The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - ext4_empty_dir in fs/ext4/namei.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.12 allows a NULL pointer dereference     because ext4_read_dirblock(inode,0,DIRENT_HTREE) can be zero. (CVE-2019-19037)

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

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

  - A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in the Linux kernel, all versions 3.x.x and 4.x.x before     4.18.0, in Marvell WiFi chip driver. The flaw could occur when the station attempts a connection     negotiation during the handling of the remote devices country settings. This could allow the remote device     to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-14895)

  - ext4_empty_dir in fs/ext4/namei.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.12 allows a NULL pointer dereference     because ext4_read_dirblock(inode,0,DIRENT_HTREE) can be zero. (CVE-2019-19037)

  - In the Linux kernel 5.0.21, mounting a crafted ext4 filesystem image, performing some operations, and     unmounting can lead to a use-after-free in ext4_put_super in fs/ext4/super.c, related to dump_orphan_list     in fs/ext4/super.c. (CVE-2019-19447)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.2.6. On NUMA systems, the Linux fair scheduler has a     use-after-free in show_numa_stats() because NUMA fault statistics are inappropriately freed, aka     CID-16d51a590a8c. (CVE-2019-20934)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SELinux subsystem in versions before 5.7.
    This flaw occurs while importing the Commercial IP Security Option (CIPSO) protocol's category bitmap into     the SELinux extensible bitmap via the' ebitmap_netlbl_import' routine. While processing the CIPSO     restricted bitmap tag in the 'cipso_v4_parsetag_rbm' routine, it sets the security attribute to indicate     that the category bitmap is present, even if it has not been allocated. This issue leads to a NULL pointer     dereference issue while importing the same category bitmap into SELinux. This flaw allows a remote network     user to crash the system kernel, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2020-10711)

  - usb_sg_cancel in drivers/usb/core/message.c in the Linux kernel before 5.6.8 has a use-after-free because     a transfer occurs without a reference, aka CID-056ad39ee925. (CVE-2020-12464)

  - The __mptctl_ioctl function in drivers/message/fusion/mptctl.c in the Linux kernel before 5.4.14 allows     local users to hold an incorrect lock during the ioctl operation and trigger a race condition, i.e., a     double fetch vulnerability, aka CID-28d76df18f0a. NOTE: the vendor states The security impact of this     bug is not as bad as it could have been because these operations are all privileged and root already has     enormous destructive power. (CVE-2020-12652)

  - An out-of-bounds memory write flaw was found in how the Linux kernel's Voice Over IP H.323 connection     tracking functionality handled connections on ipv6 port 1720. This flaw allows an unauthenticated remote     user to crash the system, causing a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-14305)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A use-after-free memory flaw was found in the perf subsystem     allowing a local attacker with permission to monitor perf events to corrupt memory and possibly escalate     privileges. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as     system availability. (CVE-2020-14351)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in fs/block_dev.c in the Linux kernel before 5.8 allows local users to gain     privileges or cause a denial of service by leveraging improper access to a certain error field.
    (CVE-2020-15436)

  - A flaw was found in Linux Kernel because access to the global variable fg_console is not properly     synchronized leading to a use after free in con_font_op. (CVE-2020-25668)

  - A flaw in ICMP packets in the Linux kernel may allow an attacker to quickly scan open UDP ports. This flaw     allows an off-path remote attacker to effectively bypass source port UDP randomization. Software that     relies on UDP source port randomization are indirectly affected as well on the Linux Based Products     (RUGGEDCOM RM1224: All versions between v5.0 and v6.4, SCALANCE M-800: All versions between v5.0 and v6.4,     SCALANCE S615: All versions between v5.0 and v6.4, SCALANCE SC-600: All versions prior to v2.1.3, SCALANCE     W1750D: v8.3.0.1, v8.6.0, and v8.7.0, SIMATIC Cloud Connect 7: All versions, SIMATIC MV500 Family: All     versions, SIMATIC NET CP 1243-1 (incl. SIPLUS variants): Versions 3.1.39 and later, SIMATIC NET CP 1243-7     LTE EU: Version (CVE-2020-25705)

  - A buffer over-read (at the framebuffer layer) in the fbcon code in the Linux kernel before 5.8.15 could be     used by local attackers to read kernel memory, aka CID-6735b4632def. (CVE-2020-28915)

  - A slab-out-of-bounds read in fbcon in the Linux kernel before 5.9.7 could be used by local attackers to     read privileged information or potentially crash the kernel, aka CID-3c4e0dff2095. This occurs because     KD_FONT_OP_COPY in drivers/tty/vt/vt.c can be used for manipulations such as font height. (CVE-2020-28974)

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues 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 for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - In the Linux kernel 5.0.21, mounting a crafted f2fs     filesystem image can cause a NULL pointer dereference     in f2fs_recover_fsync_data in fs/f2fs/recovery.c. This     is related to F2FS_P_SB in     fs/f2fs/f2fs.h.(CVE-2019-19815)

  - ** DISPUTED ** __btrfs_free_extent in     fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c in the Linux kernel through     5.3.12 calls btrfs_print_leaf in a certain ENOENT case,     which allows local users to obtain potentially     sensitive information about register values via the     dmesg program. NOTE: The BTRFS development team     disputes this issues as not being a vulnerability     because '1) The kernel provide facilities to restrict     access to dmesg - dmesg_restrict=1 sysctl option. So     it's really up to the system administrator to judge     whether dmesg access shall be disallowed or not. 2)     WARN/WARN_ON are widely used macros in the linux     kernel. If this CVE is considered valid this would mean     there are literally thousands CVE lurking in the kernel
    - something which clearly is not the     case.'(CVE-2019-19039)

  - ext4_empty_dir in fs/ext4/namei.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.3.12 allows a NULL pointer dereference     because ext4_read_dirblock(inode,0,DIRENT_HTREE) can be     zero.(CVE-2019-19037)

  - btrfs_root_node in fs/btrfs/ctree.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.3.12 allows a NULL pointer dereference     because rcu_dereference(root->node) can be     zero.(CVE-2019-19036)

  - ** DISPUTED ** In the Linux kernel 4.19.83, there is a     use-after-free (read) in the debugfs_remove function in     fs/debugfs/inode.c (which is used to remove a file or     directory in debugfs that was previously created with a     call to another debugfs function such as     debugfs_create_file). NOTE: Linux kernel developers     dispute this issue as not being an issue with debugfs,     instead this is an issue with misuse of debugfs within     blktrace.(CVE-2019-19770)

  - An issue was discovered in slc_bump in     drivers/net/can/slcan.c in the Linux kernel through     5.6.2. It allows attackers to read uninitialized     can_frame data, potentially containing sensitive     information from kernel stack memory, if the     configuration lacks CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL, aka     CID-b9258a2cece4.(CVE-2020-11494)

  - ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in the Linux     kernel through 5.6.2. mpol_parse_str in mm/mempolicy.c     has a stack-based out-of-bounds write because an empty     nodelist is mishandled during mount option parsing, aka     CID-aa9f7d5172fa. NOTE: Someone in the security     community disagrees that this is a vulnerability     because the issue 'is a bug in parsing mount options     which can only be specified by a privileged user, so     triggering the bug does not grant any powers not     already held.'.(CVE-2020-11565)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of some networking protocols in IPsec, such as VXLAN     and GENEVE tunnels over IPv6. When an encrypted tunnel     is created between two hosts, the kernel isn't     correctly routing tunneled data over the encrypted link     rather sending the data unencrypted. This would allow     anyone in between the two endpoints to read the traffic     unencrypted. The main threat from this vulnerability is     to data confidentiality.(CVE-2020-1749)

