CVSS V2: 9.3 CVSS V3: 7.8 Severity: HIGH |
An Unsafe Search Path vulnerability in FortiClient Online Installer (Windows version before 6.0.6) may allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker with control over the directory in which FortiClientOnlineInstaller.exe resides to execute arbitrary code on the system via uploading malicious .dll files in that directory. FortiClient Online Installer Contains an unreliable search path vulnerability.Information is obtained, information is altered, and service operation is disrupted (DoS) There is a possibility of being put into a state. Fortinet FortiClient is prone to a arbitrary code-execution vulnerability.
A remote attacker can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial of service condition.
Versions prior to FortiClient 6.0.6 are vulnerable. Fortinet FortiClient is a mobile terminal security solution developed by Fortinet. The solution provides IPsec and SSL encryption, WAN optimization, endpoint compliance, and two-factor authentication when connected to FortiGate firewall appliances. FortiClient Online Installer is an online installer for FortiClient. A code issue vulnerability exists in the FortiClient Online Installer in Fortinet FortiClient versions prior to 6.0.6 (Windows). This vulnerability stems from improper design or implementation problems in the code development process of network systems or products

Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Important: qemu-kvm-rhev security, bug fix, and enhancement update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2019:2553-01
Product: Red Hat Virtualization
Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2019:2553
Issue date: 2019-08-22
CVE Names: CVE-2018-12126 CVE-2018-12127 CVE-2018-12130

=====================================================================
1. Summary:
An update for qemu-kvm-rhev is now available for Red Hat Virtualization 4
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and Red Hat Virtualization Engine 4.3.
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. Relevant releases/architectures:
RHV-M 4.3 - x86_64
Red Hat Virtualization 4 Management Agent for RHEL 7 Hosts - ppc64le, x86_64
3. Description:
KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for
Linux on a variety of architectures. The qemu-kvm-rhev packages provide the
user-space component for running virtual machines that use KVM in
environments managed by Red Hat products.
Security Fix(es):
* A flaw was found in the implementation of the "fill buffer", a mechanism
used by modern CPUs when a cache-miss is made on L1 CPU cache. If an
attacker can generate a load operation that would create a page fault, the
execution will continue speculatively with incorrect data from the fill
buffer while the data is fetched from higher level caches. This response
time can be measured to infer data in the fill buffer. (CVE-2018-12130)
* Modern Intel microprocessors implement hardware-level micro-optimizations
to improve the performance of writing data back to CPU caches. The write
operation is split into STA (STore Address) and STD (STore Data)
sub-operations. These sub-operations allow the processor to hand-off
address generation logic into these sub-operations for optimized writes.
Both of these sub-operations write to a shared distributed processor
structure called the 'processor store buffer'. As a result, an unprivileged
attacker could use this flaw to read private data resident within the CPU's
processor store buffer. (CVE-2018-12126)
* Microprocessors use a ‘load port’ subcomponent to perform load operations
from memory or IO. During a load operation, the load port receives data
from the memory or IO subsystem and then provides the data to the CPU
registers and operations in the CPU’s pipelines. Stale load operations
results are stored in the 'load port' table until overwritten by newer
operations. Certain load-port operations triggered by an attacker can be
used to reveal data about previous stale requests leaking data back to the
attacker via a timing side-channel. (CVE-2019-11091)
* QEMU: device_tree: heap buffer overflow while loading device tree blob
(CVE-2018-20815)
* QEMU: rtl8139: integer overflow leads to buffer overflow (CVE-2018-17958)
* QEMU: net: ignore packets with large size (CVE-2018-17963)
* QEMU: scsi-generic: possible OOB access while handling inquiry request
(CVE-2019-6501)
* QEMU: slirp: information leakage in tcp_emu() due to uninitialized stack
variables (CVE-2019-9824)

