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-2022:7444 advisory.

- kernel: off-path attacker may inject data or terminate victim's TCP session (CVE-2020-36516)

- kernel: race condition in VT_RESIZEX ioctl when vc_cons[i].d is already NULL leading to NULL pointer dereference (CVE-2020-36558)

- kernel: memory leak for large arguments in video_usercopy function in drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c (CVE-2021-30002)

- kernel: swiotlb information leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE (CVE-2022-0854)

- kernel: uninitialized registers on stack in nft_do_chain can cause kernel pointer leakage to UM (CVE-2022-1016)

- kernel: race condition in snd_pcm_hw_free leading to use-after-free (CVE-2022-1048)

- kernel: use-after-free in tc_new_tfilter() in net/sched/cls_api.c (CVE-2022-1055)

- kernel: use-after-free and memory errors in ext4 when mounting and operating on a corrupted image (CVE-2022-1184)

- kernel: NULL pointer dereference in x86_emulate_insn may lead to DoS (CVE-2022-1852)

- hw: cpu: Intel: Post-barrier Return Stack Buffer Predictions (CVE-2022-26373)

- kernel: openvswitch: integer underflow leads to out-of-bounds write in reserve_sfa_size() (CVE-2022-2639)

- kernel: memory leak in drivers/hid/hid-elo.c (CVE-2022-27950)

- kernel: double free in ems_usb_start_xmit in drivers/net/can/usb/ems_usb.c (CVE-2022-28390)

- kernel: use after free in SUNRPC subsystem (CVE-2022-28893)

- kernel: use-after-free when psi trigger is destroyed while being polled (CVE-2022-2938)

- kernel: use-after-free due to improper update of reference count in net/sched/cls_u32.c (CVE-2022-29581)

- kernel: DoS in nfqnl_mangle in net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue.c (CVE-2022-36946)

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