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 :

  - A flaw named FragmentSmack was found in the way the     Linux kernel handled reassembly of fragmented IPv4 and     IPv6 packets. A remote attacker could use this flaw to     trigger time and calculation expensive fragment     reassembly algorithm by sending specially crafted     packets which could lead to a CPU saturation and hence     a denial of service on the system.(CVE-2018-5391i1/4%0

  - Multiple out-of-bounds write flaws were found in the     way the Cherry Cymotion keyboard driver, KYE/Genius     device drivers, Logitech device drivers, Monterey     Genius KB29E keyboard driver, Petalynx Maxter remote     control driver, and Sunplus wireless desktop driver     handled HID reports with an invalid report descriptor     size. An attacker with physical access to the system     could use either of these flaws to write data past an     allocated memory buffer.(CVE-2014-3184i1/4%0

  - The __get_data_block function in fs/f2fs/data.c in the     Linux kernel before 4.11 allows local users to cause a     denial of service (integer overflow and loop) via     crafted use of the open and fallocate system calls with     an FS_IOC_FIEMAP ioctl.(CVE-2017-18257i1/4%0

  - net/netfilter/xt_osf.c in the Linux kernel through     4.14.4 does not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     for add_callback and remove_callback operations. This     allows local users to bypass intended access     restrictions because the xt_osf_fingers data structure     is shared across all network     namespaces.(CVE-2017-17450i1/4%0

  - A denial of service flaw was discovered in the Linux     kernel, where a race condition caused a NULL pointer     dereference in the RDS socket-creation code. A local     attacker could use this flaw to create a situation in     which a NULL pointer crashed the     kernel.(CVE-2015-7990i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     4.19.9. The USB subsystem mishandles size checks during     the reading of an extra descriptor, related to
    __usb_get_extra_descriptor in     drivers/usb/core/usb.c.(CVE-2018-20169i1/4%0

  - mm/memory.c in the Linux kernel before 4.1.4 mishandles     anonymous pages, which allows local users to gain     privileges or cause a denial of service (page tainting)     via a crafted application that triggers writing to page     zero.(CVE-2015-3288i1/4%0

  - The ovl_setattr function in fs/overlayfs/inode.c in the     Linux kernel through 4.3.3 attempts to merge distinct     setattr operations, which allows local users to bypass     intended access restrictions and modify the attributes     of arbitrary overlay files via a crafted     application.(CVE-2015-8660i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel where a local user     with a shell account can abuse the userfaultfd syscall     when using hugetlbfs. A missing size check in     hugetlb_mcopy_atomic_pte could create an invalid inode     variable, leading to a kernel panic.(CVE-2017-15128i1/4%0

  - An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the     lzo1x_decompress_safe() function of the Linux kernel's     LZO implementation processed Literal Runs. A local     attacker could, in extremely rare cases, use this flaw     to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their     privileges on the system.(CVE-2014-4608i1/4%0

  - It was found that Linux kernel's ptrace subsystem did     not properly sanitize the address-space-control bits     when the program-status word (PSW) was being set. On     IBM S/390 systems, a local, unprivileged user could use     this flaw to set address-space-control bits to the     kernel space, and thus gain read and write access to     kernel memory.(CVE-2014-3534i1/4%0

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's     file system encryption implementation. A local user     could revoke keyring keys being used for ext4, f2fs, or     ubifs encryption, causing a denial of service on the     system.(CVE-2017-7374i1/4%0

  - The usbip_recv_xbuff function in     drivers/usb/usbip/usbip_common.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.5.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (out-of-bounds write) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted length value in     a USB/IP packet.(CVE-2016-3955i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the patches used to fix the     'dirtycow' vulnerability (CVE-2016-5195). An attacker,     able to run local code, can exploit a race condition in     transparent huge pages to modify usually read-only huge     pages.(CVE-2017-1000405i1/4%0

