High Nessus Plugin ID 136115

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 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.
