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 :

  - The uas driver in the Linux kernel before 4.13.6 allows     local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds     read and system crash), or possibly have unspecified     other impacts via a crafted USB device, related to     drivers/usb/storage/uas-detect.h and     drivers/usb/storage/uas.c.(CVE-2017-16530)

  - The implementation of big key management in     security/keys/big_key.c in the Linux kernel before     4.8.7 mishandles unsuccessful crypto registration in     conjunction with successful key-type registration,     which allows local users to cause a denial of service     (NULL pointer dereference and panic) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted application that     uses the big_key data type.(CVE-2016-9313)

  - 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)

  - Buffer overflow in the exitcode_proc_write function in     arch/um/kernel/exitcode.c in the Linux kernel before     3.12 allows local users to cause a denial of service or     possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging     root privileges for a write operation.(CVE-2013-4512)

  - It was found that unsharing a mount namespace could     allow a user to see data beneath their restricted     namespace.(CVE-2014-9717)

  - A divide-by-zero flaw was discovered in the Linux     kernel built with KVM virtualization     support(CONFIG_KVM). The flaw occurs in the KVM     module's Programmable Interval Timer(PIT) emulation,     when PIT counters for channel 1 or 2 are set to zero(0)     and a privileged user inside the guest attempts to read     these counters. A privileged guest user with access to     PIT I/O ports could exploit this issue to crash the     host kernel (denial of service).(CVE-2015-7513)

  - The ims_pcu_parse_cdc_data function in     drivers/input/misc/ims-pcu.c in the Linux kernel before     4.5.1 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a     denial of service (system crash) via a USB device     without both a master and a slave     interface.(CVE-2016-3689)

  - Stack-based buffer overflow in the     brcmf_cfg80211_start_ap() function in     'drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80     211.c' in the Linux kernel before 4.7.5 allows local     users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a long SSID     Information Element in a command to a Netlink     socket.(CVE-2016-8658)

  - drivers/hid/hid-sony.c in the Human Interface Device     (HID) subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.11, when     CONFIG_HID_SONY is enabled, allows physically proximate     attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based     out-of-bounds write) via a crafted     device.(CVE-2013-2890)

  - An issue where a provided address with access_ok() is     not checked was discovered in     i915_gem_execbuffer2_ioctl in     drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_execbuffer.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.19.13. A local attacker can craft a     malicious IOCTL function call to overwrite arbitrary     kernel memory, resulting in a Denial of Service or     privilege escalation.(CVE-2018-20669)

  - It was found that the permission checks performed by     the Linux kernel when a netlink message was received     were not sufficient. A local, unprivileged user could     potentially bypass these restrictions by passing a     netlink socket as stdout or stderr to a more privileged     process and altering the output of this     process.(CVE-2014-0181)

  - An issue was discovered in the XFS filesystem in     fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr_leaf.c in the Linux kernel. A     NULL pointer dereference may occur for a corrupted xfs     image after xfs_da_shrink_inode() is called with a NULL     bp. This can lead to a system crash and a denial of     service.(CVE-2018-13094)

  - The irda_setsockopt 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 use-after-free of     the ias_object and a system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact by leveraging an AF_IRDA     socket.(CVE-2018-6555)

  - The x86/fpu (Floating Point Unit) subsystem in the     Linux kernel, when a processor supports the xsave     feature but not the xsaves feature, does not correctly     handle attempts to set reserved bits in the xstate     header via the ptrace() or rt_sigreturn() system call.
    This allows local users to read the FPU registers of     other processes on the system, related to     arch/x86/kernel/fpu/regset.c and     arch/x86/kernel/fpu/signal.c.(CVE-2017-15537)

  - The fst_get_iface function in drivers/net/wan/farsync.c     in the Linux kernel before 3.11.7 does not properly     initialize a certain data structure, which allows local     users to obtain sensitive information from kernel     memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for     an SIOCWANDEV ioctl call.(CVE-2014-1444)

  - In the Linux kernel, through 4.15.4, the floppy driver     reveals the addresses of kernel functions and global     variables using printk calls within the function     show_floppy in drivers/block/floppy.c. An attacker can     read this information from dmesg and use the addresses     to find the locations of kernel code and data and     bypass kernel security protections such as     KASLR.(CVE-2018-7273)

  - A flaw in 'arch/arm64/kernel/sys.c' in the Linux kernel     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 Linux kernel before 3.11 on ARM platforms, as used     in Android before 2016-08-05 on Nexus 5 and 7 (2013)     devices, does not properly consider user-space access     to the TPIDRURW register, which allows local users to     gain privileges via a crafted application, aka Android     internal bug 28749743 and Qualcomm internal bug     CR561044.(CVE-2014-9870)

  - A NULL pointer dereference security flaw was found in     the Linux kernel in the vcpu_scan_ioapic() function in     arch/x86/kvm/x86.c. This allows local users with     certain privileges to cause a denial of service via a     crafted system call to the KVM     subsystem.(CVE-2018-19407)

  - It was found that current implementation of kl5kusb105     driver failed to detect short transfers when attempting     to read the line state and logged the content of the     uninitialized heap transfer buffer.(CVE-2017-5549)

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2019-2024: A use-after-free when disconnecting a source was fixed which could lead to crashes. bnc#1129179).

CVE-2019-9213: expand_downwards in mm/mmap.c lacks a check for the mmap minimum address, which made it easier for attackers to exploit kernel NULL pointer dereferences on non-SMAP platforms. This is related to a capability check for the wrong task (bnc#1128166).

CVE-2019-8980: A memory leak in the kernel_read_file function in fs/exec.c allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering vfs_read failures (bnc#1126209).

CVE-2019-3819: A flaw was found in the function hid_debug_events_read() in drivers/hid/hid-debug.c file which may enter an infinite loop with certain parameters passed from a userspace.
