    (CVE-2021-20321)

  - The fix for XSA-365 includes initialization of pointers such that subsequent cleanup code wouldn't use     uninitialized or stale values. This initialization went too far and may under certain conditions also     overwrite pointers which are in need of cleaning up. The lack of cleanup would result in leaking     persistent grants. The leak in turn would prevent fully cleaning up after a respective guest has died,     leaving around zombie domains. All Linux versions having the fix for XSA-365 applied are vulnerable.
    XSA-365 was classified to affect versions back to at least 3.11. (CVE-2021-28688)

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 SLES12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:2077-1 advisory.

  - The acpi_ns_evaluate() function in drivers/acpi/acpica/nseval.c in the Linux kernel through 4.12.9 does     not flush the operand cache and causes a kernel stack dump, which allows local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism (in the kernel through 4.9) via a     crafted ACPI table. (CVE-2017-13695)

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.20.2, kernel/sched/fair.c mishandles leaf cfs_rq's, which allows attackers to     cause a denial of service (infinite loop in update_blocked_averages) or possibly have unspecified other     impact by inducing a high load. (CVE-2018-20784)

  - An issue was discovered in the fd_locked_ioctl function in drivers/block/floppy.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.15.7. The floppy driver will copy a kernel pointer to user memory in response to the FDGETPRM     ioctl. An attacker can send the FDGETPRM ioctl and use the obtained kernel pointer to discover the     location of kernel code and data and bypass kernel security protections such as KASLR. (CVE-2018-7755)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - There is a flaw reported in the Linux kernel in versions before 5.9 in     drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_sgdma.c in nouveau_sgdma_create_ttm in Nouveau DRM subsystem. The issue     results from the lack of validating the existence of an object prior to performing operations on the     object. An attacker with a local account with a root privilege, can leverage this vulnerability to     escalate privileges and execute code in the context of the kernel. (CVE-2021-20292)

  - A race condition accessing file object in the Linux kernel OverlayFS subsystem was found in the way users     do rename in specific way with OverlayFS. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system.
    (CVE-2021-20321)

  - The fix for XSA-365 includes initialization of pointers such that subsequent cleanup code wouldn't use     uninitialized or stale values. This initialization went too far and may under certain conditions also     overwrite pointers which are in need of cleaning up. The lack of cleanup would result in leaking     persistent grants. The leak in turn would prevent fully cleaning up after a respective guest has died,     leaving around zombie domains. All Linux versions having the fix for XSA-365 applied are vulnerable.
    XSA-365 was classified to affect versions back to at least 3.11. (CVE-2021-28688)

  - Insufficient control flow management for the Intel(R) 82599 Ethernet Controllers and Adapters may allow an     authenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via local access. (CVE-2021-33061)

  - net/nfc/llcp_sock.c in the Linux kernel before 5.12.10 allows local unprivileged users to cause a denial     of service (NULL pointer dereference and BUG) by making a getsockname call after a certain type of failure     of a bind call. (CVE-2021-38208)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's FUSE filesystem in the way a user triggers write().
    This flaw allows a local user to gain unauthorized access to data from the FUSE filesystem, resulting in     privilege escalation. (CVE-2022-1011)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in fs/ext4/namei.c:dx_insert_block() in the Linux kernel's filesystem sub-     component. This flaw allows a local attacker with a user privilege to cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2022-1184)

  - A vulnerability was found in the pfkey_register function in net/key/af_key.c in the Linux kernel. This     flaw allows a local, unprivileged user to gain access to kernel memory, leading to a system crash or a     leak of internal kernel information. (CVE-2022-1353)

  - The root cause of this vulnerability is that the ioctl$DRM_IOCTL_MODE_DESTROY_DUMB can decrease refcount     of *drm_vgem_gem_object *(created in *vgem_gem_dumb_create*) concurrently, and *vgem_gem_dumb_create *will     access the freed drm_vgem_gem_object. (CVE-2022-1419)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's X.25 set of standardized network protocols     functionality in the way a user terminates their session using a simulated Ethernet card and continued     usage of this connection. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system. (CVE-2022-1516)

