According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Mounting a crafted EXT4 image read-only leads to an     attacker controlled memory corruption and     SLAB-Out-of-Bounds reads.(CVE-2016-10208i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the hwpoison implementation     in mm/memory-failure.c in the Linux kernel before     5.0.4. When soft_offline_in_use_page() runs on a thp     tail page after pmd is split, an attacker can cause a     denial of service (BUG).(CVE-2019-10124i1/4%0

  - A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the     Linux kernel's early load microcode functionality. On a     system with UEFI Secure Boot enabled, a local,     privileged user could use this flaw to increase their     privileges to the kernel (ring0) level, bypassing     intended restrictions in place.(CVE-2015-2666i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's     networking subsystem handled offloaded packets with     multiple layers of encapsulation in the GRO (Generic     Receive Offload) code path. A remote attacker could use     this flaw to trigger unbounded recursion in the kernel     that could lead to stack corruption, resulting in a     system crash.(CVE-2016-8666i1/4%0

  - The ethtool_get_wol function in net/core/ethtool.c in     the Linux kernel through 4.7, as used in Android before     2016-08-05 on Nexus 5 and 7 (2013) devices, does not     initialize a certain data structure, which allows local     users to obtain sensitive information via a crafted     application, aka Android internal bug 28803952 and     Qualcomm internal bug CR570754.(CVE-2014-9900i1/4%0

  - A vulnerability was found in crypto/ahash.c in the     Linux kernel which allows attackers to cause a denial     of service (API operation calling its own callback, and     infinite recursion) by triggering EBUSY on a full     queue.(CVE-2017-7618i1/4%0

  - drivers/misc/qseecom.c in the QSEECOM driver for the     Linux kernel 3.x, as used in Qualcomm Innovation Center     (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM devices and other     products, does not validate certain offset, length, and     base values within an ioctl call, which allows     attackers to gain privileges or cause a denial of     service (memory corruption) via a crafted     application.(CVE-2014-4322i1/4%0

  - An integer overflow vulnerability was found in the     Linux kernel in xt_alloc_table_info, which on 32-bit     systems can lead to small structure allocation and a     copy_from_user based heap corruption.(CVE-2016-3135i1/4%0

  - Stack-based buffer overflow in the     supply_lm_input_write function in     drivers/thermal/supply_lm_core.c in the MSM Thermal     driver for the Linux kernel 3.x, as used in Qualcomm     Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM     devices and other products, allows attackers to cause a     denial of service or possibly have unspecified other     impact via a crafted application that sends a large     amount of data through the debugfs     interface.(CVE-2016-2063i1/4%0

  - The l2tp_ip_recvmsg function in net/l2tp/l2tp_ip.c in     the Linux kernel before 3.12.4 updates a certain length     value before ensuring that an associated data structure     has been initialized, which allows local users to     obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory     via a (1) recvfrom, (2) recvmmsg, or (3) recvmsg system     call.(CVE-2013-7264i1/4%0

  - A bypass was found for the Spectre v1 hardening in the     eBPF engine of the Linux kernel. The code in the     kernel/bpf/verifier.c performs undesirable     out-of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic in     various cases, including cases of different branches     with different state or limits to sanitize, leading to     side-channel attacks.(CVE-2019-7308i1/4%0

  - The tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock function in     net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c in the Linux kernel mishandles     inheritance, which allows local users to cause a denial     of service or possibly have unspecified other impact     via crafted system calls, a related issue to     CVE-2017-8890. An unprivileged local user could use     this flaw to induce kernel memory corruption on the     system, leading to a crash. Due to the nature of the     flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out,     although we believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2017-9077i1/4%0

  - The cgroup offline implementation in the Linux kernel     through 4.8.11 mishandles certain drain operations,     which allows local users to cause a denial of service     (system hang) by leveraging access to a container     environment for executing a crafted application, as     demonstrated by trinity.(CVE-2016-9191i1/4%0

  - The KVM implementation in the Linux kernel through     4.20.5 has a Use-after-Free.(CVE-2019-7221i1/4%0