  - An issue was discovered in the stv06xx subsystem in the     Linux kernel before 5.6.1.
    drivers/media/usb/gspca/stv06xx/stv06xx.c and     drivers/media/usb/gspca/stv06xx/stv06xx_pb0100.c     mishandle invalid descriptors, as demonstrated by a     NULL pointer dereference, aka     CID-485b06aadb93.(CVE-2020-11609)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.6.1. drivers/media/usb/gspca/ov519.c allows NULL     pointer dereferences in ov511_mode_init_regs and     ov518_mode_init_regs when there are zero endpoints, aka     CID-998912346c0d.(CVE-2020-11608)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.4.12,     drivers/input/input.c has out-of-bounds writes via a     crafted keycode table, as demonstrated by     input_set_keycode, aka     CID-cb222aed03d7.(CVE-2019-20636)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.6.1,     drivers/media/usb/gspca/xirlink_cit.c (aka the Xirlink     camera USB driver) mishandles invalid descriptors, aka     CID-a246b4d54770.(CVE-2020-11668)

  - In f2fs_xattr_generic_list of xattr.c, there is a     possible out of bounds read due to a missing bounds     check. This could lead to local information disclosure     with System execution privileges needed. User     interaction is not required for exploitation.Product:
    Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID:
    A-120551147.(CVE-2020-0067)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.2     on the powerpc platform.
    arch/powerpc/kernel/idle_book3s.S does not have     save/restore functionality for PNV_POWERSAVE_AMR,     PNV_POWERSAVE_UAMOR, and PNV_POWERSAVE_AMOR, aka     CID-53a712bae5dd.(CVE-2020-11669)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.5.8, get_raw_socket in     drivers/vhost/net.c lacks validation of an sk_family     field, which might allow attackers to trigger kernel     stack corruption via crafted system     calls.(CVE-2020-10942)

  - In the Linux kernel 5.0.21, mounting a crafted btrfs     filesystem image, performing some operations, and     unmounting can lead to a use-after-free in     btrfs_queue_work in     fs/btrfs/async-thread.c.(CVE-2019-19377)

  - relay_open in kernel/relay.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.4.1 allows local users to cause a denial of     service (such as relay blockage) by triggering a NULL     alloc_percpu result.(CVE-2019-19462)

  - An issue was discovered in xfs_agf_verify in     fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_alloc.c in the Linux kernel through     5.6.10. Attackers may trigger a sync of excessive     duration via an XFS v5 image with crafted metadata, aka     CID-d0c7feaf8767.(CVE-2020-12655)

  - The __mptctl_ioctl function in     drivers/message/fusion/mptctl.c in the Linux kernel     before 5.4.14 allows local users to hold an incorrect     lock during the ioctl operation and trigger a race     condition, i.e., a 'double fetch' vulnerability, aka     CID-28d76df18f0a. NOTE: the vendor states 'The security     impact of this bug is not as bad as it could have been     because these operations are all privileged and root     already has enormous destructive     power.'(CVE-2020-12652)

  - A pivot_root race condition in fs/namespace.c in the     Linux kernel 4.4.x before 4.4.221, 4.9.x before     4.9.221, 4.14.x before 4.14.178, 4.19.x before     4.19.119, and 5.x before 5.3 allows local users to     cause a denial of service (panic) by corrupting a     mountpoint reference counter.(CVE-2020-12114)

  - usb_sg_cancel in drivers/usb/core/message.c in the     Linux kernel before 5.6.8 has a use-after-free because     a transfer occurs without a reference, aka     CID-056ad39ee925.(CVE-2020-12464)

  - An issue was found in Linux kernel before 5.5.4.
    mwifiex_ret_wmm_get_status() in     drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/wmm.c allows a     remote AP to trigger a heap-based buffer overflow     because of an incorrect memcpy, aka     CID-3a9b153c5591.(CVE-2020-12654)

  - An issue was found in Linux kernel before 5.5.4. The     mwifiex_cmd_append_vsie_tlv() function in     drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/scan.c allows     local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of     service because of an incorrect memcpy and buffer     overflow, aka CID-b70261a288ea.(CVE-2020-12653)

