Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.

1) Rogue System Register Read

EUVDB-ID: #VU12914

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 4.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-3640

CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.

The weakness exists due to race conditions in CPU cache processing. A local attacker can conduct a side-channel attack to exploit a flaw in the speculative loading of system registers to read privileged system registers

Note: the vulnerability is referred to as "Spectre variant 3A".

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

Vulnerable software versions

EMC Isilon OneFS: before 8.1.2.0

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

2) Speculative Store Bypass

EUVDB-ID: #VU12911

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 4.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-3639

CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.

The weakness exists due to race conditions in CPU cache processing. A local attacker can conduct a side-channel attack to exploit a flaw in the speculative execution of Load and Store instructions to read privileged memory.

Note: the vulnerability is referred to as "Spectre variant 4".

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

3) Side-channel attack

EUVDB-ID: #VU14411

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 4.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-3620

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Information exposure

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to an error in systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and address translations . A local attacker can trigger terminal page fault, conduct side-channel attack and gain access to potentially sensitive information residing in the L1 data cache.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
