Re: Multiple vulnerabilities in several ATEN IP KVM Switches

This is Technical Support Team from ATEN.

Firstly, we appreciate all suggestions from Germany TUB LAB. Undoubtedly, guaranteeing our KVM products with robust security mechanism is our responsibility.

After discussing with Germany TUB LAB, we believe all security issues could be fixed by new Firmware version as below. 

- KH1508i/KH1516i v1.0.068 
- KN9108/KN9116 v1.1.109 
- PN9108 v1.8.179

[Suspected Spam][USN-947-2] Linux kernel regression

all the necessary changes.

Details follow:

USN-947-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel.  Fixes for
CVE-2010-0419 caused failures when using KVM in certain situations.
This update reverts that fix until a better solution can be found.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

 Problem Description:

[SECURITY] [DSA-1996-1] New Linux 2.6.26 packages fix several vulnerabilities

    that allow local users to cause a denial of service (system panic)
    or obtain elevated privileges.

CVE-2010-0298 & CVE-2010-0306

    Gleb Natapov discovered issues in the KVM subsystem where missing
    permission checks (CPL/IOPL) permit a user in a guest system to
    denial of service a guest (system crash) or gain escalated
    privileges with the guest.

CVE-2010-0307

[SECURITY] [DSA 1915-1] New Linux 2.6.26 packages fix several vulnerabilities

    with corrupted permissions, possibly granting unintentional
    privileges to other local users.

CVE-2009-3290

    Jan Kiszka noticed that the kvm_emulate_hypercall function in KVM
    does not prevent access to MMU hypercalls from ring 0, which
    allows local guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest
    kernel crash) and read or write guest kernel memory.

CVE-2009-3613

[SECURITY] [DSA 1845-1] New Linux 2.6.26 packages fix several vulnerabilities

    user to bypass mmap_min_addr restrictions which can be exploited
    to execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2009-2287

    Matt T. Yourst discovered an issue in the kvm subsystem. Local
    users with permission to manipulate /dev/kvm can cause a denial
    of service (hang) by providing an invalid cr3 value to the
    KVM_SET_SREGS call.

CVE-2009-2406

[SECURITY] [DSA 1787-1] New Linux 2.6.24 packages fix several vulnerabilities

    uninitialized memory.

CVE-2009-1242

    Benjamin Gilbert reported a local denial of service vulnerability
    in the KVM VMX implementation that allows local users to trigger
    an oops.

CVE-2009-1265

    Thomas Pollet reported an overflow in the af_rose implementation

[DSECRG-09-049] IBM BladeCenter Management Module - DoS vulnerability

Description
***********

The BladeCenter management module is a hot-swappable hardware device plugged into the   BladeCenter 
chassis management bay. The management module functions as a system-management processor (service processor) 
and keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM)   multiplexor for blade servers. This device can be remotely rebooted.

[SECURITY] [DSA 1800-1] New Linux 2.6.26 packages fix several vulnerabilities

    uninitialized memory.

CVE-2009-1242

    Benjamin Gilbert reported a local denial of service vulnerability
    in the KVM VMX implementation that allows local users to trigger
    an oops.

CVE-2009-1265

    Thomas Pollet reported an overflow in the af_rose implementation

[ MDVSA-2009:329 ] kernel

 local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) by creating an
 abstract-namespace AF_UNIX listening socket, performing a shutdown
 operation on this socket, and then performing a series of connect
 operations to this socket. (CVE-2009-3621)
 
 Integer overflow in the kvm_dev_ioctl_get_supported_cpuid function
 in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel
 before 2.6.31.4 allows local users to have an unspecified impact
 via a KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID request to the kvm_arch_dev_ioctl
 function. (CVE-2009-3638)
 

[ MDVSA-2009:289 ] kernel

 (kernel OOPS) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified
 vectors that cause a negative dentry and trigger a NULL pointer
 dereference, as demonstrated via a Mutt temporary directory in an
 eCryptfs mount. (CVE-2009-2908)
 
 The kvm_emulate_hypercall function in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in KVM in
 the Linux kernel 2.6.25-rc1, and other versions before 2.6.31, when
 running on x86 systems, does not prevent access to MMU hypercalls
 from ring 0, which allows local guest OS users to cause a denial of
 service (guest kernel crash) and read or write guest kernel memory
 via unspecified random addresses. (CVE-2009-3290)

[ MDVSA-2009:301 ] kernel

 local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) by creating an
 abstract-namespace AF_UNIX listening socket, performing a shutdown
 operation on this socket, and then performing a series of connect
 operations to this socket. (CVE-2009-3621)
 
 Integer overflow in the kvm_dev_ioctl_get_supported_cpuid function
 in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel
 before 2.6.31.4 allows local users to have an unspecified impact
 via a KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID request to the kvm_arch_dev_ioctl
 function. (CVE-2009-3638)
 

[SECURITY] [DSA 1927-1] New Linux 2.6.26 packages fix several vulnerabilities

    socket implementation. Local users can exploit this vulnerability
    to cause a denial of service (system hang).

CVE-2009-3638

    David Wagner reported an overflow in the KVM subsystem on i386
    systems. This issue is exploitable by local users with access to
    the /dev/kvm device file.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.6.26-19lenny2.
