Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.

1) Use-after-free

EUVDB-ID: #VU19568

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 3.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-20856

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on a targeted system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when the "__blk_drain_queue()" function in the "block/blk-core.c" file mishandles error cases. A local authenticated attacker can access the system and execute an application that submits malicious input, cause a use-after-free memory operation error and execute arbitrary code on the targeted system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

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

2) Heap-based buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU20810

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-2019-10126

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) condition or execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the Marvell Wireless LAN device driver in "mwifiex_uap_parse_tail_ies" function in "drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/ie.c". A local authenticated user can trigger heap-based buffer overflow and cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

3) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU28399

Risk: High

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-2019-3846

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

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.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

4) Cryptographic issues

EUVDB-ID: #VU20290

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 3.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-9506

CWE-ID: CWE-310 - Cryptographic Issues

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows an attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a weakness in Bluetooth Basic Rate/Enhanced Data Rate (BR/EDR) protocol core specification that allows an attacker with close proximity to the affected system to perform a man-in-the-middle attack on an encrypted Bluetooth connection.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to gain access to sensitive information or perform unauthorized actions.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
