"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's implementation
    of GRO. This flaw allows an attacker with local access
    to crash the system.(CVE-2020-10720)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux
    kernel's SELinux subsystem. This flaw occurs while
    importing the Commercial IP Security Option (CIPSO)
    protocol's category bitmap into the SELinux extensible
    bitmap via the' ebitmap_netlbl_import' routine. While
    processing the CIPSO restricted bitmap tag in the
    'cipso_v4_parsetag_rbm' routine, it sets the security
    attribute to indicate that the category bitmap is
    present, even if it has not been allocated. This issue
    leads to a NULL pointer dereference issue while
    importing the same category bitmap into SELinux. This
    flaw allows a remote network user to crash the system
    kernel, resulting in a denial of
    service.(CVE-2020-10711)

  - A signal access-control issue was discovered in the
    Linux kernel before 5.6.5, aka CID-7395ea4e65c2.
    Because exec_id in include/linux/sched.h is only 32
    bits, an integer overflow can interfere with a
    do_notify_parent protection mechanism. A child process
    can send an arbitrary signal to a parent process in a
    different security domain. Exploitation limitations
    include the amount of elapsed time before an integer
    overflow occurs, and the lack of scenarios where
    signals to a parent process present a substantial
    operational threat.(CVE-2020-12826)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before
    5.4.17. drivers/spi/spi-dw.c allows attackers to cause
    a panic via concurrent calls to dw_spi_irq and
    dw_spi_transfer_one, aka
    CID-19b61392c5a8.(CVE-2020-12769)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through
    5.6.11. sg_write lacks an sg_remove_request call in a
    certain failure case, aka
    CID-83c6f2390040.(CVE-2020-12770)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through
    5.6.11. btree_gc_coalesce in drivers/md/bcache/btree.c
    has a deadlock if a coalescing operation
    fails.(CVE-2020-12771)

  - The __mptctl_ioctl function in
    drivers/message/fusion/mptctl.c in the Linux kernel
    before 5.4.14 allows local users to hold an incorrect
    lock during the ioctl operation and trigger a race
    condition, i.e., a 'double fetch' vulnerability, aka
    CID-28d76df18f0a. NOTE: the vendor states 'The security
    impact of this bug is not as bad as it could have been
    because these operations are all privileged and root
    already has enormous destructive
    power.'(CVE-2020-12652)

  - An issue was discovered in xfs_agf_verify in
    fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_alloc.c in the Linux kernel through
    5.6.10. Attackers may trigger a sync of excessive
    duration via an XFS v5 image with crafted metadata, aka
    CID-d0c7feaf8767.(CVE-2020-12655)

  - A pivot_root race condition in fs amespace.c in the
    Linux kernel 4.4.x before 4.4.221, 4.9.x before
    4.9.221, 4.14.x before 4.14.178, 4.19.x before
    4.19.119, and 5.x before 5.3 allows local users to
    cause a denial of service (panic) by corrupting a
    mountpoint reference counter.(CVE-2020-12114)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before
    5.6.5. There is a use-after-free in block/bfq-iosched.c
    related to bfq_idle_slice_timer_body.(CVE-2020-12657)

  - usb_sg_cancel in drivers/usb/core/message.c in the
    Linux kernel before 5.6.8 has a use-after-free because
    a transfer occurs without a reference, aka
    CID-056ad39ee925.(CVE-2020-12464)

  - An issue was found in Linux kernel before 5.5.4. The
    mwifiex_cmd_append_vsie_tlv() function in drivers
    et/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/scan.c allows local users
    to gain privileges or cause a denial of service because
    of an incorrect memcpy and buffer overflow, aka
    CID-b70261a288ea.(CVE-2020-12653)

  - gss_mech_free in net/sunrpc/auth_gss/gss_mech_switch.c
    in the rpcsec_gss_krb5 implementation in the Linux
    kernel through 5.6.10 lacks certain domain_release
    calls, leading to a memory leak.(CVE-2020-12656)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before
    5.6.7. xdp_umem_reg in net/xdp/xdp_umem.c has an
    out-of-bounds write (by a user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN
    capability) because of a lack of headroom
    validation.(CVE-2020-12659)

  - An array overflow was discovered in mt76_add_fragment
    in drivers et/wireless/mediatek/mt76/dma.c in the Linux
    kernel before 5.5.10, aka CID-b102f0c522cf. An
    oversized packet with too many rx fragments can corrupt
    memory of adjacent pages.(CVE-2020-12465)

  - An issue was found in Linux kernel before 5.5.4.
    mwifiex_ret_wmm_get_status() in drivers
    et/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/wmm.c allows a remote AP to
    trigger a heap-based buffer overflow because of an
    incorrect memcpy, aka CID-3a9b153c5591.(CVE-2020-12654)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.6.7 on the s390 platform,
    code execution may occur because of a race condition,
    as demonstrated by code in enable_sacf_uaccess in
    arch/s390/lib/uaccess.c that fails to protect against a
    concurrent page table upgrade, aka CID-3f777e19d171. A
    crash could also occur.(CVE-2020-11884)

  - relay_open in kernel/relay.c in the Linux kernel
    through 5.4.1 allows local users to cause a denial of
    service (such as relay blockage) by triggering a NULL
    alloc_percpu result.(CVE-2019-19462)

  - In the Linux kernel 5.0.21, mounting a crafted btrfs
    filesystem image, performing some operations, and
    unmounting can lead to a use-after-free in
    btrfs_queue_work in
    fs/btrfs/async-thread.c.(CVE-2019-19377)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.5.8, get_raw_socket in
    drivers/vhost et.c lacks validation of an sk_family
    field, which might allow attackers to trigger kernel
    stack corruption via crafted system
    calls.(CVE-2020-10942)

    descriptionThis update is now available for all supported architectures. 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-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

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

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

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's non-free archive
section. This kernel update only provides reporting of the
vulnerability and the option to disable the mitigation if it
is not needed.

