security advisorydenial of servicedebianDebian 7 Wheezy DLA-1369-1 High: Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation Fix
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks. . Package : linux Version : 3.2.101-1 CVE ID : CVE-2017-0861 CVE-2017-5715 CVE-2017-13166 CVE-2017-16526 CVE-2017-16911 CVE-2017-16912 CVE-2017-16913 CVE-2017-16914 CVE-2017-18017 CVE-2017-18203 CVE-2017-18216 CVE-2018-1068 CVE-2018-1092 CVE-2018-5332 CVE-2018-5333 CVE-2018-5750 CVE-2018-5803 CVE-2018-6927 CVE-2018-7492 CVE-2018-7566 CVE-2018-7740 CVE-2018-7757 CVE-2018-7995 CVE-2018-8781 CVE-2018-8822 CVE-2018-1000004 CVE-2018-1000199 Debian Bug : 887106 Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks. CVE-2017-0861 Robb Glasser reported a potential use-after-free in the ALSA (sound) PCM core. We believe this was not possible in practice. 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 the "retpoline" compiler feature which allows indirect branches to be isolated from speculative execution. CVE-2017-13166 A bug in the 32-bit compatibility layer of the v4l2 ioctl handling code has been found. Memory protections ensuring user-provided buffers always point to userland memory were disabled, allowing destination addresses to be in kernel space. On a 64-bit kernel (amd64 flavour) a local user with access to a suitable video device can exploit thisto overwrite kernel memory, leading to privilege escalation. CVE-2017-16526 Andrey Konovalov reported that the UWB subsystem may dereference an invalid pointer in an error case. A local user might be able to use this for denial of service. CVE-2017-16911 Secunia Research reported that the USB/IP vhci_hcd driver exposed kernel heap addresses to local users. This information could aid the exploitation of other vulnerabilities. CVE-2017-16912 Secunia Research reported that the USB/IP stub driver failed to perform a range check on a received packet header field, leading to an out-of-bounds read. A remote user able to connect to the USB/IP server could use this for denial of service. CVE-2017-16913 Secunia Research reported that the USB/IP stub driver failed to perform a range check on a received packet header field, leading to excessive memory allocation. A remote user able to connect to the USB/IP server could use this for denial of service. CVE-2017-16914 Secunia Research reported that the USB/IP stub driver failed to check for an invalid combination of fields in a recieved packet, leading to a null pointer dereference. A remote user able to connect to the USB/IP server could use this for denial of service. CVE-2017-18017 Denys Fedoryshchenko reported that the netfilter xt_TCPMSS module failed to validate TCP header lengths, potentially leading to a use-after-free. If this module is loaded, it could be used by a remote attacker for denial of service or possibly for code execution. CVE-2017-18203 Hou Tao reported that there was a race condition in creation and deletion of device-mapper (DM) devices. A local user could potentially use this for denial of service. CVE-2017-18216 Alex Chen reported that the OCFS2 filesystem failed to hold a necessary lock during nodemanager sysfs file operations, potentially leading to a nullpointer dereference. A local user could use this for denial of service. CVE-2018-1068 The syzkaller tool found that the 32-bit compatibility layer of ebtables did not sufficiently validate offset values. On a 64-bit kernel (amd64 flavour), a local user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability could use this to overwrite kernel memory, possibly leading to privilege escalation. CVE-2018-1092 Wen Xu reported that a crafted ext4 filesystem image would trigger a null dereference when mounted. A local user able to mount arbitrary filesystems could use this for denial of service. CVE-2018-5332 Mohamed Ghannam reported that the RDS protocol did not sufficiently validate RDMA requests, leading to an out-of-bounds write. A local attacker on a system with the rds module loaded could use this for denial of service or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2018-5333 Mohamed Ghannam reported that the RDS protocol did not properly handle an error case, leading to a null pointer dereference. A local attacker on a system with the rds module loaded could possibly use this for denial of service. CVE-2018-5750 Wang Qize reported that the ACPI sbshc driver logged a kernel heap address. This information could aid the exploitation of other vulnerabilities. CVE-2018-5803 Alexey Kodanev reported that the SCTP protocol did not range-check the length of chunks to be created. A local or remote user could use this to cause a denial of service. CVE-2018-6927 Li Jinyue reported that the FUTEX_REQUEUE operation on futexes did not check for negative parameter values, which might lead to a denial of service or other security impact. CVE-2018-7492 The syzkaller tool found that the RDS protocol was lacking a null pointer check. A local attacker on a system with the rds module loaded could use this for denial of service. CVE-2018-7566 ??? (FanLongFei) reported a race condition in the ALSA (sound) sequencer core, between write and ioctl operations. This could lead to an out-of-bounds access or use-after-free. A local user with access to a sequencer device could use this for denial of service or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2018-7740 Nic Losby reported that the hugetlbfs filesystem's mmap operation did not properly range-check the file offset. A local user with access to files on a hugetlbfs filesystem could use this to cause a denial of service. CVE-2018-7757 Jason Yan reported a memory leak in the SAS (Serial-Attached SCSI) subsystem. A local user on a system with SAS devices could use this to cause a denial of service. CVE-2018-7995 Seunghun Han reported a race condition in the x86 MCE (Machine Check Exception) driver. This is unlikely to have any security impact. CVE-2018-8781 Eyal Itkin reported that the udl (DisplayLink) driver's mmap operation did not properly range-check the file offset. A local user with access to a udl framebuffer device could exploit this to overwrite kernel memory, leading to privilege escalation. CVE-2018-8822 Dr Silvio Cesare of InfoSect reported that the ncpfs client implementation did not validate reply lengths from the server. An ncpfs server could use this to cause a denial of service or remote code execution in the client. CVE-2018-1000004 Luo Quan reported a race condition in the ALSA (sound) sequencer core, between multiple ioctl operations. This could lead to a deadlock or use-after-free. A local user with access to a sequencer device could use this for denial of service or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2018-1000199 Andy Lutomirski discovered that the ptrace subsystem did not sufficiently validate hardware breakpoint settings. Local users can use this to cause a denial of service, or possibly for privilege escalation, on x86 (amd64 and i386) and possibly other architectures. Additionally, some mitigations for CVE-2017-5753 are included in this release: CVE-2017-5753 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 1 (bounds-check bypass) and is mitigated by identifying vulnerable code sections (array bounds checking followed by array access) and replacing the array access with the speculation-safe array_index_nospec() function. More use sites will be added over time. For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version 3.2.101-1. This version also includes bug fixes from upstream versions up to and including 3.2.101. It also fixes a regression in the procfs hidepid option in the previous version (Debian bug #887106). We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.
