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 :

  - In the Linux kernel through 4.19, a use-after-free can     occur due to a race condition between fanout_add from     setsockopt and bind on an AF_PACKET socket. This issue     exists because of the     15fe076edea787807a7cdc168df832544b58eba6 incomplete fix     for a race condition. The code mishandles a certain     multithreaded case involving a packet_do_bind     unregister action followed by a packet_notifier     register action. Later, packet_release operates on only     one of the two applicable linked lists. The attacker     can achieve Program Counter control.(CVE-2018-18559i1/4%0

  - The acpi_ns_terminate() function in     drivers/acpi/acpica/nsutils.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.12 does not flush the operand cache and causes     a kernel stack dump. A local users could obtain     sensitive information from kernel memory and bypass the     KASLR protection mechanism (in the kernel through 4.9)     via a crafted ACPI table.(CVE-2017-11472i1/4%0

  - Race condition in net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux     kernel allows local users to cause a denial of service     (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other     impact via a multithreaded application that makes     PACKET_FANOUT setsockopt system calls.(CVE-2017-6346i1/4%0

  - Multiple race conditions in ipc/shm.c in the Linux     kernel before 3.12.2 allow local users to cause a     denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted     application that uses shmctl IPC_RMID operations in     conjunction with other shm system     calls.(CVE-2013-7026i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel. A NULL     pointer dereference and panic in hfsplus_lookup() in     the fs/hfsplus/dir.c function can occur when opening a     file (that is purportedly a hard link) in an hfs+     filesystem that has malformed catalog data, and is     mounted read-only without a metadata     directory.(CVE-2018-14617i1/4%0

  - The treo_attach function in drivers/usb/serial/visor.c     in the Linux kernel before 4.5 allows physically     proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL     pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact by inserting a USB device that     lacks a (1) bulk-in or (2) interrupt-in     endpoint.(CVE-2016-2782i1/4%0

  - An information-exposure flaw was found in the Linux     kernel where the pcpu_embed_first_chunk() function in     mm/percpu.c allows local users to obtain kernel-object     address information by reading the kernel log (dmesg).
    However, this address is not static and cannot be used     to commit a further attack.(CVE-2018-5995i1/4%0

  - Buffer overflow in net/ceph/auth_x.c in Ceph, as used     in the Linux kernel before 3.16.3, allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (memory     corruption and panic) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via a long unencrypted auth     ticket.(CVE-2014-6416i1/4%0

  - It was found that the Linux kernel's ptrace subsystem     allowed a traced process' instruction pointer to be set     to a non-canonical memory address without forcing the     non-sysret code path when returning to user space. A     local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash     the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges     on the system.Note: The CVE-2014-4699 issue only     affected systems using an Intel CPU.(CVE-2014-4699i1/4%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)

  - 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)

    * An information leak flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Virtual     Dynamic Shared Object (vDSO) implementation performed address     randomization. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to leak     kernel memory addresses to user-space. (CVE-2014-9585, Low)

    Red Hat would like to thank Daniel Borkmann for reporting CVE-2015-4700,     and Canonical for reporting the CVE-2015-1333 issue. The CVE-2015-0275     issue was discovered by Xiong Zhou of Red Hat, and the CVE-2015-3212 issue     was discovered by Ji Jianwen of Red Hat Engineering.

    The kernel-rt packages have been upgraded to version 3.10.0-229.13.1, which     provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version,     including:

    * Fix regression in scsi_send_eh_cmnd()

    * boot hangs at Console: switching to colour dummy device 80x25

    * Update tcp stack to 3.17 kernel

    * Missing some code from patch (...) Fix VGA switcheroo problem related to     hotplug

    * ksoftirqd high CPU usage due to stray tasklet from ioatdma driver

    * During Live Partition Mobility (LPM) testing, RHEL 7.1 LPARs will crash     in kmem_cache_alloc

    (BZ#1253809)

    This update also fixes the following bug:

    * The hwlat_detector.ko module samples the clock and records any intervals     between reads that exceed a specified threshold. However, the module     previously tracked the maximum interval seen for the inner interval but     did not record when the outer interval was greater. A patch has been     applied to fix this bug, and hwlat_detector.ko now correctly records if the     outer interval is the maximal interval encountered during the run.
    (BZ#1252365)

    All kernel-rt users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which     correct these issues and add these enhancements. The system must be     rebooted for this update to take effect.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2015:1787 advisory.

    The kernel-rt packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux     operating system.

    * Two flaws were found in the way the Linux kernel's networking     implementation handled UDP packets with incorrect checksum values. A remote     attacker could potentially use these flaws to trigger an infinite loop in     the kernel, resulting in a denial of service on the system, or cause a     denial of service in applications using the edge triggered epoll     functionality. (CVE-2015-5364, CVE-2015-5366, Important)

    * A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's ext4 file system handled     the page size > 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, Moderate)

    * 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.

    Red Hat would like to thank Canonical for reporting the CVE-2015-1333     issue. The CVE-2015-0275 issue was discovered by Xiong Zhou of Red Hat, and     the CVE-2015-3212 issue was discovered by Ji Jianwen of Red Hat     Engineering.

