The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5096 advisory.

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation,     denial of service or information leaks. CVE-2020-29374 Jann Horn of Google reported a flaw in Linux's     virtual memory management. A parent and child process initially share all their memory, but when either     writes to a shared page, the page is duplicated and unshared (copy-on-write). However, in case an     operation such as vmsplice() required the kernel to take an additional reference to a shared page, and a     copy-on-write occurs during this operation, the kernel might have accessed the wrong process's memory. For     some programs, this could lead to an information leak or data corruption. This issue was already fixed for     most architectures, but not on MIPS and System z. This update corrects that. CVE-2020-36322,     CVE-2021-28950 The syzbot tool found that the FUSE (filesystem-in-user-space) implementation did not     correctly handle a FUSE server returning invalid attributes for a file. A local user permitted to run a     FUSE server could use this to cause a denial of service (crash). The original fix for this introduced a     different potential denial of service (infinite loop in kernel space), which has also been fixed.
    CVE-2021-3640 Lin Ma discovered a race condiiton in the Bluetooth protocol implementation that can lead to     a use-after-free. A local user could exploit this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or     crash) or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2021-3744, CVE-2021-3764 minihanshen reported bugs in the     ccp driver for AMD Cryptographic Coprocessors that could lead to a resource leak. On systems using this     driver, a local user could exploit this to cause a denial of service. CVE-2021-3752 Likang Luo of NSFOCUS     Security Team discovered a flaw in the Bluetooth L2CAP implementation that can lead to a user-after-free.
    A local user could exploit this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for     privilege escalation. CVE-2021-3760, CVE-2021-4202 Lin Ma discovered race conditions in the NCI (NFC     Controller Interface) driver, which could lead to a use-after-free. A local user could exploit this to     cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation. This driver     is not enabled in Debian's official kernel configurations. CVE-2021-3772 A flaw was found in the SCTP     protocol implementation, which would allow a networked attacker to break an SCTP association. The attacker     would only need to know or guess the IP addresses and ports for the association. CVE-2021-4002 It was     discovered that hugetlbfs, the virtual filesystem used by applications to allocate huge pages in RAM, did     not flush the CPU's TLB in one case where it was necessary. In some circumstances a local user would be     able to read and write huge pages after they are freed and reallocated to a different process. This could     lead to privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks. CVE-2021-4083 Jann Horn reported a     race condition in the local (Unix) sockets garbage collector, that can lead to use-after-free. A local     user could exploit this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for     privilege escalation. CVE-2021-4135 A flaw was found in the netdevsim driver which would lead to an     information leak. This driver is not enabled in Debian's official kernel configurations. CVE-2021-4155     Kirill Tkhai discovered a data leak in the way the XFS_IOC_ALLOCSP IOCTL in the XFS filesystem allowed for     a size increase of files with unaligned size. A local attacker can take advantage of this flaw to leak     data on the XFS filesystem. CVE-2021-4203 Jann Horn reported a race condition in the local (Unix) sockets     implementation that can lead to a use-after-free. A local user could exploit this to leak sensitive     information from the kernel. CVE-2021-20317 It was discovered that the timer queue structure could become     corrupt, leading to waiting tasks never being woken up. A local user with certain privileges could exploit     this to cause a denial of service (system hang). CVE-2021-20321 A race condition was discovered in the     overlayfs filesystem driver. A local user with access to an overlayfs mount and to its underlying upper     directory could exploit this for privilege escalation. CVE-2021-20322 An information leak was discovered     in the IPv4 implementation. A remote attacker could exploit this to quickly discover which UDP ports a     system is using, making it easier for them to carry out a DNS poisoning attack against that system.
    CVE-2021-22600 The syzbot tool found a flaw in the packet socket (AF_PACKET) implementation which could     lead to incorrectly freeing memory. A local user with CAP_NET_RAW capability (in any user namespace) could     exploit this for denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.
    CVE-2021-28711, CVE-2021-28712, CVE-2021-28713 (XSA-391) Juergen Gross reported that malicious PV backends     can cause a denial of service to guests being serviced by those backends via high frequency events, even     if those backends are running in a less privileged environment. CVE-2021-28714, CVE-2021-28715 (XSA-392)     Juergen Gross discovered that Xen guests can force the Linux netback driver to hog large amounts of kernel     memory, resulting in denial of service. CVE-2021-38300 Piotr Krysiuk discovered a flaw in the classic BPF     (cBPF) JIT compiler for MIPS architectures. A local user could exploit this to excute arbitrary code in     the kernel. This issue is mitigated by setting sysctl net.core.bpf_jit_enable=0, which is the default. It     is *not* mitigated by disabling unprivileged use of eBPF. CVE-2021-39685 Szymon Heidrich discovered a     buffer overflow vulnerability in the USB gadget subsystem, resulting in information disclosure, denial of     service or privilege escalation. CVE-2021-39686 A race condition was discovered in the Android binder     driver, that could lead to incorrect security checks. On systems where the binder driver is loaded, a     local user could exploit this for privilege escalation. CVE-2021-39698 Linus Torvalds reported a flaw in     the