NONE Summary
A flaw was found in the Linux kernels SELinux LSM hook implementation before version 5.7, where it incorrectly assumed that an skb would only contain a single netlink message. The hook would incorrectly only validate the first netlink message in the skb and allow or deny the rest of the messages within the skb with the granted permission without further processing.

NASL family Ubuntu Local Security Checks NASL id UBUNTU_USN-4391-1.NASL description It was discovered that the ext4 file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle setxattr operations in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-19319) It was discovered that memory contents previously stored in microarchitectural special registers after RDRAND, RDSEED, and SGX EGETKEY read operations on Intel client and Xeon E3 processors may be briefly exposed to processes on the same or different processor cores. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2020-0543) Piotr Krysiuk discovered that race conditions existed in the file system implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).

For reference 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-2015-8839 A race condition was found in the ext4 filesystem implementation. A local user could exploit this to cause a denial of service (filesystem corruption). CVE-2018-14610, CVE-2018-14611, CVE-2018-14612, CVE-2018-14613 Wen Xu from SSLab at Gatech reported that crafted Btrfs volumes could trigger a crash (Oops) and/or out-of-bounds memory access. An attacker able to mount such a volume could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2019-5108 Mitchell Frank of Cisco discovered that when the IEEE 802.11 (WiFi) stack was used in AP mode with roaming, it would trigger roaming for a newly associated station before the station was authenticated. An attacker within range of the AP could use this to cause a denial of service, either by filling up a switching table or by redirecting traffic away from other stations. CVE-2019-19319 Jungyeon discovered that a crafted filesystem can cause the ext4 implementation to deallocate or reallocate journal blocks. A user permitted to mount filesystems could use this to cause a denial of service (crash), or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2019-19447 It was discovered that the ext4 filesystem driver did not safely handle unlinking of an inode that, due to filesystem corruption, already has a link count of 0. An attacker able to mount arbitrary ext4 volumes could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2019-19768 Tristan Madani reported a race condition in the blktrace debug facility that could result in a use-after-free. A local user able to trigger removal of block devices could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (crash) or for privilege escalation. CVE-2019-20636 The syzbot tool found that the input subsystem did not fully validate keycode changes, which could result in a heap out-of-bounds write. A local user permitted to access the device node for an input or VT device could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or for privilege escalation. CVE-2020-0009 Jann Horn reported that the Android ashmem driver did not prevent read-only files from being memory-mapped and then remapped as read-write. However, Android drivers are not enabled in Debian kernel configurations. CVE-2020-0543 Researchers at VU Amsterdam discovered that on some Intel CPUs supporting the RDRAND and RDSEED instructions, part of a random value generated by these instructions may be used in a later speculative execution on any core of the same physical CPU. Depending on how these instructions are used by applications, a local user or VM guest could use this to obtain sensitive information such as cryptographic keys from other users or VMs. This vulnerability can be mitigated by a microcode update, either as part of system firmware (BIOS) or through the intel-microcode package in Debian last seen 2020-06-13 modified 2020-06-10 plugin id 137283 published 2020-06-10 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2020 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/137283 title Debian DLA-2241-2 : linux security update NASL family Debian Local Security Checks NASL id DEBIAN_DLA-2242.NASL description Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks. CVE-2019-2182 Hanjun Guo and Lei Li reported a race condition in the arm64 virtual memory management code, which could lead to an information disclosure, denial of service (crash), or possibly privilege escalation.
