Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.

1) Memory corruption

EUVDB-ID: #VU10611

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-17563

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to gain elevated privileges or cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on a targeted host system.

The weakness exists due to insufficient reference count overflow checking. An adjacent attacker can use a mask that is larger than the reference count that is set on a targeted system, trigger memory corruption and cause the hypervisor to crash or gain elevated privileges.

Mitigation

Update the affected package to version: 4.8.3+comet2+shim4.10.0+comet3-1+deb9u4.1

Vulnerable software versions

Debian Linux: All versions

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.

2) Denial of service

EUVDB-ID: #VU10616

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-17564

CWE-ID: CWE-388 - Error Handling

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to cause DoS condition or gain elevated privileges.

The weakness exists due to improper error handling for reference counts. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption, cause the hypervisor to crash or gain elevated privileges on the target system.

Mitigation

Update the affected package to version: 4.8.3+comet2+shim4.10.0+comet3-1+deb9u4.1

3) Denial of service

EUVDB-ID: #VU10614

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 6.4 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-17565

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

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The weakness exists due to improper assertion related to machine-to-physical (M2P) translation table entries. A remote attacker can cause the system to crash.

Mitigation

Update the affected package to version: 4.8.3+comet2+shim4.10.0+comet3-1+deb9u4.1
