NONE Summary
An issue was discovered in the fd_locked_ioctl function in drivers/block/floppy.c in the Linux kernel through 4.15.7. The floppy driver will copy a kernel pointer to user memory in response to the FDGETPRM ioctl. An attacker can send the FDGETPRM ioctl and use the obtained kernel pointer to discover the location of kernel code and data and bypass kernel security protections such as KASLR.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Subverting Environment Variable Values The attacker directly or indirectly modifies environment variables used by or controlling the target software. The attacker's goal is to cause the target software to deviate from its expected operation in a manner that benefits the attacker.
- Footprinting An attacker engages in probing and exploration activity to identify constituents and properties of the target. Footprinting is a general term to describe a variety of information gathering techniques, often used by attackers in preparation for some attack. It consists of using tools to learn as much as possible about the composition, configuration, and security mechanisms of the targeted application, system or network. Information that might be collected during a footprinting effort could include open ports, applications and their versions, network topology, and similar information. While footprinting is not intended to be damaging (although certain activities, such as network scans, can sometimes cause disruptions to vulnerable applications inadvertently) it may often pave the way for more damaging attacks.
- Exploiting Trust in Client (aka Make the Client Invisible) An attack of this type exploits a programs' vulnerabilities in client/server communication channel authentication and data integrity. It leverages the implicit trust a server places in the client, or more importantly, that which the server believes is the client. An attacker executes this type of attack by placing themselves in the communication channel between client and server such that communication directly to the server is possible where the server believes it is communicating only with a valid client. There are numerous variations of this type of attack.
- Browser Fingerprinting An attacker carefully crafts small snippets of Java Script to efficiently detect the type of browser the potential victim is using. Many web-based attacks need prior knowledge of the web browser including the version of browser to ensure successful exploitation of a vulnerability. Having this knowledge allows an attacker to target the victim with attacks that specifically exploit known or zero day weaknesses in the type and version of the browser used by the victim. Automating this process via Java Script as a part of the same delivery system used to exploit the browser is considered more efficient as the attacker can supply a browser fingerprinting method and integrate it with exploit code, all contained in Java Script and in response to the same web page request by the browser.
- Session Credential Falsification through Prediction This attack targets predictable session ID in order to gain privileges. The attacker can predict the session ID used during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking.

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.

This could lead to a local elevation of privilege enabling code execution as a privileged process with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID: A-66954097.(CVE-2017-13216) - A certain backport in the TCP Fast Open implementation for the Linux kernel before 3.18 does not properly maintain a count value, which allow local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via the Fast Open feature, as demonstrated by visiting the chrome://flags/#enable-tcp-fast-open URL when using certain 3.10.x through 3.16.x kernel builds, including longterm-maintenance releases and ckt (aka Canonical Kernel Team) builds.(CVE-2015-3332) - The rtnl_fill_link_ifmap function in net/core/rtnetlink.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.5 does not initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory by reading a Netlink message.(CVE-2016-4486) - The ip6gre_err function in net/ipv6/ip6_gre.c in the Linux kernel allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors involving GRE flags in an IPv6 packet, which trigger an out-of-bounds access.(CVE-2017-5897) - In the Linux kernel before version 4.12, Kerberos 5 tickets decoded when using the RXRPC keys incorrectly assumes the size of a field. This could lead to the size-remaining variable wrapping and the data pointer going over the end of the buffer. This could possibly lead to memory corruption and possible privilege escalation.(CVE-2017-7482) - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel where an attacker may be able to have an uncontrolled read to kernel-memory from within a vm guest. A race condition between connect() and close() function may allow an attacker using the AF_VSOCK protocol to gather a 4 byte information leak or possibly intercept or corrupt AF_VSOCK messages destined to other clients.(CVE-2018-14625) - drivers/net/usb/asix_devices.c in the Linux kernel through 4.13.11 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device.(CVE-2017-16647) - A memory leak in the ql_alloc_large_buffers() function in drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qla3xxx.c in the Linux kernel before 5.3.5 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering pci_dma_mapping_error() failures, aka CID-1acb8f2a7a9f.(CVE-2019-18806) - An issue was discovered in the fd_locked_ioctl function in drivers/block/floppy.c in the Linux kernel through 4.15.7. The floppy driver will copy a kernel pointer to user memory in response to the FDGETPRM ioctl. An attacker can send the FDGETPRM ioctl and use the obtained kernel pointer to discover the location of kernel code and data and bypass kernel security protections such as KASLR.(CVE-2018-7755) - The usbvision driver in the Linux kernel package 3.10.0-123.20.1.el7 through 3.10.0-229.14.1.el7 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.1 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via a nonzero bInterfaceNumber value in a USB device descriptor.(CVE-2015-7833) - A flaw that allowed an attacker to corrupt memory and possibly escalate privileges was found in the mwifiex kernel module while connecting to a malicious wireless network.(CVE-2019-3846) - drivers/net/wireless/marvell/libertas/if_sdio.c in the Linux kernel 5.2.14 does not check the alloc_workqueue return value, leading to a NULL pointer dereference.(CVE-2019-16232) - drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/pcie/trans.c in the Linux kernel 5.2.14 does not check the alloc_workqueue return value, leading to a NULL pointer dereference.(CVE-2019-16234) - drivers/net/fjes/fjes_main.c in the Linux kernel 5.2.14 does not check the alloc_workqueue return value, leading to a NULL pointer dereference.(CVE-2019-16231) - Insufficient access control in the Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software driver before version 21.10 may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via adjacent access.(CVE-2019-0136) - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A heap based buffer overflow in mwifiex_uap_parse_tail_ies function in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/ie.c might lead to memory corruption and possibly other consequences.(CVE-2019-10126) - The Bluetooth BR/EDR specification up to and including version 5.1 permits sufficiently low encryption key length and does not prevent an attacker from influencing the key length negotiation.
