Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Improper access control
EUVDB-ID: #VU15174
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 4.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-17972
CWE-ID:
CWE-284 - Improper Access Control
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists within the proc_pid_stack() function in fs/proc/base.c due to the Linux kernel does not ensure that only root may inspect the kernel stack of an arbitrary task. A local user can exploit racy stack unwinding and leak kernel task stack contents.

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Memory corruption
EUVDB-ID: #VU15433
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 6.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-18445
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.
The vulnerability exists in the adjust_scalar_min_max_vals function, as defined in the kernel/bpf/verifier.c source code file due to boundary error in the BPF verifier. A local attacker can trigger the BPF verifier to mishandle 32-bit right shifts and cause an out-of-bounds memory access condition to access sensitive information, escalate privileges, or cause a DoS condition on the targeted system.

3) Type Confusion
EUVDB-ID: #VU21092
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 6.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-9568
CWE-ID:
CWE-843 - Type confusion
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error in the sk_clone_lock() function in sock.c. A local user can run a specially crafted application to trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system with elevated privileges.