  - The aio_mount function in fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel     does not properly restrict execute access, which makes     it easier for local users to bypass intended SELinux     W^X policy restrictions.(CVE-2016-10044i1/4%0

  - The Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) implementation in the     Linux kernel mishandles a mutex within libsas. This     allows local users to cause a denial of service     (deadlock) by triggering certain error-handling     code.(CVE-2017-18232i1/4%0

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in     tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue and other tcp_* functions.
    This condition could allow an attacker to send an     incorrect selective acknowledgment to existing     connections, possibly resetting a     connection.(CVE-2016-6828i1/4%0

  - The instruction decoder in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in     the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.18-rc2     does not properly handle invalid instructions, which     allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service     (NULL pointer dereference and host OS crash) via a     crafted application that triggers (1) an improperly     fetched instruction or (2) an instruction that occupies     too many bytes. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because     of an incomplete fix for     CVE-2014-8480.(CVE-2014-8481i1/4%0

  - The snd_compress_check_input function in     sound/core/compress_offload.c in the ALSA subsystem in     the Linux kernel before 3.17 does not properly check     for an integer overflow, which allows local users to     cause a denial of service (insufficient memory     allocation) or possibly have unspecified other impact     via a crafted SNDRV_COMPRESS_SET_PARAMS ioctl     call.(CVE-2014-9904i1/4%0

  - The resv_map_release function in mm/hugetlb.c in the     Linux kernel, through 4.15.7, allows local users to     cause a denial of service (BUG) via a crafted     application that makes mmap system calls and has a     large pgoff argument to the remap_file_pages system     call.(CVE-2018-7740i1/4%0

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

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

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's key management subsystem handled keyring     object reference counting in certain error path of the     join_session_keyring() function. A local, unprivileged     user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges     on the system.(CVE-2016-0728)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's ASN.1     DER decoder processed certain certificate files with     tags of indefinite length. A local, unprivileged user     could use a specially crafted X.509 certificate DER     file to crash the system or, potentially, escalate     their privileges on the system.(CVE-2016-0758)

  - The LIST_POISON feature in include/linux/poison.h in     the Linux kernel before 4.3, as used in Android 6.0.1     before 2016-03-01, does not properly consider the     relationship to the mmap_min_addr value, which makes it     easier for attackers to bypass a poison-pointer     protection mechanism by triggering the use of an     uninitialized list entry, aka Android internal bug     26186802, a different vulnerability than     CVE-2015-3636.(CVE-2016-0821)

  - The pagemap_open function in fs/proc/task_mmu.c in the     Linux kernel before 3.19.3, as used in Android 6.0.1     before 2016-03-01, allows local users to obtain     sensitive physical-address information by reading a     pagemap file, aka Android internal bug     25739721.(CVE-2016-0823)

  - The aio_mount function in fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel     does not properly restrict execute access, which makes     it easier for local users to bypass intended SELinux     W^X policy restrictions.(CVE-2016-10044)

  - It was found that the fix for CVE-2016-9576 was     incomplete: the Linux kernel's sg implementation did     not properly restrict write operations in situations     where the KERNEL_DS option is set. A local attacker to     read or write to arbitrary kernel memory locations or     cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by     leveraging write access to a /dev/sg     device.(CVE-2016-10088)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel     which enables a race condition in the L2TPv3 IP     Encapsulation feature. A local user could use this flaw     to escalate their privileges or crash the     system.(CVE-2016-10200)

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

  - The Linux kernel allows remote attackers to execute     arbitrary code via UDP traffic that triggers an unsafe     second checksum calculation during execution of a recv     system call with the MSG_PEEK flag. This may create a     kernel panic or memory corruption leading to privilege     escalation.(CVE-2016-10229)

  - The overlayfs implementation in the Linux kernel     through 4.5.2 does not properly maintain POSIX ACL     xattr data, which allows local users to gain privileges     by leveraging a group-writable setgid     directory.(CVE-2016-1575)

