In fs/ocfs2/cluster/nodemanager.c in the Linux kernel before 4.15, local users can cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and BUG) because a required mutex is not used.

The remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address security updates:

  - In fs/ocfs2/cluster/nodemanager.c in the Linux kernel before 4.15, local users can cause a denial of     service (NULL pointer dereference and BUG) because a required mutex is not used. (CVE-2017-18216)

  - In pppol2tp_connect, there is possible memory corruption due to a use after free. This could lead to local     escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation. Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID: A-38159931. (CVE-2018-9517)

  - Linux kernel CIFS implementation, version 4.9.0 is vulnerable to a relative paths injection in directory     entry lists. (CVE-2019-10220)

  - Two memory leaks in the rtl_usb_probe() function in drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/usb.c in the     Linux kernel through 5.3.11 allow attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption), aka     CID-3f9361695113. (CVE-2019-19063)

  - A memory leak in the bfad_im_get_stats() function in drivers/scsi/bfa/bfad_attr.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering     bfa_port_get_stats() failures, aka CID-0e62395da2bd. (CVE-2019-19066)

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

  - In do_epoll_ctl and ep_loop_check_proc of eventpoll.c,     there is a possible use after free due to a logic     error. This could lead to local escalation of privilege     with no additional execution privileges needed. User     interaction is not needed for     exploitation.(CVE-2020-0466)

  - fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c in the Linux kernel through 5.10.8,     when there is an NFS export of a subdirectory of a     filesystem, allows remote attackers to traverse to     other parts of the filesystem via READDIRPLUS. NOTE:
    some parties argue that such a subdirectory export is     not intended to prevent this attack see also the     exports(5) no_subtree_check default     behavior.(CVE-2021-3178)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     5.11.3. A kernel pointer leak can be used to determine     the address of the iscsi_transport structure. When an     iSCSI transport is registered with the iSCSI subsystem,     the transport's handle is available to unprivileged     users via the sysfs file system, at     /sys/class/iscsi_transport/$TRANSPORT_NAME/handle. When     read, the show_transport_handle function (in     drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c) is called, which     leaks the handle. This handle is actually the pointer     to an iscsi_transport struct in the kernel module's     global variables.(CVE-2021-27363)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     5.11.3. drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c is     adversely affected by the ability of an unprivileged     user to craft Netlink messages.(CVE-2021-27364)

  - A race condition was found in the Linux kernels     implementation of the floppy disk drive controller     driver software. The impact of this issue is lessened     by the fact that the default permissions on the floppy     device (/dev/fd0) are restricted to root. If the     permissions on the device have changed the impact     changes greatly. In the default configuration root (or     equivalent) permissions are required to attack this     flaw.(CVE-2021-20261)

  - In fs/ocfs2/cluster/nodemanager.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.15, local users can cause a denial of service     (NULL pointer dereference and BUG) because a required     mutex is not used.(CVE-2017-18216)

  - 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)

  - A flaw was found in the way memory resources were freed     in the unix_stream_recvmsg function in the Linux kernel     when a signal was pending.

  - A flaw was found in the JFS filesystem code in the     Linux Kernel which allows a local attacker with the     ability to set extended attributes to panic the system,     causing memory corruption or escalating privileges. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality, integrity, as well as system     availability.(CVE-2020-27815)

  - An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in     x25_bind in net/x25/af_x25.c in the Linux kernel     version v5.12-rc5. A bounds check failure allows a     local attacker with a user account on the system to     gain access to out-of-bounds memory, leading to a     system crash or a leak of internal kernel information.
    The highest threat from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality, integrity, as well as system     availability.(CVE-2020-35519)

  - There is a flaw reported in the Linux kernel in     versions before 5.9 in     drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_sgdma.c in     nouveau_sgdma_create_ttm in Nouveau DRM subsystem. The     issue results from the lack of validating the existence     of an object prior to performing operations on the     object. An attacker with a local account with a root     privilege, can leverage this vulnerability to escalate     privileges and execute code in the context of the     kernel.(CVE-2021-20292)

