SB2020102602 - Multiple vulnerabilities in Fujitsu M12 servers

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11477)

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow when handling TCP Selective Acknowledgments (SACKs) due to incorrect processing of TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs value in Linux kernel. A remote non-authenticated attacker can send specially crafted network traffic to the affected system, trigger integer overflow and render the system unavailable.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform denial of service (DoS) attack.

2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-3693)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists in the design of most modern CPUs using speculative execution and branch prediction due to improper speculative execution of instructions. A local attacker can bypass bounds checks, trigger buffer overflow, perform arbitrary speculative execution and a side-channel attack to access sensitive memory information.
