  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.18.7. In create_qp_common in     drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/qp.c, mlx5_ib_create_qp_resp was never initialized, resulting in a leak of     stack memory to userspace. (CVE-2018-20855)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2019:14157-1 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.1.4, a buffer overflow occurs when checking userspace params in     drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cx24116.c. The maximum size for a DiSEqC command is 6, according to the     userspace API. However, the code allows larger values such as 23. (CVE-2015-9289)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.18.7. In create_qp_common in     drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/qp.c, mlx5_ib_create_qp_resp was never initialized, resulting in a leak of     stack memory to userspace. (CVE-2018-20855)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when certain central processing units (CPU) speculatively     access memory, aka 'Windows Kernel Information Disclosure Vulnerability'. This CVE ID is unique from     CVE-2019-1071, CVE-2019-1073. (CVE-2019-1125)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.7. A NULL pointer dereference can occur when     megasas_create_frame_pool() fails in megasas_alloc_cmds() in drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c.
    This causes a Denial of Service, related to a use-after-free. (CVE-2019-11810)

  - In parse_hid_report_descriptor in drivers/input/tablet/gtco.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.1, a     malicious USB device can send an HID report that triggers an out-of-bounds write during generation of     debugging messages. (CVE-2019-13631)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.2.3, set_geometry in drivers/block/floppy.c does not validate the sect and     head fields, as demonstrated by an integer overflow and out-of-bounds read. It can be triggered by an     unprivileged local user when a floppy disk has been inserted. NOTE: QEMU creates the floppy device by     default. (CVE-2019-14283)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.2.3, drivers/block/floppy.c allows a denial of service by setup_format_params     division-by-zero. Two consecutive ioctls can trigger the bug: the first one should set the drive geometry     with .sect and .rate values that make F_SECT_PER_TRACK be zero. Next, the floppy format operation should     be called. It can be triggered by an unprivileged local user even when a floppy disk has not been     inserted. NOTE: QEMU creates the floppy device by default. (CVE-2019-14284)

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

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has kernel-rt packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - The bnep_sock_ioctl function in     net/bluetooth/bnep/sock.c in the Linux kernel before     2.6.39 does not ensure that a certain device field ends     with a '\0' character, which allows local users to     obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel     stack memory, or cause a denial of service (BUG and     system crash), via a BNEPCONNADD command.
    (CVE-2011-1079)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/gfs2/rgrp.c in the Linux     kernel before 4.8. A use-after-free is caused by the     functions gfs2_clear_rgrpd and read_rindex_entry.

  - An issue was discovered in     drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.13. There is potential exposure of kernel stack     memory because aac_get_hba_info does not initialize the     hbainfo structure. (CVE-2017-18550)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     4.14.11. A double free may be caused by the function     allocate_trace_buffer in the file kernel/trace/trace.c.
    (CVE-2017-18595)

  - Improper invalidation for page table updates by a     virtual guest operating system for multiple Intel(R)     Processors may allow an authenticated user to     potentially enable denial of service of the host system     via local access. (CVE-2018-12207)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.20.
    There is a race condition in smp_task_timedout() and     smp_task_done() in drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c,     leading to a use-after-free. (CVE-2018-20836)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     4.18.7. In create_qp_common in     drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/qp.c, mlx5_ib_create_qp_resp     was never initialized, resulting in a leak of stack     memory to userspace. (CVE-2018-20855)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/xfs/xfs_super.c in the     Linux kernel before 4.18. A use after free exists,     related to xfs_fs_fill_super failure. (CVE-2018-20976)

  - In the tun subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.13.14,     dev_get_valid_name is not called before     register_netdevice. This allows local users to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and panic)     via an ioctl(TUNSETIFF) call with a dev name containing     a / character. This is similar to CVE-2013-4343.

    (CVE-2019-0155)

  - TSX Asynchronous Abort condition on some CPUs utilizing     speculative execution may allow an authenticated user to     potentially enable information disclosure via a side     channel with local access. (CVE-2019-11135)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.1-rc5 allows page->_refcount     reference count overflow, with resultant use-after-free     issues, if about 140 GiB of RAM exists. This is related     to fs/fuse/dev.c, fs/pipe.c, fs/splice.c,     include/linux/mm.h, include/linux/pipe_fs_i.h,     kernel/trace/trace.c, mm/gup.c, and mm/hugetlb.c. It can     occur with FUSE requests. (CVE-2019-11487)

  - The do_hidp_sock_ioctl function in     net/bluetooth/hidp/sock.c in the Linux kernel before     5.0.15 allows a local user to obtain potentially     sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a     HIDPCONNADD command, because a name field may not end     with a '\0' character. (CVE-2019-11884)

  - ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in     drm_load_edid_firmware in     drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid_load.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.1.5. There is an unchecked kstrdup of fwstr,     which might allow an attacker to cause a denial of     service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash).
    NOTE: The vendor disputes this issues as not being a     vulnerability because kstrdup() returning NULL is     handled sufficiently and there is no chance for a NULL     pointer dereference. (CVE-2019-12382)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.2.3. There is a use-after-free caused by a malicious     USB device in the drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-     init.c driver. (CVE-2019-15213)

  - An issue was discovered in xfs_setattr_nonsize in     fs/xfs/xfs_iops.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.9. XFS     partially wedges when a chgrp fails on account of being     out of disk quota. xfs_setattr_nonsize is failing to     unlock the ILOCK after the xfs_qm_vop_chown_reserve call     fails. This is primarily a local DoS attack vector, but     it might result as well in remote DoS if the XFS     filesystem is exported for instance via NFS.
    (CVE-2019-15538)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.1.13, there is a memory     leak in drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c when SAS     expander discovery fails. This will cause a BUG and     denial of service. (CVE-2019-15807)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.0.1. There is a memory leak in     register_queue_kobjects() in net/core/net-sysfs.c, which     will cause denial of service. (CVE-2019-15916)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.0.4. The 9p filesystem did not protect i_size_write()     properly, which causes an i_size_read() infinite loop     and denial of service on SMP systems. (CVE-2019-16413)

  - An issue was discovered in write_tpt_entry in     drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/mem.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.3.2. The cxgb4 driver is directly calling     dma_map_single (a DMA function) from a stack variable.
    This could allow an attacker to trigger a Denial of     Service, exploitable if this driver is used on an     architecture for which this stack/DMA interaction has     security relevance. (CVE-2019-17075)

  - The SCTP socket buffer used by a userspace application     is not accounted by the cgroups subsystem. An attacker     can use this flaw to cause a denial of service attack.
    Kernel 3.10.x and 4.18.x branches are believed to be     vulnerable. (CVE-2019-3874)

CVE-2018-16880: A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handle_rx() function in the [vhost_net] driver. A malicious virtual guest, under specific conditions, could trigger an out-of-bounds write in a kmalloc-8 slab on a virtual host which may have lead to a kernel memory corruption and a system panic. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out. (bsc#1122767)

CVE-2019-12819: The function __mdiobus_register() called put_device(), which triggered a fixed_mdio_bus_init use-after-free. This would cause a denial of service. (bsc#1138291)

CVE-2019-3882: A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's vfio interface implementation that permitted violation of the user's locked memory limit. If a device was bound to a vfio driver, such as vfio-pci, and the local attacker is administratively granted ownership of the device, it may have caused a system memory exhaustion and thus a denial of service (DoS). (bsc#1131427)

CVE-2019-3846: A flaw that allowed an attacker to corrupt memory and possibly escalate privileges was found in the mwifiex kernel module while connecting to a malicious wireless network. (bsc#1136424)

CVE-2019-9503: An issue was discoved which meant that brcmfmac frame validation could be bypassed. (bsc#1132828)

CVE-2019-9003: In the Linux kernel, attackers could trigger a drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c use-after-free and OOPS by arranging for certain simultaneous execution of the code, as demonstrated by a 'service ipmievd restart' loop. (bsc#1126704)

CVE-2017-5753: Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and branch prediction may have allowed unauthorized disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a side-channel analysis.

CVE-2019-11478: It was possible to send a crafted sequence of SACKs which will fragment the TCP retransmission queue. An attacker may have been able to further exploit the fragmented queue to cause an expensive linked-list walk for subsequent SACKs received for that same TCP connection.

CVE-2019-11479: An attacker could force the Linux kernel to segment its responses into multiple TCP segments. This would drastically increased the bandwidth required to deliver the same amount of data.
Further, it would consume additional resources such as CPU and NIC processing power.

CVE-2018-16871: A NULL pointer dereference due to an anomalized NFS message sequence was fixed. (bnc#1137103).

CVE-2019-12614: An issue was discovered in dlpar_parse_cc_property in arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dlpar.c. There was an unchecked kstrdup of prop->name, which might allow an attacker to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) (bnc#1137194).

CVE-2019-12817: On the PowerPC architecture, local attackers could access other users processes memory (bnc#1138263).

CVE-2018-20836: An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel There was a race condition in smp_task_timedout() and smp_task_done() in drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c, leading to a use-after-free (bnc#1134395).

CVE-2019-10638: In the Linux kernel, a device could be tracked by an attacker using the IP ID values the kernel produces for connection-less protocols (e.g., UDP and ICMP). When such traffic was sent to multiple destination IP addresses, it was possible to obtain hash collisions (of indices to the counter array) and thereby obtain the hashing key (via enumeration). An attack may have been conducted by hosting a crafted web page that uses WebRTC or gQUIC to force UDP traffic to attacker-controlled IP addresses (bnc#1140575 1140577).

CVE-2019-10639: The Linux kernel allowed Information Exposure (partial kernel address disclosure), leading to a KASLR bypass. Specifically, it was possible to extract the KASLR kernel image offset using the IP ID values the kernel produces for connection-less protocols (e.g., UDP and ICMP). When such traffic was sent to multiple destination IP addresses, it was possible to obtain hash collisions (of indices to the counter array) and thereby obtain the hashing key (via enumeration). This key contains enough bits from a kernel address (of a static variable) so when the key was extracted (via enumeration), the offset of the kernel image was exposed. This attack could be carried out remotely, by the attacker forcing the target device to send UDP or ICMP (or certain other) traffic to attacker-controlled IP addresses. Forcing a server to send UDP traffic is trivial if the server is a DNS server. ICMP traffic is trivial if the server answers ICMP Echo requests (ping). For client targets, if the target visits the attacker's web page, then WebRTC or gQUIC can be used to force UDP traffic to attacker-controlled IP addresses. NOTE: this attack against KASLR became viable because IP ID generation was changed to have a dependency on an address associated with a network namespace (bnc#1140577).

CVE-2019-11599: The coredump implementation in the Linux kernel did not use locking or other mechanisms to prevent vma layout or vma flags changes while it ran, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service, or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a race condition with mmget_not_zero or get_task_mm calls. This is related to fs/userfaultfd.c, mm/mmap.c, fs/proc/task_mmu.c, and drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c (bnc#1131645 1133738).

CVE-2019-13233: In arch/x86/lib/insn-eval.c in the Linux kernel, there was a use-after-free for access to an LDT entry because of a race condition between modify_ldt() and a #BR exception for an MPX bounds violation (bnc#1140454).

CVE-2018-20855: An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel In create_qp_common in drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/qp.c, mlx5_ib_create_qp_resp was never initialized, resulting in a leak of stack memory to userspace(bsc#1143045).

CVE-2019-1125: Exclude ATOMs from speculation through SWAPGS (bsc#1139358).

CVE-2019-13631: In parse_hid_report_descriptor in drivers/input/tablet/gtco.c in the Linux kernel, a malicious USB device could send an HID report that triggered an out-of-bounds write during generation of debugging messages. (bnc#1142023)

CVE-2019-13648: In the Linux kernel on the powerpc platform, when hardware transactional memory was disabled, a local user could cause a denial of service (TM Bad Thing exception and system crash) via a sigreturn() system call that sent a crafted signal frame.
(bnc#1142254)

CVE-2019-14283: In the Linux kernel, set_geometry in drivers/block/floppy.c did not validate the sect and head fields, as demonstrated by an integer overflow and out-of-bounds read. It could be triggered by an unprivileged local user when a floppy disk was inserted. NOTE: QEMU creates the floppy device by default.
(bnc#1143191)

CVE-2019-14284: In the Linux kernel, drivers/block/floppy.c allows a denial of service by setup_format_params division-by-zero.
(bnc#1143189)

CVE-2019-12456: An issue was discovered in the MPT3COMMAND case in
_ctl_ioctl_main in drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_ctl.c in the Linux. It allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact by changing the value of ioc_number between two kernel reads of that value, aka a 'double fetch' vulnerability.
NOTE: a third-party reports that this is unexploitable because the doubly fetched value is not used. (bsc#1136922)

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 kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz),     the core of any Linux operating system. The kernel     handles the basic functions of the operating system:
    memory allocation, process allocation, device input and     output, etc. Security Fix(es):A flaw was found in the     Linux kernel's NFS implementation, all versions 3.x and     all versions 4.x up to 4.20. An attacker, who is able     to mount an exported NFS filesystem, is able to trigger     a null pointer dereference by using an invalid NFS     sequence. This can panic the machine and deny access to     the NFS server. Any outstanding disk writes to the NFS     server will be lost.(CVE-2018-16871)An issue was     discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.18.7. In     create_qp_common in drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/qp.c,     mlx5_ib_create_qp_resp was never initialized, resulting     in a leak of stack memory to     userspace.(CVE-2018-20855)An issue was discovered in     the Linux kernel before 4.18.7. In block/blk-core.c,     there is an __blk_drain_queue() use-after-free because     a certain error case is mishandled.(CVE-2018-20856)The     Linux kernel 4.x (starting from 4.1) and 5.x before     5.0.8 allows Information Exposure (partial kernel     address disclosure), leading to a KASLR bypass.
    Specifically, it is possible to extract the KASLR     kernel image offset using the IP ID values the kernel     produces for connection-less protocols (e.g., UDP and     ICMP). When such traffic is sent to multiple     destination IP addresses, it is possible to obtain hash     collisions (of indices to the counter array) and     thereby obtain the hashing key (via enumeration). This     key contains enough bits from a kernel address (of a     static variable) so when the key is extracted (via     enumeration), the offset of the kernel image is     exposed. This attack can be carried out remotely, by     the attacker forcing the target device to send UDP or     ICMP (or certain other) traffic to attacker-controlled     IP addresses. Forcing a server to send UDP traffic is     trivial if the server is a DNS server. ICMP traffic is     trivial if the server answers ICMP Echo requests     (ping). For client targets, if the target visits the     attacker's web page, then WebRTC or gQUIC can be used     to force UDP traffic to attacker-controlled IP     addresses. NOTE: this attack against KASLR became     viable in 4.1 because IP ID generation was changed to     have a dependency on an address associated with a     network namespace.(CVE-2019-10639)** DISPUTED ** An     issue was discovered in ip6_ra_control in     net/ipv6/ipv6_sockglue.c in the Linux kernel through     5.1.5. There is an unchecked kmalloc of new_ra, which     might allow an attacker to cause a denial of service     (NULL pointer dereference and system crash). NOTE: This     has been disputed as not an     issue.(CVE-2019-12378)**DISPUTED** An issue was     discovered in the efi subsystem in the Linux kernel     through 5.1.5. phys_efi_set_virtual_address_map in     arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c and efi_call_phys_prolog in     arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_64.c mishandle memory     allocation failures. NOTE: This id is disputed as not     being an issue because ?All the code touched by the     referenced commit runs only at boot, before any user     processes are started. Therefore, there is no     possibility for an unprivileged user to control     it.?.(CVE-2019-12380)** DISPUTED ** An issue was     discovered in ip_ra_control in net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c     in the Linux kernel through 5.1.5. There is an     unchecked kmalloc of new_ra, which might allow an     attacker to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and system crash). NOTE: this is disputed     because new_ra is never used if it is     NULL.