The remote MiracleLinux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2017-2376:09 advisory.

    * Out-of-bounds kernel heap access vulnerability was found in xfrm, kernel's IP framework for transforming     packets. An error dealing with netlink messages from an unprivileged user leads to arbitrary read/write     and privilege escalation. (CVE-2017-7184, Important)
      * A race condition issue leading to a use-after-free flaw was found in the way the raw packet sockets     are implemented in the Linux kernel networking subsystem handling synchronization. A local user able to     open a raw packet socket (requires the CAP_NET_RAW capability) could use this flaw to elevate their     privileges on the system. (CVE-2017-1000111, Important)
      * An exploitable memory corruption flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The append path can be     erroneously switched from UFO to non-UFO in ip_ufo_append_data() when building an UFO packet with MSG_MORE     option. If unprivileged user namespaces are available, this flaw can be exploited to gain root privileges.
    (CVE-2017-1000112, Important)
      * A flaw was found in the Linux networking subsystem where a local attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN     capabilities could cause an out-of-bounds memory access by creating a smaller-than-expected ICMP header     and sending to its destination via sendto(). (CVE-2016-8399, Moderate)
      * Kernel memory corruption due to a buffer overflow was found in brcmf_cfg80211_mgmt_tx() function in     Linux kernels from v3.9-rc1 to v4.13-rc1. The vulnerability can be triggered by sending a crafted     NL80211_CMD_FRAME packet via netlink. This flaw is unlikely to be triggered remotely as certain userspace     code is needed for this. An unprivileged local user could use this flaw to induce kernel memory corruption     on the system, leading to a crash. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully     ruled out, although it is unlikely. (CVE-2017-7541, Moderate)
      * An integer overflow vulnerability in ip6_find_1stfragopt() function was found. A local attacker that     has privileges (of CAP_NET_RAW) to open raw socket can cause an infinite loop inside the     ip6_find_1stfragopt() function. (CVE-2017-7542, Moderate)
      * A kernel data leak due to an out-of-bound read was found in the Linux kernel in     inet_diag_msg_sctp{,l}addr_fill() and sctp_get_sctp_info() functions present since version 4.7-rc1 through     version 4.13. A data leak happens when these functions fill in sockaddr data structures used to export     socket's diagnostic information. As a result, up to 100 bytes of the slab data could be leaked to a     userspace. (CVE-2017-7558, Moderate)
      * The mq_notify function in the Linux kernel through 4.11.9 does not set the sock pointer to NULL upon     entry into the retry logic. During a user-space close of a Netlink socket, it allows attackers to possibly     cause a situation where a value may be used after being freed (use-after-free) which may lead to memory     corruption or other unspecified other impact. (CVE-2017-11176, Moderate)
      * A divide-by-zero vulnerability was found in the __tcp_select_window function in the Linux kernel. This     can result in a kernel panic causing a local denial of service. (CVE-2017-14106, Moderate)     Asianux would like to thank Chaitin Security Research Lab for reporting     CVE-2017-7184; Willem de Bruijn for reporting CVE-2017-1000111; and Andrey     Konovalov for reporting CVE-2017-1000112. The CVE-2017-7558 issue was     discovered by Stefano Brivio (Asianux).
    CVE-2016-8399     An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the kernel networking     subsystem could enable a local malicious application to execute     arbitrary code within the context of the kernel. This issue is rated     as Moderate because it first requires compromising a privileged     process and current compiler optimizations restrict access to the     vulnerable code. Product: Android. Versions: Kernel-3.10, Kernel-3.18.
    Android ID: A-31349935.
    CVE-2017-1000111     Linux kernel: heap out-of-bounds in AF_PACKET sockets. This new issue     is analogous to previously disclosed CVE-2016-8655. In both cases, a     socket option that changes socket state may race with safety checks in     packet_set_ring. Previously with PACKET_VERSION. This time with     PACKET_RESERVE. The solution is similar: lock the socket for the     update. This issue may be exploitable, we did not investigate further.
    As this issue affects PF_PACKET sockets, it requires CAP_NET_RAW in     the process namespace. But note that with user namespaces enabled, any     process can create a namespace in which it has CAP_NET_RAW.
    CVE-2017-1000112     Linux kernel: Exploitable memory corruption due to UFO to non-UFO path     switch. When building a UFO packet with MSG_MORE __ip_append_data()     calls ip_ufo_append_data() to append. However in between two send()     calls, the append path can be switched from UFO to non-UFO one, which     leads to a memory corruption. In case UFO packet lengths exceeds MTU,     copy = maxfraglen - skb->len becomes negative on the non-UFO path and     the branch to allocate new skb is taken. This triggers fragmentation     and computation of fraggap = skb_prev->len - maxfraglen. Fraggap can     exceed MTU, causing copy = datalen - transhdrlen - fraggap to become     negative. Subsequently skb_copy_and_csum_bits() writes out-of-bounds.
    A similar issue is present in IPv6 code. The bug was introduced in     e89e9cf539a2 ([IPv4/IPv6]: UFO Scatter-gather approach) on Oct 18     2005.
    CVE-2017-11176     The mq_notify function in the Linux kernel through 4.11.9 does not set     the sock pointer to NULL upon entry into the retry logic. During a     user-space close of a Netlink socket, it allows attackers to cause a     denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other     impact.
    CVE-2017-14106     The tcp_disconnect function in net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.12 allows local users to cause a denial of service     (__tcp_select_window divide-by-zero error and system crash) by     triggering a disconnect within a certain tcp_recvmsg code path.
    CVE-2017-7184     The xfrm_replay_verify_len function in net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c in the     Linux kernel through 4.10.6 does not validate certain size data after     an XFRM_MSG_NEWAE update, which allows local users to obtain root     privileges or cause a denial of service (heap-based out-of-bounds     access) by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, as demonstrated     during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2017 for the Ubuntu 16.10     linux-image-* package 4.8.0.41.52.
    CVE-2017-7541     The brcmf_cfg80211_mgmt_tx function in     drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c in the     Linux kernel before 4.12.3 allows local users to cause a denial of     service (buffer overflow and system crash) or possibly gain privileges     via a crafted NL80211_CMD_FRAME Netlink packet.
    CVE-2017-7542     The ip6_find_1stfragopt function in net/ipv6/output_core.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.12.3 allows local users to cause a denial of service     (integer overflow and infinite loop) by leveraging the ability to open     a raw socket.
