  - Amazon Linux has been made aware of a potential Branch Target Injection (BTI) issue (sometimes referred to     as Spectre variant 2). This is a known cross-domain transient execution attack where a third party may     seek to cause a disclosure gadget to be speculatively executed after an indirect branch prediction.
    Generally, actors who attempt transient execution attacks do not have access to the data on the hosts they     attempt to access (e.g. where privilege-level isolation is in place). For such attacks to succeed, actors     need to be able to run code on the (virtual) machine hosting the data in which they are interested.

    - CVE-2022-0002: Fixed Intra-Mode Branch Target Injection vulnerability (bsc#1191580).
    - CVE-2022-0847: Fixed a vulnerability were a local attackers could overwrite data in arbitrary (read-     only) files (bsc#1196584).
    - CVE-2022-0617: Fixed a null pointer dereference in UDF file system functionality. A local user could     crash the system by triggering udf_file_write_iter() via a malicious UDF image. (bsc#1196079)
    - CVE-2022-0644: Fixed a denial of service by a local user. A assertion failure could be triggered in     kernel_read_file_from_fd() (bsc#1196155).
    - CVE-2021-44879: In gc_data_segment() in fs/f2fs/gc.c, special files were not considered, which lead to a     move_data_page NULL pointer dereference (bsc#1195987).
    - CVE-2022-24959: Fixed a memory leak in yam_siocdevprivate() in drivers/net/hamradio/yam.c (bsc#1195897).
    - CVE-2022-0487: A use-after-free vulnerability was found in rtsx_usb_ms_drv_remove() in     drivers/memstick/host/rtsx_usb_ms.c (bsc#1194516).
    - CVE-2022-0492: Fixed a privilege escalation related to cgroups v1 release_agent feature, which allowed     bypassing namespace isolation unexpectedly (bsc#1195543).
    - CVE-2022-24448: Fixed an issue in fs/nfs/dir.c. If an application sets the O_DIRECTORY flag, and tries     to open a regular file, nfs_atomic_open() performs a regular lookup. If a regular file is found, ENOTDIR     should have occured, but the server instead returned uninitialized data in the file descriptor     (bsc#1195612).
    - CVE-2022-25375: The RNDIS USB gadget lacks validation of the size of the RNDIS_MSG_SET command.
    Attackers can obtain sensitive information from kernel memory (bsc#1196235).
    - CVE-2022-0516: Fixed missing check in ioctl related to KVM in s390 allows kernel memory read/write     (bsc#1195516).
    - CVE-2022-25258: The USB Gadget subsystem lacked certain validation of interface OS descriptor requests,     which could have lead to memory corruption (bsc#1196096).
    - CVE-2022-24958: drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/inode.c mishandled dev->buf release (bsc#1195905).


Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE 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 kernel-generic installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.27 / 5.15.27_smp. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2022-067-01 advisory.

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in rtsx_usb_ms_drv_remove in drivers/memstick/host/rtsx_usb_ms.c     in memstick in the Linux kernel. In this flaw, a local attacker with a user privilege may impact system     Confidentiality. This flaw affects kernel versions prior to 5.14 rc1. (CVE-2022-0487)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's cgroup_release_agent_write in the     kernel/cgroup/cgroup-v1.c function. This flaw, under certain circumstances, allows the use of the cgroups     v1 release_agent feature to escalate privileges and bypass the namespace isolation unexpectedly.
    (CVE-2022-0492)

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/usb/gadget/composite.c in the Linux kernel before 5.16.10. The USB     Gadget subsystem lacks certain validation of interface OS descriptor requests (ones with a large array     index and ones associated with NULL function pointer retrieval). Memory corruption might occur.
    (CVE-2022-25258)

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/usb/gadget/function/rndis.c in the Linux kernel before 5.16.10. The     RNDIS USB gadget lacks validation of the size of the RNDIS_MSG_SET command. Attackers can obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory. (CVE-2022-25375)

  - net/netfilter/nf_dup_netdev.c in the Linux kernel 5.4 through 5.6.10 allows local users to gain privileges     because of a heap out-of-bounds write. This is related to nf_tables_offload. (CVE-2022-25636)

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2022:0777 advisory.

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

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

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5092 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.15.2, mwifiex_usb_recv in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/usb.c allows     an attacker (who can connect a crafted USB device) to cause a denial of service (skb_over_panic).
    (CVE-2021-43976)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/nfs/dir.c in the Linux kernel before 5.16.5. If an application sets the     O_DIRECTORY flag, and tries to open a regular file, nfs_atomic_open() performs a regular lookup. If a     regular file is found, ENOTDIR should occur, but the server instead returns uninitialized data in the file     descriptor. (CVE-2022-24448)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.16.5. There is a memory leak in yam_siocdevprivate in     drivers/net/hamradio/yam.c. (CVE-2022-24959)

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/usb/gadget/composite.c in the Linux kernel before 5.16.10. The USB     Gadget subsystem lacks certain validation of interface OS descriptor requests (ones with a large array     index and ones associated with NULL function pointer retrieval). Memory corruption might occur.
    (CVE-2022-25258)
