Ubuntu 20.04 LTS : Linux kernel (GKE) vulnerabilities (USN-5877-1)

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5877-1 advisory. Kyle Zeng discovered that the sysctl implementation in the Linux kernel contained a stack-based buffer overflow. A local attacker could use this to cause...

SUSE CVE-2014-3144

The 1 BPFSANCNLATTR and 2 BPFSANCNLATTRNEST extension implementations in the skrunfilter function in net/core/filter.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.3 do not check whether a certain length value is sufficiently large, which allows local users to cause a denial of service integer underflow and...

SUSE CVE-2014-3145

The BPFSANCNLATTRNEST extension implementation in the skrunfilter function in net/core/filter.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.3 uses the reverse order in a certain subtraction, which allows local users to cause a denial of service over-read and system crash via crafted BPF instructions. NOTE:...

SUSE CVE-2015-4700

The bpfintjitcompile function in arch/x86/net/bpfjitcomp.c in the Linux kernel before 4.0.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service system crash by creating a packet filter and then loading crafted BPF instructions that trigger late convergence by the JIT compiler...

SUSE CVE-2016-2383

The adjustbranches function in kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5 does not consider the delta in the backward-jump case, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by creating a packet filter and then loading crafted BPF instructions...

SUSE CVE-2016-4557

The replacemapfdwithmapptr function in kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.5 does not properly maintain an fd data structure, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service use-after-free via crafted BPF instructions that reference an incorrect file...

SUSE CVE-2016-4794

Use-after-free vulnerability in mm/percpu.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service BUG or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted use of the mmap and bpf system calls...

SUSE CVE-2017-16996

kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.8 allows local users to cause a denial of service memory corruption or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging register truncation mishandling...

SUSE CVE-2017-17854

kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.8 allows local users to cause a denial of service integer overflow and memory corruption or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging unrestricted integer values for pointer arithmetic...

SUSE CVE-2017-17853

kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.8 allows local users to cause a denial of service memory corruption or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging incorrect BPFRSH signed bounds calculations...

SUSE CVE-2017-17856

kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.8 allows local users to cause a denial of service memory corruption or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the lack of stack-pointer alignment enforcement...

SUSE CVE-2017-17857

The checkstackboundary function in kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.8 allows local users to cause a denial of service memory corruption or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging mishandling of invalid variable stack read operations...

SUSE CVE-2017-17862

kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.8 ignores unreachable code, even though it would still be processed by JIT compilers. This behavior, also considered an improper branch-pruning logic issue, could possibly be used by local users for denial of service...

SUSE CVE-2017-17863

kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel 4.9.x through 4.9.71 does not check the relationship between pointer values and the BPF stack, which allows local users to cause a denial of service integer overflow or invalid memory access or possibly have unspecified other impact...

SUSE CVE-2018-18445

In the Linux kernel 4.14.x, 4.15.x, 4.16.x, 4.17.x, and 4.18.x before 4.18.13, faulty computation of numeric bounds in the BPF verifier permits out-of-bounds memory accesses because adjustscalarminmaxvals in kernel/bpf/verifier.c mishandles 32-bit right shifts...

SUSE CVE-2018-25020

The BPF subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.17 mishandles situations with a long jump over an instruction sequence where inner instructions require substantial expansions into multiple BPF instructions, leading to an overflow. This affects kernel/bpf/core.c and net/core/filter.c...

SUSE CVE-2019-7308

kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel before 4.20.6 performs undesirable out-of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic in various cases, including cases of different branches with different state or limits to sanitize, leading to side-channel attacks...

SUSE CVE-2020-8835

In the Linux kernel 5.5.0 and newer, the bpf verifier kernel/bpf/verifier.c did not properly restrict the register bounds for 32-bit operations, leading to out-of-bounds reads and writes in kernel memory. The vulnerability also affects the Linux 5.4 stable series, starting with v5.4.7, as the...

SUSE CVE-2020-27170

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.8. kernel/bpf/verifier.c performs undesirable out-of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic, leading to side-channel attacks that defeat Spectre mitigations and obtain sensitive information from kernel memory, aka CID-f232326f6966. This...

SUSE CVE-2020-27171

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.8. kernel/bpf/verifier.c has an off-by-one error with a resultant integer underflow affecting out-of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic, leading to side-channel attacks that defeat Spectre mitigations and obtain sensitive information...
