Description

It was discovered that a buffer overflow existed in the 802.11 Wi-Fi configuration interface for the Linux kernel when handling beacon settings. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-16746)

Nicolas Waisman discovered that the WiFi driver stack in the Linux kernel did not properly validate SSID lengths. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2019-17133)

It was discovered that the ADIS16400 IIO IMU Driver for the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate memory in certain error conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2019-19060)

It was discovered that the Intel OPA Gen1 Infiniband Driver for the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate memory in certain error conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2019-19065)

It was discovered that the Cascoda CA8210 SPI 802.15.4 wireless controller driver for the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate memory in certain error conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2019-19075)

Nicolas Waisman discovered that the Chelsio T4/T5 RDMA Driver for the Linux kernel performed DMA from a kernel stack. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2019-17075)

CVEs contained in this USN include: CVE-2019-16746, CVE-2019-17075, CVE-2019-17133, CVE-2019-19060, CVE-2019-19065, CVE-2019-19075

Affected VMware Products and Versions

Severity is medium unless otherwise noted.

Vulnerable Cloud Foundry components individually listed here. Impacted stemcells may be updated independently of upgrading Pivotal Application Service or PCF Isolation Segment.
  • Pivotal Application Service
    • 2.8.x versions prior to 2.8.1
    • 2.7.x versions prior to 2.7.7
    • 2.6.x versions prior to 2.6.13
    • 2.5.x versions prior to 2.5.18
  • PCF Isolation Segment
    • 2.8.x versions prior to 2.8.1
    • 2.7.x versions prior to 2.7.7
    • 2.6.x versions prior to 2.6.12

    • 2.6.x versions prior to 2.6.18
    • 2.5.x versions prior to 2.5.26

Mitigation

Users of affected products are strongly encouraged to follow one of the mitigations below. The Cloud Foundry security team recommends upgrading BOSH to the affected OSS components listed here if applicable. Upgrade Pivotal products that use earlier versions of CF components to new Pivotal releases using new versions linked above. On the Pivotal Network product page for each release, check the Depends On section and/or Release Notes for this information. Releases that have fixed this issue include:
  • Pivotal Application Service
    • 2.8.1
    • 2.7.7
    • 2.6.13
    • 2.5.18
  • PCF Isolation Segment
    • 2.8.1
    • 2.7.7
    • 2.6.12
    • 2.5.17
  • Pivotal Operations Manager
    • 2.7.8
    • 2.6.18
