New! Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR)
Tenable calculates a dynamic VPR for every vulnerability. VPR combines vulnerability information with threat intelligence and machine learning algorithms to predict which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited in attacks. Read more about what VPR is and how it's different from CVSS.

Synopsis
The remote Virtuozzo host is missing a security update.
Description
According to the version of the vzkernel package and the readykernel-patch installed, the Virtuozzo installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :
- ChunYu Wang from Red Hat found a netlink use-after-free issue by syzkaller. Access to already freed memory (groups in struct netlink_sock) could cause host crash or memory corruption.
- An unprivileged user inside a container could cause a denial of service (kernel crash in user_read() function) using a specially crafted sequence of system calls.
- The iscsi_if_rx function in drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c in the Linux kernel through 4.13.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) by leveraging incorrect length validation.
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Virtuozzo security advisory.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
Solution
Update the readykernel patch.
