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

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

  - 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-2018-7191)

  - A memory leak in the crypto_report() function in     crypto/crypto_user_base.c in the Linux kernel through     5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service     (memory consumption) by triggering crypto_report_alg()     failures, aka CID-ffdde5932042.(CVE-2019-19062)

  - An issue was discovered in net/ipv4/sysctl_net_ipv4.c     in the Linux kernel before 5.0.11. There is a     net/ipv4/tcp_input.c signed integer overflow in     tcp_ack_update_rtt() when userspace writes a very large     integer to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_min_rtt_wlen, leading     to a denial of service or possibly unspecified other     impact, aka CID-19fad20d15a6.(CVE-2019-18805)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.0, a memory leak exists in     sit_init_net() in net/ipv6/sit.c when register_netdev()     fails to register sitn->fb_tunnel_dev, which may cause     denial of service, aka     CID-07f12b26e21a.(CVE-2019-16994)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.0.6. There is a memory leak issue when idr_alloc()     fails in genl_register_family() in     net/netlink/genetlink.c.(CVE-2019-15921)

  - 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 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)

  - An out-of-bounds access issue was found in the Linux     kernel, all versions through 5.3, in the way Linux     kernel's KVM hypervisor implements the Coalesced MMIO     write operation. It operates on an MMIO ring buffer     'struct kvm_coalesced_mmio' object, wherein write     indices 'ring->first' and 'ring->last' value could be     supplied by a host user-space process. An unprivileged     host user or process with access to '/dev/kvm' device     could use this flaw to crash the host kernel, resulting     in a denial of service or potentially escalating     privileges on the system.(CVE-2019-14821)

  - ** 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     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)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFS41+     subsystem. NFS41+ shares mounted in different network     namespaces at the same time can make bc_svc_process()     use wrong back-channel IDs and cause a use-after-free     vulnerability. Thus a malicious container user can     cause a host kernel memory corruption and a system     panic. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege     escalation cannot be fully ruled out.(CVE-2018-16884)

  - 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 found in the Linux kernel ipv6     implementation of GRE tunnels which allows a remote     attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds access. At this     time we understand no trust barrier has been crossed     and there is no security implications in this     flaw.(CVE-2017-5897)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's vfio interface     implementation that permits violation of the user's     locked memory limit. If a device is bound to a vfio     driver, such as vfio-pci, and the local attacker is     administratively granted ownership of the device, it     may cause a system memory exhaustion and thus a denial     of service (DoS). Versions 3.10, 4.14 and 4.18 are     vulnerable.(CVE-2019-3882)