    This update provides a build of the kernel-rt package for Red Hat     Enterprise MRG 2.5 that is layered on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, and fixes     the following issues:

    * Fix regression in scsi_send_eh_cmnd()

    * boot hangs at Console: switching to colour dummy device 80x25

    * Update tcp stack to 3.17 kernel

    * ksoftirqd high CPU usage due to stray tasklet from ioatdma driver

    (BZ#1245345)

    This update also fixes the following bugs:

    * The configuration option CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS was disabled on the realtime     kernel causing the RTC clock to be adjusted with the UTC time even if the     system is configured to set the RTC to the local time. By enabling the     CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS configuration option, when the system is configured to     use local time, RTC will correctly update with the local time and not try     to use another timezone. (BZ#1248047)

    * In the realtime kernel, if a rt_mutex was taken while in interrupt     context the normal priority inheritance protocol would falsely identify a     deadlock and trigger a kernel crash. The patch that added the rt_mutex in     this interrupt context was reverted. (BZ#1250649)

    All kernel-rt users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which     correct these issues and add these enhancements. The system must be     rebooted for this update to take effect.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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

* A flaw was found in the kernel's implementation of the Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF). A local attacker could craft BPF code to crash the system by creating a situation in which the JIT compiler would fail to correctly optimize the JIT image on the last pass. This would lead to the CPU executing instructions that were not part of the JIT code. (CVE-2015-4700, Important)

* Two flaws were found in the way the Linux kernel's networking implementation handled UDP packets with incorrect checksum values. A remote attacker could potentially use these flaws to trigger an infinite loop in the kernel, resulting in a denial of service on the system, or cause a denial of service in applications using the edge triggered epoll functionality. (CVE-2015-5364, CVE-2015-5366, Important)

The Linux kernel was updated to fix bugs and security issues :

Following security issues were fixed: CVE-2015-2830: A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernels 32-bit emulation implementation handled forking or closing of a task with an int80 entry. A local user could have potentially used this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system.

CVE-2015-2042: A kernel information leak in rds sysctl files was fixed.

CVE-2014-9683: Off-by-one error in the ecryptfs_decode_from_filename function in fs/ecryptfs/crypto.c in the eCryptfs subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and system crash) or possibly gain privileges via a crafted filename.

CVE-2015-0275: A BUG_ON in ext4 was fixed which could be triggered by local users.

CVE-2015-2666: A buffer overflow when loading microcode files into the kernel could be used by the administrator to execute code in the kernel, bypassing secure boot measures.

  - CVE-2015-1421: Use-after-free vulnerability in the     sctp_assoc_update function in net/sctp/associola.c in     the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (slab corruption and panic) or     possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering an     INIT collision that leads to improper handling of     shared-key data.

  - CVE-2015-2150: XSA-120: Guests were permitted to modify     all bits of the PCI command register of passed through     cards, which could lead to Host system crashes.

  - CVE-2015-0777: The XEN usb backend could leak     information to the guest system due to copying     uninitialized memory.

  - CVE-2015-1593: A integer overflow reduced the     effectiveness of the stack randomization on 64-bit     systems.

  - CVE-2014-9419: The __switch_to function in     arch/x86/kernel/process_64.c in the Linux kernel did not     ensure that Thread Local Storage (TLS) descriptors are     loaded before proceeding with other steps, which made it     easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection     mechanism via a crafted application that reads a TLS     base address.

  - CVE-2014-9428: The batadv_frag_merge_packets function in     net/batman-adv/fragmentation.c in the B.A.T.M.A.N.
    implementation in the Linux kernel used an incorrect     length field during a calculation of an amount of     memory, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (mesh-node system crash) via fragmented     packets.

  - CVE-2014-8160:
    net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto_generic.c in the Linux     kernel generated incorrect conntrack entries during     handling of certain iptables rule sets for the SCTP,     DCCP, GRE, and UDP-Lite protocols, which allowed remote     attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via     packets with disallowed port numbers.

  - CVE-2014-9529: Race condition in the key_gc_unused_keys     function in security/keys/gc.c in the Linux kernel     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory     corruption or panic) or possibly have unspecified other     impact via keyctl commands that trigger access to a key     structure member during garbage collection of a key.

  - CVE-2014-9420: The rock_continue function in     fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel did not restrict the     number of Rock Ridge continuation entries, which allowed     local users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop,     and system crash or hang) via a crafted iso9660 image.

  - CVE-2014-9584: The parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal     function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel did not     validate a length value in the Extensions Reference (ER)     System Use Field, which allowed local users to obtain     sensitive information from kernel memory via a crafted     iso9660 image.

  - CVE-2014-9585: The vdso_addr function in     arch/x86/vdso/vma.c in the Linux kernel did not properly     choose memory locations for the vDSO area, which made it     easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection     mechanism by guessing a location at the end of a PMD.

  - CVE-2014-8559: The d_walk function in fs/dcache.c in the     Linux kernel through did not properly maintain the     semantics of rename_lock, which allowed local users to     cause a denial of service (deadlock and system hang) via     a crafted application.

  - CVE-2014-8134: The paravirt_ops_setup function in     arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c in the Linux kernel used an     improper paravirt_enabled setting for KVM guest kernels,     which made it easier for guest OS users to bypass the     ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application that     reads a 16-bit value.