  - Linux Kernel could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a concurrency     use-after-free flaw in the bad_flp_intr function. By executing a specially-crafted program, an attacker     could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition on the     system. (CVE-2022-1652)

  - A race condition was found the Linux kernel in perf_event_open() which can be exploited by an unprivileged     user to gain root privileges. The bug allows to build several exploit primitives such as kernel address     information leak, arbitrary execution, etc. (CVE-2022-1729)

  - A flaw in Linux Kernel found in nfcmrvl_nci_unregister_dev() in drivers/nfc/nfcmrvl/main.c can lead to use     after free both read or write when non synchronized between cleanup routine and firmware download routine.
    (CVE-2022-1734)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFC core functionality due to a race condition     between kobject creation and delete. This vulnerability allows a local attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN     privilege to leak kernel information. (CVE-2022-1974)

  - There is a sleep-in-atomic bug in /net/nfc/netlink.c that allows an attacker to crash the Linux kernel by     simulating a nfc device from user-space. (CVE-2022-1975)

  - Incomplete cleanup of multi-core shared buffers for some Intel(R) Processors may allow an authenticated     user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-21123)

  - Incomplete cleanup of microarchitectural fill buffers on some Intel(R) Processors may allow an     authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-21125)

  - Incomplete cleanup in specific special register read operations for some Intel(R) Processors may allow an     authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-21127)

  - Incomplete cleanup in specific special register write operations for some Intel(R) Processors may allow an     authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-21166)

  - Improper input validation for some Intel(R) Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially     cause a denial of service via local access. (CVE-2022-21180)

  - KGDB and KDB allow read and write access to kernel memory, and thus should be restricted during lockdown.
    An attacker with access to a serial port could trigger the debugger so it is important that the debugger     respect the lockdown mode when/if it is triggered. (CVE-2022-21499)

  - usb_8dev_start_xmit in drivers/net/can/usb/usb_8dev.c in the Linux kernel through 5.17.1 has a double     free. (CVE-2022-28388)

  - ems_usb_start_xmit in drivers/net/can/usb/ems_usb.c in the Linux kernel through 5.17.1 has a double free.
    (CVE-2022-28390)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.17.2 mishandles seccomp permissions. The PTRACE_SEIZE code path allows attackers     to bypass intended restrictions on setting the PT_SUSPEND_SECCOMP flag. (CVE-2022-30594)

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.4.129-62.227. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.4-2022-004 advisory.

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernels implementation of wifi fragmentation handling. An attacker with the     ability to transmit within the wireless transmission range of an access point can abuse a flaw where     previous contents of wifi fragments can be unintentionally transmitted to another device. (CVE-2020-24586)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's WiFi implementation. An attacker within the wireless range can     abuse a logic flaw in the WiFi implementation by reassembling packets from multiple fragments under     different keys, treating them as valid. This flaw allows an attacker to send a fragment under an incorrect     key, treating them as a valid fragment under the new key. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality. (CVE-2020-24587)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernels wifi implementation. An attacker within wireless broadcast range can     inject custom data into the wireless communication circumventing checks on the data.  This can cause the     frame to pass checks and be considered a valid frame of a different type. (CVE-2020-24588)

    Frames used for authentication and key management between the AP and connected clients.  Some clients may     take these redirected frames masquerading as control mechanisms from the AP. (CVE-2020-26139)

    A vulnerability was found in Linux kernel's WiFi implementation.  An attacker within wireless range can     inject a control packet fragment where the kernel does not verify the Message Integrity Check     (authenticity) of fragmented TKIP frames. (CVE-2020-26141)

    A flaw was found in ath10k_htt_rx_proc_rx_frag_ind_hl in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/htt_rx.c in the     Linux kernel WiFi implementations, where it accepts a second (or subsequent) broadcast fragments even when     sent in plaintext and then process them as full unfragmented frames. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to integrity. (CVE-2020-26145)

