TITLE

Linux kernel NFSv2 and NFSv3 Server security vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

The NFSv2 and NFSv3 server implementations in the Linux kernel through 4.10.13 lack certain checks for the end of a buffer, which allows remote attackers to trigger pointer-arithmetic errors or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted requests, related to fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c and fs/nfsd/nfsxdr.c. Linux Kernel is prone to multiple security-bypass vulnerabilities. Attackers can exploit these issues to bypass certain security restrictions and perform unauthorized actions. This may aid in further attacks. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Important: kernel security and bug fix update Advisory ID: RHSA-2017:1766-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017:1766 Issue date: 2017-07-18 CVE Names: CVE-2017-7895 ===================================================================== 1. Summary: An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 Extended Update Support. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux ComputeNode EUS (v. 7.2) - noarch, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ComputeNode Optional EUS (v. 7.2) - x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server EUS (v. 7.2) - noarch, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional EUS (v. 7.2) - ppc64, ppc64le, x86_64 3. (CVE-2017-7895, Important) Red Hat would like to thank Ari Kauppi for reporting this issue. Bug Fix(es): * Previously, a race condition between Linux kernel module error handling and kprobe registration code existed in the Linux kernel. The protection that was applied during module error handling code could be overridden by kprobe registration code before the module was deallocated. Consequently, the mapped page could be freed and become not 'writable'. When this page was later accessed, a page fault occurred, which led to a kernel panic. This update fixes the race condition, and the kernel no longer panics due to this bug. (BZ#1454683) * Due to a race with another NFS mount, the nfs41_walk_client_list() function previously established a lease on the nfs_client pointer before the check for trunking was finished. This update ensures the processes follow the correct order and the race no longer occurs in this scenario. (BZ#1447383) * If a duplicate IPv6 address or an issue setting an address was present in the net/ipv6/addrconf.c file, a race condition occurred that could cause an IFP refcount leak. Attempts to unregister a netdevice then produced "Unregister Netdevice Failed" error messages. The provided patch fixes this bug, and race conditions no longer occur in this situation. (BZ#1449103) * Previously, subtracting from vCPU threads could cause a steal_time overflow on QEMU live migration. This update makes sure steal_time accumulation to vCPU entry time is moved before copying steal_time data to QEMU guest, thus fixing this bug. (BZ#1274919) 4. Solution: For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect. 5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 1446103 - CVE-2017-7895 kernel: NFSv3 server does not properly handle payload bounds checking of WRITE requests 6.

(CVE-2017-7895, Important) * A stack buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the Bluetooth subsystem of the Linux kernel processed pending L2CAP configuration responses from a client. On systems with the stack protection feature enabled in the kernel (CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y, which is enabled on all architectures other than s390x and ppc64[le]), an unauthenticated attacker able to initiate a connection to a system via Bluetooth could use this flaw to crash the system. Due to the nature of the stack protection feature, code execution cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely. On systems without the stack protection feature (ppc64[le]; the Bluetooth modules are not built on s390x), an unauthenticated attacker able to initiate a connection to a system via Bluetooth could use this flaw to remotely execute arbitrary code on the system with ring 0 (kernel) privileges. Bug Fix(es): * Previously, while the MAP_GROWSDOWN flag was set, writing to the memory which was mapped with the mmap system call failed with the SIGBUS signal. This update fixes memory management in the Linux kernel by backporting an upstream patch that enlarges the stack guard page gap. As a result, mmap now works as expected under the described circumstances. (BZ#1474720) 4. CVE-2017-0605 A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the trace subsystem. CVE-2017-7487 Li Qiang reported a reference counter leak in the ipxitf_ioctl function which may result into a use-after-free vulnerability, triggerable when a IPX interface is configured. CVE-2017-7645 Tuomas Haanpaa and Matti Kamunen from Synopsys Ltd discovered that the NFSv2 and NFSv3 server implementations are vulnerable to an out-of-bounds memory access issue while processing arbitrarily long arguments sent by NFSv2/NFSv3 PRC clients, leading to a denial of service. A remote attacker with write access to a NFS mount can take advantage of this flaw to read chunks of arbitrary memory from both kernel-space and user-space. CVE-2017-8064 Arnd Bergmann found that the DVB-USB core misused the device logging system, resulting in a use-after-free vulnerability, with unknown security impact. CVE-2017-8925 Johan Hovold found a reference counter leak in the omninet USB serial driver, resulting in a use-after-free vulnerability. This can be triggered by a local user permitted to open tty devices. CVE-2017-9074 Andrey Konovalov reported that the IPv6 fragmentation implementation could read beyond the end of a packet buffer. CVE-2017-9075 Andrey Konovalov reported that the SCTP/IPv6 implementation wrongly initialised address lists on connected sockets, resulting in a use-after-free vulnerability, a similar issue to CVE-2017-8890. This can be triggered by any local user. CVE-2017-9076 / CVE-2017-9077 Cong Wang found that the TCP/IPv6 and DCCP/IPv6 implementations wrongly initialised address lists on connected sockets, a similar issue to CVE-2017-9075. CVE-2017-9242 Andrey Konovalov reported a packet buffer overrun in the IPv6 implementation. CVE-2017-1000364 The Qualys Research Labs discovered that the size of the stack guard page is not sufficiently large. The stack-pointer can jump over the guard-page and moving from the stack into another memory region without accessing the guard-page. In this case no page-fault exception is raised and the stack extends into the other memory region. An attacker can exploit this flaw for privilege escalation. The default stack gap protection is set to 256 pages and can be configured via the stack_guard_gap kernel parameter on the kernel command line. Further details can be found at https://www.qualys.com/2017/06/19/stack-clash/stack-clash.txt For the oldstable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 3.16.43-2+deb8u1. For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 4.9.30-2+deb9u1 or earlier versions before the stretch release. Bug Fix(es): * If a VFC port became unmapped in the VIOS, it sometimes did not respond with a CRQ init complete following the H_REG_CRQ() call. As a consequence, scsi_block_requests were called until the init complete occurred. If not, I/O requests were hung. The provided patch ensures the host action stays set to IBMVFC_HOST_ACTION_TGT_DEL so that all rports are moved into devloss state unless an init complete is received. (BZ#1460210) 4. Bug Fix(es): * When upgrading to kernel with the fix for stack guard flaw, a crash could occur in Java Virtual Machine (JVM) environments, which attempted to implement their own stack guard page. With this update, the underlying source code has been fixed to consider the PROT_NONE mapping as a part of the stack, and the crash in JVM no longer occurs under the described circumstances.
