Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP5 Azure kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2021-3444: Fixed an issue with the bpf verifier which did not properly handle mod32 destination register truncation when the source register was known to be 0 leading to out of bounds read (bsc#1184170).

CVE-2021-3428: Fixed an integer overflow in ext4_es_cache_extent (bsc#1173485).

CVE-2021-29647: Fixed an issue in qrtr_recvmsg which could have allowed attackers to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory because of a partially uninitialized data structure (bsc#1184192 ).

CVE-2021-29265: Fixed an issue in usbip_sockfd_store which could have allowed attackers to cause a denial of service due to race conditions during an update of the local and shared status (bsc#1184167).

CVE-2021-29264: Fixed an issue in the Freescale Gianfar Ethernet driver which could have allowed attackers to cause a system crash due to a calculation of negative fragment size (bsc#1184168).

CVE-2021-28972: Fixed a user-tolerable buffer overflow when writing a new device name to the driver from userspace, allowing userspace to write data to the kernel stack frame directly (bsc#1184198).

CVE-2021-28971: Fixed an issue in intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm which could have caused a system crash because the PEBS status in a PEBS record was mishandled (bsc#1184196 ).

CVE-2021-28964: Fixed a race condition in get_old_root which could have allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (bsc#1184193).

CVE-2021-28688: Fixed an issue introduced by XSA-365 (bsc#1183646).

CVE-2021-28660: Fixed an out of bounds write in rtw_wx_set_scan (bsc#1183593 ).

CVE-2021-28038: Fixed an issue with the netback driver which was lacking necessary treatment of errors such as failed memory allocations (bsc#1183022).

CVE-2021-27365: Fixed an issue where an unprivileged user can send a Netlink message that is associated with iSCSI, and has a length up to the maximum length of a Netlink message (bsc#1182715).

CVE-2021-27364: Fixed an issue where an attacker could craft Netlink messages (bsc#1182717).

CVE-2021-27363: Fixed a kernel pointer leak which could have been used to determine the address of the iscsi_transport structure (bsc#1182716).

CVE-2020-35519: Fixed an out-of-bounds memory access was found in x25_bind (bsc#1183696).

CVE-2020-27815: Fixed an issue in JFS filesystem where could have allowed an attacker to execute code (bsc#1179454).

CVE-2020-27171: Fixed an off-by-one error affecting out-of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic, leading to side-channel attacks that defeat Spectre mitigations and obtain sensitive information from kernel memory (bsc#1183775).

CVE-2020-27170: Fixed potential side-channel attacks that defeat Spectre mitigations and obtain sensitive information from kernel memory (bsc#1183686).

CVE-2021-26930: Fixed an improper error handling in blkback's grant mapping (XSA-365 bsc#1181843).

CVE-2021-26931: Fixed an issue where Linux kernel was treating grant mapping errors as bugs (XSA-362 bsc#1181753).

CVE-2021-26932: Fixed improper error handling issues in Linux grant mapping (XSA-361 bsc#1181747).

CVE-2020-29368,CVE-2020-29374: Fixed an issue in copy-on-write implementation which could have granted unintended write access because of a race condition in a THP mapcount check (bsc#1179660, bsc#1179428).

CVE-2020-0433: Fixed a use after free due to improper locking which could have led to local escalation of privilege (bsc#1176720).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

How to Run

Here is how to run the SUSE SLES12 Security Update : kernel (SUSE-SU-2021:1175-1) as a standalone plugin via the Nessus web user interface (https://localhost:8834/):

  1. Click to start a New Scan.
  2. Select Advanced Scan.
  3. Navigate to the Plugins tab.
  4. On the top right corner click to Disable All plugins.
  5. On the left side table select SuSE Local Security Checks plugin family.
  6. On the right side table select SUSE SLES12 Security Update : kernel (SUSE-SU-2021:1175-1) plugin ID 148509.
  7. Specify the target on the Settings tab and click to Save the scan.
  8. Run the scan.

Here are a few examples of how to run the plugin in the command line. Note that the examples below demonstrate the usage on the Linux / Unix platform.

Basic usage:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl suse_SU-2021-1175-1.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a suse_SU-2021-1175-1.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with trace script execution written to the console (useful for debugging):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - suse_SU-2021-1175-1.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with using a state file for the target and updating it (useful for running multiple plugins on the target):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -K /tmp/state suse_SU-2021-1175-1.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Go back to menu.