file polling implementation, which could lead to a use-after-free. A local user could exploit this for     denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2021-39713 The     syzbot tool found a race condition in the network scheduling subsystem which could lead to a use-after-     free. A local user could exploit this for denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for     privilege escalation. CVE-2021-41864 An integer overflow was discovered in the Extended BPF (eBPF)     subsystem. A local user could exploit this for denial of service (memory corruption or crash), or possibly     for privilege escalation. This can be mitigated by setting sysctl kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled=1,     which disables eBPF use by unprivileged users. CVE-2021-42739 A heap buffer overflow was discovered in the     firedtv driver for FireWire-connected DVB receivers. A local user with access to a firedtv device could     exploit this for denial of service (memory corruption or crash), or possibly for privilege escalation.
    CVE-2021-43389 The Active Defense Lab of Venustech discovered a flaw in the CMTP subsystem as used by     Bluetooth, which could lead to an out-of-bounds read and object type confusion. A local user with     CAP_NET_ADMIN capability in the initial user namespace could exploit this for denial of service (memory     corruption or crash), or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2021-43975 Brendan Dolan-Gavitt reported a     flaw in the hw_atl_utils_fw_rpc_wait() function in the aQuantia AQtion ethernet device driver which can     result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. CVE-2021-43976 Zekun Shen and Brendan     Dolan-Gavitt discovered a flaw in the mwifiex_usb_recv() function of the Marvell WiFi-Ex USB Driver. An     attacker able to connect a crafted USB device can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of     service. CVE-2021-44733 A race condition was discovered in the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)     subsystem for Arm processors, which could lead to a use-after-free. A local user permitted to access a TEE     device could exploit this for denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege     escalation. CVE-2021-45095 It was discovered that the Phone Network protocol (PhoNet) driver has a     reference count leak in the pep_sock_accept() function. CVE-2021-45469 Wenqing Liu reported an out-of-     bounds memory access in the f2fs implementation if an inode has an invalid last xattr entry. An attacker     able to mount a specially crafted image can take advantage of this flaw for denial of service.
    CVE-2021-45480 A memory leak flaw was discovered in the __rds_conn_create() function in the RDS (Reliable     Datagram Sockets) protocol subsystem. CVE-2022-0001 (INTEL-SA-00598) Researchers at VUSec discovered that     the Branch History Buffer in Intel processors can be exploited to create information side channels with     speculative execution. This issue is similar to Spectre variant 2, but requires additional mitigations on     some processors. This can be exploited to obtain sensitive information from a different security context,     such as from user-space to the kernel, or from a KVM guest to the kernel. CVE-2022-0002 (INTEL-SA-00598)     This is a similar issue to CVE-2022-0001, but covers exploitation within a security context, such as from     JIT-compiled code in a sandbox to hosting code in the same process. This can be partly mitigated by     disabling eBPF for unprivileged users with the sysctl: kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled=2. This update     does that by default. CVE-2022-0322 Eiichi Tsukata discovered a flaw in the sctp_make_strreset_req()     function in the SCTP network protocol implementation which can result in denial of service. CVE-2022-0330     Sushma Venkatesh Reddy discovered a missing GPU TLB flush in the i915 driver, resulting in denial of     service or privilege escalation. CVE-2022-0435 Samuel Page and Eric Dumazet reported a stack overflow in     the networking module for the Transparent Inter-Process Communication (TIPC) protocol, resulting in denial     of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code. CVE-2022-0487 A use-after-free was discovered     in the MOXART SD/MMC Host Controller support driver. This flaw does not impact the Debian binary packages     as CONFIG_MMC_MOXART is not set. CVE-2022-0492 Yiqi Sun and Kevin Wang reported that the cgroup-v1     subsystem does not properly restrict access to the release-agent feature. A local user can take advantage     of this flaw for privilege escalation and bypass of namespace isolation. CVE-2022-0617 butt3rflyh4ck     discovered a NULL pointer dereference in the UDF filesystem. A local user that can mount a specially     crafted UDF image can use this flaw to crash the system. CVE-2022-0644 Hao Sun reported a missing check     for file read permission in the finit_module() and kexec_file_load() system calls. The security impact of     this is unclear, since these system calls are usually only available to the root user. CVE-2022-22942 It     was discovered that wrong file file descriptor handling in the VMware Virtual GPU driver (vmwgfx) could     result in information leak or privilege escalation. CVE-2022-24448 Lyu Tao reported a flaw in the NFS     implementation in the Linux kernel when handling requests to open a directory on a regular file, which     could result in a information leak. CVE-2022-24959 A memory leak was discovered in the     yam_siocdevprivate() function of the YAM driver for AX.25, which could result in denial of service.
    CVE-2022-25258 Szymon Heidrich reported the USB Gadget subsystem lacks certain validation of interface OS     descriptor requests, resulting in memory corruption. CVE-2022-25375 Szymon Heidrich reported that the     RNDIS USB gadget lacks validation of the size of the RNDIS_MSG_SET command, resulting in information leak     from kernel memory.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) allows reinstallation of the Group Temporal Key (GTK) during the     group key handshake, allowing an attacker within radio range to replay frames from access points to     clients. (CVE-2017-13080)

