In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf/x86/amd/core: Always clear status for idx The variable 'status' (which contains the unhandled overflow bits) is not being properly masked in some cases, displaying the following warning: WARNING: CPU: 156 PID: 475601 at arch/x86/events/amd/core.c:972 amd_pmu_v2_handle_irq+0x216/0x270 This seems to be happening because the loop is being continued before the status bit being unset, in case x86_perf_event_set_period() returns 0. This is also causing an inconsistency because the "handled" counter is incremented, but the status bit is not cleaned. Move the bit cleaning together above, together when the "handled" counter is incremented.

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

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

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

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf/x86/amd/core: Always clear status     for idx The variable 'status' (which contains the unhandled overflow bits) is not being properly masked in     some cases, displaying the following warning: WARNING: CPU: 156 PID: 475601 at     arch/x86/events/amd/core.c:972 amd_pmu_v2_handle_irq+0x216/0x270 This seems to be happening because the     loop is being continued before the status bit being unset, in case x86_perf_event_set_period() returns 0.
    This is also causing an inconsistency because the handled counter is incremented, but the status bit is     not cleaned. Move the bit cleaning together above, together when the handled counter is incremented.
    (CVE-2023-53073)

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

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-1054 advisory.

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel Traffic Control (TC) subsystem. Using a specific networking     configuration (redirecting egress packets to ingress using TC action mirred) a local unprivileged user     could trigger a CPU soft lockup (ABBA deadlock) when the transport protocol in use (TCP or SCTP) does a     retransmission, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2022-4269)

    A NULL pointer dereference has been discovered in the Linux Kernel, in io_file_bitmap_get in     io_uring/filetable.c. (CVE-2023-1583)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in btrfs_search_slot in fs/btrfs/ctree.c in btrfs in the Linux Kernel.This     flaw allows an attacker to crash the system and possibly cause a kernel information lea (CVE-2023-1611)

    An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's SLIMpro I2C device driver. The     userspace data->block[0] variable was not capped to a number between 0-255 and was used as the size of a     memcpy, possibly writing beyond the end of dma_buffer. This flaw could allow a local privileged user to     crash the system or potentially achieve code execution. (CVE-2023-2194)

    dm stats: check for and propagate alloc_percpu failure (CVE-2023-53044)
