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

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/uffd: fix pte marker when fork()     without fork event Patch series mm: Fixes on pte markers. Patch 1 resolves the syzkiller report from     Pengfei. Patch 2 further harden pte markers when used with the recent swapin error markers. The major case     is we should persist a swapin error marker after fork(), so child shouldn't read a corrupted page. This     patch (of 2): When fork(), dst_vma is not guaranteed to have VM_UFFD_WP even if src may have it and has     pte marker installed. The warning is improper along with the comment. The right thing is to inherit the     pte marker when needed, or keep the dst pte empty. A vague guess is this happened by an accident when     there's the prior patch to introduce src/dst vma into this helper during the uffd-wp feature got developed     and I probably messed up in the rebase, since if we replace dst_vma with src_vma the warning & comment it     all makes sense too. Hugetlb did exactly the right here (copy_hugetlb_page_range()). Fix the general path.
    Reproducer: https://github.com/xupengfe/syzkaller_logs/blob/main/221208_115556_copy_page_range/repro.c     Bugzilla report: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216808 (CVE-2022-49744)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-132 advisory.

    It has been discovered that on some AMD CPUs, the RAS (Return Address Stack, also called RAP - Return     Address Predictor - in some AMD documentation, and RSB - Return Stack Buffer - in Intel terminology) is     dynamically partitioned between non-idle threads.  This allows an attacker to control speculative     execution on the adjacent thread. (CVE-2022-27672)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    ovl: Use buf flexible array for memcpy() destination (CVE-2022-49743)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    mm/uffd: fix pte marker when fork() without fork event (CVE-2022-49744)

    The upstream bug report describes this issue as follows:

    A flaw found in the Linux Kernel in RDS (Reliable Datagram Sockets) protocol. The     rds_rm_zerocopy_callback() uses list_entry() on the head of a list causing a type confusion. Local user     can trigger this with rds_message_put(). Type confusion leads to `struct rds_msg_zcopy_info *info`     actually points to something else that is potentially controlled by local user. It is known how to trigger     this, which causes an OOB access, and a lock corruption. (CVE-2023-1078)

    A flaw was found in the Framebuffer Console (fbcon) in the Linux Kernel. When providing a font->width and     font->height greater than 32 to the fbcon_set_font, since there are no checks in place, a shift-out-of-     bounds occurs, leading to undefined behavior and possible denial of service. (CVE-2023-3161)

    brcm_nvram_parse in drivers/nvmem/brcm_nvram.c lacks check of the return value of kzalloc() and will cause     the NULL Pointer Dereference (CVE-2023-3359)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in vcs_read in drivers/tty/vt/vc_screen.c in vc_screen in the Linux     Kernel. In this flaw an attacker with local user access may lead to a system crash or a leak of internal     kernel information. (CVE-2023-3567)

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1783355084 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hwmon: (w83792d) Fix NULL pointer     dereference by removing unnecessary structure field If driver read val value sufficient for (val & 0x08)     && (!(val & 0x80)) && ((val & 0x7) == ((val >> 4) & 0x7)) from device then Null pointer dereference     occurs.
