Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks.

  - CVE-2015-9016     Ming Lei reported a race condition in the multiqueue     block layer (blk-mq). On a system with a driver using     blk-mq (mtip32xx, null_blk, or virtio_blk), a local user     might be able to use this for denial of service or     possibly for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2017-0861     Robb Glasser reported a potential use-after-free in the     ALSA (sound) PCM core. We believe this was not possible     in practice.

  - CVE-2017-5715     Multiple researchers have discovered a vulnerability in     various processors supporting speculative execution,     enabling an attacker controlling an unprivileged process     to read memory from arbitrary addresses, including from     the kernel and all other processes running on the     system.

  This specific attack has been named Spectre variant 2 (branch target   injection) and is mitigated for the x86 architecture (amd64 and   i386) by using the 'retpoline' compiler feature which allows   indirect branches to be isolated from speculative execution.

  - CVE-2017-5753     Multiple researchers have discovered a vulnerability in     various processors supporting speculative execution,     enabling an attacker controlling an unprivileged process     to read memory from arbitrary addresses, including from     the kernel and all other processes running on the     system.

  This specific attack has been named Spectre variant 1 (bounds-check   bypass) and is mitigated by identifying vulnerable code sections   (array bounds checking followed by array access) and replacing the   array access with the speculation-safe array_index_nospec()   function.

  More use sites will be added over time.

  - CVE-2017-13166     A bug in the 32-bit compatibility layer of the v4l2     ioctl handling code has been found. Memory protections     ensuring user-provided buffers always point to userland     memory were disabled, allowing destination addresses to     be in kernel space. On a 64-bit kernel a local user with     access to a suitable video device can exploit this to     overwrite kernel memory, leading to privilege     escalation.

  - CVE-2017-13220     Al Viro reported that the Bluetooth HIDP implementation     could dereference a pointer before performing the     necessary type check. A local user could use this to     cause a denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-18232     Jason Yan reported a race condition in the SAS     (Serial-Attached SCSI) subsystem, between probing and     destroying a port. This could lead to a deadlock. A     physically present attacker could use this to cause a     denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-18241     Yunlei He reported that the f2fs implementation does not     properly initialise its state if the 'noflush_merge'     mount option is used. A local user with access to a     filesystem mounted with this option could use this to     cause a denial of service.

  - CVE-2018-1066     Dan Aloni reported to Red Hat that the CIFS client     implementation would dereference a NULL pointer if the     server sent an invalid response during NTLMSSP setup     negotiation. This could be used by a malicious server     for denial of service.

  - CVE-2018-1068     The syzkaller tool found that the 32-bit compatibility     layer of ebtables did not sufficiently validate offset     values. On a 64-bit kernel, a local user with the     CAP_NET_ADMIN capability (in any user namespace) could     use this to overwrite kernel memory, possibly leading to     privilege escalation. Debian disables unprivileged user     namespaces by default.

  - CVE-2018-1092     Wen Xu reported that a crafted ext4 filesystem image     would trigger a null dereference when mounted. A local     user able to mount arbitrary filesystems could use this     for denial of service.

  - CVE-2018-5332     Mohamed Ghannam reported that the RDS protocol did not     sufficiently validate RDMA requests, leading to an     out-of-bounds write. A local attacker on a system with     the rds module loaded could use this for denial of     service or possibly for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2018-6927     Li Jinyue reported that the FUTEX_REQUEUE operation on     futexes did not check for negative parameter values,     which might lead to a denial of service or other     security impact.

  - CVE-2018-7492     The syzkaller tool found that the RDS protocol was     lacking a null pointer check. A local attacker on a     system with the rds module loaded could use this for     denial of service.

  - CVE-2018-7566     Fan LongFei reported a race condition in the ALSA     (sound) sequencer core, between write and ioctl     operations. This could lead to an out-of-bounds access     or use-after-free. A local user with access to a     sequencer device could use this for denial of service or     possibly for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2018-7740     Nic Losby reported that the hugetlbfs filesystem's mmap     operation did not properly range-check the file offset.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3656-1 advisory.