  - An array overflow was discovered in mt76_add_fragment     in drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/dma.c in the     Linux kernel before 5.5.10, aka CID-b102f0c522cf. An     oversized packet with too many rx fragments can corrupt     memory of adjacent pages.(CVE-2020-12465)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.6.7. xdp_umem_reg in net/xdp/xdp_umem.c has an     out-of-bounds write (by a user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN     capability) because of a lack of headroom     validation.(CVE-2020-12659)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     5.6.11. btree_gc_coalesce in drivers/md/bcache/btree.c     has a deadlock if a coalescing operation     fails.(CVE-2020-12771)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     5.6.11. sg_write lacks an sg_remove_request call in a     certain failure case, aka     CID-83c6f2390040.(CVE-2020-12770)

  - A signal access-control issue was discovered in the     Linux kernel before 5.6.5, aka CID-7395ea4e65c2.
    Because exec_id in include/linux/sched.h is only 32     bits, an integer overflow can interfere with a     do_notify_parent protection mechanism. A child process     can send an arbitrary signal to a parent process in a     different security domain. Exploitation limitations     include the amount of elapsed time before an integer     overflow occurs, and the lack of scenarios where     signals to a parent process present a substantial     operational threat.(CVE-2020-12826)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux     kernel's SELinux subsystem in versions before 5.7. This     flaw occurs while importing the Commercial IP Security     Option (CIPSO) protocol's category bitmap into the     SELinux extensible bitmap via the'     ebitmap_netlbl_import' routine. While processing the     CIPSO restricted bitmap tag in the     'cipso_v4_parsetag_rbm' routine, it sets the security     attribute to indicate that the category bitmap is     present, even if it has not been allocated. This issue     leads to a NULL pointer dereference issue while     importing the same category bitmap into SELinux. This     flaw allows a remote network user to crash the system     kernel, resulting in a denial of     service.(CVE-2020-10711)

  - gadget_dev_desc_UDC_store in     drivers/usb/gadget/configfs.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.6.13 relies on kstrdup without considering     the possibility of an internal '\0' value, which allows     attackers to trigger an out-of-bounds read, aka     CID-15753588bcd4.(CVE-2020-13143)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.2.
    There is a NULL pointer dereference in     tw5864_handle_frame() in     drivers/media/pci/tw5864/tw5864-video.c, which may     cause denial of service, aka     CID-2e7682ebfc75.(CVE-2019-20806)

