The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.4.46-19.75. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.4-2022-012 advisory.

  - 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)

  - Incomplete cleanup from specific special register read operations in some Intel(R) Processors may allow an     authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2020-0543)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of Userspace core dumps. This flaw allows an     attacker with a local account to crash a trivial program and exfiltrate private kernel data.
    (CVE-2020-10732)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernels SELinux LSM hook implementation before version 5.7, where it     incorrectly assumed that an skb would only contain a single netlink message. The hook would incorrectly     only validate the first netlink message in the skb and allow or deny the rest of the messages within the     skb with the granted permission without further processing. (CVE-2020-10751)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel in versions after 4.5-rc1 in the way mremap handled DAX Huge Pages.
    This flaw allows a local attacker with access to a DAX enabled storage to escalate their privileges on the     system. (CVE-2020-10757)

  - ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.6. svm_cpu_uninit in     arch/x86/kvm/svm.c has a memory leak, aka CID-d80b64ff297e. NOTE: third parties dispute this issue because     it's a one-time leak at the boot, the size is negligible, and it can't be triggered at will.
    (CVE-2020-12768)

  - 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)

  - gadget_dev_desc_UDC_store in drivers/usb/gadget/configfs.c in the Linux kernel 3.16 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)

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 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - 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)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.0.6. In rx_queue_add_kobject() and     netdev_queue_add_kobject() in net/core/net-sysfs.c, a     reference count is mishandled, aka     CID-a3e23f719f5c.(CVE-2019-20811)

  - In calc_vm_may_flags of ashmem.c, there is a possible     arbitrary write to shared memory due to a permissions     bypass. This could lead to local escalation of     privilege by corrupting memory shared between     processes, with no additional execution privileges     needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation. Product: Android Versions: Android kernel     Android ID: A-142938932(CVE-2020-0009)

  - ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in the Linux     kernel before 5.6. svm_cpu_uninit in arch/x86/kvm/svm.c     has a memory leak, aka CID-d80b64ff297e. NOTE: third     parties dispute this issue because it's a one-time leak     at the boot, the size is negligible, and it can't be     triggered at will.(CVE-2020-12768)

  - ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in the Linux     kernel through 5.7.1. drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c has an     integer overflow if k_ascii is called several times in     a row, aka CID-b86dab054059. NOTE: Members in the     community argue that the integer overflow does not lead     to a security issue in this case.(CVE-2020-13974)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.7.6, usbtest_disconnect     in drivers/usb/misc/usbtest.c has a memory leak, aka     CID-28ebeb8db770.(CVE-2020-15393)

  - 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)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of Userspace core dumps. This flaw allows an attacker     with a local account to crash a trivial program and     exfiltrate private kernel data.(CVE-2020-10732)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernels SELinux LSM hook     implementation before version 5.7, where it incorrectly     assumed that an skb would only contain a single netlink     message. The hook would incorrectly only validate the     first netlink message in the skb and allow or deny the     rest of the messages within the skb with the granted     permission without further processing.(CVE-2020-10751)

  - A buffer over-read flaw was found in RH kernel versions     before 5.0 in crypto_authenc_extractkeys in     crypto/authenc.c in the IPsec Cryptographic algorithm's     module, authenc. When a payload longer than 4 bytes,     and is not following 4-byte alignment boundary     guidelines, it causes a buffer over-read threat,     leading to a system crash. This flaw allows a local     attacker with user privileges to cause a denial of     service.(CVE-2020-10769)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.7.8, fs/nfsd/vfs.c (in the     NFS server) can set incorrect permissions on new     filesystem objects when the filesystem lacks ACL     support, aka CID-22cf8419f131. This occurs because the     current umask is not considered.(CVE-2020-24394)

  - The Linux kernel through 5.7.11 allows remote attackers     to make observations that help to obtain sensitive     information about the internal state of the network     RNG, aka CID-f227e3ec3b5c. This is related to     drivers/char/random.c and     kernel/time/timer.c.(CVE-2020-16166)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of GRO in versions before 5.2. This flaw allows an     attacker with local access to crash the     system.(CVE-2020-10720)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.8.7, local attackers able     to inject conntrack netlink configuration could     overflow a local buffer, causing crashes or triggering     use of incorrect protocol numbers in     ctnetlink_parse_tuple_filter in     net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c, aka     CID-1cc5ef91d2ff.(CVE-2020-25211)

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks.

