A backporting error was discovered in the Linux stable/longterm kernel 4.4.x through 4.4.190, 4.9.x through 4.9.190, 4.14.x through 4.14.141, 4.19.x through 4.19.69, and 5.2.x through 5.2.11. Misuse of the upstream "x86/ptrace: Fix possible spectre-v1 in ptrace_get_debugreg()" commit reintroduced the Spectre vulnerability that it aimed to eliminate. This occurred because the backport process depends on cherry picking specific commits, and because two (correctly ordered) code lines were swapped.

A remote gain authorized access vulnerability was discovered in HPE 3PAR Service Processor version(s): prior to 5.0.5.1.

A remote multiple multiple cross-site vulnerability was discovered in HPE 3PAR Service Processor version(s): prior to 5.0.5.1.

A remote session reuse vulnerability was discovered in HPE 3PAR Service Processor version(s): prior to 5.0.5.1.

A remote bypass of security restrictions vulnerability was discovered in HPE 3PAR Service Processor version(s): prior to 5.0.5.1.

A remote arbitrary file upload vulnerability was discovered in HPE 3PAR Service Processor version(s): prior to 5.0.5.1.

A remote authentication bypass vulnerability was discovered in HPE 3PAR Service Processor version(s): prior to 5.0.5.1.

In the Linux kernel before 5.1.17, ptrace_link in kernel/ptrace.c mishandles the recording of the credentials of a process that wants to create a ptrace relationship, which allows local users to obtain root access by leveraging certain scenarios with a parent-child process relationship, where a parent drops privileges and calls execve (potentially allowing control by an attacker). One contributing factor is an object lifetime issue (which can also cause a panic). Another contributing factor is incorrect marking of a ptrace relationship as privileged, which is exploitable through (for example) Polkit's pkexec helper with PTRACE_TRACEME. NOTE: SELinux deny_ptrace might be a usable workaround in some environments.

HPE has identified a vulnerability in HPE 3PAR Service Processor (SP) version 4.1 through 4.4. HPE 3PAR Service Processor (SP) version 4.1 through 4.4 has a remote information disclosure vulnerability which can allow for the disruption of the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the Service Processor and any managed 3PAR arrays.

Certain versions between 2.x to 5.x (refer to advisory) of the NetApp Service Processor firmware were shipped with a default account enabled that could allow unauthorized arbitrary command execution. Any platform listed in the advisory Impact section may be affected and should be upgraded to a fixed version of Service Processor firmware IMMEDIATELY.
