Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Double-free memory error (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-10902)
The vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to double-free memory error in snd_rawmidi_input_params() and snd_rawmidi_output_status() in 'rawmidi.c'. A local attacker can gain elevated privileges and execute arbitrary code.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-20856)
The vulnerability allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on a targeted system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when the "__blk_drain_queue()" function in the "block/blk-core.c" file mishandles error cases. A local authenticated attacker can access the system and execute an application that submits malicious input, cause a use-after-free memory operation error and execute arbitrary code on the targeted system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
3) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11810)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error when megasas_create_frame_pool() fails in megasas_alloc_cmds() in drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-9500)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the "brcmf_wowl_nd_results()" function in "drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c" file. A remote attacker on the local network can trigger heap-based buffer overflow and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.
5) Cryptographic issues (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-9506)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a weakness in Bluetooth Basic Rate/Enhanced Data Rate (BR/EDR) protocol core specification that allows an attacker with close proximity to the affected system to perform a man-in-the-middle attack on an encrypted Bluetooth connection.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to gain access to sensitive information or perform unauthorized actions.
