The Linux Foundation Security Vulnerabilities

CVE-2018-16880

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handle_rx() function in the [vhost_net] driver. A malicious virtual guest, under specific conditions, can trigger an out-of-bounds write in a kmalloc-8 slab on a virtual host which may lead to a kernel memory corruption and a system panic. Due to the nature...

CVE-2018-14633

A security flaw was found in the chap_server_compute_md5() function in the ISCSI target code in the Linux kernel in a way an authentication request from an ISCSI initiator is processed. An unauthenticated remote attacker can cause a stack buffer overflow and smash up to 17 bytes of the stack. The.....

CVE-2018-16885

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel that allows the userspace to call memcpy_fromiovecend() and similar functions with a zero offset and buffer length which causes the read beyond the buffer boundaries, in certain cases causing a memory access fault and a system halt by accessing invalid memory...

CVE-2020-10751

A flaw was found in the Linux kernels SELinux LSM hook implementation before version 5.7, where it incorrectly assumed that an skb would only contain a single netlink message. The hook would incorrectly only validate the first netlink message in the skb and allow or deny the rest of the messages...

CVE-2019-3896

A double-free can happen in idr_remove_all() in lib/idr.c in the Linux kernel 2.6 branch. An unprivileged local attacker can use this flaw for a privilege escalation or for a system crash and a denial of service...

CVE-2018-14634

An integer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's create_elf_tables() function. An unprivileged local user with access to SUID (or otherwise privileged) binary could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. Kernel versions 2.6.x, 3.10.x and 4.14.x are believed to be...

CVE-2019-3874

The SCTP socket buffer used by a userspace application is not accounted by the cgroups subsystem. An attacker can use this flaw to cause a denial of service attack. Kernel 3.10.x and 4.18.x branches are believed to be...

CVE-2019-3887

A flaw was found in the way KVM hypervisor handled x2APIC Machine Specific Rregister (MSR) access with nested(=1) virtualization enabled. In that, L1 guest could access L0's APIC register values via L2 guest, when 'virtualize x2APIC mode' is enabled. A guest could use this flaw to potentially...

CVE-2019-3901

A race condition in perf_event_open() allows local attackers to leak sensitive data from setuid programs. As no relevant locks (in particular the cred_guard_mutex) are held during the ptrace_may_access() call, it is possible for the specified target task to perform an execve() syscall with setuid.....

CVE-2019-3882

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's vfio interface implementation that permits violation of the user's locked memory limit. If a device is bound to a vfio driver, such as vfio-pci, and the local attacker is administratively granted ownership of the device, it may cause a system memory...

CVE-2018-16882

A use-after-free issue was found in the way the Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor processed posted interrupts when nested(=1) virtualization is enabled. In nested_get_vmcs12_pages(), in case of an error while processing posted interrupt address, it unmaps the 'pi_desc_page' without resetting 'pi_desc'....

CVE-2019-3837

It was found that the net_dma code in tcp_recvmsg() in the 2.6.32 kernel as shipped in RHEL6 is thread-unsafe. So an unprivileged multi-threaded userspace application calling recvmsg() for the same network socket in parallel executed on ioatdma-enabled hardware with net_dma enabled can leak the...

CVE-2019-1010234

The Linux Foundation ONOS 1.15.0 and ealier is affected by: Improper Input Validation. The impact is: The attacker can remotely execute any commands by sending malicious http request to the controller. The component is: Method runJavaCompiler in YangLiveCompilerManager.java. The attack vector is:.....

CVE-2019-1010245

The Linux Foundation ONOS SDN Controller 1.15 and earlier versions is affected by: Improper Input Validation. The impact is: A remote attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the controller. The component is: apps/yang/src/main/java/org/onosproject/yang/impl/YangLiveCompilerManager.java. The...

CVE-2019-1010250

The Linux Foundation ONOS 2.0.0 and earlier is affected by: Poor Input-validation. The impact is: A network administrator (or attacker) can install unintended flow rules in the switch by mistake. The component is: createFlow() and createFlows() functions in FlowWebResource.java (RESTful service)......

CVE-2019-1010252

The Linux Foundation ONOS 2.0.0 and earlier is affected by: Poor Input-validation. The impact is: A network administrator (or attacker) can install unintended flow rules in the switch by mistake. The component is: applyFlowRules() and apply() functions in FlowRuleManager.java. The attack vector...

CVE-2019-1010249

The Linux Foundation ONOS 2.0.0 and earlier is affected by: Integer Overflow. The impact is: A network administrator (or attacker) can install unintended flow rules in the switch by mistake. The component is: createFlow() and createFlows() functions in FlowWebResource.java (RESTful service). The...

CVE-2019-3819

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the function hid_debug_events_read() in drivers/hid/hid-debug.c file which may enter an infinite loop with certain parameters passed from a userspace. A local privileged user ("root") can cause a system lock up and a denial of service. Versions from v4.18...

CVE-2018-14641

A security flaw was found in the ip_frag_reasm() function in net/ipv4/ip_fragment.c in the Linux kernel from 4.19-rc1 to 4.19-rc3 inclusive, which can cause a later system crash in ip_do_fragment(). With certain non-default, but non-rare, configuration of a victim host, an attacker can trigger...
