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 :
- [3.10.0-693.21.1.vz7.46.7 to 3.10.0-957.12.2.vz7.96.21] Use-after-free in __blk_drain_queue() function. It was found that a use-after-free condition could be triggered in the block device subsystem while the outstanding command queue was drained. A patient local attacker can use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, to escalate their privileges.
- [3.10.0-693.21.1.vz7.46.7 to 3.10.0-957.12.2.vz7.96.21] tun: potential kernel crash when TUNSETIFF ioctl operation is used for a device with an invalid name.
- [3.10.0-693.21.1.vz7.46.7 to 3.10.0-957.12.2.vz7.96.21] Certain operations with iptables in a container may crash the kernel.
- [3.10.0-693.21.1.vz7.46.7 to 3.10.0-957.12.2.vz7.96.21] A container that tries to mount NFS shares may cause the whole system to hang in certain conditions.
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.