    A flaw was found in ieee80211_rx_h_defragment in net/mac80211/rx.c in the Linux Kernel's WiFi     implementation. This vulnerability can be abused to inject packets or exfiltrate selected fragments when     another device sends fragmented frames, and the WEP, CCMP, or GCMP data-confidentiality protocol is used.
    The highest threat from this vulnerability is to integrity. (CVE-2020-26147)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in certs/blacklist.c, When signature entries for EFI_CERT_X509_GUID     are contained in the Secure Boot Forbidden Signature Database, the entries are skipped. This can cause a     security threat and breach system integrity, confidentiality and even lead to a denial of service problem.
    (CVE-2020-26541)

    A vulnerability was found in the bluez, where Passkey Entry protocol used in Secure Simple Pairing (SSP),     Secure Connections (SC) and LE Secure Connections (LESC) of the Bluetooth Core Specification is vulnerable     to an impersonation attack where an active attacker can impersonate the initiating device without any     previous knowledge. (CVE-2020-26558)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. Improper access control in BlueZ may allow an authenticated user to     potentially enable information disclosure via adjacent access. The highest threat from this vulnerability     is to data confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2021-0129)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's KVM implementation, where improper handing of the VM_IO|VM_PFNMAP     VMAs in KVM bypasses RO checks and leads to pages being freed while still accessible by the VMM and guest.
    This flaw allows users who can start and control a VM to read/write random pages of memory, resulting in     local privilege escalation. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity,     and system availability. (CVE-2021-22543)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handling of the removal of Bluetooth HCI controllers. This flaw     allows an attacker with a local account to exploit a race condition, leading to corrupted memory and     possible privilege escalation. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality,     integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-32399)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in hci_send_acl in the bluetooth host controller interface (HCI) in Linux     kernel, where a local attacker with an access rights could cause a denial of service problem on the system     The issue results from the object hchan, freed in hci_disconn_loglink_complete_evt, yet still used in     other places. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data integrity, confidentiality and system     availability. (CVE-2021-33034)

    The canbus filesystem in the Linux kernel contains an information leak of kernel memory to devices on the     CAN bus network link layer.  An attacker with the ability to dump messages on the CAN bus is able to learn     of uninitialized stack values by dumbing messages on the can bus. (CVE-2021-34693)

    An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in fs/f2fs/node.c in the f2fs module in the Linux     kernel. A bounds check failure 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-2021-3506)

    A flaw double-free memory corruption in the Linux kernel HCI device initialization subsystem was found in     the way user attach malicious HCI TTY Bluetooth device. A local user could use this flaw to crash the     system. (CVE-2021-3564)

    A flaw use-after-free in function hci_sock_bound_ioctl() of the Linux kernel HCI subsystem was found in     the way user calls ioct HCIUNBLOCKADDR or other way triggers race condition of the call     hci_unregister_dev() together with one of the calls hci_sock_blacklist_add(), hci_sock_blacklist_del(),     hci_get_conn_info(), hci_get_auth_info(). A privileged local user could use this flaw to crash the system     or escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2021-3573)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernels NFC implementation, A NULL pointer dereference and BUG leading to a     denial of service can be triggered by a local unprivileged user causing a kernel panic. (CVE-2021-38208)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    HID: usbhid: fix info leak in hid_submit_ctrl

    In hid_submit_ctrl(), the way of calculating the report length doesn'ttake into account that report->size     can be zero. When running thesyzkaller reproducer, a report of size 0 causes hid_submit_ctrl) tocalculate     transfer_buffer_length as 16384. When this urb is passed tothe usb core layer, KMSAN reports an info leak     of 16384 bytes.