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 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):An issue was discovered in     the Linux kernel before 5.2.3. Out of bounds access     exists in the functions     ath6kl_wmi_pstream_timeout_event_rx and     ath6kl_wmi_cac_event_rx in the file     driverset/wireless/ath/ath6kl/wmi.c.(CVE-2019-15926)An     issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.6.
    There is a memory leak issue when idr_alloc() fails in     genl_register_family() in     netetlink/genetlink.c.(CVE-2019-15921)An issue was     discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.20.2. An     out-of-bounds access exists in the function     build_audio_procunit in the file     sound/usb/mixer.c.(CVE-2019-15927)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)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 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)A vulnerability was found in     Linux kernel's, versions up to 3.10, implementation of     overlayfs. An attacker with local access can create a     denial of service situation via NULL pointer     dereference in ovl_posix_acl_create function in     fs/overlayfs/dir.c. This can allow attackers with     ability to create directories on overlayfs to crash the     kernel creating a denial of service     (DOS).(CVE-2019-10140)In the Linux kernel, a certain     net/ipv4/tcp_output.c change, which was properly     incorporated into 4.16.12, was incorrectly backported     to the earlier longterm kernels, introducing a new     vulnerability that was potentially more severe than the     issue that was intended to be fixed by backporting.
    Specifically, by adding to a write queue between     disconnection and re-connection, a local attacker can     trigger multiple use-after-free conditions. This can     result in a kernel crash, or potentially in privilege     escalation.(CVE-2019-15239)check_input_term in     sound/usb/mixer.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.9     mishandles recursion, leading to kernel stack     exhaustion.(CVE-2019-15118)drivers     et/wireless/ath/ath10k/usb.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.2.8 has a NULL pointer dereference via an     incomplete address in an endpoint     descriptor.(CVE-2019-15099)drivers     et/wireless/ath/ath6kl/usb.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.2.9 has a NULL pointer dereference via an     incomplete address in an endpoint     descriptor.(CVE-2019-15098)A flaw was found in the     Linux kernel's Bluetooth implementation of UART. An     attacker with local access and write permissions to the     Bluetooth hardware could use this flaw to issue a     specially crafted ioctl function call and cause the     system to crash.(CVE-2019-10207)It was found that cephx     authentication protocol did not verify ceph clients     correctly and was vulnerable to replay attack. Any     attacker having access to ceph cluster network who is     able to sniff packets on network can use this     vulnerability to authenticate with ceph service and     perform actions allowed by ceph service. Ceph branches     master, mimic, luminous and jewel are believed to be     vulnerable.(CVE-2018-1128)ax25_create in     net/ax25/af_ax25.c in the AF_AX25 network module in the     Linux kernel through 5.3.2 does not enforce     CAP_NET_RAW, which means that unprivileged users can     create a raw socket, aka     CID-0614e2b73768.(CVE-2019-17052)ieee802154_create in     net/ieee802154/socket.c in the AF_IEEE802154 network     module in the Linux kernel through 5.3.2 does not     enforce CAP_NET_RAW, which means that unprivileged     users can create a raw socket, aka     CID-e69dbd4619e7.(CVE-2019-17053)atalk_create in     net/appletalk/ddp.c in the AF_APPLETALK network module     in the Linux kernel through 5.3.2 does not enforce     CAP_NET_RAW, which means that unprivileged users can     create a raw socket, aka     CID-6cc03e8aa36c.(CVE-2019-17054)base_sock_create in     drivers/isdn/mISDN/socket.c in the AF_ISDN network     module in the Linux kernel through 5.3.2 does not     enforce CAP_NET_RAW, which means that unprivileged     users can create a raw socket, aka     CID-b91ee4aa2a21.(CVE-2019-17055)llcp_sock_create in     net fc/llcp_sock.c in the AF_NFC network module in the     Linux kernel through 5.3.2 does not enforce     CAP_NET_RAW, which means that unprivileged users can     create a raw socket, aka     CID-3a359798b176.(CVE-2019-17056)A flaw was found in     the Linux kernel's freescale hypervisor manager     implementation, kernel versions 5.0.x up to, excluding     5.0.17. A parameter passed to an ioctl was incorrectly     validated and used in size calculations for the page     size calculation. An attacker can use this flaw to     crash the system, corrupt memory, or create other     adverse security     affects.(CVE-2019-10142)drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/techn     isat-usb2.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.9 has an     out-of-bounds read via crafted USB device traffic     (which may be remote via usbip or     usbredir).(CVE-2019-15505)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     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)A buffer     overflow flaw was found, in versions from 2.6.34 to     5.2.x, in the way Linux kernel's vhost functionality     that translates virtqueue buffers to IOVs, logged the     buffer descriptors during migration. A privileged guest     user able to pass descriptors with invalid length to     the host when migration is underway, could use this     flaw to increase their privileges on the     host.(CVE-2019-14835)An out-of-bounds access issue was     found in the Linux kernel, all versions through 5.3, in     the way Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor implements the     Coalesced MMIO write operation. It operates on an MMIO     ring buffer 'struct kvm_coalesced_mmio' object, wherein     write indices 'ring->first' and 'ring->last' value     could be supplied by a host user-space process. An     unprivileged host user or process with access to     '/dev/kvm' device could use this flaw to crash the host     kernel, resulting in a denial of service or potentially     escalating privileges on the system.(CVE-2019-14821)An     information disclosure vulnerability exists when     certain central processing units (CPU) speculatively     access memory, aka 'Windows Kernel Information     Disclosure Vulnerability'.
    (CVE-2019-1125)drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_os.c in the     Linux kernel 5.2.14 does not check the alloc_workqueue     return value, leading to a NULL pointer     dereference.(CVE-2019-16233)An issue was discovered in     the Linux kernel before 5.0.11. fm10k_init_module in     drivers et/ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k_main.c has a NULL     pointer dereference because there is no -ENOMEM upon an     alloc_workqueue failure.(CVE-2019-15924)An issue was     discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.2.1. There is a     use-after-free caused by a malicious USB device in the     drivers et/wireless/intersil/p54/p54usb.c     driver.(CVE-2019-15220 )In the Linux kernel before     5.1.7, a device can 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 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). An attack may be conducted by hosting a     crafted web page that uses WebRTC or gQUIC to force UDP     traffic to attacker-controlled IP     addresses.(CVE-2019-10638)There is heap-based buffer     overflow in Linux kernel, all versions up to, excluding     5.3, in the marvell wifi chip driver in Linux kernel,     that allows local users to cause a denial of     service(system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary     code.( CVE-2019-14814)** RESERVED ** This candidate has     been reserved by an organization or individual that     will use it when announcing a new security problem.
    When the candidate has been publicized, the details for     this candidate will be provided.( CVE-2019-14815)There     is heap-based buffer overflow in kernel, all versions     up to, excluding 5.3, in the marvell wifi chip driver     in Linux kernel, that allows local users to cause a     denial of service(system crash) or possibly execute     arbitrary code.( CVE-2019-14816)A flaw was found in the     way Linux kernel KVM hypervisor emulated instructions     such as sgdt/sidt/fxsave/fxrstor. It did not check     current privilege(CPL) level while emulating     unprivileged instructions. An unprivileged guest     user/process could use this flaw to potentially     escalate privileges inside guest.(CVE-2018-10853)A NULL     pointer dereference was found in the net/rds/rdma.c
    __rds_rdma_map() function in the Linux kernel before     4.14.7 allowing local attackers to cause a system panic     and a denial-of-service, related to RDS_GET_MR and     RDS_GET_MR_FOR_DEST.(CVE-2018-7492)An issue was     discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.20.15. The     nfc_llcp_build_tlv function in net fc/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 5.1.8. There is a     NULL pointer dereference caused by a malicious USB     device in the drivers/media/usb/siano/smsusb.c     driver.(CVE-2019-15218)An issue was discovered in the     Linux kernel before 5.1.8. There is a NULL pointer     dereference caused by a malicious USB device in the     drivers/usb/misc/sisusbvga/sisusb.c     driver.(CVE-2019-15219)An issue was discovered in the     Linux kernel before 5.1.17. There is a NULL pointer     dereference caused by a malicious USB device in the     sound/usb/line6/pcm.c driver.(CVE-2019-15221)

