The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2018:2392 advisory.

    The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

    Security Fix(es):

    * Modern operating systems implement virtualization of physical memory to efficiently use available system     resources and provide inter-domain protection through access control and isolation. The L1TF issue was     found in the way the x86 microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of instructions (a     commonly used performance optimisation) in combination with handling of page-faults caused by terminated     virtual to physical address resolving process. As a result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw     to read privileged memory of the kernel or other processes and/or cross guest/host boundaries to read host     memory by conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks. (CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646)

    * kernel: kvm: vmx: host GDT limit corruption (CVE-2018-10901)

(CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646)

    * An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern microprocessor designs have implemented     speculative execution of instructions past bounds check. The flaw relies on the presence of a precisely-     defined instruction sequence in the privileged code and the fact that memory writes occur to an address     which depends on the untrusted value. Such writes cause an update into the microprocessor's data cache     even for speculatively executed instructions that never actually commit (retire). As a result, an     unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to influence speculative execution and/or read privileged memory     by conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks. (CVE-2018-3693)

    * A flaw named SegmentSmack was found in the way the Linux kernel handled specially crafted TCP packets. A     remote attacker could use this flaw to trigger time and calculation expensive calls to     tcp_collapse_ofo_queue() and tcp_prune_ofo_queue() functions by sending specially modified packets within     ongoing TCP sessions which could lead to a CPU saturation and hence a denial of service on the system.
    Maintaining the denial of service condition requires continuous two-way TCP sessions to a reachable open     port, thus the attacks cannot be performed using spoofed IP addresses. (CVE-2018-5390)

    * kernel: kvm: vmx: host GDT limit corruption (CVE-2018-10901)

    * kernel: Use-after-free in snd_pcm_info function in ALSA subsystem potentially leads to privilege     escalation (CVE-2017-0861)

    * kernel: Use-after-free in snd_seq_ioctl_create_port() (CVE-2017-15265)

    * kernel: race condition in snd_seq_write() may lead to UAF or OOB-access (CVE-2018-7566)

    Bug Fix(es):

    * The Least recently used (LRU) operations are batched by caching pages in per-cpu page vectors to prevent     contention of the heavily used lru_lock spinlock. The page vectors can hold even the compound pages.
    Previously, the page vectors were cleared only if they were full. Subsequently, the amount of memory held     in page vectors, which is not reclaimable, was sometimes too high. Consequently the page reclamation     started the Out of Memory (OOM) killing processes. With this update, the underlying source code has been     fixed to clear LRU page vectors each time when a compound page is added to them. As a result, OOM killing     processes due to high amounts of memory held in page vectors no longer occur. (BZ#1575819)

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 4.05, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of     the SCTP protocol. A remote attacker could trigger an     out-of-bounds read with an offset of up to 64kB     potentially causing the system to crash. (CVE-2016-9555)

  - 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-2017-1000112)

  - A bug in the 32-bit compatibility layer of the ioctl     handling code of the v4l2 video driver in the Linux     kernel has been found. A memory protection mechanism     ensuring that user-provided buffers always point to a     userspace memory were disabled, allowing destination     address to be in a kernel space. This flaw could be     exploited by an attacker to overwrite a kernel memory     from an unprivileged userspace process, leading to     privilege escalation. (CVE-2017-13166)

  - An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern     microprocessor designs have implemented speculative     execution of instructions (a commonly used performance     optimization). There are three primary variants of the     issue which differ in the way the speculative execution     can be exploited. Variant CVE-2017-5753 triggers the     speculative execution by performing a bounds-check     bypass. It relies on the presence of a precisely-defined     instruction sequence in the privileged code as well as     the fact that memory accesses may cause allocation into     the microprocessor's data cache even for speculatively     executed instructions that never actually commit     (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker could     use this flaw to cross the syscall boundary and read     privileged memory by conducting targeted cache side-     channel attacks. (CVE-2017-5753)

  - An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern     microprocessor designs have implemented speculative     execution of instructions (a commonly used performance     optimization). There are three primary variants of the     issue which differ in the way the speculative execution     can be exploited. Variant CVE-2017-5754 relies on the     fact that, on impacted microprocessors, during     speculative execution of instruction permission faults,     exception generation triggered by a faulting access is     suppressed until the retirement of the whole instruction     block. In a combination with the fact that memory     accesses may populate the cache even when the block is     being dropped and never committed (executed), an     unprivileged local attacker could use this flaw to read     privileged (kernel space) memory by conducting targeted     cache side-channel attacks. Note: CVE-2017-5754 affects     Intel x86-64 microprocessors. AMD x86-64 microprocessors     are not affected by this issue. (CVE-2017-5754)

  - It was found that the packet_set_ring() function of the     Linux kernel's networking implementation did not     properly validate certain block-size data. A local     attacker with CAP_NET_RAW capability could use this flaw     to trigger a buffer overflow resulting in a system crash     or a privilege escalation. (CVE-2017-7308)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in DCCP socket     code affecting the Linux kernel since 2.6.16. This     vulnerability could allow an attacker to their escalate     privileges. (CVE-2017-8824)

  - The do_get_mempolicy() function in mm/mempolicy.c in the     Linux kernel allows local users to hit a use-after-free     bug via crafted system calls and thus cause a denial of     service (DoS) or possibly have unspecified other impact.
    Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation     cannot be fully ruled out. (CVE-2018-10675)

  - A flaw was found in Linux kernel's KVM virtualization     subsystem. The VMX code does not restore the GDT.LIMIT     to the previous host value, but instead sets it to 64KB.
    With a corrupted GDT limit a host's userspace code has     an ability to place malicious entries in the GDT,     particularly to the per-cpu variables. An attacker can     use this to escalate their privileges. (CVE-2018-10901)

  - An integer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's     create_elf_tables() function. An unprivileged local user     with access to SUID (or otherwise privileged) binary     could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the     system. (CVE-2018-14634)

  - An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern     microprocessor designs have implemented speculative     execution of Load & Store instructions (a commonly used     performance optimization). It relies on the presence of     a precisely-defined instruction sequence in the     privileged code as well as the fact that memory read     from address to which a recent memory write has occurred     may see an older value and subsequently cause an update     into the microprocessor's data cache even for     speculatively executed instructions that never actually     commit (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker     could use this flaw to read privileged memory by     conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks.

(CVE-2018-5390)

  - A flaw named FragmentSmack was found in the way the     Linux kernel handled reassembly of fragmented IPv4 and     IPv6 packets. A remote attacker could use this flaw to     trigger time and calculation expensive fragment     reassembly algorithm by sending specially crafted     packets which could lead to a CPU saturation and hence a     denial of service on the system. (CVE-2018-5391)
