The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2019-2029 advisory.

  - arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c in the Linux kernel before 4.18.1 mishandles certain indirect calls, which     makes it easier for attackers to conduct Spectre-v2 attacks against paravirtual guests. (CVE-2018-15594)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.18.6. An information leak in cdrom_ioctl_drive_status     in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c could be used by local attackers to read kernel memory because a cast from     unsigned long to int interferes with bounds checking. This is similar to CVE-2018-10940. (CVE-2018-16658)

  - drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.11 allows ucma_leave_multicast to access a     certain data structure after a cleanup step in ucma_process_join, which allows attackers to cause a denial     of service (use-after-free). (CVE-2018-14734)

  - An issue was discovered in the fd_locked_ioctl function in drivers/block/floppy.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.15.7. The floppy driver will copy a kernel pointer to user memory in response to the FDGETPRM     ioctl. An attacker can send the FDGETPRM ioctl and use the obtained kernel pointer to discover the     location of kernel code and data and bypass kernel security protections such as KASLR. (CVE-2018-7755)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr_leaf.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3. An OOPS may     occur for a corrupted xfs image after xfs_da_shrink_inode() is called with a NULL bp. (CVE-2018-13094)

  - In the hidp_process_report in bluetooth, there is an integer overflow. This could lead to an out of bounds     write with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
    Product: Android Versions: Android kernel Android ID: A-65853588 References: Upstream kernel.
    (CVE-2018-9363)

  - In hid_debug_events_read of drivers/hid/hid-debug.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a     missing bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges     needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Product: Android Versions: Android kernel Android     ID: A-71361580. (CVE-2018-9516)

  - The mincore() implementation in mm/mincore.c in the Linux kernel through 4.19.13 allowed local attackers     to observe page cache access patterns of other processes on the same system, potentially allowing sniffing     of secret information. (Fixing this affects the output of the fincore program.) Limited remote     exploitation may be possible, as demonstrated by latency differences in accessing public files from an     Apache HTTP Server. (CVE-2019-5489)

  - The alarm_timer_nsleep function in kernel/time/alarmtimer.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3 has an     integer overflow via a large relative timeout because ktime_add_safe is not used. (CVE-2018-13053)

  - The KVM implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.20.5 has an Information Leak. (CVE-2019-7222)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.7. A NULL pointer dereference can occur when     megasas_create_frame_pool() fails in megasas_alloc_cmds() in drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c.
    This causes a Denial of Service, related to a use-after-free. (CVE-2019-11810)

  - A heap address information leak while using L2CAP_GET_CONF_OPT was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.1-rc1. (CVE-2019-3459)

  - fs/ext4/extents.c in the Linux kernel through 5.1.2 does not zero out the unused memory region in the     extent tree block, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by reading uninitialized     data in the filesystem. (CVE-2019-11833)

  - Memory leak in the hwsim_new_radio_nl function in drivers/net/wireless/mac80211_hwsim.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.15.9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering     an out-of-array error case. (CVE-2018-8087)

  - In pppol2tp_connect, there is possible memory corruption due to a use after free. This could lead to local     escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation. Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID: A-38159931. (CVE-2018-9517)

  - A flaw was found in the way Linux kernel KVM hypervisor before 4.18 emulated instructions such as     sgdt/sidt/fxsave/fxrstor. It did not check current privilege(CPL) level while emulating unprivileged     instructions. An unprivileged guest user/process could use this flaw to potentially escalate privileges     inside guest. (CVE-2018-10853)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/xfs/xfs_icache.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3. There is a NULL pointer     dereference and panic in lookup_slow() on a NULL inode->i_ops pointer when doing pathwalks on a corrupted     xfs image. This occurs because of a lack of proper validation that cached inodes are free during     allocation. (CVE-2018-13093)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_inode_buf.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3. A denial of     service (memory corruption and BUG) can occur for a corrupted xfs image upon encountering an inode that is     in extent format, but has more extents than fit in the inode fork. (CVE-2018-13095)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel where an attacker may be able to have an uncontrolled read to kernel-     memory from within a vm guest. A race condition between connect() and close() function may allow an     attacker using the AF_VSOCK protocol to gather a 4 byte information leak or possibly intercept or corrupt     AF_VSOCK messages destined to other clients. (CVE-2018-14625)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel that allows the userspace to call memcpy_fromiovecend() and similar     functions with a zero offset and buffer length which causes the read beyond the buffer boundaries, in     certain cases causing a memory access fault and a system halt by accessing invalid memory address. This     issue only affects kernel version 3.10.x as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. (CVE-2018-16885)