  - In drivers/pci/hotplug/rpadlpar_sysfs.c in the Linux     kernel through 5.11.8, the RPA PCI Hotplug driver has a     user-tolerable buffer overflow when writing a new     device name to the driver from userspace, allowing     userspace to write data to the kernel stack frame     directly. This occurs because add_slot_store and     remove_slot_store mishandle drc_name '\0' termination,     aka CID-cc7a0bb058b8.(CVE-2021-28972)

  - A race condition was discovered in get_old_root in     fs/btrfs/ctree.c in the Linux kernel through 5.11.8. It     allows attackers to cause a denial of service (BUG)     because of a lack of locking on an extent buffer before     a cloning operation, aka     CID-dbcc7d57bffc.(CVE-2021-28964)

  - An issue was discovered in     fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_inode_buf.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.17.3. A denial of service (memory corruption     and BUG) can occur for a corrupted xfs image upon     encountering an inode that is in extent format, but has     more extents than fit in the inode     fork.(CVE-2018-13095)

  - 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 klsi_105_get_line_state function in     drivers/usb/serial/kl5kusb105.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.9.5 places uninitialized heap-memory contents     into a log entry upon a failure to read the line     status, which allows local users to obtain sensitive     information by reading the log.(CVE-2017-5549)

  - An integer overflow in the uvesafb_setcmap function in     drivers/video/fbdev/uvesafb.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.17.4 could result in local attackers being     able to crash the kernel or potentially elevate     privileges because kmalloc_array is not     used.(CVE-2018-13406)

  - In the Linux kernel before version 4.12, Kerberos 5     tickets decoded when using the RXRPC keys incorrectly     assumes the size of a field. This could lead to the     size-remaining variable wrapping and the data pointer     going over the end of the buffer. This could possibly     lead to memory corruption and possible privilege     escalation.(CVE-2017-7482)

  - drivers/net/usb/rtl8150.c in the Linux kernel 4.9.x     before 4.9.11 interacts incorrectly with the     CONFIG_VMAP_STACK option, which allows local users to     cause a denial of service (system crash or memory     corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact     by leveraging use of more than one virtual page for a     DMA scatterlist.(CVE-2017-8069)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     5.11.3. Certain iSCSI data structures do not have     appropriate length constraints or checks, and can     exceed the PAGE_SIZE value. An unprivileged user can     send a Netlink message that is associated with iSCSI,     and has a length up to the maximum length of a Netlink     message.(CVE-2021-27365)

  - A flaw was found in the Nosy driver in the Linux     kernel. This issue allows a device to be inserted twice     into a doubly-linked list, leading to a use-after-free     when one of these devices is removed.

