CVE-2019-11833

fs/ext4/extents.c in the Linux kernel through 5.1.2 does not zero out the unused memory region in the extent tree block, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by reading uninitialized data in the filesystem.

fs/ext4/extents.c in the Linux kernel through 5.1.2 does not zero out the unused memory region in the extent tree block, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by reading uninitialized data in the filesystem.

This kernel update provides the upstream 4.14.121. It adds additional fixes to the kernel side mitigations for the Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS, also called ZombieLoad attack) vulnerabilities.

It also fixes the following security issues:

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's freescale hypervisor manager implementation. A parameter passed via to an ioctl was incorrectly validated and used in size calculations for the page size calculation. An attacker can use this flaw to crash the system or corrupt memory or, possibly, create other adverse security affects (CVE-2019-10142).

It also fixes an upstream regression that caused older 'legacy' bluetooth adapters to stop working (mga #24840).

This kernel-tmb update is based on the upstream 4.14.127 and fixes at least the following security issues:

Jonathan Looney discovered that it is possible to send a crafted sequence of SACKs which will fragment the RACK send map. An attacker may be able to further exploit the fragmented send map to cause an expensive linked-list walk for subsequent SACKs received for that same TCP connection (CVE-2019-5599).

A parameter passed via to an ioctl was incorrectly validated and used in size calculations for the page size calculation. An attacker can use this flaw to crash the system or corrupt memory or, possibly, create other adverse security affects (CVE-2019-10142).

Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs value was subject to an integer overflow in the Linux kernel when handling TCP Selective Acknowledgments (SACKs). A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (CVE-2019-11477).

Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCP retransmission queue implementation in tcp_fragment in the Linux kernel could be fragmented when handling certain TCP Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) sequences. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (CVE-2019-11478).

Jonathan Looney discovered that the Linux kernel default MSS is hard-coded to 48 bytes. This allows a remote peer to fragment TCP resend queues significantly more than if a larger MSS were enforced. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (CVE-2019-11479).

The openSUSE Leap 15.1 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

• CVE-2018-7191: In the tun subsystem dev_get_valid_name xwas not called before register_netdevice. This allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and panic) via an ioctl(TUNSETIFF) call with a dev name containing a / character. This is similar to CVE-2013-4343 (bnc#1135603).
• CVE-2019-11085: Insufficient input validation in Kernel Mode Driver in Intel(R) i915 Graphics for Linux may have allowed an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access (bnc#1135278).
• CVE-2019-11486: The Siemens R3964 line discipline driver in drivers/tty/n_r3964.c in the Linux kernel had multiple race conditions (bnc#1133188). It was disabled by default.
• CVE-2019-11811: There is a use-after-free upon attempted read access to /proc/ioports after the ipmi_si module is removed, related to drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c, drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_mem_io.c, and drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_port_io.c (bnc#1134397).
• CVE-2019-11815: An issue was discovered in rds_tcp_kill_sock in net/rds/tcp.c kernel. There is a race condition leading to a use-after-free, related to net namespace cleanup (bnc#1134537).
• CVE-2019-11833: fs/ext4/extents.c did not zero out the unused memory region in the extent tree block, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by reading uninitialized data in the filesystem (bnc#1135281).
• CVE-2019-11884: The do_hidp_sock_ioctl function in net/bluetooth/hidp/sock.c allowed a local user to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a HIDPCONNADD command, because a name field may not end with a '\0' character (bnc#1134848).
• CVE-2019-3882: A flaw was found in the vfio interface implementation that permits violation of the user's locked memory limit. If a device is bound to a vfio driver, such as vfio-pci, and the local attacker is administratively granted ownership of the device, it may cause a system memory exhaustion and thus a denial of service (DoS). (bnc#1131416 bnc#1131427).
• CVE-2019-5489: The mincore() implementation in mm/mincore.c allowed local attackers to observe page cache access patterns of other processes on the same system, potentially allowing sniffing of secret information. (Fixing this affects the output of the fincore program.) Limited remote exploitation may be possible, as demonstrated by latency differences in accessing public files from an Apache HTTP Server (bnc#1120843).
• CVE-2019-9500: A brcmfmac heap buffer overflow in brcmf_wowl_nd_results was fixed (bnc#1132681).

The openSUSE Leap 15.0 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

• CVE-2019-11478: It was possible to send a crafted sequence of SACKs which would fragment the TCP retransmission queue. A remote attacker may have been able to further exploit the fragmented queue to cause an expensive linked-list walk for subsequent SACKs received for that same TCP connection. (bsc#1137586)
• CVE-2019-11479: It was possible to send a crafted sequence of SACKs which would fragment the RACK send map. A remote attacker may be able to further exploit the fragmented send map to cause an expensive linked-list walk for subsequent SACKs received for that same TCP connection. This would have resulted in excess resource consumption due to low mss values. (bsc#1137586)
• CVE-2019-12819: The function __mdiobus_register() in drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c calls put_device(), which will trigger a fixed_mdio_bus_init use-after-free. This will cause a denial of service (bnc#1138291).
• CVE-2019-12818: The nfc_llcp_build_tlv function in net/nfc/llcp_commands.c may return NULL. If the caller did not check for this, it will trigger a NULL pointer dereference. This will cause denial of service. This affects nfc_llcp_build_gb in net/nfc/llcp_core.c (bnc#1138293).
• CVE-2019-12456: local users could cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact by changing the value of ioc_number between two kernel reads of that value, aka a 'double fetch' vulnerability. (bnc#1136922)

• CVE-2019-12382: An issue was discovered in drm_load_edid_firmware in drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid_load.c. There was an unchecked kstrdup of fwstr, which might allow an attacker to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) (bnc#1136586).
• CVE-2019-11487: The Linux kernel before 5.1-rc5 allowed page->_refcount reference count overflow, with resultant use-after-free issues, if about 140 GiB of RAM exists. This is related to fs/fuse/dev.c, fs/pipe.c, fs/splice.c, include/linux/mm.h, include/linux/pipe_fs_i.h, kernel/trace/trace.c, mm/gup.c, and mm/hugetlb.c. It can occur with FUSE requests (bnc#1133190).