  - It was found that cephx authentication protocol did not verify ceph clients correctly and was vulnerable     to replay attack. Any attacker having access to ceph cluster network who is able to sniff packets on     network can use this vulnerability to authenticate with ceph service and perform actions allowed by ceph     service. Ceph branches master, mimic, luminous and jewel are believed to be vulnerable. (CVE-2018-1128)

  - The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent     Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that received fragments be cleared from memory after (re)connecting to a     network. Under the right circumstances, when another device sends fragmented frames encrypted using WEP,     CCMP, or GCMP, this can be abused to inject arbitrary network packets and/or exfiltrate user data.
    (CVE-2020-24586)

  - The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent     Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that all fragments of a frame are encrypted under the same key. An adversary     can abuse this to decrypt selected fragments when another device sends fragmented frames and the WEP,     CCMP, or GCMP encryption key is periodically renewed. (CVE-2020-24587)

  - The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent     Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that the A-MSDU flag in the plaintext QoS header field is authenticated.
    Against devices that support receiving non-SSP A-MSDU frames (which is mandatory as part of 802.11n), an     adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets. (CVE-2020-24588)

  - An issue was discovered in the kernel in NetBSD 7.1. An Access Point (AP) forwards EAPOL frames to other     clients even though the sender has not yet successfully authenticated to the AP. This might be abused in     projected Wi-Fi networks to launch denial-of-service attacks against connected clients and makes it easier     to exploit other vulnerabilities in connected clients. (CVE-2020-26139)