On a locked down (usually due to Secure     Boot) guest system running on top of PowerVM or KVM     hypervisors (pseries platform) a root like local user     could use this flaw to further increase their     privileges to that of a running     kernel.(CVE-2020-27777)A information disclosure     vulnerability in the Upstream kernel encrypted-keys.
    Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID:
    A-70526974.(CVE-2017-13305)A race condition was found     in the Linux kernels implementation of the floppy disk     drive controller driver software. The impact of this     issue is lessened by the fact that the default     permissions on the floppy device (/dev/fd0) are     restricted to root. If the permissions on the device     have changed the impact changes greatly. In the default     configuration root (or equivalent) permissions are     required to attack this flaw.(CVE-2021-20261)An issue     was discovered in dlpar_parse_cc_property in     arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dlpar.c in the Linux     kernel through 5.1.6. There is an unchecked kstrdup of     prop->name, which might allow an attacker to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system     crash).(CVE-2019-12614)An issue was discovered in     fs/xfs/xfs_icache.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3.
    There is a NULL pointer dereference and panic in     lookup_slow() on a NULL inode->i_ops pointer when doing     pathwalks on a corrupted xfs image. This occurs because     of a lack of proper validation that cached inodes are     free during allocation.(CVE-2018-13093)An issue was     discovered in rds_tcp_kill_sock in net/rds/tcp.c in the     Linux kernel before 5.0.8. There is a race condition     leading to a use-after-free, related to net namespace     cleanup.(CVE-2019-11815)An issue was discovered in the     Linux kernel through 5.11.3. A kernel pointer leak can     be used to determine the address of the iscsi_transport     structure. When an iSCSI transport is registered with     the iSCSI subsystem, the transport's handle is     available to unprivileged users via the sysfs file     system, at     /sys/class/iscsi_transport/$TRANSPORT_NAME/handle. When     read, the show_transport_handle function (in     drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c) is called, which     leaks the handle. This handle is actually the pointer     to an iscsi_transport struct in the kernel module's     global variables.(CVE-2021-27363)An issue was     discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. Certain     iSCSI data structures do not have appropriate length     constraints or checks, and can exceed the PAGE_SIZE     value. An unprivileged user can send a Netlink message     that is associated with iSCSI, and has a length up to     the maximum length of a Netlink     message.(CVE-2021-27365)An issue was discovered in the     Linux kernel through 5.11.3.
    drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c is adversely     affected by the ability of an unprivileged user to     craft Netlink messages.(CVE-2021-27364)An issue was     discovered in yurex_read in drivers/usb/misc/yurex.c in     the Linux kernel before 4.17.7. Local attackers could     use user access read/writes with incorrect bounds     checking in the yurex USB driver to crash the kernel or     potentially escalate     privileges.(CVE-2018-16276)drivers/infiniband/core/ucma     .c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.11 allows     ucma_leave_multicast to access a certain data structure     after a cleanup step in ucma_process_join, which allows     attackers to cause a denial of service     (use-after-free).(CVE-2018-14734)In create_pinctrl of     core.c, there is a possible out of bounds read due to a     use after free.

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 :

  - An information-leak vulnerability was found in the     kernel when it truncated a file to a smaller size which     consisted of an inline extent that was compressed. The     data between the new file size and the old file size     was not discarded and the number of bytes used by the     inode were not correctly decremented, which gave the     wrong report for callers of the stat(2) syscall. This     wasted metadata space and allowed for the truncated     data to be leaked, and data corruption or loss to     occur. A caller of the clone ioctl could exploit this     flaw by using only standard file-system operations     without root access to read the truncated     data.(CVE-2015-8374i1/4%0

  - crypto/pcrypt.c in the Linux kernel, before 4.14.13,     mishandles freeing instances, allowing a local user     able to access the AF_ALG-based AEAD interface     (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_AEAD) and pcrypt     (CONFIG_CRYPTO_PCRYPT) to cause a denial of service     (kfree of an incorrect pointer) or possibly have     unspecified other impact by executing a crafted     sequence of system calls. Due to the nature of the     flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out,     although we believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2017-18075i1/4%0

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the Qualcomm     Wi-Fi driver could enable a local malicious application     to execute arbitrary code within the context of the     kernel. This issue is rated as High because it first     requires compromising a privileged process. Product:
    Android. Versions: N/A. Android ID: A-32835279.
    References: QC-CR#1096945.(CVE-2017-0523i1/4%0

  - The saa7164_bus_get function in     drivers/media/pci/saa7164/saa7164-bus.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.10.14 allows local users to cause a     denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or     possibly have unspecified other impact by changing a     certain sequence-number value, aka a 'double fetch'     vulnerability.(CVE-2017-8831i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's splice()     system call validated its parameters. On certain file     systems, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw     to write past the maximum file size, and thus crash the     system.(CVE-2014-7822i1/4%0

  - The vc4_get_bcl function in     drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_gem.c in the VideoCore DRM     driver in the Linux kernel before 4.9.7 does not set an     errno value upon certain overflow detections allowing     local users to cause a denial of service (incorrect     pointer dereference and OOPS) via inconsistent size     values in a VC4_SUBMIT_CL ioctl call.(CVE-2017-5577i1/4%0

  - In fs/ocfs2/cluster/nodemanager.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.15, local users can cause a denial of service     (NULL pointer dereference and BUG) because a required     mutex is not used.(CVE-2017-18216i1/4%0