This will lead to     denial of service in net/appletalk/aarp.c and     net/appletalk/ddp.c, as demonstrated by     unregister_snap_client, aka     CID-9804501fa122.(CVE-2019-19227)A memory leak in the     adis_update_scan_mode() function in     drivers/iio/imu/adis_buffer.c in the Linux kernel     before 5.3.9 allows attackers to cause a denial of     service (memory consumption), aka     CID-ab612b1daf41.(CVE-2019-19060)In the Linux kernel     before 5.3.11, there is an info-leak bug that can be     caused by a malicious USB device in the     driverset/can/usb/peak_usb/pcan_usb_core.c driver, aka     CID-f7a1337f0d29.(CVE-2019-19534)In the Linux kernel     before 5.3.11, there is a use-after-free bug that can     be caused by a malicious USB device in the     driverset/can/usb/mcba_usb.c driver, aka     CID-4d6636498c41.(CVE-2019-19529)In the Linux kernel     before 5.3.9, there is a use-after-free bug that can be     caused by a malicious USB device in the     driversfc/pn533/usb.c driver, aka     CID-6af3aa57a098.(CVE-2019-19526)In the Linux kernel     before 5.3.6, there is a use-after-free bug that can be     caused by a malicious USB device in the     driverset/ieee802154/atusb.c driver, aka     CID-7fd25e6fc035.(CVE-2019-19525)In the Linux kernel     before 5.3.9, there are multiple out-of-bounds write     bugs that can be caused by a malicious USB device in     the Linux kernel HID drivers, aka CID-d9d4b1e46d95.
    This affects drivers/hid/hid-axff.c,     drivers/hid/hid-dr.c, drivers/hid/hid-emsff.c,     drivers/hid/hid-gaff.c, drivers/hid/hid-holtekff.c,     drivers/hid/hid-lg2ff.c, drivers/hid/hid-lg3ff.c,     drivers/hid/hid-lg4ff.c, drivers/hid/hid-lgff.c,     drivers/hid/hid-logitech-hidpp.c,     drivers/hid/hid-microsoft.c, drivers/hid/hid-sony.c,     drivers/hid/hid-tmff.c, and     drivers/hid/hid-zpff.c.(CVE-2019-19532)In the Linux     kernel before 5.2.10, there is a use-after-free bug     that can be caused by a malicious USB device in the     drivers/hid/usbhid/hiddev.c driver, aka     CID-9c09b214f30e.(CVE-2019-19527)** DISPUTED ** The     Linux kernel through 5.0.7, when CONFIG_IA32_AOUT is     enabled and ia32_aout is loaded, allows local users to     bypass ASLR on setuid a.out programs (if any exist)     because install_exec_creds() is called too late in     load_aout_binary() in fs/binfmt_aout.c, and thus the     ptrace_may_access() check has a race condition when     reading /proc/pid/stat. NOTE: the software maintainer     disputes that this is a vulnerability because ASLR for     a.out format executables has never been     supported.(CVE-2019-11191)In the Linux kernel before     5.3.12, there is a use-after-free bug that can be     caused by a malicious USB device in the     drivers/input/ff-memless.c driver, aka     CID-fa3a5a1880c9.(CVE-2019-19524)driverset/wireless/mar     vell/libertas/if_sdio.c in the Linux kernel 5.2.14 does     not check the alloc_workqueue return value, leading to     a NULL pointer     dereference.(CVE-2019-16232)driverset/fjes/fjes_main.c     in the Linux kernel 5.2.14 does not check the     alloc_workqueue return value, leading to a NULL pointer     dereference.(CVE-2019-16231)** DISPUTED **     drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdkfd/kfd_interrupt.c in the Linux     kernel 5.2.14 does not check the alloc_workqueue return     value, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. NOTE: The     security community disputes this issues as not being     serious enough to be deserving a CVE     id.(CVE-2019-16229)Linux kernel CIFS implementation,     version 4.9.0 is vulnerable to a relative paths     injection in directory entry lists.(CVE-2019-10220)A     heap overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel, all     versions 3.x.x and 4.x.x before 4.18.0, in Marvell WiFi     chip driver. The vulnerability allows a remote attacker     to cause a system crash, resulting in a denial of     service, or execute arbitrary code. The highest threat     with this vulnerability is with the availability of the     system. If code execution occurs, the code will run     with the permissions of root. This will affect both     confidentiality and integrity of files on the     system.(CVE-2019-14901)The Linux kernel before 5.4.2     mishandles ext4_expand_extra_isize, as demonstrated by     use-after-free errors in __ext4_expand_extra_isize and     ext4_xattr_set_entry, related to fs/ext4/inode.c and     fs/ext4/super.c, aka CID-4ea99936a163.(CVE-2019-19767)A     heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in the Linux     kernel, all versions 3.x.x and 4.x.x before 4.18.0, in     Marvell WiFi chip driver. The flaw could occur when the     station attempts a connection negotiation during the     handling of the remote devices country settings. This     could allow the remote device to cause a denial of     service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary     code.(CVE-2019-14895)Linux Kernel could allow a local     authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information,     caused by a Transaction Asynchronous Abort (TAA) h/w     issue in KVM. By sending a specially-crafted request,     an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain     sensitive information, and use this information to     launch further attacks against the affected     system.(CVE-2019-19338)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)An out-of-bounds memory write     issue was found in the Linux Kernel, version 3.13     through 5.4, in the way the Linux kernel's KVM     hypervisor handled the 'KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID'     ioctl(2) request to get CPUID features emulated by the     KVM hypervisor. A user or process able to access the     '/dev/kvm' device could use this flaw to crash the     system, resulting in a denial of     service.