  - The drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb-v2/lmedm04.c in the Linux     kernel, through 4.13.11, allows local users to cause a     denial of service (general protection fault and system     crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a     crafted USB device, related to a missing warm-start     check and incorrect attach timing     (dm04_lme2510_frontend_attach versus     dm04_lme2510_tuner).(CVE-2017-16538i1/4%0

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA)     implementation handled user controls. A local,     privileged user could use this flaw to crash the     system.(CVE-2014-4653i1/4%0

  - A vulnerability leading to a local privilege escalation     was found in apparmor in the Linux kernel. When     proc_pid_attr_write() was changed to use memdup_user     apparmor's (interface violating) assumption that the     setprocattr buffer was always a single page was     violated.(CVE-2016-6187i1/4%0

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel in     'tmpfs' file system. When file permissions are modified     via 'chmod' and the user is not in the owning group or     capable of CAP_FSETID, the setgid bit is cleared in     inode_change_ok(). Setting a POSIX ACL via 'setxattr'     sets the file permissions as well as the new ACL, but     doesn't clear the setgid bit in a similar way this     allows to bypass the check in 'chmod'.(CVE-2017-5551i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel in the     ucma_leave_multicast() function in     drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c which allows access to a     certain data structure after freeing it in     ucma_process_join(). This allows an attacker to cause a     use-after-free bug and to induce kernel memory     corruption, leading to a system crash or other     unspecified impact. Due to the nature of the flaw,     privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out,     although we believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2018-14734i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Crypto     subsystem handled automatic loading of kernel modules.
    A local user could use this flaw to load any installed     kernel module, and thus increase the attack surface of     the running kernel.(CVE-2014-9644)

  - The Btrfs implementation in the Linux kernel before     3.19 does not ensure that the visible xattr state is     consistent with a requested replacement, which allows     local users to bypass intended ACL settings and gain     privileges via standard filesystem operations (1)     during an xattr-replacement time window, related to a     race condition, or (2) after an xattr-replacement     attempt that fails because the data does not     fit.(CVE-2014-9710)

  - An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's netfilter connection tracking implementation     loaded extensions. An attacker on a local network could     potentially send a sequence of specially crafted     packets that would initiate the loading of a large     number of extensions, causing the targeted system in     that network to crash.(CVE-2014-9715)

  - A symlink size validation was missing in Linux kernels     built with UDF file system (CONFIG_UDF_FS) support,     allowing the corruption of kernel memory. An attacker     able to mount a corrupted/malicious UDF file system     image could cause the kernel to crash.(CVE-2014-9728)

  - It was found that the Linux kernel KVM subsystem's     sysenter instruction emulation was not sufficient. An     unprivileged guest user could use this flaw to escalate     their privileges by tricking the hypervisor to emulate     a SYSENTER instruction in 16-bit mode, if the guest OS     did not initialize the SYSENTER model-specific     registers (MSRs). Note: Certified guest operating     systems for Red Hat Enterprise Linux with KVM do     initialize the SYSENTER MSRs and are thus not     vulnerable to this issue when running on a KVM     hypervisor.(CVE-2015-0239)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's XFS file     system handled replacing of remote attributes under     certain conditions. A local user with access to XFS     file system mount could potentially use this flaw to     escalate their privileges on the system.(CVE-2015-0274)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's ext4     file system handled the 'page size i1/4z block size'     condition when the fallocate zero range functionality     was used. A local attacker could use this flaw to crash     the system.(CVE-2015-0275)

  - It was found that the Linux kernel's keyring     implementation would leak memory when adding a key to a     keyring via the add_key() function. A local attacker     could use this flaw to exhaust all available memory on     the system.(CVE-2015-1333)

  - Race condition in the handle_to_path function in     fs/fhandle.c in the Linux kernel through 3.19.1 allows     local users to bypass intended size restrictions and     trigger read operations on additional memory locations     by changing the handle_bytes value of a file handle     during the execution of this function.(CVE-2015-1420)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's SCTP implementation handled authentication key     reference counting during INIT collisions. A remote     attacker could use this flaw to crash the system or,     potentially, escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2015-1421)

  - The IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel before     3.18.8 does not properly consider the length of the     Read-Copy Update (RCU) grace period for redirecting     lookups in the absence of caching, which allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (memory     consumption or system crash) via a flood of     packets.(CVE-2015-1465)