  - A race condition issue leading to a use-after-free flaw     was found in the way the raw packet sockets     implementation in the Linux kernel networking subsystem     handled synchronization while creating the TPACKET_V3     ring buffer. A local user able to open a raw packet     socket (requires the CAP_NET_RAW capability) could use     this flaw to elevate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2016-8655i1/4%0

  - An exploitable memory corruption flaw was found in the     Linux kernel. The append path can be erroneously     switched from UFO to non-UFO in ip_ufo_append_data()     when building an UFO packet with MSG_MORE option. If     unprivileged user namespaces are available, this flaw     can be exploited to gain root     privileges.(CVE-2017-1000112i1/4%0

  - A security flaw was found in the Linux kernel in a way     that the cleancache subsystem clears an inode after the     final file truncation (removal). The new file created     with the same inode may contain leftover pages from     cleancache and the old file data instead of the new     one.(CVE-2018-16862i1/4%0

  - arch/arm64/ include /asm/pgtable.h in the Linux kernel     before 3.15-rc5-next-20140519, as used in Android     before 2016-07-05 on Nexus 5X and 6P devices,     mishandles execute-only pages, which allows attackers     to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka     Android internal bug 28557020.(CVE-2014-9803i1/4%0

  - A heap-buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the     arcmsr_iop_message_xfer() function in     'drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c' file in the Linux     kernel through 4.8.2. The function does not restrict a     certain length field, which allows local users to gain     privileges or cause a denial of service via an     ARCMSR_MESSAGE_WRITE_WQBUFFER control code. This can     potentially cause kernel heap corruption and arbitrary     kernel code execution.(CVE-2016-7425i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     4.18.11. The ipddp_ioctl function in     drivers/net/appletalk/ipddp.c allows local users to     obtain sensitive kernel address information by     leveraging CAP_NET_ADMIN to read the ipddp_route dev     and next fields via an SIOCFINDIPDDPRT ioctl     call.(CVE-2018-20511i1/4%0

  - A memory leak in the irda_bind function in     net/irda/af_irda.c in the Linux kernel, through 4.16,     allows local users to cause a denial of service due to     a memory consumption by repeatedly binding an AF_IRDA     socket.(CVE-2018-6554i1/4%0

  - sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4.1     employs a locking approach that does not consider slave     timer instances, which allows local users to cause a     denial of service (race condition, use-after-free, and     system crash) via a crafted ioctl     call.(CVE-2016-2547i1/4%0

  - Buffer overflow in the complete_emulated_mmio function     in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13.6     allows guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on the     host OS by leveraging a loop that triggers an invalid     memory copy affecting certain cancel_work_item     data.(CVE-2014-0049i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the F2FS filesystem code in     the Linux kernel in fs/f2fs/inode.c. A denial of     service due to a slab out-of-bounds read can occur for     a crafted f2fs filesystem image in which FI_EXTRA_ATTR     is set in an inode.(CVE-2018-13098i1/4%0

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel where     having malicious IP options present would cause the     ipv4_pktinfo_prepare() function to drop/free the dst.
    This could result in a system crash or possible     privilege escalation.(CVE-2017-5970i1/4%0

  - In the Linux kernel's vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl()     function, in 'drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c'     file, a 'req-i1/4zmip_levels' is a user-controlled value     which is later used as a loop count limit. This allows     local unprivileged user to cause a denial of service by     a kernel lockup via a crafted ioctl call for a     '/dev/dri/renderD*' device.(CVE-2017-7346i1/4%0

  - It was found that the NFSv4 server in the Linux kernel     did not properly validate layout type when processing     NFSv4 pNFS LAYOUTGET and GETDEVICEINFO operands. A     remote attacker could use this flaw to soft-lockup the     system and thus cause denial of     service.(CVE-2017-8797i1/4%0

An update of the linux package has been released.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3798-1 advisory.

