In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: md/raid10: fix leak of 'r10bio->remaining' for recovery raid10_sync_request() will add 'r10bio->remaining' for both rdev and replacement rdev. However, if the read io fails, recovery_request_write() returns without issuing the write io, in this case, end_sync_request() is only called once and 'remaining' is leaked, cause an io hang. Fix the problem by decreasing 'remaining' according to if 'bio' and 'repl_bio' is valid.

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

  - md/raid10: fix leak of 'r10bio->remaining' for recovery raid10_sync_request() will add 'r10bio->remaining'     for both rdev and replacement rdev. However, if the read io fails, recovery_request_write() returns     without issuing the write io, in this case, end_sync_request() is only called once and 'remaining' is     leaked, cause an io hang. Fix the problem by decreasing 'remaining' according to if 'bio' and 'repl_bio'     is valid. (CVE-2023-53299)

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

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.318-240.529. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2100 advisory.

    It was discovered that a nft object or expression could reference a nft set on a different nft table,     leading to a use-after-free once that table was deleted. (CVE-2022-2586)

    A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Netfilter subsystem in the way a user provides     incorrect input of the NFT_DATA_VERDICT type. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially     escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-34918)

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

    btrfs: unset reloc control if transaction commit fails in prepare_to_relocate() (CVE-2022-50067)

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

    netfilter: nf_tables: do not allow SET_ID to refer to another table (CVE-2022-50213)

    A denial of service problem was found, due to a possible recursive locking scenario, resulting in a     deadlock in table_clear in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c in the Linux Kernel Device Mapper-Multipathing sub-     component. (CVE-2023-2269)

    do_tls_getsockopt in net/tls/tls_main.c in the Linux kernel through 6.2.6 lacks a lock_sock call, leading     to a race condition (with a resultant use-after-free or NULL pointer dereference). (CVE-2023-28466)

    A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux Kernel ipvlan network driver can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation.

    The out-of-bounds write is caused by missing skb->cb  initialization in the ipvlan network driver. The     vulnerability is reachable if CONFIG_IPVLAN is enabled.

    We recommend upgrading past commit 90cbed5247439a966b645b34eb0a2e037836ea8e. (CVE-2023-3090)

    A use after free vulnerability was found in prepare_to_relocate in fs/btrfs/relocation.c in btrfs in the     Linux Kernel. This possible flaw can be triggered by calling btrfs_ioctl_balance() before calling     btrfs_ioctl_defrag(). (CVE-2023-3111)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in r592_remove in drivers/memstick/host/r592.c in media access in the     Linux Kernel. This flaw allows a local attacker to crash the system at device disconnect, possibly leading     to a kernel information leak. (CVE-2023-3141)

    An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.3.3. There is an out-of-bounds read in crc16 in     lib/crc16.c when called from fs/ext4/super.c because ext4_group_desc_csum does not properly check an     offset. (CVE-2023-34256)

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

    ext4: add bounds checking in get_max_inline_xattr_value_size() (CVE-2023-53285)

    md/raid10: fix leak of 'r10bio->remaining' for recovery (CVE-2023-53299)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in the __ext4_remount in fs/ext4/super.c in ext4 in the Linux kernel. This     flaw allows a local user to cause an information leak problem while freeing the old quota file names     before a potential failure, leading to a use-after-free. (CVE-2024-0775)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product 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 installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.117-72.142. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.15-2023-021 advisory.

    In the Linux kernel through 6.2.7, fs/ntfs3/inode.c has an invalid kfree because it does not validate MFT     flags before replaying logs. (CVE-2022-48425)

    There is a potential deadlock in the eBPF subsystem in the Linux kernel.

    The default sysctl configuration kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled on Amazon Linux does not allow     unprivileged users to use eBPF. (CVE-2023-0160)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's networking subsystem within the RPL protocol's handling. This issue     results from the improper handling of user-supplied data, which can lead to an assertion failure. This     flaw allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to create a denial of service condition on the system.
    (CVE-2023-2156)

    A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux Kernel ipvlan network driver can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation.

    A flaw in the Linux Kernel found in the GFS2 file system. On corrupted gfs2 file systems the evict code     can try to reference the journal descriptor structure, jdesc, after it has been freed and set to NULL. It     can lead to null pointer dereference when gfs2_trans_begin being called and then fail     ingfs2_evict_inode(). (CVE-2023-3212)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in vcs_read in drivers/tty/vt/vc_screen.c in vc_screen in the Linux     Kernel. In this flaw an attacker with local user access may lead to a system crash or a leak of internal     kernel information. (CVE-2023-3567)

    An issue was discovered in fl_set_geneve_opt in net/sched/cls_flower.c in the Linux kernel before 6.3.7.
    It allows an out-of-bounds write in the flower classifier code via TCA_FLOWER_KEY_ENC_OPTS_GENEVE packets.