  - Since Linux kernel version 3.2, the mremap() syscall performs TLB flushes after dropping pagetable locks.
    If a syscall such as ftruncate() removes entries from the pagetables of a task that is in the middle of     mremap(), a stale TLB entry can remain for a short time that permits access to a physical page after it     has been released back to the page allocator and reused. This is fixed in the following kernel versions:
    4.9.135, 4.14.78, 4.18.16, 4.19. (CVE-2018-18281)

  - A heap data infoleak in multiple locations including L2CAP_PARSE_CONF_RSP was found in the Linux kernel     before 5.1-rc1. (CVE-2019-3460)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's vfio interface implementation that permits violation of the user's     locked memory limit. If a device is bound to a vfio driver, such as vfio-pci, and the local attacker is     administratively granted ownership of the device, it may cause a system memory exhaustion and thus a     denial of service (DoS). Versions 3.10, 4.14 and 4.18 are vulnerable. (CVE-2019-3882)

  - An infinite loop issue was found in the vhost_net kernel module in Linux Kernel up to and including     v5.1-rc6, while handling incoming packets in handle_rx(). It could occur if one end sends packets faster     than the other end can process them. A guest user, maybe remote one, could use this flaw to stall the     vhost_net kernel thread, resulting in a DoS scenario. (CVE-2019-3900)

  - The coredump implementation in the Linux kernel before 5.0.10 does not use locking or other mechanisms to     prevent vma layout or vma flags changes while it runs, which allows local users to obtain sensitive     information, cause a denial of service, or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a race     condition with mmget_not_zero or get_task_mm calls. This is related to fs/userfaultfd.c, mm/mmap.c,     fs/proc/task_mmu.c, and drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c. (CVE-2019-11599)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3777-1 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in the way Linux kernel KVM hypervisor before 4.18 emulated instructions such as     sgdt/sidt/fxsave/fxrstor. It did not check current privilege(CPL) level while emulating unprivileged     instructions. An unprivileged guest user/process could use this flaw to potentially escalate privileges     inside guest. (CVE-2018-10853)

  - A security flaw was found in the chap_server_compute_md5() function in the ISCSI target code in the Linux     kernel in a way an authentication request from an ISCSI initiator is processed. An unauthenticated remote     attacker can cause a stack buffer overflow and smash up to 17 bytes of the stack. The attack requires the     iSCSI target to be enabled on the victim host. Depending on how the target's code was built (i.e.
    depending on a compiler, compile flags and hardware architecture) an attack may lead to a system crash and     thus to a denial-of-service or possibly to a non-authorized access to data exported by an iSCSI target.
    Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is     highly unlikely. Kernel versions 4.18.x, 4.14.x and 3.10.x are believed to be vulnerable. (CVE-2018-14633)

  - The spectre_v2_select_mitigation function in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c in the Linux kernel before 4.18.1     does not always fill RSB upon a context switch, which makes it easier for attackers to conduct userspace-     userspace spectreRSB attacks. (CVE-2018-15572)

  - arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c in the Linux kernel before 4.18.1 mishandles certain indirect calls, which     makes it easier for attackers to conduct Spectre-v2 attacks against paravirtual guests. (CVE-2018-15594)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.18.8. The vmacache_flush_all function in     mm/vmacache.c mishandles sequence number overflows. An attacker can trigger a use-after-free (and possibly     gain privileges) via certain thread creation, map, unmap, invalidation, and dereference operations.
    (CVE-2018-17182)

  - Memory leak in the irda_bind function in net/irda/af_irda.c and later in     drivers/staging/irda/net/af_irda.c in the Linux kernel before 4.17 allows local users to cause a denial of     service (memory consumption) by repeatedly binding an AF_IRDA socket. (CVE-2018-6554)

  - The irda_setsockopt function in net/irda/af_irda.c and later in drivers/staging/irda/net/af_irda.c in the     Linux kernel before 4.17 allows local users to cause a denial of service (ias_object use-after-free and     system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an AF_IRDA socket. (CVE-2018-6555)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2018-15572: The spectre_v2_select_mitigation     function in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c did not always     fill RSB upon a context switch, which made it easier for     attackers to conduct userspace-userspace spectreRSB     attacks (bnc#1102517 bnc#1105296).

  - CVE-2018-10902: It was found that the raw midi kernel     driver did not protect against concurrent access which     leads to a double realloc (double free) in     snd_rawmidi_input_params() and     snd_rawmidi_output_status() which are part of     snd_rawmidi_ioctl() handler in rawmidi.c file. A     malicious local attacker could possibly use this for     privilege escalation (bnc#1105322).

