Description Kristian Fiskerstrand (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-06-05 16:47:52 UTC
CVE-2014-3153
    Pinkie Pie discovered an issue in the futex subsystem that allows a
    local user to gain ring 0 control via the futex syscall. An
    unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the kernel (resulting
    in denial of service) or for privilege escalation.

Reproducible: Always

I have update hardened sources 

these have the fix (4 patches, not 6 like posted here http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q2/470 )

hardened-sources-3.14.5-r1.ebuild
hardened-sources-3.14.4-r2.ebuild
hardened-sources-3.13.10-r1.ebuild
hardened-sources-3.13.6-r4.ebuild
hardened-sources-3.13.2-r4.ebuild
hardened-sources-3.11.7-r2.ebuild
hardened-sources-3.2.59-r3.ebuild
hardened-sources-3.2.55-r8.ebuild
hardened-sources-3.2.54-r10.ebuild
hardened-sources-3.2.53-r7.ebuild

All other versions lower then this for M.m.p-r versions do not

I'm going ot have to revert these because the rev bumps are recycled from previous ebuild that were taken off the tree.  Give me a day to see what upstream grsec/pax is up to before we consider this addressed.

hardened-sources-3.14.5-r2 and hardened-sources-3.2.59-r4 contain the correct fixes from grsec/pax upstream.  I'll rapid stabilize these in a few days.

does 3.14.5-r2 contain fix for CVE-2014-0196 (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=509840) ?

The current recommendation is to use hardened-sources-3.14.5-r2 or hardened-sources-3.2.59-r5 to cover both the pty race and futex syscall ring 0 exploit.  However there is a known issue, so do not enable KSTACKOVERFLOW.  See http://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3970.
Comment 8 Tom Wijsman (TomWij) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-06-06 20:20:08 UTC
This has been taken care of for most branches and arches in gentoo-sources; the only remaining vulnerable are those that need stabilization as per bug #510488.

An overview of the patched versions if someone needs to know them:

    3.2.58-r3, 3.4.91-r1, 3.10.41-r1 (stable), 3.12.21-r1 (stable), 3.14.5-r1

Any lower versions in each branch are vulnerable. Removal of old keywords and ebuilds, as well as masking of newer ebuilds is done; except for the above bug.

i see hardened-sources-3.14.5-r2 are stable now. has the issue with KSTACKOVERFLOW been resolved? is it safe to enable on a headless machine? on a KVM guest?

This issue is still here. Please read the following thread:

Comment 11 GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2014-08-10 21:53:11 UTC
CVE-2014-3153 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-3153):
  The futex_requeue function in kernel/futex.c in the Linux kernel through
  3.14.5 does not ensure that calls have two different futex addresses, which
  allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted FUTEX_REQUEUE command
  that facilitates unsafe waiter modification.
Comment 12 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-11-30 00:54:56 UTC
All upstream LTS kernels are including the patch; All sys-kernel/gentoo-sources ebuilds excluding sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.4.x have stable ebuilds containing the fix.

sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.4.x is currently being stabilized in bug 522930.
