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.

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-2019-19462

The syzbot tool found a missing error check in the 'relay' library used to implement various files under debugfs. A local user permitted to access debugfs could use this to cause a denial of service (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-2019-20806

A potential NULL pointer dereference was discovered in the tw5864 media driver. The security impact of this is unclear.

CVE-2019-20811

The Hulk Robot tool found a reference-counting bug in an error path in the network subsystem. The security impact of this is unclear.

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-2020-2732

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-2020-8428

Al Viro discovered a potential use-after-free in the filesystem core (vfs). A local user could exploit this to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly to obtain sensitive information from the kernel.

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-2020-10711

Matthew Sheets reported NULL pointer dereference issues in the SELinux subsystem while receiving CIPSO packet with null category. A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service (crash). Note that this issue does not affect the binary packages distributed in Debian as CONFIG_NETLABEL is not enabled.

CVE-2020-10732

An information leak of kernel private memory to userspace was found in the kernel's implementation of core dumping userspace processes.

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-2020-10757

Fan Yang reported a flaw in the way mremap handled DAX hugepages, allowing a local user to escalate their privileges

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-2020-12770

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-2020-13143

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 4.9.210-1+deb9u1~deb8u1. This version also fixes some related bugs that do not have their own CVE IDs, and a regression in the macvlan driver introduced in the previous security update (bug #952660).

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - mwifiex_cmd_802_11_ad_hoc_start in     drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/join.c in the     Linux kernel through 5.10.4 might allow remote     attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long SSID     value, aka CID-5c455c5ab332.(CVE-2020-36158)

  - Incomplete cleanup from specific special register read     operations in some Intel(R) Processors may allow an     authenticated user to potentially enable information     disclosure via local access.(CVE-2020-0543)

  - An infinite loop issue was found in the vhost_net     kernel module in Linux Kernel up to and including     v5.1-rc6, while handling incoming packets in     handle_rx(). It could occur if one end sends packets     faster than the other end can process them. A guest     user, maybe remote one, could use this flaw to stall     the vhost_net kernel thread, resulting in a DoS     scenario.(CVE-2019-3900)

  - In pppol2tp_connect, there is possible memory     corruption due to a use after free. This could lead to     local escalation of privilege with System execution     privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation. Product: Android. Versions: Android     kernel. Android ID: A-38159931.(CVE-2018-9517)

  - A flaw was found in the fix for CVE-2019-11135, in the     Linux upstream kernel versions before 5.5 where, the     way Intel CPUs handle speculative execution of     instructions when a TSX Asynchronous Abort (TAA) error     occurs. When a guest is running on a host CPU affected     by the TAA flaw (TAA_NO=0), but is not affected by the     MDS issue (MDS_NO=1), the guest was to clear the     affected buffers by using a VERW instruction mechanism.
    But when the MDS_NO=1 bit was exported to the guests,     the guests did not use the VERW mechanism to clear the     affected buffers. This issue affects guests running on     Cascade Lake CPUs and requires that host has 'TSX'     enabled. Confidentiality of data is the highest threat     associated with this vulnerability.(CVE-2019-19338)

  - There is a use-after-free in kernel versions before 5.5     due to a race condition between the release of     ptp_clock and cdev while resource deallocation. When a     (high privileged) process allocates a ptp device file     (like /dev/ptpX) and voluntarily goes to sleep. During     this time if the underlying device is removed, it can     cause an exploitable condition as the process wakes up     to terminate and clean all attached files. The system     crashes due to the cdev structure being invalid (as     already freed) which is pointed to by the     inode.(CVE-2020-10690)

  - Improper input validation in BlueZ may allow an     unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation     of privilege via adjacent access.(CVE-2020-12351)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernels implementation of     MIDI, where an attacker with a local account and the     permissions to issue an ioctl commands to midi devices,     could trigger a use-after-free. A write to this     specific memory while freed and before use could cause     the flow of execution to change and possibly allow for     memory corruption or privilege     escalation.(CVE-2020-27786)

  - use-after-free read in sunkbd_reinit in     drivers/input/keyboard/sunkbd.c(CVE-2020-25669)

  - A flaw was found in the way RTAS handled memory     accesses in userspace to kernel communication. On a     locked down (usually due to Secure Boot) guest system     running on top of PowerVM or KVM hypervisors (pseries     platform) a root like local user could use this flaw to     further increase their privileges to that of a running     kernel.(CVE-2020-27777)

  - A locking inconsistency issue was discovered in the tty     subsystem of the Linux kernel through 5.9.13.
    drivers/tty/tty_io.c and drivers/tty/tty_jobctrl.c may     allow a read-after-free attack against TIOCGSID, aka     CID-c8bcd9c5be24.(CVE-2020-29660)

  - A locking issue was discovered in the tty subsystem of     the Linux kernel through 5.9.13.
    drivers/tty/tty_jobctrl.c allows a use-after-free     attack against TIOCSPGRP, aka     CID-54ffccbf053b.(CVE-2020-29661)

  - An out-of-bounds memory write flaw was found in how the     Linux kernel's Voice Over IP H.323 connection tracking     functionality handled connections on ipv6 port 1720.
    This flaw allows an unauthenticated remote user to     crash the system, causing a denial of service. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality, integrity, as well as system     availability.(CVE-2020-14305)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.2.6. On NUMA systems, the Linux fair scheduler has a     use-after-free in show_numa_stats() because NUMA fault     statistics are inappropriately freed, aka     CID-16d51a590a8c.(CVE-2019-20934)

  - IBM Power9 (AIX 7.1, 7.2, and VIOS 3.1) processors     could allow a local user to obtain sensitive     information from the data in the L1 cache under     extenuating circumstances. IBM X-Force ID:
    189296.(CVE-2020-4788)

  - A flaw memory leak in the Linux kernel performance     monitoring subsystem was found in the way if using     PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_FILTER. A local user could use this     flaw to starve the resources causing denial of     service.(CVE-2020-25704)

  - An issue was discovered in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk in     mm/slub.c in the Linux kernel before 5.5.11. The     slowpath lacks the required TID increment, aka     CID-fd4d9c7d0c71.(CVE-2020-29370)

  - A slab-out-of-bounds read in fbcon in the Linux kernel     before 5.9.7 could be used by local attackers to read     privileged information or potentially crash the kernel,     aka CID-3c4e0dff2095. This occurs because     KD_FONT_OP_COPY in drivers/tty/vt/vt.c can be used for     manipulations such as font height.(CVE-2020-28974)

  - A buffer over-read (at the framebuffer layer) in the     fbcon code in the Linux kernel before 5.8.15 could be     used by local attackers to read kernel memory, aka     CID-6735b4632def.(CVE-2020-28915)

  - An issue was discovered in romfs_dev_read in     fs/romfs/storage.c in the Linux kernel before 5.8.4.
    Uninitialized memory leaks to userspace, aka     CID-bcf85fcedfdd.(CVE-2020-29371)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in fs/block_dev.c in the     Linux kernel before 5.8 allows local users to gain     privileges or cause a denial of service by leveraging     improper access to a certain error     field.(CVE-2020-15436)

  - The Linux kernel before version 5.8 is vulnerable to a     NULL pointer dereference in     drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c:serial8250_isa_init
    _ports() that allows local users to cause a denial of     service by using the p->serial_in pointer which     uninitialized.(CVE-2020-15437)
