  - A flaw was found in the KVM's AMD code for supporting SVM nested virtualization. The flaw occurs when     processing the VMCB (virtual machine control block) provided by the L1 guest to spawn/handle a nested     guest (L2). Due to improper validation of the int_ctl field, this issue could allow a malicious L1 to     enable AVIC support (Advanced Virtual Interrupt Controller) for the L2 guest. As a result, the L2 guest     would be allowed to read/write physical pages of the host, resulting in a crash of the entire system, leak     of sensitive data or potential guest-to-host escape. This flaw affects Linux kernel versions prior to     5.14-rc7. (CVE-2021-3653)

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

The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2021:3205-1 advisory.

  - 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)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.13.7, an unprivileged BPF program can obtain sensitive information from     kernel memory via a Speculative Store Bypass side-channel attack because the protection mechanism neglects     the possibility of uninitialized memory locations on the BPF stack. (CVE-2021-34556)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.13.7, an unprivileged BPF program can obtain sensitive information from     kernel memory via a Speculative Store Bypass side-channel attack because a certain preempting store     operation does not necessarily occur before a store operation that has an attacker-controlled value.
    (CVE-2021-35477)

  - kernel: SVM nested virtualization issue in KVM (AVIC support) (CVE-2021-3653)

  - A flaw was found in the KVM's AMD code for supporting SVM nested virtualization. The flaw occurs when     processing the VMCB (virtual machine control block) provided by the L1 guest to spawn/handle a nested     guest (L2). Due to improper validation of the int_ctl field, this issue could allow a malicious L1 to     enable AVIC support (Advanced Virtual Interrupt Controller) for the L2 guest. As a result, the L2 guest     would be allowed to read/write physical pages of the host, resulting in a crash of the entire system, leak     of sensitive data or potential guest-to-host escape. (CVE-2021-3653) (CVE-2021-3656, CVE-2021-3732,     CVE-2021-3753)

  - A lack of CPU resource in the Linux kernel tracing module functionality in versions prior to 5.14-rc3 was     found in the way user uses trace ring buffer in a specific way. Only privileged local users (with     CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability) could use this flaw to starve the resources causing denial of service.
    (CVE-2021-3679)

  - ** DISPUTED ** In drivers/char/virtio_console.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.4, data corruption or loss     can be triggered by an untrusted device that supplies a buf->len value exceeding the buffer size. NOTE:
    the vendor indicates that the cited data corruption is not a vulnerability in any existing use case; the     length validation was added solely for robustness in the face of anomalous host OS behavior.
    (CVE-2021-38160)

  - In kernel/bpf/hashtab.c in the Linux kernel through 5.13.8, there is an integer overflow and out-of-bounds     write when many elements are placed in a single bucket. NOTE: exploitation might be impractical without     the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability. (CVE-2021-38166)

  - arch/x86/kvm/mmu/paging_tmpl.h in the Linux kernel before 5.12.11 incorrectly computes the access     permissions of a shadow page, leading to a missing guest protection page fault. (CVE-2021-38198)

  - drivers/usb/host/max3421-hcd.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.6 allows physically proximate attackers to     cause a denial of service (use-after-free and panic) by removing a MAX-3421 USB device in certain     situations. (CVE-2021-38204)

  - drivers/net/ethernet/xilinx/xilinx_emaclite.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.3 makes it easier for     attackers to defeat an ASLR protection mechanism because it prints a kernel pointer (i.e., the real IOMEM     pointer). (CVE-2021-38205)

  - The mac80211 subsystem in the Linux kernel before 5.12.13, when a device supporting only 5 GHz is used,     allows attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference in the radiotap parser) by     injecting a frame with 802.11a rates. (CVE-2021-38206)

  - drivers/net/ethernet/xilinx/ll_temac_main.c in the Linux kernel before 5.12.13 allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and lockup) by sending heavy network traffic for about ten     minutes. (CVE-2021-38207)

  - net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_standalone.c in the Linux kernel before 5.12.2 allows observation of changes in     any net namespace because these changes are leaked into all other net namespaces.

    (CVE-2021-35477)

  - A flaw use-after-free in function sco_sock_sendmsg() of the Linux kernel HCI subsystem was found in the     way user calls ioct UFFDIO_REGISTER or other way triggers race condition of the call sco_conn_del()     together with the call sco_sock_sendmsg() with the expected controllable faulting memory page. A     privileged local user could use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system.

  - A flaw was found in the KVM's AMD code for supporting SVM nested virtualization. The flaw occurs when     processing the VMCB (virtual machine control block) provided by the L1 guest to spawn/handle a nested     guest (L2). Due to improper validation of the virt_ext field, this issue could allow a malicious L1 to     disable both VMLOAD/VMSAVE intercepts and VLS (Virtual VMLOAD/VMSAVE) for the L2 guest. As a result, the     L2 guest would be allowed to read/write physical pages of the host, resulting in a crash of the entire     system, leak of sensitive data or potential guest-to-host escape.

    (CVE-2021-3679)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's OverlayFS subsystem in the way the user mounts the TmpFS filesystem     with OverlayFS. This flaw allows a local user to gain access to hidden files that should not be     accessible. (CVE-2021-3732)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the btrfs_rm_device function in fs/btrfs/volumes.c in the     Linux Kernel, where triggering the bug requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN'. This flaw allows a local attacker to     crash the system or leak kernel internal information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to     system availability. (CVE-2021-3739)

  - An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory read flaw was found in the Qualcomm IPC router protocol in the Linux kernel.
    A missing sanity check allows a local attacker to gain access to out-of-bounds memory, leading to a system     crash or a leak of internal kernel information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system     availability. (CVE-2021-3743)

  - A race problem was seen in the vt_k_ioctl in drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c in the Linux kernel, which may     cause an out of bounds read in vt as the write access to vc_mode is not protected by lock-in vt_ioctl     (KDSETMDE). The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality. (CVE-2021-3753)

  - A memory overflow vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's ipc functionality of the memcg subsystem,     in the way a user calls the semget function multiple times, creating semaphores. This flaw allows a local     user to starve the resources, causing a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is     to system availability. (CVE-2021-3759)
