USN-4626-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Simon Scannell discovered that the bpf verifier in the Linux kernel did not properly calculate register bounds for certain operations. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information kernel memory or gain administrative privileges. CVE-2020-27194 Moritz Lipp, Michael Schwarz,...

kernel: bpf: reject unhashed sockets in bpf_sk_assign

A reference counting flaw was found in the Linux kernel's BPF socket assignment helper when handling unhashed UDP sockets. When a BPF program assigns an unhashed UDP socket to a packet, the function increments the socket reference count assuming SOCKRCUFREE isn't set. However, subsequent bind or...

kernel: bpf: Fix KASAN use-after-free Read in compute_effective_progs

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix KASAN use-after-free Read in computeeffectiveprogs Syzbot found a Use After Free bug in computeeffectiveprogs. The reproducer creates a number of BPF links, and causes a fault injected alloc to fail, while calling...

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel affected versions not specified Description: A Use After Free bug was found in the compute effective progs function. The issue occurs when a fault is injected into an allocation failure while calling bpf link detach on a number o...

Remote Code Execution (RCE)

Blueman is vulnerable to remote code execution RCE. On systems with ISC DHCP client dhclient, attackers can pass arguments to ip link with the interface name that can e.g. be used to bring down an interface or add an arbitrary XDP/BPF program. On systems with dhcpcd and without ISC DHCP client,...

CVE-2019-7308

A bypass was found for the Spectre v1 hardening in the eBPF engine of the Linux kernel. The code in the kernel/bpf/verifier.c performs undesirable out-of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic in various cases, including cases of different branches with different state or limits to sanitize,...

Updated kernel packages fix security vulnerabilities

This update is based on upstream 5.5.14 and fixes at least the following security vulnerabilities: In the Linux kernel 5.3.10, there is a use-after-free read in the perftracelockacquire function related to include/trace/events/lock.h CVE-2019-19769. Manfred Paul discovered that the bpf verifier i...

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...

CVE-2020-8835

CVE-2020-8835 affects Linux kernel 5.5.0 and newer, with backports to 5.4.x. The issue is in the BPF verifier (kernel/bpf/verifier.c): it truncates 64-bit values to 32-bit for 32-bit operations, causing the verifier’s checked bounds to diverge from actual execution. This can lead to out-of-bounds...
