New! Plugin Severity Now Using CVSS v3

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

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:1769 advisory.

- kernel: nfs: NULL pointer dereference due to an anomalized NFS message sequence (CVE-2018-16871)

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

- kernel: An out-of-bounds read in drivers/scsi/qedi/qedi_dbg.c leading to crash or information disclosure (CVE-2019-15090)

- kernel: a NULL pointer dereference in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/usb.c leads to a crash (CVE-2019-15099)

- kernel: Null pointer dereference in the sound/usb/line6/pcm.c (CVE-2019-15221)

- kernel: unprivileged users able to create RAW sockets in AF_IEEE802154 network protocol. (CVE-2019-17053)

- kernel: unprivileged users able to create RAW sockets in AF_ISDN network protocol. (CVE-2019-17055)

- kernel: integer overflow in tcp_ack_update_rtt in net/ipv4/tcp_input.c (CVE-2019-18805)

- kernel: Two memory leaks in the mwifiex_pcie_init_evt_ring() function in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/pcie.c allows for a DoS (CVE-2019-19057)

- kernel: Memory leaks in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_hst.c in the Linux kernel (DOS) (CVE-2019-19073)

- kernel: a memory leak in the ath9k management function in allows local DoS (CVE-2019-19074)

- kernel: information leak bug caused by a malicious USB device in the drivers/net/can/usb/peak_usb/pcan_usb_core.c driver (CVE-2019-19534)

- kernel: use-after-free in __blk_add_trace in kernel/trace/blktrace.c (CVE-2019-19768)

- kernel: when cpu.cfs_quota_us is used allows attackers to cause a denial of service against non-cpu-bound applications (CVE-2019-19922)

- kernel: memory leak in the kernel_read_file function in fs/exec.c allows to cause a denial of service (CVE-2019-8980)

- kernel: some ipv6 protocols not encrypted over ipsec tunnel. (CVE-2020-1749)

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
