CVE-2014-8369 – kernel: kvm: excessive pages un-pinning in kvm_iommu_map error path
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2014-8369
The kvm_iommu_map_pages function in virt/kvm/iommu.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 miscalculates the number of pages during the handling of a mapping failure, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS page unpinning) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging guest OS privileges. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2014-3601. La función kvm_iommu_map_pages en virt/kvm/iommu.c en el kernel de Linux hasta 3.17.2 calcula mal el número de páginas durante el manejo de fallo en el mapeo, lo que permite a usuarios del sistema operativo invitado causar una denegación de servicio ( liberación de página del sistema operativo anfitrión) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado mediante el aprovechamiento de los privilegios del sistema operativo invitado. NOTA: esta vulnerabilidad existe debido a una solución incorrecta para CVE-2014-3601. It was found that the fix for CVE-2014-3601 was incomplete: the Linux kernel's kvm_iommu_map_pages() function still handled IOMMU mapping failures incorrectly. • http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git%3Ba=commit%3Bh=3d32e4dbe71374a6780eaf51d719d76f9a9bf22f http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2015-03/msg00010.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2015-03/msg00025.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2015-04/msg00015.html http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2015-0674.html http://secunia.com/advisories/62326 http://secunia.com/advisories/62336 http://www.debian.org/security/ • CWE-119: Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer •
CVE-2014-3690 – kernel: kvm: vmx: invalid host cr4 handling across vm entries
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2014-3690
arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.17.2 on Intel processors does not ensure that the value in the CR4 control register remains the same after a VM entry, which allows host OS users to kill arbitrary processes or cause a denial of service (system disruption) by leveraging /dev/kvm access, as demonstrated by PR_SET_TSC prctl calls within a modified copy of QEMU. arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c en el subsistema KVM en el kernel de Linux anterior a 3.17.2 en los procesadores Intel no asegura que el valor en el registro de control CR4 queda igual después de una entrada VM, lo que permite a usuarios del sistema operativo anfitrión cancelar varios procesos o causar una denegación de servicio (interrupción del sistema) mediante el aprovechamiento del acceso a /dev/kvm, tal y como fue demostrado por llamadas a prctl PR_SET_TSC dentro de una copia modificada de QEMU. It was found that the Linux kernel's KVM implementation did not ensure that the host CR4 control register value remained unchanged across VM entries on the same virtual CPU. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service on the system. • http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git%3Ba=commit%3Bh=d974baa398f34393db76be45f7d4d04fbdbb4a0a http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2015-01/msg00035.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2015-03/msg00010.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2015-03/msg00025.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2015-04/msg00015.html http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2015-0290.html http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA • CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption •
CVE-2014-3687 – kernel: net: sctp: fix panic on duplicate ASCONF chunks
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2014-3687
The sctp_assoc_lookup_asconf_ack function in net/sctp/associola.c in the SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via duplicate ASCONF chunks that trigger an incorrect uncork within the side-effect interpreter. La función sctp_assoc_lookup_asconf_ack en net/sctp/associola.c en la implementación SCTP en el kernel de Linux hasta 3.17.2 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (kernel panic) a través de trozos ASCONF duplicados que provocan una liberación incorrecta dentro del intérprete de efectos secundarios. A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) implementation handled duplicate Address Configuration Change Chunks (ASCONF). A remote attacker could use either of these flaws to crash the system. • http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git%3Ba=commit%3Bh=b69040d8e39f20d5215a03502a8e8b4c6ab78395 http://linux.oracle.com/errata/ELSA-2014-3087.html http://linux.oracle.com/errata/ELSA-2014-3088.html http://linux.oracle.com/errata/ELSA-2014-3089.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2015-01/msg00035.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2015-03/msg00010.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2015-03/msg00020.html • CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption •
CVE-2014-3601 – kernel: kvm: invalid parameter passing in kvm_iommu_map_pages()
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2014-3601
The kvm_iommu_map_pages function in virt/kvm/iommu.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16.1 miscalculates the number of pages during the handling of a mapping failure, which allows guest OS users to (1) cause a denial of service (host OS memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a large gfn value or (2) cause a denial of service (host OS memory consumption) by triggering a small gfn value that leads to permanently pinned pages. La función kvm_iommu_map_pages en virt/kvm/iommu.c en el kernel de Linux hasta 3.16.1 calcula erróneamente el número de las páginas durante el manejo de un fallo en las asignaciones, lo que permite a usuarios del sistema operativo invitado (1) causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de la memoria del sistema operativo anfitrión) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado mediante la provocación de un valor gfn grande o (2) causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de la memoria del sistema operativo anfitrión) mediante la provocación de un valor gfn pequeño que conduce a páginas fijadas (pinned) permanentemente. A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's kvm_iommu_map_pages() function handled IOMMU mapping failures. A privileged user in a guest with an assigned host device could use this flaw to crash the host. • http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git%3Ba=commit%3Bh=350b8bdd689cd2ab2c67c8a86a0be86cfa0751a7 http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2015-03/msg00010.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2015-03/msg00025.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2015-04/msg00015.html http://secunia.com/advisories/60830 http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/69489 http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/USN-2356-1 http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/USN-2357 • CWE-189: Numeric Errors •
CVE-2014-0181 – kernel: net: insufficient permision checks of netlink messages
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2014-0181
The Netlink implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.14.1 does not provide a mechanism for authorizing socket operations based on the opener of a socket, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and modify network configurations by using a Netlink socket for the (1) stdout or (2) stderr of a setuid program. La implementación Netlink en el kernel de Linux hasta 3.14.1 no proporciona un mecanismo para autorizar operaciones socket basadas en el abridor de un socket, lo que permite a usuarios locales evadir restricciones de acceso y modificar configuraciones de red mediante el uso de un socket Netlink para (1) stdout o (2) stderr de un programa setuid. It was found that the permission checks performed by the Linux kernel when a netlink message was received were not sufficient. A local, unprivileged user could potentially bypass these restrictions by passing a netlink socket as stdout or stderr to a more privileged process and altering the output of this process. • http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2015-03/msg00010.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2015-03/msg00025.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2015-04/msg00000.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2015-04/msg00015.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2015-04/msg00020.html http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=139828832919748&w=2 http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-1959.html http://www.open • CWE-264: Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls •
