_mmap() can allow attackers to execute code in kernel space (CVE-2018-8781) * kernel: MIDI driver race condition leads to a double-free (CVE-2018-10902) * kernel: Missing check in inode_init_owner() does not clear SGID bit on non-directories for non-members (CVE-2018-13405) * kernel: AIO write triggers integer overflow in some protocols (CVE-2015-8830) * kernel: Use-after-free in snd_pcm_info function in ALSA subsystem potentially leads to privilege escalation (CVE-2017-0861) * kernel: Handling of might_cancel queueing is not properly pretected against race (CVE-2017-10661) * kernel: Salsa20 encryption algorithm does not correctly handle zero-length inputs allowing local attackers to cause denial of service (CVE-2017-17805) * kernel: Inifinite loop vulnerability in madvise_willneed() function allows local denial of service (CVE-2017-18208) * kernel: fuse-backed file mmap-ed onto process cmdline arguments causes denial of service (CVE-2018-1120) * kernel: a NULL pointer dereference in dccp_write_xmit() leads to a system crash (CVE-2018-1130) * kernel: drivers/block/loop.c mishandles lo_release serialization allowing denial of service (CVE-2018-5344) * kernel: Missing length check of payload in _sctp_make_chunk() function allows denial of service (CVE-2018-5803) * kernel: buffer overflow in drivers/net/wireless/ath/wil6210/ wmi.c:wmi_set_ie() may lead to memory corruption (CVE-2018-5848) * kernel: out-of-bound write in ext4_init_block_bitmap function with a crafted ext4 image (CVE-2018-10878) * kernel: Improper validation in bnx2x network card driver can allow for denial of service attacks via crafted packet (CVE-2018-1000026) * kernel: Information leak when handling NM entries containing NUL (CVE-2016-4913) * kernel: Mishandling mutex within libsas allowing local Denial of Service (CVE-2017-18232) * kernel: NULL pointer dereference in ext4_process_freed_data() when mounting crafted ext4 image (CVE-2018-1092) * kernel: NULL pointer dereference in ext4_xattr_inode_hash() causes crash with crafted ext4 image (CVE-2018-1094) * kernel: vhost: Information disclosure in vhost.c:vhost_new_msg() (CVE-2018-1118) * kernel: Denial of service in resv_map_release function in mm/hugetlb.c (CVE-2018-7740) * kernel: Memory leak in the sas_smp_get_phy_events function in drivers/scsi/ libsas/sas_expander.c (CVE-2018-7757) * kernel: Invalid pointer dereference in xfs_ilock_attr_map_shared() when mounting crafted xfs image allowing denial of service (CVE-2018-10322) * kernel: use-after-free detected in ext4_xattr_set_entry with a crafted file (CVE-2018-10879) * kernel: out-of-bound access in ext4_get_group_info() when mounting and operating a crafted ext4 image (CVE-2018-10881) * kernel: stack-out-of-bounds write in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata function (CVE-2018-10883) * kernel: incorrect memory bounds check in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c (CVE-2018-10940) Red Hat would like to thank Juha-Matti Tilli (Aalto University - Department of Communications and Networking and Nokia Bell Labs) for reporting CVE-2018-5391; Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative for reporting CVE-2018-10902; Qualys Research Labs for reporting CVE-2018-1120; Evgenii Shatokhin (Virtuozzo Team) for reporting CVE-2018-1130; and Wen Xu for reporting CVE-2018-1092 and CVE-2018-1094.

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

    descriptionAccording to the version of the vzkernel package and the readykernel-patch installed, the Virtuozzo installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - It was found that release() operation for the loop devices had insufficient protection for the device structures against the accesses from the concurrent open() operations. A local attacker could use specially arranged concurrent operations with a loop device to cause a denial of service (kernel crash due to a use-after-free error). - It was discovered that some operations with files in a container could lead to denial of service on the host due to extensive memory consumption. Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Virtuozzo security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

    descriptionThe remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has kernel-rt packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities: - Integer overflow in the aio_setup_single_vector function in fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel 4.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a large AIO iovec. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a CVE-2012-6701 regression. (CVE-2015-8830) - A weakness was found in the Linux ASLR implementation. Any user able to running 32-bit applications in a x86 machine can disable ASLR by setting the RLIMIT_STACK resource to unlimited. (CVE-2016-3672) - The xc2028_set_config function in drivers/media/tuners/tuner-xc2028.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via vectors involving omission of the firmware name from a certain data structure. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2016-7913) - Use-after-free vulnerability in the snd_pcm_info() function in the ALSA subsystem in the Linux kernel allows attackers to induce a kernel memory corruption and possibly crash or lock up a system. Due to the nature of the flaw, a privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2017-0861) - A reachable assertion failure flaw was found in the Linux kernel built with KVM virtualisation(CONFIG_KVM) support with Virtual Function I/O feature (CONFIG_VFIO) enabled. This failure could occur if a malicious guest device sent a virtual interrupt (guest IRQ) with a larger (>1024) index value. (CVE-2017-1000252) - Linux kernel Virtualization Module (CONFIG_KVM) for the Intel processor family (CONFIG_KVM_INTEL) is vulnerable to a DoS issue. It could occur if a guest was to flood the I/O port 0x80 with write requests. A guest user could use this flaw to crash the host kernel resulting in DoS. (CVE-2017-1000407) - A flaw was found in the processing of incoming L2CAP bluetooth commands. Uninitialized stack variables can be sent to an attacker leaking data in kernel address space.