  - An issue was discovered in the ALFA Windows 10 driver 6.1316.1209 for AWUS036H. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and     WPA3 implementations accept plaintext frames in a protected Wi-Fi network. An adversary can abuse this to     inject arbitrary data frames independent of the network configuration. (CVE-2020-26140)

  - An issue was discovered in the ALFA Windows 10 driver 6.1316.1209 for AWUS036H. The Wi-Fi implementation     does not verify the Message Integrity Check (authenticity) of fragmented TKIP frames. An adversary can     abuse this to inject and possibly decrypt packets in WPA or WPA2 networks that support the TKIP data-     confidentiality protocol. (CVE-2020-26141)

  - An issue was discovered in the kernel in OpenBSD 6.6. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 implementations treat     fragmented frames as full frames. An adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets,     independent of the network configuration. (CVE-2020-26142)

  - An issue was discovered in the ALFA Windows 10 driver 1030.36.604 for AWUS036ACH. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and     WPA3 implementations accept fragmented plaintext frames in a protected Wi-Fi network. An adversary can     abuse this to inject arbitrary data frames independent of the network configuration. (CVE-2020-26143)

  - An issue was discovered on Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305 4.4.4 devices. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3     implementations accept plaintext A-MSDU frames as long as the first 8 bytes correspond to a valid RFC1042     (i.e., LLC/SNAP) header for EAPOL. An adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets     independent of the network configuration. (CVE-2020-26144)

  - An issue was discovered on Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305 4.4.4 devices. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3     implementations accept second (or subsequent) broadcast fragments even when sent in plaintext and process     them as full unfragmented frames. An adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets     independent of the network configuration. (CVE-2020-26145)

  - An issue was discovered on Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305 4.4.4 devices. The WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 implementations     reassemble fragments with non-consecutive packet numbers. An adversary can abuse this to exfiltrate     selected fragments. This vulnerability is exploitable when another device sends fragmented frames and the     WEP, CCMP, or GCMP data-confidentiality protocol is used. Note that WEP is vulnerable to this attack by     design. (CVE-2020-26146)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 5.8.9. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 implementations reassemble     fragments even though some of them were sent in plaintext. This vulnerability can be abused to inject     packets and/or exfiltrate selected fragments when another device sends fragmented frames and the WEP,     CCMP, or GCMP data-confidentiality protocol is used. (CVE-2020-26147)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of MIDI, where an attacker with a local account and     the permissions to issue ioctl commands to midi devices could trigger a use-after-free issue. A write to     this specific memory while freed and before use causes the flow of execution to change and possibly allow     for memory corruption or privilege escalation. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-27786)

  - In unix_scm_to_skb of af_unix.c, there is a possible use after free bug due to a race condition. This     could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is     not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID: A-196926917References:
    Upstream kernel (CVE-2021-0920)

    (CVE-2021-20321)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the ARM SIGPAGE functionality of Linux Kernel v5.4.66     and v5.4.54. The latest version (5.11-rc4) seems to still be vulnerable. A userland application can read     the contents of the sigpage, which can leak kernel memory contents. An attacker can read a process's     memory at a specific offset to trigger this vulnerability. This was fixed in kernel releases: 4.14.222     4.19.177 5.4.99 5.10.17 5.11 (CVE-2021-21781)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.3 when a webcam device exists. video_usercopy in     drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c has a memory leak for large arguments, aka CID-fb18802a338b.
    (CVE-2021-30002)

  - Improper input validation in the Intel(R) Ethernet ixgbe driver for Linux before version 3.17.3 may allow     an authenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via local access. (CVE-2021-33098)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel in versions prior to v5.14-rc1. Missing size validations on     inbound SCTP packets may allow the kernel to read uninitialized memory. (CVE-2021-3655)

