CVE-2016-9588 – Kernel: kvm: nVMX: uncaught software exceptions in L1 guest leads to DoS
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2016-9588
arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9 mismanages the #BP and #OF exceptions, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) by declining to handle an exception thrown by an L2 guest. arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c en el kernek de Linux hasta la versión 4.9 no gestiona adecuadamente las excepciones #BP y #OF, lo que permite a usuarios del SO invitados provocar una denegación de servicio (caída del SO invitado) declinando el manejo de una excepción lanzada por un invitado L2. Linux kernel built with the KVM visualization support (CONFIG_KVM), with nested visualization(nVMX) feature enabled(nested=1), is vulnerable to an uncaught exception issue. It could occur if an L2 guest was to throw an exception which is not handled by an L1 guest. • http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=ef85b67385436ddc1998f45f1d6a210f935b3388 http://www.debian.org/security/2017/dsa-3804 http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2016/12/15/3 http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/94933 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017:1842 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017:2077 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1404924 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/ef85b67385436ddc1998f45f1d6a210f935b3388 https:/ • CWE-248: Uncaught Exception CWE-388: 7PK - Errors •

CVE-2016-6213 – kernel: Overflowing kernel mount table using shared bind mount
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2016-6213
fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9 does not restrict how many mounts may exist in a mount namespace, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and deadlock) via MS_BIND mount system calls, as demonstrated by a loop that triggers exponential growth in the number of mounts. fs/namespace.c en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.9 no restringe la cantidad de montajes que pueden existir en un espacio de nombre del montaje, lo que permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (consumo de memoria y punto muerto) a través de llamadas al sistema de montaje MS_BIND, según lo demostrado por un bucle que desencadena un crecimiento exponencial en el número de montajes. It was found that in Linux kernel the mount table expands by a power-of-two with each bind mount command. If a system is configured to allow non-privileged user to do bind mounts, or allows to do so in a container or unprivileged mount namespace, then non-privileged user is able to cause a local DoS by overflowing the mount table, which causes a deadlock for the whole system. • http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=d29216842a85c7970c536108e093963f02714498 http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2016/07/13/8 http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/91754 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017:1842 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017:2077 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1356471 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/d29216842a85c7970c536108e093963f02714498 https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2016-6213 • CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption CWE-770: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling •