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP1 RT kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2019-14835: A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's vhost functionality that translates virtqueue buffers to IOVs, logged the buffer descriptors during migration. A privileged guest user able to pass descriptors with invalid length to the host when migration is underway, could have used this flaw to increase their privileges on the host (bnc#1150112).

CVE-2019-15216: There was a NULL pointer dereference caused by a malicious USB device in the drivers/usb/misc/yurex.c driver (bnc#1146361).

CVE-2019-15924: fm10k_init_module in drivers/net/ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k_main.c had a NULL pointer dereference because there was no -ENOMEM upon an alloc_workqueue failure (bnc#1149612).

CVE-2019-9456: In the Pixel C USB monitor driver there was a possible OOB write due to a missing bounds check. This could have led to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation (bnc#1150025).

CVE-2019-15031: In the Linux kernel on the powerpc platform, a local user could have read vector registers of other users' processes via an interrupt. To exploit the vulnerability, a local user starts a transaction (via the hardware transactional memory instruction tbegin) and then accesses vector registers. At some point, the vector registers will be corrupted with the values from a different local Linux process, because MSR_TM_ACTIVE was misused in arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c (bnc#1149713).

CVE-2019-15030: In the Linux kernel on the powerpc platform, a local user could have read vector registers of other users' processes via a Facility Unavailable exception. To exploit the venerability, a local user starts a transaction (via the hardware transactional memory instruction tbegin) and then accesses vector registers. At some point, the vector registers will be corrupted with the values from a different local Linux process because of a missing arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c check (bnc#1149713).

CVE-2019-15920: SMB2_read in fs/cifs/smb2pdu.c had a use-after-free.
(bnc#1149626).

CVE-2019-15926: An out-of-bounds access existed in the functions ath6kl_wmi_pstream_timeout_event_rx and ath6kl_wmi_cac_event_rx in the file drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/wmi.c (bnc#1149527).

CVE-2019-15927: An out-of-bounds access existed in the function build_audio_procunit in the file sound/usb/mixer.c (bnc#1149522).

CVE-2019-15902: Misuse of the upstream 'x86/ptrace: Fix possible spectre-v1 in ptrace_get_debugreg()' commit reintroduced the Spectre vulnerability that it aimed to eliminate. This occurred because the backport process depends on cherry picking specific commits, and because two (correctly ordered) code lines were swapped (bnc#1149376).

CVE-2019-15666: There was an out-of-bounds array access in
__xfrm_policy_unlink, which will cause denial of service, because verify_newpolicy_info in net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c mishandled directory validation (bnc#1148394).

CVE-2019-15219: There was a NULL pointer dereference caused by a malicious USB device in the drivers/usb/misc/sisusbvga/sisusb.c driver (bnc#1146524).

CVE-2019-14814: There was a heap-based buffer overflow in the Marvell wifi chip driver, that allowed local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code (bnc#1146512).
