An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.16-rc6. _rtw_init_xmit_priv in drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_xmit.c lacks check of the return value of rtw_alloc_hwxmits() and will cause the null pointer dereference.

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

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.16-rc6. _rtw_init_xmit_priv in     drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_xmit.c lacks check of the return value of rtw_alloc_hwxmits() and will     cause the null pointer dereference. (CVE-2022-3110)

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

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.16-rc6. uapi_finalize in     drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_uapi.c lacks check of kmalloc_array(). (CVE-2022-3105)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.16-rc6. netvsc_get_ethtool_stats in     drivers/net/hyperv/netvsc_drv.c lacks check of the return value of kvmalloc_array() and will cause the     null pointer dereference. (CVE-2022-3107)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.16-rc6. kfd_parse_subtype_iolink in     drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdkfd/kfd_crat.c lacks check of the return value of kmemdup(). (CVE-2022-3108)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.16-rc6. _rtw_init_xmit_priv in     drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_xmit.c lacks check of the return value of rtw_alloc_hwxmits() and will     cause the null pointer dereference. (CVE-2022-3110)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.16-rc6. free_charger_irq() in     drivers/power/supply/wm8350_power.c lacks free of WM8350_IRQ_CHG_FAST_RDY, which is registered in     wm8350_init_charger(). (CVE-2022-3111)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.16-rc6. malidp_crtc_reset in     drivers/gpu/drm/arm/malidp_crtc.c lacks check of the return value of kzalloc() and will cause the null     pointer dereference. (CVE-2022-3115)

  - A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel video4linux driver was found in the way user triggers     em28xx_usb_probe() for the Empia 28xx based TV cards. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system     or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-3239)

  - A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Linux Kernel. Affected by this issue     is the function del_timer of the file drivers/isdn/mISDN/l1oip_core.c of the component Bluetooth. The     manipulation leads to use after free. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The identifier     of this vulnerability is VDB-211088. (CVE-2022-3565)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A NULL pointer dereference may occur while a slip driver is in     progress to detach in sl_tx_timeout in drivers/net/slip/slip.c. This issue could allow an attacker to     crash the system or leak internal kernel information. (CVE-2022-41858)

  - Guests can trigger deadlock in Linux netback driver T[his CNA information record relates to multiple CVEs;
    the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.] The patch for XSA-392 introduced     another issue which might result in a deadlock when trying to free the SKB of a packet dropped due to the     XSA-392 handling (CVE-2022-42328). Additionally when dropping packages for other reasons the same deadlock     could occur in case of netpoll being active for the interface the xen-netback driver is connected to     (CVE-2022-42329). (CVE-2022-42328, CVE-2022-42329)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.9. drivers/media/dvb-core/dvbdev.c has a use-     after-free, related to dvb_register_device dynamically allocating fops. (CVE-2022-45884)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.9. drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_frontend.c has a     race condition that can cause a use-after-free when a device is disconnected. (CVE-2022-45885)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.9. drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_net.c has a     .disconnect versus dvb_device_open race condition that leads to a use-after-free. (CVE-2022-45886)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.9. drivers/media/usb/ttusb-dec/ttusb_dec.c has a     memory leak because of the lack of a dvb_frontend_detach call. (CVE-2022-45887)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.10. In drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_ca_en50221.c, a     use-after-free can occur is there is a disconnect after an open, because of the lack of a wait_event.
    (CVE-2022-45919)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.10. l2cap_config_req in net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c     has an integer wraparound via L2CAP_CONF_REQ packets. (CVE-2022-45934)

  - cbq_classify in net/sched/sch_cbq.c in the Linux kernel through 6.1.4 allows attackers to cause a denial     of service (slab-out-of-bounds read) because of type confusion (non-negative numbers can sometimes     indicate a TC_ACT_SHOT condition rather than valid classification results). (CVE-2023-23454)

  - atm_tc_enqueue in net/sched/sch_atm.c in the Linux kernel through 6.1.4 allows attackers to cause a denial     of service because of type confusion (non-negative numbers can sometimes indicate a TC_ACT_SHOT condition     rather than valid classification results). (CVE-2023-23455)

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 installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2022-3110 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.16-rc6. _rtw_init_xmit_priv in     drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_xmit.c lacks check of the return value of rtw_alloc_hwxmits() and will     cause the null pointer dereference. (CVE-2022-3110)