  - CVE-2019-3016     It was discovered that the KVM implementation for x86     did not always perform TLB flushes when needed, if the     paravirtualised TLB flush feature was enabled. This     could lead to disclosure of sensitive information within     a guest VM.

  - CVE-2019-19462     The syzkaller tool found a missing error check in the     'relay' library used to implement various files under     debugfs. A local user permitted to access debugfs could     use this to cause a denial of service (crash) or     possibly for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2020-0543     Researchers at VU Amsterdam discovered that on some     Intel CPUs supporting the RDRAND and RDSEED     instructions, part of a random value generated by these     instructions may be used in a later speculative     execution on any core of the same physical CPU.
    Depending on how these instructions are used by     applications, a local user or VM guest could use this to     obtain sensitive information such as cryptographic keys     from other users or VMs.

  This vulnerability can be mitigated by a microcode update, either as   part of system firmware (BIOS) or through the intel-microcode   package in Debian's non-free archive section. This kernel update   only provides reporting of the vulnerability and the option to   disable the mitigation if it is not needed.

  - CVE-2020-10711     Matthew Sheets reported NULL pointer dereference issues     in the SELinux subsystem while receiving CIPSO packet     with null category. A remote attacker can take advantage     of this flaw to cause a denial of service (crash). Note     that this issue does not affect the binary packages     distributed in Debian as CONFIG_NETLABEL is not enabled.

  - CVE-2020-10732     An information leak of kernel private memory to     userspace was found in the kernel's implementation of     core dumping userspace processes.

  - CVE-2020-10751     Dmitry Vyukov reported that the SELinux subsystem did     not properly handle validating multiple messages, which     could allow a privileged attacker to bypass SELinux     netlink restrictions.

  - CVE-2020-10757     Fan Yang reported a flaw in the way mremap handled DAX     hugepages, allowing a local user to escalate their     privileges.

  - CVE-2020-12114     Piotr Krysiuk discovered a race condition between the     umount and pivot_root operations in the filesystem core     (vfs). A local user with the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in     any user namespace could use this to cause a denial of     service (crash).

  - CVE-2020-12464     Kyungtae Kim reported a race condition in the USB core     that can result in a use-after-free. It is not clear how     this can be exploited, but it could result in a denial     of service (crash or memory corruption) or privilege     escalation.

  - CVE-2020-12768     A bug was discovered in the KVM implementation for AMD     processors, which could result in a memory leak. The     security impact of this is unclear.

  - CVE-2020-12770     It was discovered that the sg (SCSI generic) driver did     not correctly release internal resources in a particular     error case. A local user permitted to access an sg     device could possibly use this to cause a denial of     service (resource exhaustion).

  - CVE-2020-13143     Kyungtae Kim reported a potential heap out-of-bounds     write in the USB gadget subsystem. A local user     permitted to write to the gadget configuration     filesystem could use this to cause a denial of service     (crash or memory corruption) or potentially for     privilege escalation.

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2020-5715 advisory.