  - A lack of CPU resource in the Linux kernel tracing module functionality in versions prior to 5.14-rc3 was     found in the way user uses trace ring buffer in a specific way. Only privileged local users (with     CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability) could use this flaw to starve the resources causing denial of service.
    (CVE-2021-3679)

  - hso_free_net_device in drivers/net/usb/hso.c in the Linux kernel through 5.13.4 calls unregister_netdev     without checking for the NETREG_REGISTERED state, leading to a use-after-free and a double free.
    (CVE-2021-37159)

  - 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 flaw was found in the Linux SCTP stack. A blind attacker may be able to kill an existing SCTP     association through invalid chunks if the attacker knows the IP-addresses and port numbers being used and     the attacker can send packets with spoofed IP addresses. (CVE-2021-3772)

  - ** DISPUTED ** In drivers/char/virtio_console.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.4, data corruption or loss     can be triggered by an untrusted device that supplies a buf->len value exceeding the buffer size. NOTE:
    the vendor indicates that the cited data corruption is not a vulnerability in any existing use case; the     length validation was added solely for robustness in the face of anomalous host OS behavior.
    (CVE-2021-38160)

  - net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_standalone.c in the Linux kernel before 5.12.2 allows observation of changes in     any net namespace because these changes are leaked into all other net namespaces. This is related to the     NF_SYSCTL_CT_MAX, NF_SYSCTL_CT_EXPECT_MAX, and NF_SYSCTL_CT_BUCKETS sysctls. (CVE-2021-38209)

  - A memory leak flaw in the Linux kernel's hugetlbfs memory usage was found in the way the user maps some     regions of memory twice using shmget() which are aligned to PUD alignment with the fault of some of the     memory pages. A local user could use this flaw to get unauthorized access to some data. (CVE-2021-4002)

  - A read-after-free memory flaw was found in the Linux kernel's garbage collection for Unix domain socket     file handlers in the way users call close() and fget() simultaneously and can potentially trigger a race     condition. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system.
    This flaw affects Linux kernel versions prior to 5.16-rc4. (CVE-2021-4083)

  - A vulnerability was found in btrfs_alloc_tree_b in fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c in the Linux kernel due to an     improper lock operation in btrfs. In this flaw, a user with a local privilege may cause a denial of     service (DOS) due to a deadlock problem. (CVE-2021-4149)

  - An out of memory bounds write flaw (1 or 2 bytes of memory) in the Linux kernel NFS subsystem was found in     the way users use mirroring (replication of files with NFS). A user, having access to the NFS mount, could     potentially use this flaw to crash the system or escalate privileges on the system. (CVE-2021-4157)

  - An unprivileged write to the file handler flaw in the Linux kernel's control groups and namespaces     subsystem was found in the way users have access to some less privileged process that are controlled by     cgroups and have higher privileged parent process. It is actually both for cgroup2 and cgroup1 versions of     control groups. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the     system. (CVE-2021-4197)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.15.2, mwifiex_usb_recv in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/usb.c allows     an attacker (who can connect a crafted USB device) to cause a denial of service (skb_over_panic).
    (CVE-2021-43976)

  - In gc_data_segment in fs/f2fs/gc.c in the Linux kernel before 5.16.3, special files are not considered,     leading to a move_data_page NULL pointer dereference. (CVE-2021-44879)

  - In __f2fs_setxattr in fs/f2fs/xattr.c in the Linux kernel through 5.15.11, there is an out-of-bounds     memory access when an inode has an invalid last xattr entry. (CVE-2021-45469)

  - In the IPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel before 5.13.3, net/ipv6/output_core.c has an information     leak because of certain use of a hash table which, although big, doesn't properly consider that IPv6-based     attackers can typically choose among many IPv6 source addresses. (CVE-2021-45485)

  - In the IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel before 5.12.4, net/ipv4/route.c has an information leak     because the hash table is very small. (CVE-2021-45486)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's cgroup_release_agent_write in the     kernel/cgroup/cgroup-v1.c function. This flaw, under certain circumstances, allows the use of the cgroups     v1 release_agent feature to escalate privileges and bypass the namespace isolation unexpectedly.
    (CVE-2022-0492)

