The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-003438 advisory.

    The IPv6 fragmentation implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.11.1 does not consider that the     nexthdr field may be associated with an invalid option, which allows local users to cause a denial of     service (out-of-bounds read and BUG) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted socket and send     system calls.

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

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

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks.

  - CVE-2017-7487     Li Qiang reported a reference counter leak in the     ipxitf_ioctl function which may result into a     use-after-free vulnerability, triggerable when a IPX     interface is configured.

  - CVE-2017-7645     Tuomas Haanpaa and Matti Kamunen from Synopsys Ltd     discovered that the NFSv2 and NFSv3 server     implementations are vulnerable to an out-of-bounds     memory access issue while processing arbitrarily long     arguments sent by NFSv2/NFSv3 PRC clients, leading to a     denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-7895     Ari Kauppi from Synopsys Ltd discovered that the NFSv2     and NFSv3 server implementations do not properly handle     payload bounds checking of WRITE requests. A remote     attacker with write access to a NFS mount can take     advantage of this flaw to read chunks of arbitrary     memory from both kernel-space and user-space.

  - CVE-2017-8064     Arnd Bergmann found that the DVB-USB core misused the     device logging system, resulting in a use-after-free     vulnerability, with unknown security impact.

  - CVE-2017-8890     It was discovered that the net_csk_clone_lock() function     allows a remote attacker to cause a double free leading     to a denial of service or potentially have other impact.

  - CVE-2017-8924     Johan Hovold found that the io_ti USB serial driver     could leak sensitive information if a malicious USB     device was connected.

  - CVE-2017-8925     Johan Hovold found a reference counter leak in the     omninet USB serial driver, resulting in a use-after-free     vulnerability. This can be triggered by a local user     permitted to open tty devices.

  - CVE-2017-9074     Andrey Konovalov reported that the IPv6 fragmentation     implementation could read beyond the end of a packet     buffer. A local user or guest VM might be able to use     this to leak sensitive information or to cause a denial     of service (crash).

  - CVE-2017-9075     Andrey Konovalov reported that the SCTP/IPv6     implementation wrongly initialised address lists on     connected sockets, resulting in a use-after-free     vulnerability, a similar issue to CVE-2017-8890. This     can be triggered by any local user.

  - CVE-2017-9076 / CVE-2017-9077     Cong Wang found that the TCP/IPv6 and DCCP/IPv6     implementations wrongly initialised address lists on     connected sockets, a similar issue to CVE-2017-9075.

  - CVE-2017-9242     Andrey Konovalov reported a packet buffer overrun in the     IPv6 implementation. A local user could use this for     denial of service (memory corruption; crash) and     possibly for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2017-1000364     The Qualys Research Labs discovered that the size of the     stack guard page is not sufficiently large. The     stack-pointer can jump over the guard-page and moving     from the stack into another memory region without     accessing the guard-page. In this case no page-fault     exception is raised and the stack extends into the other     memory region. An attacker can exploit this flaw for     privilege escalation.

  The default stack gap protection is set to 256 pages and can be   configured via the stack_guard_gap kernel parameter on the kernel   command line.

  Further details can be found at   https://www.qualys.com/2017/06/19/stack-clash/stack-clash.txt

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:1842 advisory.

    The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

    Security Fix(es):

    * An use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel which enables a race condition in the L2TPv3 IP     Encapsulation feature. A local user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges or crash the system.
    (CVE-2016-10200, Important)

    * A flaw was found that can be triggered in keyring_search_iterator in keyring.c if type->match is NULL. A     local user could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges.
    (CVE-2017-2647, Important)

    * It was found that the NFSv4 server in the Linux kernel did not properly validate layout type when     processing NFSv4 pNFS LAYOUTGET and GETDEVICEINFO operands. A remote attacker could use this flaw to soft-     lockup the system and thus cause denial of service. (CVE-2017-8797, Important)

    This update also fixes multiple Moderate and Low impact security issues:

    * CVE-2015-8839, CVE-2015-8970, CVE-2016-9576, CVE-2016-7042, CVE-2016-7097, CVE-2016-8645, CVE-2016-9576,     CVE-2016-9588, CVE-2016-9806, CVE-2016-10088, CVE-2016-10147, CVE-2017-2596, CVE-2017-2671, CVE-2017-5970,     CVE-2017-6001, CVE-2017-6951, CVE-2017-7187, CVE-2017-7616, CVE-2017-7889, CVE-2017-8890, CVE-2017-9074,     CVE-2017-8890, CVE-2017-9075, CVE-2017-8890, CVE-2017-9076, CVE-2017-8890, CVE-2017-9077, CVE-2017-9242,     CVE-2014-7970, CVE-2014-7975, CVE-2016-6213, CVE-2016-9604, CVE-2016-9685
