In the Android kernel in i2c driver there is a possible out of bounds write due to memory corruption. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

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

  - In the Android kernel in i2c driver there is a possible out of bounds write due to memory corruption. This     could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is     not needed for exploitation. (CVE-2019-9454)

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

The remote CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:2104 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/i2c/i2c-core-smbus.c in the Linux kernel before 4.14.15. There is an     out of bounds write in the function i2c_smbus_xfer_emulated. (CVE-2017-18551)

  - 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)

  - 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 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 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)

  - 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)

  - 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 Android kernel in i2c driver there is a possible out of bounds write due to memory corruption. This     could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is     not needed for exploitation. (CVE-2019-9454)

  - 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)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 3.16 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)

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

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

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

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-5.15.5 advisory.

  - In Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.46, several cryptographic primitives had missing length     checks. In cases where the application calling the library did not perform a sanity check on the inputs it     could result in a crash due to a buffer overflow. (CVE-2019-17006)

  - Heap buffer overflow in the TFTP protocol handler in cURL 7.19.4 to 7.65.3. (CVE-2019-5482)

  - In all versions of cpio before 2.13 does not properly validate input files when generating TAR archives.
    When cpio is used to create TAR archives from paths an attacker can write to, the resulting archive may     contain files with permissions the attacker did not have or in paths he did not have access to. Extracting     those archives from a high-privilege user without carefully reviewing them may lead to the compromise of     the system. (CVE-2019-14866)

  - If an HTTP/2 client connecting to Apache Tomcat 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.0-M7, 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.37 or 8.5.0 to     8.5.57 exceeded the agreed maximum number of concurrent streams for a connection (in violation of the     HTTP/2 protocol), it was possible that a subsequent request made on that connection could contain HTTP     headers - including HTTP/2 pseudo headers - from a previous request rather than the intended headers. This     could lead to users seeing responses for unexpected resources. (CVE-2020-13943)

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Server product of Oracle MySQL (component: Server: Optimizer). Supported     versions that are affected are 5.6.45 and prior, 5.7.27 and prior and 8.0.17 and prior. Easily exploitable     vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise     MySQL Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang     or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server. (CVE-2019-2974)

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/i2c/i2c-core-smbus.c in the Linux kernel before 4.14.15. There is an     out of bounds write in the function i2c_smbus_xfer_emulated. (CVE-2017-18551)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.5. There is a use-after-free issue when     hci_uart_register_dev() fails in hci_uart_set_proto() in drivers/bluetooth/hci_ldisc.c. (CVE-2019-15917)

  - 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)

  - A memory leak in the ccp_run_sha_cmd() function in drivers/crypto/ccp/ccp-ops.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.3.9 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption), aka CID-128c66429247.
    (CVE-2019-18808)

  - ** DISPUTED ** A memory leak in the __ipmi_bmc_register() function in drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c     in the Linux kernel through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by     triggering ida_simple_get() failure, aka CID-4aa7afb0ee20. NOTE: third parties dispute the relevance of     this because an attacker cannot realistically control this failure at probe time. (CVE-2019-19046)

  - ** DISPUTED ** A memory leak in the nl80211_get_ftm_responder_stats() function in net/wireless/nl80211.c     in the Linux kernel through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by     triggering nl80211hdr_put() failures, aka CID-1399c59fa929.

(CVE-2020-11565)

  - 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)

  - 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'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)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 3.16 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)

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:4060 advisory.

    The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.