  - The coredump implementation in the Linux kernel before 5.0.10 does not use locking or other mechanisms to     prevent vma layout or vma flags changes while it runs, which allows 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. (CVE-2019-11599)

  - The Broadcom brcmfmac WiFi driver prior to commit 1b5e2423164b3670e8bc9174e4762d297990deff is vulnerable     to a heap buffer overflow. If the Wake-up on Wireless LAN functionality is configured, a malicious event     frame can be constructed to trigger an heap buffer overflow in the brcmf_wowl_nd_results function. This     vulnerability can be exploited with compromised chipsets to compromise the host, or when used in     combination with CVE-2019-9503, can be used remotely. In the worst case scenario, by sending specially-     crafted WiFi packets, a remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code on a     vulnerable system. More typically, this vulnerability will result in denial-of-service conditions.
    (CVE-2019-9500)

  - The Broadcom brcmfmac WiFi driver prior to commit a4176ec356c73a46c07c181c6d04039fafa34a9f is vulnerable     to a frame validation bypass. If the brcmfmac driver receives a firmware event frame from a remote source,     the is_wlc_event_frame function will cause this frame to be discarded and unprocessed. If the driver     receives the firmware event frame from the host, the appropriate handler is called. This frame validation     can be bypassed if the bus used is USB (for instance by a wifi dongle). This can allow firmware event     frames from a remote source to be processed. In the worst case scenario, by sending specially-crafted WiFi     packets, a remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.
    More typically, this vulnerability will result in denial-of-service conditions. (CVE-2019-9503)

  - A memory leak in the mwifiex_pcie_alloc_cmdrsp_buf() function in     drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/pcie.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a     denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering mwifiex_map_pci_memory() failures, aka CID-     db8fd2cde932. (CVE-2019-19056)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - 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 before 5.2.10, there is a race condition bug that can be caused by a malicious USB     device in the USB character device driver layer, aka CID-303911cfc5b9. This affects     drivers/usb/core/file.c. (CVE-2019-19537)

  - 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)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0. The function __mdiobus_register() in     drivers/net/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)

  - Two memory leaks in the mwifiex_pcie_init_evt_ring() function in     drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/pcie.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.11 allow attackers to cause a     denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering mwifiex_map_pci_memory() failures, aka     CID-d10dcb615c8e. (CVE-2019-19057)

  - 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)

  - drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/technisat-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)

  - The flow_dissector feature in the Linux kernel 4.3 through 5.x before 5.3.10 has a device tracking     vulnerability, aka CID-55667441c84f. This occurs because the auto flowlabel of a UDP IPv6 packet relies on     a 32-bit hashrnd value as a secret, and because jhash (instead of siphash) is used. The hashrnd value     remains the same starting from boot time, and can be inferred by an attacker. This affects     net/core/flow_dissector.c and related code. (CVE-2019-18282)

  - 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)

  - Incomplete cleanup from specific special register read operations in some Intel(R) Processors may allow an     authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2020-0543)

  - ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.6. svm_cpu_uninit in     arch/x86/kvm/svm.c has a memory leak, aka CID-d80b64ff297e. NOTE: third parties dispute this issue because     it's a one-time leak at the boot, the size is negligible, and it can't be triggered at will.
    (CVE-2020-12768)

  - A memory leak in the mlx5_fpga_conn_create_cq() function in     drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/fpga/conn.c in the Linux kernel before 5.3.11 allows attackers to     cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering mlx5_vector2eqn() failures, aka     CID-c8c2a057fdc7. (CVE-2019-19045)

  - A memory leak in the alloc_sgtable() function in drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/fw/dbg.c in the Linux     kernel through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering     alloc_page() failures, aka CID-b4b814fec1a5. (CVE-2019-19058)

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

The remote Oracle Linux 7 / 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2020-5714 advisory.

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - Incomplete cleanup from specific special register read operations in some Intel(R) Processors may allow an     authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2020-0543)

  - 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 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 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 issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.6.5. There is a use-after-free in block/bfq-iosched.c     related to bfq_idle_slice_timer_body. (CVE-2020-12657)

  - 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)

  - ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.6. svm_cpu_uninit in     arch/x86/kvm/svm.c has a memory leak, aka CID-d80b64ff297e. NOTE: third parties dispute this issue because     it's a one-time leak at the boot, the size is negligible, and it can't be triggered at will.
