kernel: crash (possible privesc) in kernel crypto api.

A flaw was found in the crypto subsystem of the Linux kernel before version kernel-4.15-rc4. The "null skcipher" was being dropped when each af_alg_ctx was freed instead of when the aead_tfm was freed. This can cause the null skcipher to be freed while it is still in use leading to a local user being able to crash the system or possibly escalate privileges.

kernel: NULL pointer dereference in fs/hfsplus/dir.c:hfsplus_lookup() when operating on a file in a crafted hfs+ image

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10. There is a NULL pointer dereference and panic in hfsplus_lookup() in fs/hfsplus/dir.c when opening a file (that is purportedly a hard link) in an hfs+ filesystem that has malformed catalog data, and is mounted read-only without a metadata directory.

kernel: NULL pointer dereference in fs/crypto/crypto.c:fscrypt_do_page_crypto() when operating on a corrupted f2fs image

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10. There is a NULL pointer dereference in fscrypt_do_page_crypto() in fs/crypto/crypto.c when operating on a file in a corrupted f2fs image.

kernel: Buffer overflow in fs/f2fs/inline.c:truncate_inline_inode() when unmounting a crafted f2fs image

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10. There is a buffer overflow in truncate_inline_inode() in fs/f2fs/inline.c when umounting an f2fs image, because a length value may be negative.

kernel: Out-of-bounds access in fs/f2fs/segment.c:__remove_dirty_segment() when mounting a crafted f2fs image

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10. There is an out-of-bounds access in __remove_dirty_segment() in fs/f2fs/segment.c when mounting an f2fs image.

kernel: Invalid pointer dereference in io_ctl_map_page() when mounting and operating a crafted btrfs image

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10. There is an invalid pointer dereference in io_ctl_map_page() when mounting and operating a crafted btrfs image, because of a lack of block group item validation in check_leaf_item in fs/btrfs/tree-checker.c.

kernel: Invalid pointer dereference in btrfs_root_node() when mounting a crafted btrfs image

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10. There is an invalid pointer dereference in btrfs_root_node() when mounting a crafted btrfs image, because of a lack of chunk block group mapping validation in btrfs_read_block_groups in fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c, and a lack of empty-tree checks in check_leaf in fs/btrfs/tree-checker.c.

kernel: Use-after-free in try_merge_free_space() when mounting crafted btrfs image

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10. There is a use-after-free in try_merge_free_space() when mounting a crafted btrfs image, because of a lack of chunk type flag checks in btrfs_check_chunk_valid in fs/btrfs/volumes.c.

kernel: Out-of-bounds access in write_extent_buffer() when mounting and operating a crafted btrfs image

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10. There is out-of-bounds access in write_extent_buffer() when mounting and operating a crafted btrfs image, because of a lack of verification that each block group has a corresponding chunk at mount time, within btrfs_read_block_groups in fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c.

kernel: Invalid pointer dereference in fs/btrfs/relocation.c:__del_reloc_root() when mounting crafted btrfs image

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10. There is an invalid pointer dereference in __del_reloc_root() in fs/btrfs/relocation.c when mounting a crafted btrfs image, related to removing reloc rb_trees when reloc control has not been initialized.

kernel: Integer overflow in drivers/video/fbdev/uvesafb.c:uvesafb_setcmap() allows for potential denial of service

An integer overflow in the uvesafb_setcmap function in drivers/video/fbdev/uvesafb.c in the Linux kernel before 4.17.4 could result in local attackers being able to crash the kernel or potentially elevate privileges because kmalloc_array is not used.

kernel: Missing check in fs/inode.c:inode_init_owner() does not clear SGID bit on non-directories for non-members

The inode_init_owner function in fs/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16 allows local users to create files with an unintended group ownership, in a scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group and is writable by a user who is not a member of that group. Here, the non-member can trigger creation of a plain file whose group ownership is that group. The intended behavior was that the non-member can trigger creation of a directory (but not a plain file) whose group ownership is that group. The non-member can escalate privileges by making the plain file executable and SGID.

Druide Antidote through 9.5.1 on Windows and Linux allows remote code execution through the update mechanism by leveraging use of HTTP to download installation packages.

kernel: divide-by-zero in fs/f2fs/super.c

An issue was discovered in fs/f2fs/super.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3, which does not properly validate secs_per_zone in a corrupted f2fs image, as demonstrated by a divide-by-zero error.

kernel: out-of-bounds memory access in fs/f2fs/inline.c

An issue was discovered in fs/f2fs/inline.c in the Linux kernel through 4.4. A denial of service (out-of-bounds memory access and BUG) can occur for a modified f2fs filesystem image in which an inline inode contains an invalid reserved blkaddr.

kernel: slab out-of-bounds read in fs/f2fs/inode.c

An issue was discovered in fs/f2fs/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3. A denial of service (slab out-of-bounds read and BUG) can occur for a modified f2fs filesystem image in which FI_EXTRA_ATTR is set in an inode.

kernel: divide-by-zero in fs/f2fs/super.c

An issue was discovered in fs/f2fs/super.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3. There is an out-of-bounds read or a divide-by-zero error for an incorrect user_block_count in a corrupted f2fs image, leading to a denial of service (BUG).

kernel: out-of-bounds memory access in fs/f2fs/super.c

An issue was discovered in fs/f2fs/super.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14. A denial of service (out-of-bounds memory access and BUG) can occur upon encountering an abnormal bitmap size when mounting a crafted f2fs image.

kernel: NULL pointer dereference in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_inode_buf.c

An issue was discovered in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_inode_buf.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3. A denial of service (memory corruption and BUG) can occur for a corrupted xfs image upon encountering an inode that is in extent format, but has more extents than fit in the inode fork.

kernel: NULL pointer dereference in xfs_da_shrink_inode function

An issue was discovered in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr_leaf.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3. An OOPS may occur for a corrupted xfs image after xfs_da_shrink_inode() is called with a NULL bp.