  - The overlayfs implementation in the Linux kernel     through 4.5.2 does not properly restrict the mount     namespace, which allows local users to gain privileges     by mounting an overlayfs filesystem on top of a FUSE     filesystem, and then executing a crafted setuid     program.(CVE-2016-1576)

  - A syntax vulnerability was discovered in the kernel's     ASN1.1 DER decoder, which could lead to memory     corruption or a complete local denial of service     through x509 certificate DER files. A local system user     could use a specially created key file to trigger     BUG_ON() in the public_key_verify_signature() function     (crypto/asymmetric_keys/public_key.c), to cause a     kernel panic and crash the system.(CVE-2016-2053)

  - A flaw was discovered in the way the Linux kernel dealt     with paging structures. When the kernel invalidated a     paging structure that was not in use locally, it could,     in principle, race against another CPU that is     switching to a process that uses the paging structure     in question. A local user could use a thread running     with a stale cached virtual-i1/4zphysical translation to     potentially escalate their privileges if the     translation in question were writable and the physical     page got reused for something critical (for example, a     page table).(CVE-2016-2069)

  - A divide-by-zero vulnerability was found in a way the     kernel processes TCP connections. The error can occur     if a connection starts another cwnd reduction phase by     setting tp-i1/4zprior_cwnd to the current cwnd (0) in     tcp_init_cwnd_reduction(). A remote, unauthenticated     attacker could use this flaw to crash the kernel     (denial of service).(CVE-2016-2070)

  - It was discovered that the atl2_probe() function in the     Atheros L2 Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel     incorrectly enabled scatter/gather I/O. A remote     attacker could use this flaw to obtain potentially     sensitive information from the kernel     memory.(CVE-2016-2117)

  - The create_fixed_stream_quirk function in     sound/usb/quirks.c in the snd-usb-audio driver in the     Linux kernel before 4.5.1 allows physically proximate     attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference or double free, and system crash) via a     crafted endpoints value in a USB device     descriptor.(CVE-2016-2184)

  - The ati_remote2_probe function in     drivers/input/misc/ati_remote2.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.5.1 allows physically proximate attackers to     cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and     system crash) via a crafted endpoints value in a USB     device descriptor.(CVE-2016-2185)

  - The powermate_probe function in     drivers/input/misc/powermate.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.5.1 allows physically proximate attackers to     cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and     system crash) via a crafted endpoints value in a USB     device descriptor.(CVE-2016-2186)

  - The gtco_probe function in drivers/input/tablet/gtco.c     in the Linux kernel through 4.5.2 allows physically     proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL     pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted     endpoints value in a USB device     descriptor.(CVE-2016-2187)

  - The iowarrior_probe function in     drivers/usb/misc/iowarrior.c in the Linux kernel before     4.5.1 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system     crash) via a crafted endpoints value in a USB device     descriptor.(CVE-2016-2188)

  - A flaw was found in the USB-MIDI Linux kernel driver: a     double-free error could be triggered for the 'umidi'     object. An attacker with physical access to the system     could use this flaw to escalate their     privileges.(CVE-2016-2384)

  - The snd_seq_ioctl_remove_events function in     sound/core/seq/seq_clientmgr.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.4.1 does not verify FIFO assignment before     proceeding with FIFO clearing, which allows local users     to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference     and OOPS) via a crafted ioctl call.(CVE-2016-2543)

  - Race condition in the queue_delete function in     sound/core/seq/seq_queue.c in the Linux kernel before     4.4.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service     (use-after-free and system crash) by making an ioctl     call at a certain time.(CVE-2016-2544)

  - CVE-2017-7308: The packet_set_ring function in     net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel did not     properly validate certain block-size data, which allowed     local users to cause a denial of service (overflow) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted     system calls (bnc#1031579).

  - CVE-2017-7616: Incorrect error handling in the     set_mempolicy and mbind compat syscalls in     mm/mempolicy.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users     to obtain sensitive information from uninitialized stack     data by triggering failure of a certain bitmap operation     (bnc#1033336).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.
