According to the versions of the parallels-server-bm-release / vzkernel / etc packages installed, the Virtuozzo installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern     microprocessor designs have implemented speculative     execution of instructions (a commonly used performance     optimization). There are three primary variants of the     issue which differ in the way the speculative execution     can be exploited. Variant CVE-2017-5754 relies on the     fact that, on impacted microprocessors, during     speculative execution of instruction permission faults,     exception generation triggered by a faulting access is     suppressed until the retirement of the whole     instruction block. In a combination with the fact that     memory accesses may populate the cache even when the     block is being dropped and never committed (executed),     an unprivileged local attacker could use this flaw to     read privileged (kernel space) memory by conducting     targeted cache side-channel attacks. NOTE: This update     fixes the 32-bit compatibility layer on x86-64     processors, i.e. when 32-bit containers are executed on     64-bit processors.

  - A bug in the 32-bit compatibility layer of the ioctl     handling code of the v4l2 video driver in the Linux     kernel has been found. A memory protection mechanism     ensuring that user-provided buffers always point to a     userspace memory were disabled, allowing destination     address to be in a kernel space. This flaw could be     exploited by an attacker to overwrite a kernel memory     from an unprivileged userspace process, leading to     privilege escalation.

  - The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel omitted an     access-control check when writing a key to the current     task's default keyring, allowing a local user to bypass     security checks to the keyring. This compromises the     validity of the keyring for those who rely on it.

  - A flaw was found in the processing of incoming L2CAP     bluetooth commands. Uninitialized stack variables can     be sent to an attacker leaking data in kernel address     space.

  - Linux kernel before version 4.16-rc7 is vulnerable to a     null pointer dereference in dccp_write_xmit() function     in net/dccp/output.c in that allows a local user to     cause a denial of service by a number of certain     crafted system calls.

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled     exceptions delivered after a stack switch operation via     Mov SS or Pop SS instructions. During the stack switch     operation, the processor did not deliver interrupts and     exceptions, rather they are delivered once the first     instruction after the stack switch is executed. An     unprivileged system user could use this flaw to crash     the system kernel resulting in the denial of service.

  - net/netfilter/xt_osf.c in the Linux kernel through     4.14.4 does not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     for add_callback and remove_callback operations. This     allows local users to bypass intended access     restrictions because the xt_osf_fingers data structure     is shared across all network namespaces.

  - The futex_requeue function in kernel/futex.c in the     Linux kernel, before 4.14.15, might allow attackers to     cause a denial of service (integer overflow) or     possibly have unspecified other impacts by triggering a     negative wake or requeue value.

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.
