CVE-2019-14821 – Kernel: KVM: OOB memory access via mmio ring buffer
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2019-14821
An out-of-bounds access issue was found in the Linux kernel, all versions through 5.3, in the way Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor implements the Coalesced MMIO write operation. It operates on an MMIO ring buffer 'struct kvm_coalesced_mmio' object, wherein write indices 'ring->first' and 'ring->last' value could be supplied by a host user-space process. An unprivileged host user or process with access to '/dev/kvm' device could use this flaw to crash the host kernel, resulting in a denial of service or potentially escalating privileges on the system. Se encontró un problema de acceso fuera de límites en el kernel de Linux, todas las versiones hasta 5.3, en la manera en que el hipervisor KVM del kernel de Linux implementa la operación de escritura MMIO Coalesced. Opera en un objeto MMIO ring buffer "struct kvm_coalesced_mmio", en donde los índices de escritura "ring-)first" y "ring-)last" podrían ser suministrados por un proceso de espacio de usuario del host. • http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2019-10/msg00036.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2019-10/msg00037.html http://packetstormsecurity.com/files/154951/Kernel-Live-Patch-Security-Notice-LSN-0058-1.html http://packetstormsecurity.com/files/155212/Slackware-Security-Advisory-Slackware-14.2-kernel-Updates.html http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2019/09/20/1 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2019:3309 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2019:3517 • CWE-787: Out-of-bounds Write •
CVE-2019-14835 – kernel: vhost-net: guest to host kernel escape during migration
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2019-14835
A buffer overflow flaw was found, in versions from 2.6.34 to 5.2.x, in the way Linux kernel's vhost functionality that translates virtqueue buffers to IOVs, logged the buffer descriptors during migration. A privileged guest user able to pass descriptors with invalid length to the host when migration is underway, could use this flaw to increase their privileges on the host. Se encontró un fallo de desbordamiento de búfer, en las versiones desde 2.6.34 hasta 5.2.x, en la manera en que la funcionalidad vhost del kernel de Linux que traduce los búferes virtueue en IOV, registraba los descriptores del búfer durante una migración. Un usuario invitado privilegiado capaz de pasar descriptores con una longitud no válida hacia el host cuando la migración está en marcha, podría usar este fallo para aumentar sus privilegios sobre el host. A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's vhost functionality that translates virtqueue buffers to IOVs, logged the buffer descriptors during migration. • http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2019-09/msg00064.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2019-09/msg00066.html http://packetstormsecurity.com/files/154572/Kernel-Live-Patch-Security-Notice-LSN-0056-1.html http://packetstormsecurity.com/files/154951/Kernel-Live-Patch-Security-Notice-LSN-0058-1.html http://packetstormsecurity.com/files/155212/Slackware-Security-Advisory-Slackware-14.2-kernel-Updates.html http://www.huawei.com/en/psirt/security-advisories/huawei-sa-20200115-01- • CWE-120: Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow') •
CVE-2019-15031 – kernel: powerpc: local user can read vector registers of other users' processes via an interrupt
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2019-15031
In the Linux kernel through 5.2.14 on the powerpc platform, a local user can read vector registers of other users' processes via an interrupt. To exploit the venerability, a local user starts a transaction (via the hardware transactional memory instruction tbegin) and then accesses vector registers. At some point, the vector registers will be corrupted with the values from a different local Linux process, because MSR_TM_ACTIVE is misused in arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c. En el kernel de Linux versiones hasta 5.2.14 en la plataforma powerpc, un usuario local puede leer los registros vectoriales de los procesos de otros usuarios por medio de una interrupción. Para explotar la venerabilidad, un usuario local inicia una transacción (por medio de la instrucción de memoria transaccional de hardware tbegin) y luego accede a los registros vectoriales. • http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2019-09/msg00064.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2019-09/msg00066.html http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2019/09/10/4 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=a8318c13e79badb92bc6640704a64cc022a6eb97 https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20191004-0001 https://usn.ubuntu.com/4135-1 https://usn.ubuntu.com/4135-2 https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2019 • CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor CWE-662: Improper Synchronization •
CVE-2019-15030 – kernel: powerpc: local user can read vector registers of other users' processes via a Facility Unavailable exception

To exploit the venerability, a local user starts a transaction (via the hardware transactional memory instruction tbegin) and then accesses vector registers.
