Buffer overflow in mp_override_legacy_irq() :

Buffer overflow in the mp_override_legacy_irq() function in arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c in the Linux kernel through 4.12.2 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted ACPI table.
(CVE-2017-11473)

A race between inotify_handle_event() and sys_rename() :

A race condition was found in the Linux kernel, present since v3.14-rc1 through v4.12. The race happens between threads of inotify_handle_event() and vfs_rename() while running the rename operation against the same file. As a result of the race the next slab data or the slab's free list pointer can be corrupted with attacker-controlled data, which may lead to the privilege escalation.
(CVE-2017-7533)

Integer overflow in ip6_find_1stfragopt() causes infinite loop :

An integer overflow vulnerability in ip6_find_1stfragopt() function was found. A local attacker that has privileges (of CAP_NET_RAW) to open raw socket can cause an infinite loop inside the ip6_find_1stfragopt() function.(CVE-2017-7542)

Double fetch vulnerability in saa7164_bus_get function The saa7164_bus_get function in drivers/media/pci/saa7164/saa7164-bus.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.14 allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact by changing a certain sequence-number value, aka a 'double fetch' vulnerability. Please note, the saa7164 driver is not enabled in the Amazon Linux AMI kernel (CVE-2017-8831)

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-003378 advisory.

    The saa7164_bus_get function in drivers/media/pci/saa7164/saa7164-bus.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.5     allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified     other impact by changing a certain sequence-number value, aka a double fetch vulnerability.

  - CVE-2017-1000363: Linux drivers/char/lp.c Out-of-Bounds     Write. Due to a missing bounds check, and the fact that     parport_ptr integer is static, a 'secure boot' kernel     command line adversary (can happen due to bootloader     vulns, e.g. Google Nexus 6's CVE-2016-10277, where due     to a vulnerability the adversary has partial control     over the command line) can overflow the parport_nr array     in the following code, by appending many (>LP_NO)     'lp=none' arguments to the command line (bnc#1039456).

  - CVE-2017-1000365: The Linux Kernel imposes a size     restriction on the arguments and environmental strings     passed through RLIMIT_STACK/RLIM_INFINITY (1/4 of the     size), but did not take the argument and environment     pointers into account, which allowed attackers to bypass     this limitation. (bnc#1039354).

  - CVE-2017-1000380: sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel     is vulnerable to a data race in the ALSA /dev/snd/timer     driver resulting in local users being able to read     information belonging to other users, i.e.,     uninitialized memory contents may be disclosed when a     read and an ioctl happen at the same time (bnc#1044125).

  - CVE-2017-10661: Race condition in fs/timerfd.c in the     Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or     cause a denial of service (list corruption or     use-after-free) via simultaneous file-descriptor     operations that leverage improper might_cancel queueing     (bnc#1053152).

  - CVE-2017-11176: The mq_notify function in the Linux     kernel did not set the sock pointer to NULL upon entry     into the retry logic. During a user-space close of a     Netlink socket, it allowed attackers to cause a denial     of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified     other impact (bnc#1048275).

  - CVE-2017-12153: A security flaw was discovered in the     nl80211_set_rekey_data() function in     net/wireless/nl80211.c in the Linux kernel This function     did not check whether the required attributes are     present in a Netlink request. This request can be issued     by a user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability and may     result in a NULL pointer dereference and system crash     (bnc#1058410).

  - CVE-2017-12154: The prepare_vmcs02 function in     arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel did not ensure     that the 'CR8-load exiting' and 'CR8-store exiting' L0     vmcs02 controls exist in cases where L1 omits the 'use     TPR shadow' vmcs12 control, which allowed KVM L2 guest     OS users to obtain read and write access to the hardware     CR8 register (bnc#1058507).

  - CVE-2017-12762: In /drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_net.c: A     user-controlled buffer is copied into a local buffer of     constant size using strcpy without a length check which     can cause a buffer overflow. (bnc#1053148).

  - CVE-2017-13080: Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2)     allowed reinstallation of the Group Temporal Key (GTK)     during the group key handshake, allowing an attacker     within radio range to replay frames from access points     to clients (bnc#1063667).

  - CVE-2017-14051: An integer overflow in the     qla2x00_sysfs_write_optrom_ctl function in     drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.c in the Linux kernel     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory     corruption and system crash) by leveraging root access     (bnc#1056588).

  - CVE-2017-14106: The tcp_disconnect function in     net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users     to cause a denial of service (__tcp_select_window     divide-by-zero error and system crash) by triggering a     disconnect within a certain tcp_recvmsg code path     (bnc#1056982).

  - CVE-2017-14140: The move_pages system call in     mm/migrate.c in the Linux kernel doesn't check the     effective uid of the target process, enabling a local     attacker to learn the memory layout of a setuid     executable despite ASLR (bnc#1057179).

  - CVE-2017-15265: Use-after-free vulnerability in the     Linux kernel allowed local users to have unspecified     impact via vectors related to /dev/snd/seq     (bnc#1062520).

  - CVE-2017-15274: security/keys/keyctl.c in the Linux     kernel did not consider the case of a NULL payload in     conjunction with a nonzero length value, which allowed     local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and OOPS) via a crafted add_key or keyctl     system call, a different vulnerability than     CVE-2017-12192 (bnc#1045327).

  - CVE-2017-2647: The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel     allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial     of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash)     via vectors involving a NULL value for a certain match     field, related to the keyring_search_iterator function     in keyring.c (bnc#1030593).

  - CVE-2017-6951: The keyring_search_aux function in     security/keys/keyring.c in the Linux kernel allowed     local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and OOPS) via a request_key system call for     the 'dead' type (bnc#1029850).

(bnc#1039354).

  - CVE-2017-12153: A security flaw was discovered in the     nl80211_set_rekey_data() function in     net/wireless/nl80211.c in the Linux kernel This function     did not check whether the required attributes are     present in a Netlink request. This request can be issued     by a user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability and may     result in a NULL pointer dereference and system crash     (bnc#1058410).

  - CVE-2017-12154: The prepare_vmcs02 function in     arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel did not ensure     that the 'CR8-load exiting' and 'CR8-store exiting' L0     vmcs02 controls exist in cases where L1 omits the 'use     TPR shadow' vmcs12 control, which allowed KVM L2 guest     OS users to obtain read and write access to the hardware     CR8 register (bnc#1058507).

  - CVE-2017-14106: The tcp_disconnect function in     net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users     to cause a denial of service (__tcp_select_window     divide-by-zero error and system crash) by triggering a     disconnect within a certain tcp_recvmsg code path     (bnc#1056982).

  - CVE-2017-14051: An integer overflow in the     qla2x00_sysfs_write_optrom_ctl function in     drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.c in the Linux kernel     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory     corruption and system crash) by leveraging root access     (bnc#1056588).

  - CVE-2017-10661: Race condition in fs/timerfd.c in the     Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or     cause a denial of service (list corruption or     use-after-free) via simultaneous file-descriptor     operations that leverage improper might_cancel queueing     (bnc#1053152).

  - CVE-2017-12762: In /drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_net.c: A     user-controlled buffer is copied into a local buffer of     constant size using strcpy without a length check which     can cause a buffer overflow. (bnc#1053148).

  - CVE-2017-8831: The saa7164_bus_get function in     drivers/media/pci/saa7164/saa7164-bus.c in the Linux     kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have     unspecified other impact by changing a certain     sequence-number value, aka a 'double fetch'     vulnerability (bnc#1037994).

  - CVE-2017-7482: A potential memory corruption was fixed     in decoding of krb5 principals in the kernels kerberos     handling. (bnc#1046107).

  - CVE-2017-7542: The ip6_find_1stfragopt function in     net/ipv6/output_core.c in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and     infinite loop) by leveraging the ability to open a raw     socket (bnc#1049882).

  - CVE-2017-11176: The mq_notify function in the Linux     kernel did not set the sock pointer to NULL upon entry     into the retry logic. During a user-space close of a     Netlink socket, it allowed attackers to cause a denial     of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified     other impact (bnc#1048275).

  - CVE-2017-7541: The brcmf_cfg80211_mgmt_tx function in     drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg8021     1.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a     denial of service (buffer overflow and system crash) or     possibly gain privileges via a crafted NL80211_CMD_FRAME     Netlink packet (bnc#1049645).

  - CVE-2017-7518: The Linux kernel was vulnerable to an     incorrect debug exception(#DB) error. It could occur     while emulating a syscall instruction and potentially     lead to guest privilege escalation. (bsc#1045922).

  - CVE-2017-8924: The edge_bulk_in_callback function in     drivers/usb/serial/io_ti.c in the Linux kernel allowed     local users to obtain sensitive information (in the     dmesg ringbuffer and syslog) from uninitialized kernel     memory by using a crafted USB device (posing as an io_ti     USB serial device) to trigger an integer underflow     (bnc#1037182 bsc#1038982).

  - CVE-2017-8925: The omninet_open function in     drivers/usb/serial/omninet.c in the Linux kernel allowed     local users to cause a denial of service (tty     exhaustion) by leveraging reference count mishandling     (bnc#1037183 bsc#1038981).

  - CVE-2017-1000380: sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel     was vulnerable to a data race in the ALSA /dev/snd/timer     driver resulting in local users being able to read     information belonging to other users, i.e.,     uninitialized memory contents might have been disclosed     when a read and an ioctl happen at the same time     (bnc#1044125).

  - CVE-2017-9242: The __ip6_append_data function in     net/ipv6/ip6_output.c in the Linux kernel is too late in     checking whether an overwrite of an skb data structure     may occur, which allowed local users to cause a denial     of service (system crash) via crafted system calls     (bnc#1041431).

  - CVE-2017-1000363: Linux drivers/char/lp.c Out-of-Bounds     Write.

The remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address critical security updates : please see Oracle VM Security Advisory OVMSA-2017-0174 for details.

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An information-leak vulnerability was found in the     kernel when it truncated a file to a smaller size which     consisted of an inline extent that was compressed. The     data between the new file size and the old file size     was not discarded and the number of bytes used by the     inode were not correctly decremented, which gave the     wrong report for callers of the stat(2) syscall. This     wasted metadata space and allowed for the truncated     data to be leaked, and data corruption or loss to     occur. A caller of the clone ioctl could exploit this     flaw by using only standard file-system operations     without root access to read the truncated     data.(CVE-2015-8374i1/4%0

  - crypto/pcrypt.c in the Linux kernel, before 4.14.13,     mishandles freeing instances, allowing a local user     able to access the AF_ALG-based AEAD interface     (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_AEAD) and pcrypt     (CONFIG_CRYPTO_PCRYPT) to cause a denial of service     (kfree of an incorrect pointer) or possibly have     unspecified other impact by executing a crafted     sequence of system calls. Due to the nature of the     flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out,     although we believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2017-18075i1/4%0

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the Qualcomm     Wi-Fi driver could enable a local malicious application     to execute arbitrary code within the context of the     kernel. This issue is rated as High because it first     requires compromising a privileged process. Product:
    Android. Versions: N/A. Android ID: A-32835279.
    References: QC-CR#1096945.(CVE-2017-0523i1/4%0

  - The saa7164_bus_get function in     drivers/media/pci/saa7164/saa7164-bus.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.10.14 allows local users to cause a     denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or     possibly have unspecified other impact by changing a     certain sequence-number value, aka a 'double fetch'     vulnerability.(CVE-2017-8831i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's splice()     system call validated its parameters. On certain file     systems, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw     to write past the maximum file size, and thus crash the     system.(CVE-2014-7822i1/4%0

  - The vc4_get_bcl function in     drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_gem.c in the VideoCore DRM     driver in the Linux kernel before 4.9.7 does not set an     errno value upon certain overflow detections allowing     local users to cause a denial of service (incorrect     pointer dereference and OOPS) via inconsistent size     values in a VC4_SUBMIT_CL ioctl call.(CVE-2017-5577i1/4%0

