Ubuntu 14.04 LTS : Linux kernel (Azure) vulnerabilities (USN-3820-3)

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3820-3 advisory. Felix Wilhelm discovered that the Xen netback driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform input validation in some situations. An attacker could...

kernel: v4l2: disabled memory access protection mechanism allowing privilege escalation

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...

UBUNTU-CVE-2018-3574

In all android releases Android for MSM, Firefox OS for MSM, QRD Android from CAF using the linux kernel, userspace can request ION cache maintenance on a secure ION buffer for which the IONFLAGSECURE ion flag is not set and cause the kernel to attempt to perform cache maintenance on memory which...

Kernel: hw: cpu: L1 terminal fault (L1TF)

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...

Google Android has an unspecified vulnerability (CNVD-2019-44517)

Android is a Linux-based open source operating system jointly developed by Google and the Open Handheld Alliance OHA. A security vulnerability exists in Android that stems from the program not properly validating pointers in the ADSPRPC command. An attacker can exploit the vulnerability to access...

CVE-2018-5886

CVE-2018-5886 describes a vulnerability where a pointer in an ADSPRPC command is not properly validated in CAF Android builds using the Linux kernel (Android for MSM, Firefox OS for MSM, QRD Android). The root cause is improper validation of a pointer in the ADSPRPC path, which can allow access t...

kernel: mm subsystem does not properly enforce the CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM protection mechanism

The mm subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.10.10 does not properly enforce the CONFIGSTRICTDEVMEM protection mechanism, which allows local users to read or write to kernel memory locations in the first megabyte and bypass slab-allocation access restrictions via an application that opens the...

Linux kernel 'udl_fb_mmap' function integer overflow vulnerability

Linux kernel is the kernel used by Linux, the open source operating system released by the Linux Foundation in the United States. An integer overflow vulnerability exists in the 'udlfbmmap' function in the drivers/gpu/drm/udl/udlfb.c file in Linux kernel versions 3.4 through 4.15. A local attacke...

CVE-2018-8781

The udlfbmmap function in drivers/gpu/drm/udl/udlfb.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...

CVE-2018-6917

In FreeBSD before 11.1-STABLE, 11.1-RELEASE-p9, 10.4-STABLE, 10.4-RELEASE-p8 and 10.3-RELEASE-p28, insufficient validation of user-provided font parameters can result in an integer overflow, leading to the use of arbitrary kernel memory as glyph data. Unprivileged users may be able to access...
