Double Free
CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

As per Upstream advisory:

A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is considered rare.

This issue affects OpenSSL versions 1.0.2 and 1.0.1.

OpenSSL 1.0.2 users should upgrade to 1.0.2g OpenSSL 1.0.1 users should upgrade to 1.0.1s

This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 7th February 2016 by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using libFuzzer. The fix was developed by Dr Stephen Henson of OpenSSL.

A flaw was found in the CXGB3 kernel driver when the network was considered congested. The kernel would incorrectly misinterpret the congestion as an error condition and incorrectly free/clean up the skb. When the device would then send the skb's queued, these structures would be referenced and may panic the system or allow an attacker to escalate privileges in a use-after-free scenario.

From the patch:

----

The cxgb3send() functions return NETXMIT values, which are positive integers values. So don't treat positive return values as an error. ----

Race Condition
CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

From the git commit:

An deadlock condition can occur when sctpaccept() is called by the local software during a heartbeat timeout event after the 4-way handshake. Since sctpassocmigrate() changes both assoc->base.sk and assoc->ep, the bhsocklock in sctpgenerateheartbeatevent() will be taken with the listening socket but released with the new association socket. The result is a deadlock on any future attempts to take the listening socket lock, preventing sctp sockets from working correctly.

The server must be running an service using the sctp protocol to be affected.

It was reported that due to buffer overflow, it is possible for remote TCP endpoint to trigger the opposite TCP endpoint to write to a socket in sequence which causes the ethernet driver to send arbitrary kernel data over the ethernet interface instead of a portion of the intended packet data.

Initially this issue was believed to be present in a number of mainline drivers in 3.10.x and 4.4.2 vanilla kernel sources. After further investigation it was found that only [atl2] driver (code in drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/atlx/atl2.c) from the list of suspected drivers is vulnerable.

As a result, certain conditions should be met to trigger the issue: - the [atl2] driver and the corresponding network card (which believed to be not so frequently used) should be present on the target system - an application should make such a sequence of calls that a network buffer for the data to be transmitted is scattered - hardware checksumming should be enabled so the packet checksum is correct

The above makes this vulnerability less probable to be hit.

CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel. Payloads of NM entries are not supposed to contain NUL. When such entry is processed, only the part prior to the first NUL goes into the concatenation (i.e. the directory entry name being encoded by a bunch of NM entries). The process stops when the amount collected so far + the claimed amount in the current NM entry exceed 254.

However, the value returned as the total length is the sum of claimed sizes, not the actual amount collected. And that can grow pretty large - not unlimited, since you'd need to put CE entries in between to be able to get more than the maximum that could be contained in one isofs directory entry / continuation chunk and the process stops once it had encountered 32 CEs, but you can get about 8Kb easily. And that's what will be passed to readdir callback as the name length. 8Kb copytouser() from a buffer allocated by getfreepage()