FreeBSD-SA-19:26.mcu Security Advisory
The FreeBSD Project
Topic: Intel CPU Microcode Update
Category: 3rd party
Module: Intel CPU microcode
Announced: 2019-11-12
Credits: Intel
Affects: All supported versions of FreeBSD running on certain
Intel CPUs.
CVE Name: CVE-2019-11135, CVE-2019-11139, CVE-2018-12126,
CVE-2018-12127, CVE-2018-12130, CVE-2018-11091,
CVE-2017-5715
For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,
including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the
following sections, please visit <URL:https://security.FreeBSD.org/>.
I. Background
- From time to time Intel releases new CPU microcode to address functional
issues and security vulnerabilities. Such a release is also known as a
Micro Code Update (MCU), and is a component of a broader Intel Platform
Update (IPU). FreeBSD distributes CPU microcode via the devcpu-data port
and package.
II. Problem Description
Starting with version 1.26, the devcpu-data port/package includes updates and
mitigations for the following technical and security advisories (depending
on CPU model).
Intel TSX Updates (TAA) CVE-2019-11135
Voltage Modulation Vulnerability CVE-2019-11139
MD_CLEAR Operations CVE-2018-12126
CVE-2018-12127
CVE-2018-12130
CVE-2018-11091
TA Indirect Sharing CVE-2017-5715
EGETKEY CVE-2018-12126
CVE-2018-12127
CVE-2018-12130
CVE-2018-11091
JCC SKX102 Erratum
Updated microcode includes mitigations for CPU issues, but may also cause a
performance regression due to the JCC erratum mitigation. Please visit
http://www.intel.com/benchmarks for further information.
Please visit http://www.intel.com/security for detailed information on
these advisories as well as a list of CPUs that are affected.
III. Impact
Operating a CPU without the latest microcode may result in erratic or
unpredictable behavior, including system crashes and lock ups. Certain
issues listed in this advisory may result in the leakage of privileged
system information to unprivileged users. Please refer to the security
advisories listed above for detailed information.
IV. Workaround
To determine if TSX is present in your system, run the following:
1. kldload cpuctl
2. cpucontrol -i 7 /dev/cpuctl0
If bits 4 (0x10) and 11 (0x800) are set in the second response word (EBX),
TSX is present.
In the absence of updated microcode, TAA can be mitigated by enabling the
MDS mitigation:
3. sysctl hw.mds_disable=1
Systems must be running FreeBSD 11.3, FreeBSD 12.1, or later for this to
work.
*IMPORTANT*
If your use case can tolerate leaving the CPU issues unmitigated and cannot
tolerate a performance regression, ensure that the devcpu-data package is
not installed or is locked at 1.25 or earlier.
# pkg delete devcpu-data
or
# pkg lock devcpu-data
Later versions of the LLVM and GCC compilers will include changes that
partially relieve the peformance impact.
V. Solution
Install the latest Intel Microcode Update via the devcpu-data port/package,
version 1.26 or later.
Updated microcode adds the ability to disable TSX. With updated microcode
the issue can still be mitigated by enabling the MDS mitigation as
described in the workaround section, or by disabling TSX instead:
1. kldload cpuctl
2. cpucontrol -i 7 /dev/cpuctl0
If bit 29 (0x20000000) is set in the fourth response word (EDX), then the
0x10a MSR is present.
3. cpucontrol -m 0x10a /dev/cpuctl0
If bit 8 (0x100) of the response word is set, your CPU is not vulnerable to
TAA and no further action is required.
If bit 7 (0x80) is cleared, then your CPU does not have updated microcode
that facilitates TSX to be disabled. The only remedy available is to
enable the MDS mitigation, as documented above.
4. cpucontrol -m 0x122=3 /dev/cpuctl0
Repeat step 4 for each numbered CPU that is present.
A future kernel change to FreeBSD will provide automatic detection and
mitigation for TAA.
LLVM 9.0 will be updated in FreeBSD 13-current to address the JCC
peformance impact. Updates to prior versions of LLVM are currently being
evaluated.
VI. Correction details
There are currently no changes in FreeBSD to address this issue.