  - A flaw null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel UDF file system functionality was found in the way     user triggers udf_file_write_iter function for the malicious UDF image. A local user could use this flaw     to crash the system. Actual from Linux kernel 4.2-rc1 till 5.17-rc2. (CVE-2022-0617)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's FUSE filesystem in the way a user triggers write().
    This flaw allows a local user to gain unauthorized access to data from the FUSE filesystem, resulting in     privilege escalation. (CVE-2022-1011)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Rogue backends can cause DoS of guests via high frequency events T[his CNA information record relates to     multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.] Xen offers the     ability to run PV backends in regular unprivileged guests, typically referred to as 'driver domains'.
    Running PV backends in driver domains has one primary security advantage: if a driver domain gets     compromised, it doesn't have the privileges to take over the system. However, a malicious driver domain     could try to attack other guests via sending events at a high frequency leading to a Denial of Service in     the guest due to trying to service interrupts for elongated amounts of time. There are three affected     backends: * blkfront patch 1, CVE-2021-28711 * netfront patch 2, CVE-2021-28712 * hvc_xen (console) patch     3, CVE-2021-28713 (CVE-2021-28711, CVE-2021-28712, CVE-2021-28713)

  - Guest can force Linux netback driver to hog large amounts of kernel memory T[his CNA information record     relates to multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.]     Incoming data packets for a guest in the Linux kernel's netback driver are buffered until the guest is     ready to process them. There are some measures taken for avoiding to pile up too much data, but those can     be bypassed by the guest: There is a timeout how long the client side of an interface can stop consuming     new packets before it is assumed to have stalled, but this timeout is rather long (60 seconds by default).
    Using a UDP connection on a fast interface can easily accumulate gigabytes of data in that time.
    (CVE-2021-28715) The timeout could even never trigger if the guest manages to have only one free slot in     its RX queue ring page and the next package would require more than one free slot, which may be the case     when using GSO, XDP, or software hashing. (CVE-2021-28714) (CVE-2021-28714, CVE-2021-28715)

  - In gre_handle_offloads of ip_gre.c, there is a possible page fault due to an invalid memory access.

This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution     privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android     kernelAndroid ID: A-210292376References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2021-39685)

  - An unprivileged write to the file handler flaw in the Linux kernel's control groups and namespaces     subsystem was found in the way users have access to some less privileged process that are controlled by     cgroups and have higher privileged parent process. It is actually both for cgroup2 and cgroup1 versions of     control groups. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the     system. (CVE-2021-4197)

  - A use-after-free read flaw was found in sock_getsockopt() in net/core/sock.c due to SO_PEERCRED and     SO_PEERGROUPS race with listen() (and connect()) in the Linux kernel. In this flaw, an attacker with a     user privileges may crash the system or leak internal kernel information. (CVE-2021-4203)

  - A use-after-free exists in drivers/tee/tee_shm.c in the TEE subsystem in the Linux kernel through 5.15.11.
    This occurs because of a race condition in tee_shm_get_from_id during an attempt to free a shared memory     object. (CVE-2021-44733)

  - In __f2fs_setxattr in fs/f2fs/xattr.c in the Linux kernel through 5.15.11, there is an out-of-bounds     memory access when an inode has an invalid last xattr entry. (CVE-2021-45469)

  - A flaw was found in the sctp_make_strreset_req function in net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c in the SCTP network     protocol in the Linux kernel with a local user privilege access. In this flaw, an attempt to use more     buffer than is allocated triggers a BUG_ON issue, leading to a denial of service (DOS). (CVE-2022-0322)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - In __f2fs_setxattr in fs/f2fs/xattr.c in the Linux kernel through 5.15.11, there is an out-of-bounds     memory access when an inode has an invalid last xattr entry. (CVE-2021-45469)
