Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
EUVDB-ID: #VU22704
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 4.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11135
CWE-ID:
CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the TSX Asynchronous Abort (TAA) in Intel CPUs. The TAA condition, on some microprocessors utilizing speculative execution, may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via a side channel. MitigationInstall updates from vendor's website.

CPE2.3https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2020:0839
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. However, proof of concept for this vulnerability is available.
EUVDB-ID: #VU21057
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 0.4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11487
CWE-ID:
CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a reference count overflow in page->_refcount that leads to a use-after-free error on systems with more than 140 GiB of RAM. A local user can send specially crafted FUSE requests that may lead to denial of service conditions.
The vulnerability is related to code in fs/fuse/dev.c, fs/pipe.c, fs/splice.c, include/linux/mm.h, include/linux/pipe_fs_i.h, kernel/trace/trace.c, mm/gup.c, and mm/hugetlb.c files.

EUVDB-ID: #VU22595
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 6.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-17666
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the P2P (Wifi-Direct) functionality in rtl_p2p_noa_ie() function in drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/ps.c in Linux kernel when processing Notice and Absence frames. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data via the wireless network, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

EUVDB-ID: #VU26406
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 4.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-19338
CWE-ID:
CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to incomplete fix for Transaction Asynchronous Abort (TAA) issue on certain Intel CPUs (CVE-2019-11135). A local user on a guest operating system can exploit this vulnerability to gain access to sensitive information.