  - A flaw was found in the way the nft_flush_table()     function of the Linux kernel's netfilter tables     implementation flushed rules that were referencing     deleted chains. A local user who has the CAP_NET_ADMIN     capability could use this flaw to crash the     system.(CVE-2015-1573)

  - An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel randomized the stack for processes on certain     64-bit architecture systems, such as x86-64, causing     the stack entropy to be reduced by four.(CVE-2015-1593)

  - The ioresources_init function in kernel/resource.c in the Linux kernel through 4.7, as used in Android     before 2016-08-05 on Nexus 6 and 7 (2013) devices, uses weak permissions for /proc/iomem, which allows     local users to obtain sensitive information by reading this file, aka Android internal bug 28814213 and     Qualcomm internal bug CR786116. NOTE: the permissions may be intentional in most non-Android contexts.
    (CVE-2015-8944)

  - arch/arm64/kernel/perf_event.c in the Linux kernel before 4.1 on arm64 platforms allows local users to     gain privileges or cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference) via vectors involving events     that are mishandled during a span of multiple HW PMUs. (CVE-2015-8955)

  - Double free vulnerability in the sg_common_write function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux kernel before     4.4 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system     crash) by detaching a device during an SG_IO ioctl call. (CVE-2015-8962)

  - Race condition in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4 allows local users to gain     privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging incorrect handling of an swevent     data structure during a CPU unplug operation. (CVE-2015-8963)

  - The tty_set_termios_ldisc function in drivers/tty/tty_ldisc.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5 allows local     users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by reading a tty data structure. (CVE-2015-8964)

  - arch/arm/kernel/sys_oabi-compat.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4 allows local users to gain privileges via     a crafted (1) F_OFD_GETLK, (2) F_OFD_SETLK, or (3) F_OFD_SETLKW command in an fcntl64 system call.
    (CVE-2015-8966)

  - arch/arm64/kernel/sys.c in the Linux kernel before 4.0 allows local users to bypass the strict page     permissions protection mechanism and modify the system-call table, and consequently gain privileges, by     leveraging write access. (CVE-2015-8967)

  - The sg implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.9 does not properly restrict write operations in     situations where the KERNEL_DS option is set, which allows local users to read or write to arbitrary     kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging access to a /dev/sg     device, related to block/bsg.c and drivers/scsi/sg.c. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an     incomplete fix for CVE-2016-9576. (CVE-2016-10088)

  - sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11.5 is vulnerable to a data race in the ALSA     /dev/snd/timer driver resulting in local users being able to read information belonging to other users,     i.e., uninitialized memory contents may be disclosed when a read and an ioctl happen at the same time.
    (CVE-2017-1000380)

  - The vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl function in drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.10.7 does not validate certain levels data, which allows local users to cause a denial of     service (system hang) via a crafted ioctl call for a /dev/dri/renderD* device. (CVE-2017-7346)

  - The NFSv2 and NFSv3 server implementations in the Linux kernel through 4.10.13 lack certain checks for the     end of a buffer, which allows remote attackers to trigger pointer-arithmetic errors or possibly have     unspecified other impact via crafted requests, related to fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c and fs/nfsd/nfsxdr.c.
    (CVE-2017-7895)

  - The edge_bulk_in_callback function in drivers/usb/serial/io_ti.c in the Linux kernel before 4.10.4 allows     local users to obtain sensitive information (in the dmesg ringbuffer and syslog) from uninitialized kernel     memory by using a crafted USB device (posing as an io_ti USB serial device) to trigger an integer     underflow. (CVE-2017-8924)

  - The omninet_open function in drivers/usb/serial/omninet.c in the Linux kernel before 4.10.4 allows local     users to cause a denial of service (tty exhaustion) by leveraging reference count mishandling.
    (CVE-2017-8925)

  - The vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl function (accessible via DRM_IOCTL_VMW_GB_SURFACE_CREATE) in     drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.4 defines a backup_handle     variable but does not give it an initial value. If one attempts to create a GB surface, with a previously     allocated DMA buffer to be used as a backup buffer, the backup_handle variable does not get written to and     is then later returned to user space, allowing local users to obtain sensitive information from     uninitialized kernel memory via a crafted ioctl call. (CVE-2017-9605)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