    To fix this, first modify hid_report_len() to account for the zeroreport size case by using DIV_ROUND_UP     for the division. Then, call itfrom hid_submit_ctrl(). (CVE-2021-46906)

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

  - 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)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel in versions prior to v5.14-rc1. Missing size validations on     inbound SCTP packets may allow the kernel to read uninitialized memory. (CVE-2021-3655)

  - 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)

  - hso_free_net_device in drivers/net/usb/hso.c in the Linux kernel through 5.13.4 calls unregister_netdev     without checking for the NETREG_REGISTERED state, leading to a use-after-free and a double free.
    (CVE-2021-37159)

  - ** 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)

  - fs/nfs/nfs4client.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.4 has incorrect connection-setup ordering, which     allows operators of remote NFSv4 servers to cause a denial of service (hanging of mounts) by arranging for     those servers to be unreachable during trunking detection. (CVE-2021-38199)

  - 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)

  - 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/nfc/llcp_sock.c in the Linux kernel before 5.12.10 allows local unprivileged users to cause a denial     of service (NULL pointer dereference and BUG) by making a getsockname call after a certain type of failure     of a bind call. (CVE-2021-38208)

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

  - The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent     Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that received fragments be cleared from memory after (re)connecting to a     network. Under the right circumstances, when another device sends fragmented frames encrypted using WEP,     CCMP, or GCMP, this can be abused to inject arbitrary network packets and/or exfiltrate user data.
    (CVE-2020-24586)

  - The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent     Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that all fragments of a frame are encrypted under the same key. An adversary     can abuse this to decrypt selected fragments when another device sends fragmented frames and the WEP,     CCMP, or GCMP encryption key is periodically renewed. (CVE-2020-24587)

  - The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent     Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that the A-MSDU flag in the plaintext QoS header field is authenticated.
    Against devices that support receiving non-SSP A-MSDU frames (which is mandatory as part of 802.11n), an     adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets. (CVE-2020-24588)

  - An issue was discovered in the kernel in NetBSD 7.1. An Access Point (AP) forwards EAPOL frames to other     clients even though the sender has not yet successfully authenticated to the AP. This might be abused in     projected Wi-Fi networks to launch denial-of-service attacks against connected clients and makes it easier     to exploit other vulnerabilities in connected clients. (CVE-2020-26139)

  - An issue was discovered in the ALFA Windows 10 driver 6.1316.1209 for AWUS036H. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and     WPA3 implementations accept plaintext frames in a protected Wi-Fi network. An adversary can abuse this to     inject arbitrary data frames independent of the network configuration. (CVE-2020-26140)

  - An issue was discovered in the ALFA Windows 10 driver 6.1316.1209 for AWUS036H. The Wi-Fi implementation     does not verify the Message Integrity Check (authenticity) of fragmented TKIP frames. An adversary can     abuse this to inject and possibly decrypt packets in WPA or WPA2 networks that support the TKIP data-     confidentiality protocol. (CVE-2020-26141)

  - An issue was discovered in the kernel in OpenBSD 6.6. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 implementations treat     fragmented frames as full frames. An adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets,     independent of the network configuration. (CVE-2020-26142)

  - An issue was discovered in the ALFA Windows 10 driver 1030.36.604 for AWUS036ACH. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and     WPA3 implementations accept fragmented plaintext frames in a protected Wi-Fi network. An adversary can     abuse this to inject arbitrary data frames independent of the network configuration. (CVE-2020-26143)

  - An issue was discovered on Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305 4.4.4 devices. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3     implementations accept second (or subsequent) broadcast fragments even when sent in plaintext and process     them as full unfragmented frames. An adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets     independent of the network configuration. (CVE-2020-26145)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 5.8.9. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 implementations reassemble     fragments even though some of them were sent in plaintext. This vulnerability can be abused to inject     packets and/or exfiltrate selected fragments when another device sends fragmented frames and the WEP,     CCMP, or GCMP data-confidentiality protocol is used. (CVE-2020-26147)

  - In the nl80211_policy policy of nl80211.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: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID:
    A-119770583 (CVE-2020-27068)

  - A heap out-of-bounds write affecting Linux since v2.6.19-rc1 was discovered in net/netfilter/x_tables.c.
    This allows an attacker to gain privileges or cause a DoS (via heap memory corruption) through user name     space (CVE-2021-22555)

  - ** 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-2021-35477)

  - 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)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel in versions prior to v5.14-rc1. Missing size validations on     inbound SCTP packets may allow the kernel to read uninitialized memory. (CVE-2021-3655)