  - Use-after-free in the usbtv_probe function in drivers/media/usb/usbtv/usbtv-core.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.14.10 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified     other impact by triggering failure of audio registration, because a kfree of the usbtv data structure     occurs during a usbtv_video_free call, but the usbtv_video_fail label's code attempts to both access and     free this data structure. (CVE-2017-17975)

  - fs/f2fs/extent_cache.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13 mishandles extent trees, which allows local users     to cause a denial of service (BUG) via an application with multiple threads. (CVE-2017-18193)

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.12, Hisilicon Network Subsystem (HNS) does not consider the ETH_SS_PRIV_FLAGS     case when retrieving sset_count data, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (buffer     overflow and memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact, as demonstrated by     incompatibility between hns_get_sset_count and ethtool_get_strings. (CVE-2017-18222)

  - The netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.15.7 mishandles the case of a rule blob that     contains a jump but lacks a user-defined chain, which allows local users to cause a denial of service     (NULL pointer dereference) by leveraging the CAP_NET_RAW or CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, related to     arpt_do_table in net/ipv4/netfilter/arp_tables.c, ipt_do_table in net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c, and     ip6t_do_table in net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6_tables.c. (CVE-2018-1065)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux 4.x kernel's implementation of 32-bit syscall interface for bridging. This     allowed a privileged user to arbitrarily write to a limited range of kernel memory. (CVE-2018-1068)

  - Linux kernel before version 4.16-rc7 is vulnerable to a null pointer dereference in dccp_write_xmit()     function in net/dccp/output.c in that allows a local user to cause a denial of service by a number of     certain crafted system calls. (CVE-2018-1130)

  - In the Linux Kernel before version 4.15.8, 4.14.25, 4.9.87, 4.4.121, 4.1.51, and 3.2.102, an error in the
    _sctp_make_chunk() function (net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c) when handling SCTP packets length can be     exploited to cause a kernel crash. (CVE-2018-5803)

  - The blkcg_init_queue function in block/blk-cgroup.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11 allows local users to     cause a denial of service (double free) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a creation     failure. (CVE-2018-7480)

  - Memory leak in the sas_smp_get_phy_events function in drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.15.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via many read     accesses to files in the /sys/class/sas_phy directory, as demonstrated by the     /sys/class/sas_phy/phy-1:0:12/invalid_dword_count file. (CVE-2018-7757)

  - Race condition in the store_int_with_restart() function in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.15.7 allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) by leveraging root access to     write to the check_interval file in a /sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheck<cpu number> directory.
    NOTE: a third party has indicated that this report is not security relevant (CVE-2018-7995)

  - The udl_fb_mmap function in drivers/gpu/drm/udl/udl_fb.c at the Linux kernel version 3.4 and up to and     including 4.15 has an integer-overflow vulnerability allowing local users with access to the udldrmfb     driver to obtain full read and write permissions on kernel physical pages, resulting in a code execution     in kernel space. (CVE-2018-8781)

  - Incorrect buffer length handling in the ncp_read_kernel function in fs/ncpfs/ncplib_kernel.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.15.11, and in drivers/staging/ncpfs/ncplib_kernel.c in the Linux kernel 4.16-rc through     4.16-rc6, could be exploited by malicious NCPFS servers to crash the kernel or execute code.

    __dm_destroy during creation and removal of DM devices     (bnc#1083242).

  - CVE-2017-16911: The vhci_hcd driver allowed allows local     attackers to disclose kernel memory addresses.
    Successful exploitation requires that a USB device is     attached over IP (bnc#1078674).

  - CVE-2017-18208: The madvise_willneed function in     mm/madvise.c allowed local users to cause a denial of     service (infinite loop) by triggering use of     MADVISE_WILLNEED for a DAX mapping (bnc#1083494).

  - CVE-2017-16644: The hdpvr_probe function in     drivers/media/usb/hdpvr/hdpvr-core.c 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 in     kernel/futex.c might allow 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).