  - In fs/ocfs2/cluster/nodemanager.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.15, local users can cause a denial of service     (NULL pointer dereference and BUG) because a required     mutex is not used.(CVE-2017-18216i1/4%0

  - A race condition issue leading to a use-after-free flaw     was found in the way the raw packet sockets     implementation in the Linux kernel networking subsystem     handled synchronization while creating the TPACKET_V3     ring buffer. A local user able to open a raw packet     socket (requires the CAP_NET_RAW capability) could use     this flaw to elevate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2016-8655i1/4%0

  - An exploitable memory corruption flaw was found in the     Linux kernel. The append path can be erroneously     switched from UFO to non-UFO in ip_ufo_append_data()     when building an UFO packet with MSG_MORE option. If     unprivileged user namespaces are available, this flaw     can be exploited to gain root     privileges.(CVE-2017-1000112i1/4%0

  - A security flaw was found in the Linux kernel in a way     that the cleancache subsystem clears an inode after the     final file truncation (removal). The new file created     with the same inode may contain leftover pages from     cleancache and the old file data instead of the new     one.(CVE-2018-16862i1/4%0

  - arch/arm64/ include /asm/pgtable.h in the Linux kernel     before 3.15-rc5-next-20140519, as used in Android     before 2016-07-05 on Nexus 5X and 6P devices,     mishandles execute-only pages, which allows attackers     to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka     Android internal bug 28557020.(CVE-2014-9803i1/4%0

  - A heap-buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the     arcmsr_iop_message_xfer() function in     'drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c' file in the Linux     kernel through 4.8.2. The function does not restrict a     certain length field, which allows local users to gain     privileges or cause a denial of service via an     ARCMSR_MESSAGE_WRITE_WQBUFFER control code. This can     potentially cause kernel heap corruption and arbitrary     kernel code execution.(CVE-2016-7425i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     4.18.11. The ipddp_ioctl function in     drivers/net/appletalk/ipddp.c allows local users to     obtain sensitive kernel address information by     leveraging CAP_NET_ADMIN to read the ipddp_route dev     and next fields via an SIOCFINDIPDDPRT ioctl     call.(CVE-2018-20511i1/4%0

  - A memory leak in the irda_bind function in     net/irda/af_irda.c in the Linux kernel, through 4.16,     allows local users to cause a denial of service due to     a memory consumption by repeatedly binding an AF_IRDA     socket.(CVE-2018-6554i1/4%0

  - sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4.1     employs a locking approach that does not consider slave     timer instances, which allows local users to cause a     denial of service (race condition, use-after-free, and     system crash) via a crafted ioctl     call.(CVE-2016-2547i1/4%0

  - Buffer overflow in the complete_emulated_mmio function     in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13.6     allows guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on the     host OS by leveraging a loop that triggers an invalid     memory copy affecting certain cancel_work_item     data.(CVE-2014-0049i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the F2FS filesystem code in     the Linux kernel in fs/f2fs/inode.c. A denial of     service due to a slab out-of-bounds read can occur for     a crafted f2fs filesystem image in which FI_EXTRA_ATTR     is set in an inode.(CVE-2018-13098i1/4%0

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel where     having malicious IP options present would cause the     ipv4_pktinfo_prepare() function to drop/free the dst.
    This could result in a system crash or possible     privilege escalation.(CVE-2017-5970i1/4%0

  - In the Linux kernel's vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl()     function, in 'drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c'     file, a 'req-i1/4zmip_levels' is a user-controlled value     which is later used as a loop count limit. This allows     local unprivileged user to cause a denial of service by     a kernel lockup via a crafted ioctl call for a     '/dev/dri/renderD*' device.(CVE-2017-7346i1/4%0

  - It was found that the NFSv4 server in the Linux kernel     did not properly validate layout type when processing     NFSv4 pNFS LAYOUTGET and GETDEVICEINFO operands. A     remote attacker could use this flaw to soft-lockup the     system and thus cause denial of     service.(CVE-2017-8797i1/4%0