CVE-2020-1749

Xiumei Mu reported that some network protocols that can run on top of
IPv6 would bypass the Transformation (XFRM) layer used by IPsec,
IPcomp/IPcomp6, IPIP, and IPv6 Mobility. This could result in
disclosure of information over the network, since it would not be
encrypted or routed according to the system policy.

CVE-2020-2732

Paulo Bonzini discovered that the KVM implementation for Intel
processors did not properly handle instruction emulation for L2 guests
when nested virtualization is enabled. This could allow an L2 guest to
cause privilege escalation, denial of service, or information leaks in
the L1 guest.

CVE-2020-8647, CVE-2020-8649

The Hulk Robot tool found a potential MMIO out-of-bounds access in the
vgacon driver. A local user permitted to access a virtual terminal
(/dev/tty1 etc.) on a system using the vgacon driver could use this to
cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for
privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-8648

The syzbot tool found a race condition in the the virtual terminal
driver, which could result in a use-after-free. A local user permitted
to access a virtual terminal could use this to cause a denial of
service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege
escalation.

CVE-2020-9383

Jordy Zomer reported an incorrect range check in the floppy driver
which could lead to a static out-of-bounds access. A local user
permitted to access a floppy drive could use this to cause a denial of
service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege
escalation.

CVE-2020-10690

It was discovered that the PTP hardware clock subsystem did not
properly manage device lifetimes. Removing a PTP hardware clock from
the system while a user process was using it could lead to a
use-after-free. The security impact of this is unclear.

CVE-2020-10751

Dmitry Vyukov reported that the SELinux subsystem did not properly
handle validating multiple messages, which could allow a privileged
attacker to bypass SELinux netlink restrictions.

CVE-2020-10942

It was discovered that the vhost_net driver did not properly validate
the type of sockets set as back-ends. A local user permitted to access
/dev/vhost-net could use this to cause a stack corruption via crafted
system calls, resulting in denial of service (crash) or possibly
privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-11494

It was discovered that the slcan (serial line CAN) network driver did
not fully initialise CAN headers for received packets, resulting in an
information leak from the kernel to user-space or over the CAN
network.

CVE-2020-11565

Entropy Moe reported that the shared memory filesystem (tmpfs) did not
correctly handle an 'mpol' mount option specifying an empty node list,
leading to a stack-based out-of-bounds write. If user namespaces are
enabled, a local user could use this to cause a denial of service
(crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-11608, CVE-2020-11609, CVE-2020-11668

It was discovered that the ov519, stv06xx, and xirlink_cit media
drivers did not properly validate USB device descriptors. A physically
present user with a specially constructed USB device could use this to
cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly for privilege
escalation.

CVE-2020-12114

Piotr Krysiuk discovered a race condition between the umount and
pivot_root operations in the filesystem core (vfs). A local user with
the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in any user namespace could use this to
cause a denial of service (crash).

CVE-2020-12464

Kyungtae Kim reported a race condition in the USB core that can result
in a use-after-free. It is not clear how this can be exploited, but it
could result in a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or
privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-12652

Tom Hatskevich reported a bug in the mptfusion storage drivers. An
ioctl handler fetched a parameter from user memory twice, creating a
race condition which could result in incorrect locking of internal
data structures. A local user permitted to access /dev/mptctl could
use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or
for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-12653

It was discovered that the mwifiex WiFi driver did not sufficiently
validate scan requests, resulting a potential heap buffer overflow. A
local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability could use this to cause a
denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for
privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-12654

It was discovered that the mwifiex WiFi driver did not sufficiently
validate WMM parameters received from an access point (AP), resulting
a potential heap buffer overflow. A malicious AP could use this to
cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly to
execute code on a vulnerable system.

CVE-2020-12769

It was discovered that the spi-dw SPI host driver did not properly
serialise access to its internal state. The security impact of this is
unclear, and this driver is not included in Debian's binary packages.

CVE-2020-12770

It was discovered that the sg (SCSI generic) driver did not correctly
release internal resources in a particular error case. A local user
permitted to access an sg device could possibly use this to cause a
denial of service (resource exhaustion).

CVE-2020-12826

Adam Zabrocki reported a weakness in the signal subsystem's permission
checks. A parent process can choose an arbitary signal for a child
process to send when it exits, but if the parent has executed a new
program then the default SIGCHLD signal is sent. A local user
permitted to run a program for several days could bypass this check,
execute a setuid program, and then send an arbitrary signal to it.
Depending on the setuid programs installed, this could have some
security impact.

CVE-2020-13143

Kyungtae Kim reported a potential heap out-of-bounds write in the USB
gadget subsystem. A local user permitted to write to the gadget
configuration filesystem could use this to cause a denial of service
(crash or memory corruption) or potentially for privilege escalation.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version
3.16.84-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.
