SUSE-SU-2018:1836-1 Security update for procps

This update for procps fixes the following security issues: - CVE-2018-1122: Prevent local privilege escalation in top. If a user ran top with HOME unset in an attacker-controlled directory, the attacker could have achieved privilege escalation by exploiting one of several vulnerabilities in the...

CVE-2018-1120

A flaw was found affecting the Linux kernel before version 4.17. By mmaping a FUSE-backed file onto a process's memory containing command line arguments or environment strings, an attacker can cause utilities from psutils or procps such as ps, w or any other program which makes a read call to the...

procps/procps-ng hidden process vulnerability

procps/procps-ng is a utility program used on Linux platforms to provide information about proc filesystem processes. A security vulnerability exists in procps/procps-ng. An attacker can exploit the vulnerability to hide processes...

Race condition

procps-ng, procps is vulnerable to a process hiding through race condition. Since the kernel's procpidreaddir returns PID entries in ascending numeric order, a process occupying a high PID can use inotify events to determine when the process list is being scanned, and fork/exec to obtain a lower...

CVE-2018-1121

CVE-2018-1121 affects procps, procps-ng up to version 3.3.15. The issue is a race in reading /proc/PID entries where a high-PID process can observe enumeration with inotify and fork/exec to obtain a lower PID, enabling an unprivileged attacker to hide a process from procps-ng utilities. Connected...

RHEL 7 : Red Hat Virtualization (RHSA-2018:1820)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2018:1820 advisory. The redhat-virtualization-host packages provide the Red Hat Virtualization Host. These packages include redhat-release-virtualization-host,...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2018-1038) (Spectre)

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...

Amazon Linux 2 : procps-ng (ALAS-2018-1031)

Multiple integer overflows leading to heap corruption flaws were discovered in file2strvec. These vulnerabilities can lead to privilege escalation for a local attacker who can create entries in procfs by starting processes, which will lead to crashes or arbitrary code execution in proc utilities...

Important: Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat Virtualization security, bug fix, and enhancement update

An update for imgbased, redhat-release-virtualization-host, and redhat-virtualization-host is now available for Red Hat Virtualization 4 for RHEL-7. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System CVSS base score, whic...

procps: incorrect integer size in proc/alloc.* leading to truncation / integer overflow issues

A flaw was found where procps-ng provides wrappers for standard C allocators that took unsigned int instead of sizet parameters. On platforms where these differ such as x8664, this could cause integer truncation, leading to undersized regions being returned to callers that could then be overflowe...

procps: Integer overflows leading to heap overflow in file2strvec

Multiple integer overflows leading to heap corruption flaws were discovered in file2strvec. These vulnerabilities can lead to privilege escalation for a local attacker who can create entries in procfs by starting processes, which will lead to crashes or arbitrary code execution in proc utilities...

Important: procps-ng

Issue Overview: Multiple integer overflows leading to heap corruption flaws were discovered in file2strvec. These vulnerabilities can lead to privilege escalation for a local attacker who can create entries in procfs by starting processes, which will lead to crashes or arbitrary code execution in...

USN-3658-2: procps-ng vulnerabilities

USN-3658-1 fixed a vulnerability in procps-ng. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 12.04 ESM. Original advisory details: It was discovered that libprocps incorrectly handled the file2strvec function. A local attacker could possibly use this to execute arbitrary code...

Debian DLA-1390-1 : procps security update

The Qualys Research Labs discovered multiple vulnerabilities in procps, a set of command line and full screen utilities for browsing procfs. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : CVE-2018-1122 top read its configuration from the current working...