(CVE-2019-12381)** DISPUTED ** An issue was     discovered in the MPT3COMMAND case in _ctl_ioctl_main     in drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_ctl.c in the Linux     kernel through 5.1.5. It allows local users to cause a     denial of service or possibly have unspecified other     impact by changing the value of ioc_number between two     kernel reads of that value, aka a 'double fetch'     vulnerability. NOTE: a third party reports that this is     unexploitable because the doubly fetched value is not     used.(CVE-2019-12456)An issue was discovered in the     Linux kernel before 4.20.15. The nfc_llcp_build_tlv     function in netfc/llcp_commands.c may return NULL. If     the caller does not check for this, it will trigger a     NULL pointer dereference. This will cause denial of     service. This affects nfc_llcp_build_gb in     netfc/llcp_core.c.(CVE-2019-12818)An issue was     discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0. The function
    __mdiobus_register() in driverset/phy/mdio_bus.c calls     put_device(), which will trigger a fixed_mdio_bus_init     use-after-free. This will cause a denial of     service.(CVE-2019-12819)A NULL pointer dereference     vulnerability in the function     nfc_genl_deactivate_target() in netfcetlink.c in the     Linux kernel before 5.1.13 can be triggered by a     malicious user-mode program that omits certain NFC     attributes, leading to denial of     service.(CVE-2019-12984)In the Linux kernel before     5.1.17, ptrace_link in kernel/ptrace.c mishandles the     recording of the credentials of a process that wants to     create a ptrace relationship, which allows local users     to obtain root access by leveraging certain scenarios     with a parent-child process relationship, where a     parent drops privileges and calls execve (potentially     allowing control by an attacker). One contributing     factor is an object lifetime issue (which can also     cause a panic). Another contributing factor is     incorrect marking of a ptrace relationship as     privileged, which is exploitable through (for example)     Polkit's pkexec helper with PTRACE_TRACEME. NOTE:
    SELinux deny_ptrace might be a usable workaround in     some environments.(CVE-2019-13272)In     parse_hid_report_descriptor in     drivers/input/tablet/gtco.c in the Linux kernel through     5.2.1, a malicious USB device can send an HID report     that triggers an out-of-bounds write during generation     of debugging messages.(CVE-2019-13631)In the Linux     kernel through 5.2.1 on the powerpc platform, when     hardware transactional memory is disabled, a local user     can cause a denial of service (TM Bad Thing exception     and system crash) via a sigreturn() system call that     sends a crafted signal frame. This affects     arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_32.c and     arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_64.c.(CVE-2019-13648)In the     Linux kernel before 5.2.3, set_geometry in     drivers/block/floppy.c does not validate the sect and     head fields, as demonstrated by an integer overflow and     out-of-bounds read. It can be triggered by an     unprivileged local user when a floppy disk has been     inserted. NOTE: QEMU creates the floppy device by     default.(CVE-2019-14283)In the Linux kernel before     5.2.3, drivers/block/floppy.c allows a denial of     service by setup_format_params division-by-zero. Two     consecutive ioctls can trigger the bug: the first one     should set the drive geometry with .sect and .rate     values that make F_SECT_PER_TRACK be zero. Next, the     floppy format operation should be called. It can be     triggered by an unprivileged local user even when a     floppy disk has not been inserted. NOTE: QEMU creates     the floppy device by default.(CVE-2019-14284)In the     Linux kernel before 4.16.4, a double-locking error in     drivers/usb/dwc3/gadget.c may potentially cause a     deadlock with f_hid.(CVE-2019-14763)An issue was     discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.2.6. There is a     use-after-free caused by a malicious USB device in the     drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-dev.c driver because     drivers/media/radio/radio-raremono.c does not properly     allocate memory.(CVE-2019-15211)An issue was discovered     in the Linux kernel before 5.0.9. There is a     use-after-free in atalk_proc_exit, related to     net/appletalk/atalk_proc.c, net/appletalk/ddp.c, and     net/appletalk/sysctl_net_atalk.c.(CVE-2019-15292)A flaw     was found in the way the sit_init_net function in the     Linux kernel handled resource cleanup on errors. This     flaw allows an attacker to use the error conditions to     crash the system.(CVE-2019-16994)Note:
    kernel-4.19.36-vhulk1907.1.0.h529 and earlier versions     in EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 3.0.2.0 return     incorrect time information when executing the uname -a     command.