  - CVE-2018-9363: A buffer overflow in bluetooth HID report     processing could be used by malicious bluetooth devices     to crash the kernel or potentially execute code     (bnc#1105292).

  - CVE-2018-10853: A KVM guest userspace to guest kernel     write was fixed, which could be used by guest users to     crash the guest kernel (bnc#1097104).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A flaw was found in the way Linux kernel KVM hypervisor     before 4.18 emulated instructions such as     sgdt/sidt/fxsave/fxrstor. It did not check current     privilege(CPL) level while emulating unprivileged     instructions. An unprivileged guest user/process could     use this flaw to potentially escalate privileges inside     guest. (CVE-2018-10853)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel where an attacker     may be able to have an uncontrolled read to kernel-     memory from within a vm guest. A race condition between     connect() and close() function may allow an attacker     using the AF_VSOCK protocol to gather a 4 byte     information leak or possibly intercept or corrupt     AF_VSOCK messages destined to other clients.
    (CVE-2018-14625)

  - drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.17.11 allows ucma_leave_multicast to access a     certain data structure after a cleanup step in     ucma_process_join, which allows attackers to cause a     denial of service (use-after-free). (CVE-2018-14734)

  - arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c in the Linux kernel before     4.18.1 mishandles certain indirect calls, which makes it     easier for attackers to conduct Spectre-v2 attacks     against paravirtual guests. (CVE-2018-15594)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFS     implementation, all versions 3.x and all versions 4.x up     to 4.20. An attacker, who is able to mount an exported     NFS filesystem, is able to trigger a null pointer     dereference by using an invalid NFS sequence. This can     panic the machine and deny access to the NFS server. Any     outstanding disk writes to the NFS server will be lost.
    (CVE-2018-16871)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFS41+ subsystem.
    NFS41+ shares mounted in different network namespaces at     the same time can make bc_svc_process() use wrong back-     channel IDs and cause a use-after-free vulnerability.
    Thus a malicious container user can cause a host kernel     memory corruption and a system panic. Due to the nature     of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled     out. (CVE-2018-16884)

  - Since Linux kernel version 3.2, the mremap() syscall     performs TLB flushes after dropping pagetable locks. If     a syscall such as ftruncate() removes entries from the     pagetables of a task that is in the middle of mremap(),     a stale TLB entry can remain for a short time that     permits access to a physical page after it has been     released back to the page allocator and reused. This is     fixed in the following kernel versions: 4.9.135,     4.14.78, 4.18.16, 4.19. (CVE-2018-18281)

  - In the hidp_process_report in bluetooth, there is an     integer overflow. This could lead to an out of bounds     write with no additional execution privileges needed.
    User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
    Product: Android Versions: Android kernel Android ID:
    A-65853588 References: Upstream kernel. (CVE-2018-9363)

  - In pppol2tp_connect, there is possible memory corruption     due to a use after free. This could lead to local     escalation of privilege with System execution privileges     needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
    Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID:
    A-38159931. (CVE-2018-9517)

  - Insufficient input validation in Kernel Mode Driver in     Intel(R) i915 Graphics for Linux before version 5.0 may     allow an authenticated user to potentially enable     escalation of privilege via local access.
    (CVE-2019-11085)

  - The coredump implementation in the Linux kernel before     5.0.10 does not use locking or other mechanisms to     prevent vma layout or vma flags changes while it runs,     which allows local users to obtain sensitive     information, cause a denial of service, or possibly have     unspecified other impact by triggering a race condition     with mmget_not_zero or get_task_mm calls. This is     related to fs/userfaultfd.c, mm/mmap.c,     fs/proc/task_mmu.c, and     drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c. (CVE-2019-11599)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.0.7. A NULL pointer dereference can occur when     megasas_create_frame_pool() fails in     megasas_alloc_cmds() in     drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c. This causes a     Denial of Service, related to a use-after-free.
    (CVE-2019-11810)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.0.4. There is a use-after-free upon attempted read     access to /proc/ioports after the ipmi_si module is     removed, related to drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c,     drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_mem_io.c, and     drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_port_io.c. (CVE-2019-11811)

  - fs/ext4/extents.c in the Linux kernel through 5.1.2 does     not zero out the unused memory region in the extent tree     block, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive     information by reading uninitialized data in the     filesystem. (CVE-2019-11833)

  - A heap address information leak while using     L2CAP_GET_CONF_OPT was discovered in the Linux kernel     before 5.1-rc1. (CVE-2019-3459)

