Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:1016 advisory.

- kernel: out of bound read in DVB connexant driver. (CVE-2015-9289)

- Kernel: net: using kernel space address bits to derive IP ID may potentially break KASLR (CVE-2019-10639)

- kernel: ASLR bypass for setuid binaries due to late install_exec_creds() (CVE-2019-11190)

- kernel: sensitive information disclosure from kernel stack memory via HIDPCONNADD command (CVE-2019-11884)

- kernel: unchecked kstrdup of fwstr in drm_load_edid_firmware leads to denial of service (CVE-2019-12382)

- kernel: buffer-overflow hardening in WiFi beacon validation code. (CVE-2019-16746)

- kernel: powerpc: incomplete Spectre-RSB mitigation leads to information exposure (CVE-2019-18660)

- kernel: perf_event_open() and execve() race in setuid programs allows a data leak (CVE-2019-3901)

- kernel: triggering AP to send IAPP location updates for stations before the required authentication process has completed can lead to DoS (CVE-2019-5108)

- kernel: brcmfmac frame validation bypass (CVE-2019-9503)

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