CVE-ID: CVE-2019-5489

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Information exposure

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a flaw in the mincore() implementation in mm/mincore.c. A local attacker can observe page cache access patterns of other processes on the same system and sniff secret information.

4) Infinite loop

EUVDB-ID: #VU11181

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-18208

CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists in the madvise_willneed function due to infinite loop. A local attacker can trigger use of MADVISE_WILLNEED for a DAX mapping and cause the service to crash.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

5) Infinite loop

EUVDB-ID: #VU19998

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-3900

CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop in vhost_net kernel module when processing incoming packets in handle_rx(). A remote attacker with access to guest operating system can stall the vhost_net kernel thread and cause denial of service conditions.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

6) Race condition

EUVDB-ID: #VU9693

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 7.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-10661

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

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges or cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists due to race condition in fs/timerfd.c in the Linux kernel. A local attacker can use simultaneous file-descriptor operations, leverage improper might_cancel queueing, trigger list corruption or use-after-free and cause the service to crash or execute arbitrary code with root privileges.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