(CVE-2019-19332)kernel/sched/fair.c in the     Linux kernel before 5.3.9, when cpu.cfs_quota_us is     used (e.g., with Kubernetes), allows attackers to cause     a denial of service against non-cpu-bound applications     by generating a workload that triggers unwanted slice     expiration, aka CID-de53fd7aedb1. (In other words,     although this slice expiration would typically be seen     with benign workloads, it is possible that an attacker     could calculate how many stray requests are required to     force an entire Kubernetes cluster into a     low-performance state caused by slice expiration, and     ensure that a DDoS attack sent that number of stray     requests. An attack does not affect the stability of     the kernel it only causes mismanagement of application     execution.)(CVE-2019-19922)A stack-based buffer     overflow was found in the Linux kernel, version     kernel-2.6.32, in Marvell WiFi chip driver. An attacker     is able to cause a denial of service (system crash) or,     possibly execute arbitrary code, when a STA works in     IBSS mode (allows connecting stations together without     the use of an AP) and connects to another     STA.(CVE-2019-14897)A heap-based buffer overflow     vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel, version     kernel-2.6.32, in Marvell WiFi chip driver. A remote     attacker could cause a denial of service (system crash)     or, possibly execute arbitrary code, when the     lbs_ibss_join_existing function is called after a STA     connects to an AP.(CVE-2019-14896)In the Linux kernel     through 5.4.6, there are information leaks of     uninitialized memory to a USB device in the     driverset/can/usb/kvaser_usb/kvaser_usb_leaf.c driver,     aka CID-da2311a6385c.(CVE-2019-19947)In the Linux     kernel before 5.1, there is a memory leak in
    __feat_register_sp() in net/dccp/feat.c, which may     cause denial of service, aka     CID-1d3ff0950e2b.(CVE-2019-20096)mwifiex_tm_cmd in     driverset/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/cfg80211.c in the     Linux kernel before 5.1.6 has some error-handling cases     that did not free allocated hostcmd memory, aka     CID-003b686ace82. This will cause a memory leak and     denial of service.(CVE-2019-20095)An exploitable     denial-of-service vulnerability exists in the Linux     kernel prior to mainline 5.3. An attacker could exploit     this vulnerability by triggering AP to send IAPP     location updates for stations before the required     authentication process has completed. This could lead     to different denial-of-service scenarios, either by     causing CAM table attacks, or by leading to traffic     flapping if faking already existing clients in other     nearby APs of the same wireless infrastructure. An     attacker can forge Authentication and Association     Request packets to trigger this     vulnerability.(CVE-2019-5108)In a Linux KVM guest that     has PV TLB enabled, a process in the guest kernel may     be able to read memory locations from another process     in the same guest. This problem is limit to the host     running linux kernel 4.10 with a guest running linux     kernel 4.16 or later. The problem mainly affects AMD     processors but Intel CPUs cannot be ruled     out.(CVE-2019-3016)fsamei.c in the Linux kernel before     5.5 has a may_create_in_sticky use-after-free, which     allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS)     or possibly obtain sensitive information from kernel     memory, aka CID-d0cb50185ae9. One attack vector may be     an open system call for a UNIX domain socket, if the     socket is being moved to a new parent directory and its     old parent directory is being     removed.(CVE-2020-8428)There is a use-after-free     vulnerability in the Linux kernel through 5.5.2 in the     n_tty_receive_buf_common function in     drivers/tty_tty.c.(CVE-2020-8648)An issue was     discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.5.6. set_fdc     in drivers/block/floppy.c leads to a wait_til_ready     out-of-bounds read because the FDC index is not checked     for errors before assigning it, aka     CID-2e90ca68b0d2.(CVE-2020-9383)There is a     use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel     through 5.5.2 in the vgacon_invert_region function in     drivers/video/console/vgacon.c.(CVE-2020-8649)There is     a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel     through 5.5.2 in the vc_do_resize function in     drivers/tty/vt/vt.c.(CVE-2020-8647)In the Linux kernel     5.0.21, mounting a crafted ext4 filesystem image,     performing some operations, and unmounting can lead to     a use-after-free in ext4_put_super in fs/ext4/super.c,     related to dump_orphan_list in     fs/ext4/super.c.(CVE-2019-19447)A flaw was discovered     in the way that the KVM hypervisor handled instruction     emulation for an L2 guest when nested virtualisation is     enabled. Under some circumstances, an L2 guest may     trick the L0 guest into accessing sensitive L1     resources that should be inaccessible to the L2     guest.(CVE-2020-2732)In the Linux kernel before 5.3.11,     sound/core/timer.c has a use-after-free caused by     erroneous code refactoring, aka CID-e7af6307a8a5. This     is related to snd_timer_open and     snd_timer_close_locked. The timeri variable was     originally intended to be for a newly created timer     instance, but was used for a different purpose after     refactoring.(CVE-2019-19807)In the Linux kernel     5.4.0-rc2, there is a use-after-free (read) in the
    __blk_add_trace function in kernel/trace/blktrace.c     (which is used to fill out a blk_io_trace structure and     place it in a per-cpu sub-buffer).(CVE-2019-19768)In     the Linux kernel 5.0.21, mounting a crafted f2fs     filesystem image can cause a NULL pointer dereference     in f2fs_recover_fsync_data in fs/f2fs/recovery.c.