  - The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.4 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial     of service (BUG) via crafted keyctl commands that negatively instantiate a key, related to     security/keys/encrypted-keys/encrypted.c, security/keys/trusted.c, and security/keys/user_defined.c.
    (CVE-2015-8539)

  - The xc2028_set_config function in drivers/media/tuners/tuner-xc2028.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6     allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via vectors involving     omission of the firmware name from a certain data structure. (CVE-2016-7913)

  - A elevation of privilege vulnerability in the Upstream kernel scsi driver. Product: Android. Versions:
    Android kernel. Android ID: A-35644812. (CVE-2017-0794)

  - The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.13.7 mishandles use of add_key for a key that already     exists but is uninstantiated, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted system call.
    (CVE-2017-15299)

  - In fs/ocfs2/cluster/nodemanager.c in the Linux kernel before 4.15, local users can cause a denial of     service (NULL pointer dereference and BUG) because a required mutex is not used. (CVE-2017-18216)

  - In the Linux kernel 4.12, 3.10, 2.6 and possibly earlier versions a race condition vulnerability exists in     the sound system, this can lead to a deadlock and denial of service condition. (CVE-2018-1000004)

  - The Linux kernel 4.15 has a Buffer Overflow via an SNDRV_SEQ_IOCTL_SET_CLIENT_POOL ioctl write operation     to /dev/snd/seq by a local user. (CVE-2018-7566)

  - In nfc_llcp_build_sdreq_tlv of llcp_commands.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing     bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed.
    User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID:
    A-73083945. (CVE-2018-9518)

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

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3776-2 advisory.

  - In fs/ocfs2/cluster/nodemanager.c in the Linux kernel before 4.15, local users can cause a denial of     service (NULL pointer dereference and BUG) because a required mutex is not used. (CVE-2017-18216)

  - It was found that the raw midi kernel driver does not protect against concurrent access which leads to a     double realloc (double free) in snd_rawmidi_input_params() and snd_rawmidi_output_status() which are part     of snd_rawmidi_ioctl() handler in rawmidi.c file. A malicious local attacker could possibly use this for     privilege escalation. (CVE-2018-10902)

  - A security flaw was found in the chap_server_compute_md5() function in the ISCSI target code in the Linux     kernel in a way an authentication request from an ISCSI initiator is processed. An unauthenticated remote     attacker can cause a stack buffer overflow and smash up to 17 bytes of the stack. The attack requires the     iSCSI target to be enabled on the victim host. Depending on how the target's code was built (i.e.
    depending on a compiler, compile flags and hardware architecture) an attack may lead to a system crash and     thus to a denial-of-service or possibly to a non-authorized access to data exported by an iSCSI target.
    Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is     highly unlikely. Kernel versions 4.18.x, 4.14.x and 3.10.x are believed to be vulnerable. (CVE-2018-14633)

  - The spectre_v2_select_mitigation function in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c in the Linux kernel before 4.18.1     does not always fill RSB upon a context switch, which makes it easier for attackers to conduct userspace-     userspace spectreRSB attacks. (CVE-2018-15572)

  - arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c in the Linux kernel before 4.18.1 mishandles certain indirect calls, which     makes it easier for attackers to conduct Spectre-v2 attacks against paravirtual guests. (CVE-2018-15594)

  - An issue was discovered in yurex_read in drivers/usb/misc/yurex.c in the Linux kernel before 4.17.7. Local     attackers could use user access read/writes with incorrect bounds checking in the yurex USB driver to     crash the kernel or potentially escalate privileges. (CVE-2018-16276)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.18.8. The vmacache_flush_all function in     mm/vmacache.c mishandles sequence number overflows. An attacker can trigger a use-after-free (and possibly     gain privileges) via certain thread creation, map, unmap, invalidation, and dereference operations.
    (CVE-2018-17182)

  - Memory leak in the irda_bind function in net/irda/af_irda.c and later in     drivers/staging/irda/net/af_irda.c in the Linux kernel before 4.17 allows local users to cause a denial of     service (memory consumption) by repeatedly binding an AF_IRDA socket. (CVE-2018-6554)

  - The irda_setsockopt function in net/irda/af_irda.c and later in drivers/staging/irda/net/af_irda.c in the     Linux kernel before 4.17 allows local users to cause a denial of service (ias_object use-after-free and     system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an AF_IRDA socket. (CVE-2018-6555)

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

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3776-1 advisory.

