CVE-2017-18204

The ocfs2_setattr function in fs/ocfs2/file.c in the Linux kernel before 4.14.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) via DIO requests.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

• CVE-2018-1068: Fixed flaw in the implementation of 32-bit syscall interface for bridging. This allowed a privileged user to arbitrarily write to a limited range of kernel memory (bnc#1085107).
• CVE-2017-18221: The __munlock_pagevec function allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NR_MLOCK accounting corruption) via crafted use of mlockall and munlockall system calls (bnc#1084323).
• CVE-2018-1066: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in fs/cifs/cifsencrypt.c:setup_ntlmv2_rsp() that allowed an attacker controlling a CIFS server to kernel panic a client that has this server mounted, because an empty TargetInfo field in an NTLMSSP setup negotiation response was mishandled during session recovery (bnc#1083640).
• CVE-2017-13166: Prevent elevation of privilege vulnerability in the kernel v4l2 video driver (bnc#1072865).
• CVE-2017-16911: The vhci_hcd driver allowed local attackers to disclose kernel memory addresses. Successful exploitation required that a USB device was attached over IP (bnc#1078674).
• CVE-2017-15299: The KEYS subsystem mishandled use of add_key for a key that already exists but is uninstantiated, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted system call (bnc#1063416).
• CVE-2017-18208: The madvise_willneed function kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) by triggering use of MADVISE_WILLNEED for a DAX mapping (bnc#1083494).
• CVE-2018-7566: The ALSA sequencer core initializes the event pool on demand by invoking snd_seq_pool_init() when the first write happens and the pool is empty. A user could have reset the pool size manually via ioctl concurrently, which may have lead UAF or out-of-bound access (bsc#1083483).
• CVE-2017-18204: The ocfs2_setattr function allowed local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) via DIO requests (bnc#1083244).
• CVE-2017-16644: The hdpvr_probe function allowed local users to cause a denial of service (improper error handling and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device (bnc#1067118).
• CVE-2018-6927: The futex_requeue function allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a negative wake or requeue value (bnc#1080757).
• CVE-2017-16914: The 'stub_send_ret_submit()' function allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a specially crafted USB over IP packet (bnc#1078669).
• CVE-2016-7915: The hid_input_field function allowed physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) by connecting a device (bnc#1010470).
• CVE-2017-12190: The bio_map_user_iov and bio_unmap_user functions did unbalanced refcounting when a SCSI I/O vector had small consecutive buffers belonging to the same page. The bio_add_pc_page function merged them into one, but the page reference was never dropped. This caused a memory leak and possible system lockup (exploitable against the host OS by a guest OS user, if a SCSI disk is passed through to a virtual machine) due to an out-of-memory condition (bnc#1062568).
• CVE-2017-16912: The 'get_pipe()' function allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a specially crafted USB over IP packet (bnc#1078673).
• CVE-2017-16913: The 'stub_recv_cmd_submit()' function when handling CMD_SUBMIT packets allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (arbitrary memory allocation) via a specially crafted USB over IP packet (bnc#1078672).

It was discovered that the USB over IP implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate…

Jann Horn and Ken Johnson discovered that microprocessors utilizing speculative execution of a memory read may allow unauthorized memory reads via a sidechannel attack. This flaw is known as Spectre Variant 4. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information, including kernel memory. (CVE-2018-3639)

Jan H. Schönherr discovered that the Xen subsystem did not properly handle block IO merges correctly in some situations. An attacker in a guest vm could use this to cause a denial of service (host crash) or possibly gain administrative privileges in the host. (CVE-2017-12134)

It was discovered that the Bluetooth HIP Protocol implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate HID connection setup information. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-13220)

It was discovered that a buffer overread vulnerability existed in the keyring subsystem of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2017-13305)

It was discovered that the netlink subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict observations of netlink messages to the appropriate net namespace. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel netlink traffic). (CVE-2017-17449)

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the i8042 serial device driver implementation in the Linux kernel. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-18079)

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Device Mapper component of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2017-18203)

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the OCFS2 file system implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (kernel deadlock). (CVE-2017-18204)

It was discovered that an infinite loop could occur in the madvise(2) implementation in the Linux kernel in certain circumstances. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system hang). (CVE-2017-18208)

Kefeng Wang discovered that a race condition existed in the memory locking implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2017-18221)

Silvio Cesare discovered a buffer overwrite existed in the NCPFS implementation in the Linux kernel. A remote attacker controlling a malicious NCPFS server could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-8822)