    __btrfs_free_extent in fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c in the     Linux kernel through 5.3.12 calls btrfs_print_leaf in a     certain ENOENT case, which allows local users to obtain     potentially sensitive information about register values     via the dmesg program. NOTE: The BTRFS development team     disputes this issues as not being a vulnerability     because '1) The kernel provide facilities to restrict     access to dmesg - dmesg_restrict=1 sysctl option. So     it's really up to the system administrator to judge     whether dmesg access shall be disallowed or not. 2)     WARN/WARN_ON are widely used macros in the linux     kernel. If this CVE is considered valid this would mean     there are literally thousands CVE lurking in the kernel
    - something which clearly is not the     case.'(CVE-2019-19039)ext4_empty_dir in fs/ext4amei.c     in the Linux kernel through 5.3.12 allows a NULL     pointer dereference because     ext4_read_dirblock(inode,0,DIRENT_HTREE) can be     zero.(CVE-2019-19037)btrfs_root_node in     fs/btrfs/ctree.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.12     allows a NULL pointer dereference because     rcu_dereference(root->node) can be     zero.(CVE-2019-19036)In the Linux kernel 4.19.83, there     is a use-after-free (read) in the debugfs_remove     function in fs/debugfs/inode.c (which is used to remove     a file or directory in debugfs that was previously     created with a call to another debugfs function such as     debugfs_create_file).(CVE-2019-19770)An issue was     discovered in slc_bump in driverset/can/slcan.c in the     Linux kernel through 5.6.2.

When an encrypted tunnel is created between     two hosts, the kernel isn't correctly routing tunneled     data over the encrypted link rather sending the data     unencrypted. This would allow anyone in between the two     endpoints to read the traffic unencrypted. The main     threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality.(CVE-2020-1749)An issue was discovered     in the stv06xx subsystem in the Linux kernel before     5.6.1. drivers/media/usb/gspca/stv06xx/stv06xx.c and     drivers/media/usb/gspca/stv06xx/stv06xx_pb0100.c     mishandle invalid descriptors, as demonstrated by a     NULL pointer dereference, aka     CID-485b06aadb93.(CVE-2020-11609)An issue was     discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.6.1.