  - A heap data infoleak in multiple locations including     L2CAP_PARSE_CONF_RSP was found in the Linux kernel     before 5.1-rc1. (CVE-2019-3460)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's vfio interface     implementation that permits violation of the user's     locked memory limit. If a device is bound to a vfio     driver, such as vfio-pci, and the local attacker is     administratively granted ownership of the device, it may     cause a system memory exhaustion and thus a denial of     service (DoS). Versions 3.10, 4.14 and 4.18 are     vulnerable. (CVE-2019-3882)

  - An infinite loop issue was found in the vhost_net kernel     module in Linux Kernel up to and including v5.1-rc6,     while handling incoming packets in handle_rx(). It could     occur if one end sends packets faster than the other end     can process them. A guest user, maybe remote one, could     use this flaw to stall the vhost_net kernel thread,     resulting in a DoS scenario. (CVE-2019-3900)

  - The mincore() implementation in mm/mincore.c in the     Linux kernel through 4.19.13 allowed local attackers to     observe page cache access patterns of other processes on     the same system, potentially allowing sniffing of secret     information. (Fixing this affects the output of the     fincore program.) Limited remote exploitation may be     possible, as demonstrated by latency differences in     accessing public files from an Apache HTTP Server.
    (CVE-2019-5489)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has kernel-rt packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A flaw was found in the way Linux kernel KVM hypervisor     before 4.18 emulated instructions such as     sgdt/sidt/fxsave/fxrstor. It did not check current     privilege(CPL) level while emulating unprivileged     instructions. An unprivileged guest user/process could     use this flaw to potentially escalate privileges inside     guest. (CVE-2018-10853)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel where an attacker     may be able to have an uncontrolled read to kernel-     memory from within a vm guest. A race condition between     connect() and close() function may allow an attacker     using the AF_VSOCK protocol to gather a 4 byte     information leak or possibly intercept or corrupt     AF_VSOCK messages destined to other clients.
    (CVE-2018-14625)

  - drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.17.11 allows ucma_leave_multicast to access a     certain data structure after a cleanup step in     ucma_process_join, which allows attackers to cause a     denial of service (use-after-free). (CVE-2018-14734)

  - arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c in the Linux kernel before     4.18.1 mishandles certain indirect calls, which makes it     easier for attackers to conduct Spectre-v2 attacks     against paravirtual guests. (CVE-2018-15594)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFS     implementation, all versions 3.x and all versions 4.x up     to 4.20. An attacker, who is able to mount an exported     NFS filesystem, is able to trigger a null pointer     dereference by using an invalid NFS sequence. This can     panic the machine and deny access to the NFS server. Any     outstanding disk writes to the NFS server will be lost.
    (CVE-2018-16871)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFS41+ subsystem.
    NFS41+ shares mounted in different network namespaces at     the same time can make bc_svc_process() use wrong back-     channel IDs and cause a use-after-free vulnerability.
    Thus a malicious container user can cause a host kernel     memory corruption and a system panic. Due to the nature     of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled     out. (CVE-2018-16884)

  - Since Linux kernel version 3.2, the mremap() syscall     performs TLB flushes after dropping pagetable locks. If     a syscall such as ftruncate() removes entries from the     pagetables of a task that is in the middle of mremap(),     a stale TLB entry can remain for a short time that     permits access to a physical page after it has been     released back to the page allocator and reused. This is     fixed in the following kernel versions: 4.9.135,     4.14.78, 4.18.16, 4.19. (CVE-2018-18281)

  - In the hidp_process_report in bluetooth, there is an     integer overflow. This could lead to an out of bounds     write with no additional execution privileges needed.
    User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
    Product: Android Versions: Android kernel Android ID:
    A-65853588 References: Upstream kernel. (CVE-2018-9363)

  - In pppol2tp_connect, there is possible memory corruption     due to a use after free. This could lead to local     escalation of privilege with System execution privileges     needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
    Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID:
    A-38159931. (CVE-2018-9517)

  - Insufficient input validation in Kernel Mode Driver in     Intel(R) i915 Graphics for Linux before version 5.0 may     allow an authenticated user to potentially enable     escalation of privilege via local access.
    (CVE-2019-11085)

  - The coredump implementation in the Linux kernel before     5.0.10 does not use locking or other mechanisms to     prevent vma layout or vma flags changes while it runs,     which allows local users to obtain sensitive     information, cause a denial of service, or possibly have     unspecified other impact by triggering a race condition     with mmget_not_zero or get_task_mm calls. This is     related to fs/userfaultfd.c, mm/mmap.c,     fs/proc/task_mmu.c, and     drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c. (CVE-2019-11599)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.0.7. A NULL pointer dereference can occur when     megasas_create_frame_pool() fails in     megasas_alloc_cmds() in     drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c. This causes a     Denial of Service, related to a use-after-free.
    (CVE-2019-11810)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.0.4. There is a use-after-free upon attempted read     access to /proc/ioports after the ipmi_si module is     removed, related to drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c,     drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_mem_io.c, and     drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_port_io.c. (CVE-2019-11811)

