CVE-2018-15572

The spectre_v2_select_mitigation function in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c in the Linux kernel before 4.18.1 does not always fill RSB upon a context switch, which makes it easier for attackers to conduct userspace-userspace spectreRSB attacks.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

• CVE-2018-15572: The spectre_v2_select_mitigation function in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c did not always fill RSB upon a context switch, which made it easier for attackers to conduct userspace-userspace spectreRSB attacks (bnc#1102517 bnc#1105296).
• CVE-2018-10902: It was found that the raw midi kernel driver did not protect against concurrent access which leads to a double realloc (double free) in snd_rawmidi_input_params() and snd_rawmidi_output_status() which are part of snd_rawmidi_ioctl() handler in rawmidi.c file. A malicious local attacker could possibly use this for privilege escalation (bnc#1105322).
• CVE-2018-9363: A buffer overflow in bluetooth HID report processing could be used by malicious bluetooth devices to crash the kernel or potentially execute code (bnc#1105292).

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP3 kernel was updated to 4.4.155 to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

• CVE-2018-13093: Prevent NULL pointer dereference and panic in lookup_slow() on a NULL inode->i_ops pointer when doing pathwalks on a corrupted xfs image. This occured because of a lack of proper validation that cached inodes are free during allocation (bnc#1100001).
• CVE-2018-13095: Prevent denial of service (memory corruption and BUG) that could have occurred for a corrupted xfs image upon encountering an inode that is in extent format, but has more extents than fit in the inode fork (bnc#1099999).
• CVE-2018-13094: Prevent OOPS that may have occured for a corrupted xfs image after xfs_da_shrink_inode() is called with a NULL bp (bnc#1100000).
• CVE-2018-12896: Prevent integer overflow in the POSIX timer code that was caused by the way the overrun accounting works. Depending on interval and expiry time values, the overrun can be larger than INT_MAX, but the accounting is int based. This basically made the accounting values, which are visible to user space via timer_getoverrun(2) and siginfo::si_overrun, random. This allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (signed integer overflow) via crafted mmap, futex, timer_create, and timer_settime system calls (bnc#1099922).
• CVE-2018-16658: Prevent information leak in cdrom_ioctl_drive_status that could have been used by local attackers to read kernel memory (bnc#1107689).
• CVE-2018-6555: The irda_setsockopt function allowed local users to cause a denial of service (ias_object use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an AF_IRDA socket (bnc#1106511).
• CVE-2018-6554: Prevent memory leak in the irda_bind function that allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by repeatedly binding an AF_IRDA socket (bnc#1106509).
• CVE-2018-1129: A flaw was found in the way signature calculation was handled by cephx authentication protocol. An attacker having access to ceph cluster network who is able to alter the message payload was able to bypass signature checks done by cephx protocol (bnc#1096748).
• CVE-2018-1128: It was found that cephx authentication protocol did not verify ceph clients correctly and was vulnerable to replay attack. Any attacker having access to ceph cluster network who is able to sniff packets on network can use this vulnerability to authenticate with ceph service and perform actions allowed by ceph service (bnc#1096748).
• CVE-2018-10938: A crafted network packet sent remotely by an attacker forced the kernel to enter an infinite loop in the cipso_v4_optptr() function leading to a denial-of-service (bnc#1106016).
• CVE-2018-15572: The spectre_v2_select_mitigation function did not always fill RSB upon a context switch, which made it easier for attackers to conduct userspace-userspace spectreRSB attacks (bnc#1102517).
• CVE-2018-10902: Protect against concurrent access to prevent double realloc (double free) in snd_rawmidi_input_params() and snd_rawmidi_output_status(). A malicious local attacker could have used this for privilege escalation (bnc#1105322 1105323).
• CVE-2018-9363: Prevent buffer overflow in hidp_process_report (bsc#1105292)
• CVE-2018-10883: A local user could have caused an out-of-bounds write in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(), a denial of service, and a system crash by mounting and operating on a crafted ext4 filesystem image (bsc#1099863).
• CVE-2018-10879: A local user could have caused a use-after-free in ext4_xattr_set_entry function and a denial of service or unspecified other impact by renaming a file in a crafted ext4 filesystem image (bsc#1099844).
• CVE-2018-10878: A local user could have caused an out-of-bounds write and a denial of service or unspecified other impact by mounting and operating a crafted ext4 filesystem image (bsc#1099813). -…

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 azure kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

• CVE-2018-9363: Fixed an integer overflow that could have been used for an out of bounds write with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation (bsc#1105292).
• CVE-2018-6555: The irda_setsockopt function in net/irda/af_irda.c was fixed in drivers/staging/irda/net/af_irda.c that allowed local users to cause a denial of service (ias_object use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an AF_IRDA socket (bsc#1106511).
• CVE-2018-6554: Fixed memory leak in the irda_bind function in net/irda/af_irda.c and later in drivers/staging/irda/net/af_irda.c that allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by repeatedly binding an AF_IRDA socket (bsc#1106509).
• CVE-2018-18710: An information leak was fixed in cdrom_ioctl_select_disc in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c that could have been used by local attackers to read kernel memory because a cast from unsigned long to int interferes with bounds checking. This is similar to CVE-2018-10940 and CVE-2018-16658 (bsc#1113751).
• CVE-2018-18445: Fixed faulty computation of numeric bounds in the BPF verifier that now permits out-of-bounds memory accesses because adjust_scalar_min_max_vals in kernel/bpf/verifier.c mishandled 32-bit right shifts (bsc#1112372).

The following security bugs were fixed:

• CVE-2016-10741: fs/xfs/xfs_aops.c allowed local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) because there is a race condition between direct and memory-mapped I/O (associated with a hole) that is handled with BUG_ON instead of an I/O failure (bnc#1114920 bnc#1124010).
• CVE-2017-1000407: By flooding the diagnostic port 0x80 an exception can be triggered leading to a kernel panic (bnc#1071021).
• CVE-2017-16533: The usbhid_parse function in drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c allowed local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device (bnc#1066674).

• CVE-2018-16884: NFS41+ shares mounted in different network namespaces at the same time can make bc_svc_process() use wrong back-channel IDs and cause a use-after-free vulnerability. Thus a malicious container user can cause a host kernel memory corruption and a system panic. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out (bnc#1119946).
• CVE-2018-18281: The mremap() syscall performed TLB flushes after dropping pagetable locks. If a syscall such as ftruncate() removes entries from the pagetables of a task that is in the middle of mremap(), a stale TLB entry can remain for a short time that permits access to a physical page after it has been released back to the page allocator and reused. (bnc#1113769).
• CVE-2018-18386: drivers/tty/n_tty.c allowed local attackers (who are able to access pseudo terminals) to hang/block further usage of any pseudo terminal devices due to an EXTPROC versus ICANON confusion in TIOCINQ (bnc#1094825).
• CVE-2018-18690: A local attacker able to set attributes on an xfs filesystem could make this filesystem non-operational until the next mount by triggering an unchecked error condition during an xfs attribute change, because…