  - In fs/ocfs2/cluster/nodemanager.c in the Linux kernel before 4.15, local users can cause a denial of     service (NULL pointer dereference and BUG) because a required mutex is not used. (CVE-2017-18216)

  - It was found that the raw midi kernel driver does not protect against concurrent access which leads to a     double realloc (double free) in snd_rawmidi_input_params() and snd_rawmidi_output_status() which are part     of snd_rawmidi_ioctl() handler in rawmidi.c file. A malicious local attacker could possibly use this for     privilege escalation. (CVE-2018-10902)

  - A security flaw was found in the chap_server_compute_md5() function in the ISCSI target code in the Linux     kernel in a way an authentication request from an ISCSI initiator is processed. An unauthenticated remote     attacker can cause a stack buffer overflow and smash up to 17 bytes of the stack. The attack requires the     iSCSI target to be enabled on the victim host. Depending on how the target's code was built (i.e.
    depending on a compiler, compile flags and hardware architecture) an attack may lead to a system crash and     thus to a denial-of-service or possibly to a non-authorized access to data exported by an iSCSI target.
    Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is     highly unlikely. Kernel versions 4.18.x, 4.14.x and 3.10.x are believed to be vulnerable. (CVE-2018-14633)

  - The spectre_v2_select_mitigation function in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c in the Linux kernel before 4.18.1     does not always fill RSB upon a context switch, which makes it easier for attackers to conduct userspace-     userspace spectreRSB attacks. (CVE-2018-15572)

  - arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c in the Linux kernel before 4.18.1 mishandles certain indirect calls, which     makes it easier for attackers to conduct Spectre-v2 attacks against paravirtual guests. (CVE-2018-15594)

  - An issue was discovered in yurex_read in drivers/usb/misc/yurex.c in the Linux kernel before 4.17.7. Local     attackers could use user access read/writes with incorrect bounds checking in the yurex USB driver to     crash the kernel or potentially escalate privileges. (CVE-2018-16276)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.18.8. The vmacache_flush_all function in     mm/vmacache.c mishandles sequence number overflows. An attacker can trigger a use-after-free (and possibly     gain privileges) via certain thread creation, map, unmap, invalidation, and dereference operations.
    (CVE-2018-17182)

  - Memory leak in the irda_bind function in net/irda/af_irda.c and later in     drivers/staging/irda/net/af_irda.c in the Linux kernel before 4.17 allows local users to cause a denial of     service (memory consumption) by repeatedly binding an AF_IRDA socket. (CVE-2018-6554)

  - The irda_setsockopt function in net/irda/af_irda.c and later in drivers/staging/irda/net/af_irda.c in the     Linux kernel before 4.17 allows local users to cause a denial of service (ias_object use-after-free and     system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an AF_IRDA socket.

  - CVE-2018-7995     Seunghun Han reported a race condition in the x86 MCE     (Machine Check Exception) driver. This is unlikely to     have any security impact.

  - CVE-2018-8781     Eyal Itkin reported that the udl (DisplayLink) driver's     mmap operation did not properly range-check the file     offset. A local user with access to a udl framebuffer     device could exploit this to overwrite kernel memory,     leading to privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2018-8822     Dr Silvio Cesare of InfoSect reported that the ncpfs     client implementation did not validate reply lengths     from the server. An ncpfs server could use this to cause     a denial of service or remote code execution in the     client.

  - CVE-2018-1000004     Luo Quan reported a race condition in the ALSA (sound)     sequencer core, between multiple ioctl operations. This     could lead to a deadlock or use-after-free. A local user     with access to a sequencer device could use this for     denial of service or possibly for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2018-1000199     Andy Lutomirski discovered that the ptrace subsystem did     not sufficiently validate hardware breakpoint settings.
    Local users can use this to cause a denial of service,     or possibly for privilege escalation, on x86 (amd64 and     i386) and possibly other architectures.