  - fs/ext4/extents.c in the Linux kernel through 5.1.2 does     not zero out the unused memory region in the extent tree     block, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive     information by reading uninitialized data in the     filesystem. (CVE-2019-11833)

  - A heap address information leak while using     L2CAP_GET_CONF_OPT was discovered in the Linux kernel     before 5.1-rc1. (CVE-2019-3459)

  - A heap data infoleak in multiple locations including     L2CAP_PARSE_CONF_RSP was found in the Linux kernel     before 5.1-rc1. (CVE-2019-3460)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's vfio interface     implementation that permits violation of the user's     locked memory limit. If a device is bound to a vfio     driver, such as vfio-pci, and the local attacker is     administratively granted ownership of the device, it may     cause a system memory exhaustion and thus a denial of     service (DoS). Versions 3.10, 4.14 and 4.18 are     vulnerable. (CVE-2019-3882)

  - An infinite loop issue was found in the vhost_net kernel     module in Linux Kernel up to and including v5.1-rc6,     while handling incoming packets in handle_rx(). It could     occur if one end sends packets faster than the other end     can process them. A guest user, maybe remote one, could     use this flaw to stall the vhost_net kernel thread,     resulting in a DoS scenario. (CVE-2019-3900)

  - The mincore() implementation in mm/mincore.c in the     Linux kernel through 4.19.13 allowed local attackers to     observe page cache access patterns of other processes on     the same system, potentially allowing sniffing of secret     information. (Fixing this affects the output of the     fincore program.) Limited remote exploitation may be     possible, as demonstrated by latency differences in     accessing public files from an Apache HTTP Server.

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     4.18.7. In block/blk-core.c, there is an
    __blk_drain_queue() use-after-free because a certain     error case is mishandled. (CVE-2018-20856)

  - In the hidp_process_report in bluetooth, there is an     integer overflow. This could lead to an out of bounds     write with no additional execution privileges needed.
    User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
    Product: Android Versions: Android kernel Android ID:

    Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID:
    A-38159931. (CVE-2018-9517)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A heap based     buffer overflow in mwifiex_uap_parse_tail_ies function     in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/ie.c might lead     to memory corruption and possibly other consequences.
    (CVE-2019-10126)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     certain central processing units (CPU) speculatively     access memory, aka 'Windows Kernel Information     Disclosure Vulnerability'. This CVE ID is unique from     CVE-2019-1071, CVE-2019-1073. (CVE-2019-1125)

  - The coredump implementation in the Linux kernel before     5.0.10 does not use locking or other mechanisms to     prevent vma layout or vma flags changes while it runs,     which allows local users to obtain sensitive     information, cause a denial of service, or possibly have     unspecified other impact by triggering a race condition     with mmget_not_zero or get_task_mm calls.

  - 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. (CVE-2019-14821)

  - 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. (CVE-2019-14835)

  - A heap address information leak while using     L2CAP_GET_CONF_OPT was discovered in the Linux kernel     before 5.1-rc1. (CVE-2019-3459)

  - A heap data infoleak in multiple locations including     L2CAP_PARSE_CONF_RSP was found in the Linux kernel     before 5.1-rc1. (CVE-2019-3460)

  - A flaw that allowed an attacker to corrupt memory and     possibly escalate privileges was found in the mwifiex     kernel module while connecting to a malicious wireless     network. (CVE-2019-3846)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's vfio interface     implementation that permits violation of the user's     locked memory limit. If a device is bound to a vfio     driver, such as vfio-pci, and the local attacker is     administratively granted ownership of the device, it may     cause a system memory exhaustion and thus a denial of     service (DoS). Versions 3.10, 4.14 and 4.18 are     vulnerable. (CVE-2019-3882)

Limited remote exploitation may be     possible, as demonstrated by latency differences in     accessing public files from an Apache HTTP Server.
    (CVE-2019-5489)

  - The Bluetooth BR/EDR specification up to and including     version 5.1 permits sufficiently low encryption key     length and does not prevent an attacker from influencing     the key length negotiation. This allows practical brute-     force attacks (aka KNOB) that can decrypt traffic and     inject arbitrary ciphertext without the victim noticing.
