CVE-2018-3620

TITLE

Intel processors are vulnerable to a speculative execution side-channel attack called L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF)

DESCRIPTION

Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and address translations may allow unauthorized disclosure of information residing in the L1 data cache to an attacker with local user access via a terminal page fault and a side-channel analysis. These attacks are known as L1 Terminal Fault: SGX, L1 Terminal Fault: OS/SMM, and L1 Terminal Fault: VMM. Intel Core i3 processor, etc. are all CPU (central processing unit) products of Intel Corporation of the United States. The following products are affected: Intel Core i3 processor; Intel Core i5 processor; Intel Core i7 processor; Intel Core M processor family; 2nd generation Intel Core processors; 3rd generation Intel Core processors; 4th generation Intel Core processors; 5th generation Intel Core processors, etc. The microcode updates mentioned there are not yet available in a form distributable by Debian. For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 4.8.4+xsa273+shim4.10.1+xsa273-1+deb9u10. We recommend that you upgrade your xen packages. For the detailed security status of xen please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/xen Further information about Debian Security Advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: https://www.debian.org/security/ Mailing list: debian-security-announce@lists.debian.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEtuYvPRKsOElcDakFEMKTtsN8TjYFAlt14mwACgkQEMKTtsN8 Tjb2LhAAokwmlGxyJPC3EGG9aOLKNv23G9OzLLNRm+cy150WAMgBio+bR2CAgkfX qu/ftFPLeKfIRbo9nLBFHQLMKlmDdFzLeicXe7GtnKcAMkt0Wp+rYIj66TMkjrMg 2kJI68ECc5Rqj3fMZ+dgkxSHzhylUGG70mEIBf2D22Y72kkIfc3EzBuu2wxaaOTP t7Q7JkYDv9WV/6gw8Ok2vIrQcq95jtZgDSL1ZHHg6VTukHnXP2SU1rMfRCguTCtc 5JYAgWJ1GWFWt3d6FQnk7SWwJf3pHEVNg0lGpRJdu4qperQ3EhQNeJlGq8adm/Zf QQUT9T6vsU5cefgelIRSLxFZ9bDobxXXNaox3FqB4tslkJLhTRluCvilJpWuNpH5 7S6xti5neGuHORfIkcS1PmOEx2gDkKWTgotiBx04yU3q+/zr0Ob+K2jxZXe4z2uU sqEq8pdjCnkE03cljPbfPeutyucS3xDFpFVoXlRqgRNMdZ7jzVSP6qayt3iQIa/E djVQ2ptHxux5Zapg5Ngr2ASBdyIw+2GLVUKQCeqM+EjMXjRBaJv8DPxWwO4nkC4d eliy9RxErtQpgHIZKHVmTjoRlh/OH4KAdHZT2Y+Gfv1DVA6TL5cPiQ9e0ZunNNaK vtXyOzjNPVPZa+2MEq9FTFIkDsR8Ncl/JCzp0bx5uVaV/ovX0A8=reP+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- . 6.6) - noarch, x86_64 3. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 ==================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Important: kernel security and bug fix update Advisory ID: RHSA-2018:2390-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2018:2390 Issue date: 2018-08-14 CVE Names: CVE-2017-0861 CVE-2017-15265 CVE-2018-3620 CVE-2018-3646 CVE-2018-3693 CVE-2018-7566 CVE-2018-10901 CVE-2018-1000004 ==================================================================== 1.

Description: The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix(es): * Modern operating systems implement virtualization of physical memory to efficiently use available system resources and provide inter-domain protection through access control and isolation. The L1TF issue was found in the way the x86 microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of instructions (a commonly used performance optimisation) in combination with handling of page-faults caused by terminated virtual to physical address resolving process. As a result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to read privileged memory of the kernel or other processes and/or cross guest/host boundaries to read host memory by conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks. (CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646) * An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of instructions past bounds check. The flaw relies on the presence of a precisely-defined instruction sequence in the privileged code and the fact that memory writes occur to an address which depends on the untrusted value. Such writes cause an update into the microprocessor's data cache even for speculatively executed instructions that never actually commit (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to influence speculative execution and/or read privileged memory by conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks. (CVE-2018-3693) * kernel: kvm: vmx: host GDT limit corruption (CVE-2018-10901) * kernel: Use-after-free in snd_pcm_info function in ALSA subsystem potentially leads to privilege escalation (CVE-2017-0861) * kernel: Use-after-free in snd_seq_ioctl_create_port() (CVE-2017-15265) * kernel: race condition in snd_seq_write() may lead to UAF or OOB-access (CVE-2018-7566) * kernel: Race condition in sound system can lead to denial of service (CVE-2018-1000004) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section. Red Hat would like to thank Intel OSSIRT (Intel.com) for reporting CVE-2018-3620 and CVE-2018-3646; Vladimir Kiriansky (MIT) and Carl Waldspurger (Carl Waldspurger Consulting) for reporting CVE-2018-3693; and Vegard Nossum (Oracle Corporation) for reporting CVE-2018-10901. Bug Fix(es): * The Least recently used (LRU) operations are batched by caching pages in per-cpu page vectors to prevent contention of the heavily used lru_lock spinlock. The page vectors can hold even the compound pages. Previously, the page vectors were cleared only if they were full. Subsequently, the amount of memory held in page vectors, which is not reclaimable, was sometimes too high. Consequently the page reclamation started the Out of Memory (OOM) killing processes. With this update, the underlying source code has been fixed to clear LRU page vectors each time when a compound page is added to them. As a result, OOM killing processes due to high amounts of memory held in page vectors no longer occur. (BZ#1575819) 4. Solution: For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect. 5.

This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. It was discovered that memory present in the L1 data cache of an Intel CPU core may be exposed to a malicious process that is executing on the CPU core. A local attacker in a guest virtual machine could use this to expose sensitive information (memory from other guests or the host OS). (CVE-2018-3646) It was discovered that memory present in the L1 data cache of an Intel CPU core may be exposed to a malicious process that is executing on the CPU core. (CVE-2018-3620) Juha-Matti Tilli discovered that the IP implementation in the Linux kernel performed algorithmically expensive operations in some situations when handling incoming packet fragments. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-5391) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: linux-image-4.15.0-1017-gcp 4.15.0-1017.18~16.04.1 linux-image-4.15.0-1021-azure 4.15.0-1021.21~16.04.1 linux-image-4.15.0-32-generic 4.15.0-32.35~16.04.1 linux-image-4.15.0-32-generic-lpae 4.15.0-32.35~16.04.1 linux-image-4.15.0-32-lowlatency 4.15.0-32.35~16.04.1 linux-image-azure 4.15.0.1021.27 linux-image-gcp 4.15.0.1017.29 linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04 4.15.0.32.54 linux-image-generic-lpae-hwe-16.04 4.15.0.32.54 linux-image-gke 4.15.0.1017.29 linux-image-lowlatency-hwe-16.04 4.15.0.32.54 linux-image-virtual-hwe-16.04 4.15.0.32.54 Please note that the recommended mitigation for CVE-2018-3646 involves updating processor microcode in addition to updating the kernel; however, the kernel includes a fallback for processors that have not received microcode updates. ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed. Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages (e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual, linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform this as well. These CVEs are security vulnerabilities caused by flaws in the design of speculative execution hardware in the computer's CPU. Details on the vulnerability and our response can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/L1TF Due to the high complexity of the fixes and the need for a corresponding CPU microcode update for a complete fix, we are unable to livepatch these CVEs. Please plan to reboot into an updated kernel as soon as possible.
