COMPLETE Summary
In get_futex_key of futex.c, there is a use-after-free due to improper locking. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Product: Android Versions: Android kernel Android ID: A-74250718 References: Upstream kernel.

NASL family Huawei Local Security Checks NASL id EULEROS_SA-2019-1304.NASL description According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the kernel scsi driver. Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID A-65023233.(CVE-2017-13168) - Non-optimized code for key handling of shared futexes was found in the Linux kernel in the form of unbounded contention time due to the page lock for real-time users. Before the fix, the page lock was an unnecessarily heavy lock for the futex path that protected too much. After the fix, the page lock is only required in a specific corner case.(CVE-2018-9422) - A flaw in the load_elf_binary() function in the Linux kernel allows a local attacker to leak the base address of .text and stack sections for setuid binaries and bypass ASLR because install_exec_creds() is called too late in this function.(CVE-2019-11190) - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel ext4 filesystem. An out-of-bound access is possible in the ext4_ext_drop_refs() function when operating on a crafted ext4 filesystem image.(CVE-2018-10877) - A vulnerability was found in polkit. When authentication is performed by a non-root user to perform an administrative task, the authentication is temporarily cached in such a way that a local attacker could impersonate the authorized process, thus gaining access to elevated privileges.(CVE-2019-6133) - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the function hso_probe() which reads if_num value from the USB device (as an u8) and uses it without a length check to index an array, resulting in an OOB memory read in hso_probe() or hso_get_config_data(). An attacker with a forged USB device and physical access to a system (needed to connect such a device) can cause a system crash and a denial of service.(CVE-2018-19985) - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel last seen 2020-05-06 modified 2019-05-01 plugin id 124431 published 2019-05-01 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2019-2020 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/124431 title EulerOS 2.0 SP5 : kernel (EulerOS-SA-2019-1304) NASL family Debian Local Security Checks NASL id DEBIAN_DLA-1422.NASL description The previous update to linux failed to build for the armhf (ARM EABI hard-float) architecture. This update corrects that. For all other architectures, there is no need to upgrade or reboot again. For reference, the relevant part of the original advisory text follows. Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks. CVE-2017-5715 Multiple researchers have discovered a vulnerability in various processors supporting speculative execution, enabling an attacker controlling an unprivileged process to read memory from arbitrary addresses, including from the kernel and all other processes running on the system. This specific attack has been named Spectre variant 2 (branch target injection) and is mitigated for the x86 architecture (amd64 and i386) by using new microcoded features. This mitigation requires an update to the processor last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 111082 published 2018-07-16 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2018-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/111082 title Debian DLA-1422-2 : linux security update (Spectre) NASL family Huawei Local Security Checks NASL id EULEROS_SA-2019-1586.NASL description According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel last seen 2020-05-06 modified 2019-05-29 plugin id 125513 published 2019-05-29 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2019-2020 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/125513 title EulerOS 2.0 SP2 : kernel (EulerOS-SA-2019-1586)
