The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 5.20.3.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-5.20.3.6 advisory.

  - In various methods of hid-multitouch.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds     check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed.

  - A flaw double-free memory corruption in the Linux kernel HCI device initialization subsystem was found in     the way user attach malicious HCI TTY Bluetooth device. A local user could use this flaw to crash the     system. This flaw affects all the Linux kernel versions starting from 3.13. (CVE-2021-3564)

  - A use-after-free in function hci_sock_bound_ioctl() of the Linux kernel HCI subsystem was found in the way     user calls ioct HCIUNBLOCKADDR or other way triggers race condition of the call hci_unregister_dev()     together with one of the calls hci_sock_blacklist_add(), hci_sock_blacklist_del(), hci_get_conn_info(),     hci_get_auth_info(). A privileged local user could use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their     privileges on the system. This flaw affects the Linux kernel versions prior to 5.13-rc5. (CVE-2021-3573)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth subsystem in the way user calls connect to     the socket and disconnect simultaneously due to a race condition. This flaw allows a user to crash the     system or escalate their privileges. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality,     integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-3752)

  - A data leak flaw was found in the way XFS_IOC_ALLOCSP IOCTL in the XFS filesystem allowed for size     increase of files with unaligned size. A local attacker could use this flaw to leak data on the XFS     filesystem otherwise not accessible to them. (CVE-2021-4155)

  - A random memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's GPU i915 kernel driver functionality in the     way a user may run malicious code on the GPU. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or     escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-0330)

  - The vmwgfx driver contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability that allows unprivileged users to     gain access to files opened by other processes on the system through a dangling 'file' pointer.
    (CVE-2022-22942)

  - A flaw was found in OpenLDAP. This flaw allows an attacker who can send a malicious packet to be processed     by OpenLDAP's slapd server, to trigger an assertion failure. The highest threat from this vulnerability is     to system availability. (CVE-2020-25709)

  - A flaw was found in OpenLDAP in versions before 2.4.56. This flaw allows an attacker who sends a malicious     packet processed by OpenLDAP to force a failed assertion in csnNormalize23(). The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2020-25710)

  - In Cyrus SASL 2.1.17 through 2.1.27 before 2.1.28, plugins/sql.c does not escape the password for a SQL     INSERT or UPDATE statement. (CVE-2022-24407)

  - An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt before 3003.3. A user who has control of the source, and     source_hash URLs can gain full file system access as root on a salt minion. (CVE-2021-21996)

  - Apache HTTP Server 2.4.52 and earlier fails to close inbound connection when errors are encountered     discarding the request body, exposing the server to HTTP Request Smuggling (CVE-2022-22720)

  - The BN_mod_sqrt() function, which computes a modular square root, contains a bug that can cause it to loop     forever for non-prime moduli. Internally this function is used when parsing certificates that contain     elliptic curve public keys in compressed form or explicit elliptic curve parameters with a base point     encoded in compressed form. It is possible to trigger the infinite loop by crafting a certificate that has     invalid explicit curve parameters. Since certificate parsing happens prior to verification of the     certificate signature, any process that parses an externally supplied certificate may thus be subject to a     denial of service attack. The infinite loop can also be reached when parsing crafted private keys as they     can contain explicit elliptic curve parameters. Thus vulnerable situations include: - TLS clients     consuming server certificates - TLS servers consuming client certificates - Hosting providers taking     certificates or private keys from customers - Certificate authorities parsing certification requests from     subscribers - Anything else which parses ASN.1 elliptic curve parameters Also any other applications that     use the BN_mod_sqrt() where the attacker can control the parameter values are vulnerable to this DoS     issue. In the OpenSSL 1.0.2 version the public key is not parsed during initial parsing of the certificate     which makes it slightly harder to trigger the infinite loop. However any operation which requires the     public key from the certificate will trigger the infinite loop. In particular the attacker can use a self-     signed certificate to trigger the loop during verification of the certificate signature. This issue     affects OpenSSL versions 1.0.2, 1.1.1 and 3.0. It was addressed in the releases of 1.1.1n and 3.0.2 on the     15th March 2022. Fixed in OpenSSL 3.0.2 (Affected 3.0.0,3.0.1). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1n (Affected     1.1.1-1.1.1m). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2zd (Affected 1.0.2-1.0.2zc). (CVE-2022-0778)

  - In Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.3, a left shift by 29 (or more) places in the storeAtts function in     xmlparse.c can lead to realloc misbehavior (e.g., allocating too few bytes, or only freeing memory).
    (CVE-2021-45960)

  - In doProlog in xmlparse.c in Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.3, an integer overflow exists for     m_groupSize. (CVE-2021-46143)

  - Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.4 has a signed integer overflow in XML_GetBuffer, for configurations with     a nonzero XML_CONTEXT_BYTES. (CVE-2022-23852)

  - xmltok_impl.c in Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.5 lacks certain validation of encoding, such as checks     for whether a UTF-8 character is valid in a certain context. (CVE-2022-25235)

  - xmlparse.c in Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.5 allows attackers to insert namespace-separator characters     into namespace URIs. (CVE-2022-25236)

  - In Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.5, there is an integer overflow in storeRawNames. (CVE-2022-25315)
