Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.

1) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU11644

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 5.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-13672

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows an adjacent unauthenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists due to out-of-bounds read. An adjacent attacker can trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

Vulnerable software versions

SUSE Linux: 12

CPE2.3 External links

http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2017-12/msg00018.html


Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote authenticated user via the local network (LAN).

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

2) Out-of-bounds write

EUVDB-ID: #VU11790

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 5.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-15289

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows an adjacent authenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists in the mode4and5 write functions in hw/display/cirrus_vga.c due to out-of-bounds write. An adjacent attacker can trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash via vectors related to dst calculation.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

3) Privilege escalation

EUVDB-ID: #VU9449

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 6.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-15592

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to cause DoS conditions or gain elevated privileges on the target system.

The weakness exists due to mishandling of self-linear shadow mappings for translated guests. An adjacent attacker can supply self-linear shadow mappings and cause the hypervisor to crash or possibly gain elevated privileges.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the local network (LAN).

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

4) Resource exhaustion

EUVDB-ID: #VU9452

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 4.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-15595

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to gain elevated privileges or cause DoS conditions on the target system.

The weakness exists due to improper input validation. An adjacent attacker can supply specially crafted page-table stacking, trigger unbounded recursion, stack consumption, gain elevated privileges or cause hypervisor crash.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

5) Race condition

EUVDB-ID: #VU8923

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 2.1 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-15597

CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows an adjacent administrative attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists due to a race condition in certain grant copy operations. A local attacker can trigger a memory corruption error in the hypervisor and cause the application to crash.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
