The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has libxkbcommon packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Unchecked NULL pointer usage in LookupModMask in     xkbcomp/expr.c in xkbcommon before 0.8.2 could be used     by local attackers to crash (NULL pointer dereference)     the xkbcommon parser by supplying a crafted keymap file     with invalid virtual modifiers. (CVE-2018-15862)

  - Unchecked NULL pointer usage in ResolveStateAndPredicate     in xkbcomp/compat.c in xkbcommon before 0.8.2 could be     used by local attackers to crash (NULL pointer     dereference) the xkbcommon parser by supplying a crafted     keymap file with a no-op modmask expression.
    (CVE-2018-15863)

  - Unchecked NULL pointer usage in resolve_keysym in     xkbcomp/parser.y in xkbcommon before 0.8.2 could be used     by local attackers to crash (NULL pointer dereference)     the xkbcommon parser by supplying a crafted keymap file,     because a map access attempt can occur for a map that     was never created. (CVE-2018-15864)

  - Endless recursion exists in xkbcomp/expr.c in xkbcommon     and libxkbcommon before 0.8.1, which could be used by     local attackers to crash xkbcommon users by supplying a     crafted keymap file that triggers boolean negation.
    (CVE-2018-15853)

  - Unchecked NULL pointer usage when parsing invalid atoms     in ExprResolveLhs in xkbcomp/expr.c in xkbcommon before     0.8.2 could be used by local attackers to crash (NULL     pointer dereference) the xkbcommon parser by supplying a     crafted keymap file, because lookup failures are     mishandled. (CVE-2018-15859)

  - Unchecked NULL pointer usage in ExprResolveLhs in     xkbcomp/expr.c in xkbcommon before 0.8.2 could be used     by local attackers to crash (NULL pointer dereference)     the xkbcommon parser by supplying a crafted keymap file     that triggers an xkb_intern_atom failure.
    (CVE-2018-15861)

  - An invalid free in ExprAppendMultiKeysymList in     xkbcomp/ast-build.c in xkbcommon before 0.8.1 could be     used by local attackers to crash xkbcommon keymap     parsers or possibly have unspecified other impact by     supplying a crafted keymap file. (CVE-2018-15857)

  - An infinite loop when reaching EOL unexpectedly in     compose/parser.c (aka the keymap parser) in xkbcommon     before 0.8.1 could be used by local attackers to cause a     denial of service during parsing of crafted keymap     files. (CVE-2018-15856)

  - Unchecked NULL pointer usage in xkbcommon before 0.8.1     could be used by local attackers to crash (NULL pointer     dereference) the xkbcommon parser by supplying a crafted     keymap file, because the XkbFile for an xkb_geometry     section was mishandled. (CVE-2018-15855)

  - Unchecked NULL pointer usage in xkbcommon before 0.8.1     could be used by local attackers to crash (NULL pointer     dereference) the xkbcommon parser by supplying a crafted     keymap file, because geometry tokens were desupported     incorrectly. (CVE-2018-15854)

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 5.16. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-5.16 advisory.

  - Gnome Pango 1.42 and later is affected by: Buffer Overflow. The impact is: The heap based buffer overflow     can be used to get code execution. The component is: function name: pango_log2vis_get_embedding_levels,     assignment of nchars and the loop condition. The attack vector is: Bug can be used when application pass     invalid utf-8 strings to functions like pango_itemize. (CVE-2019-1010238)

  - curl before version 7.61.1 is vulnerable to a buffer overrun in the NTLM authentication code. The internal     function Curl_ntlm_core_mk_nt_hash multiplies the length of the password by two (SUM) to figure out how     large temporary storage area to allocate from the heap. The length value is then subsequently used to     iterate over the password and generate output into the allocated storage buffer. On systems with a 32 bit     size_t, the math to calculate SUM triggers an integer overflow when the password length exceeds 2GB (2^31     bytes). This integer overflow usually causes a very small buffer to actually get allocated instead of the     intended very huge one, making the use of that buffer end up in a heap buffer overflow. (This bug is     almost identical to CVE-2017-8816.) (CVE-2018-14618)

  - An issue was discovered in XListExtensions in ListExt.c in libX11 through 1.6.5. A malicious server can     send a reply in which the first string overflows, causing a variable to be set to NULL that will be freed     later on, leading to DoS (segmentation fault). (CVE-2018-14598)

  - An issue was discovered in libX11 through 1.6.5. The function XListExtensions in ListExt.c is vulnerable     to an off-by-one error caused by malicious server responses, leading to DoS or possibly unspecified other     impact. (CVE-2018-14599)

  - An issue was discovered in libX11 through 1.6.5. The function XListExtensions in ListExt.c interprets a     variable as signed instead of unsigned, resulting in an out-of-bounds write (of up to 128 bytes), leading     to DoS or remote code execution. (CVE-2018-14600)

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

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 5.11.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-5.11.2 advisory.

According to the versions of the libxkbcommon package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An infinite loop when reaching EOL unexpectedly in     compose/parser.c (aka the keymap parser) in xkbcommon     before 0.8.1 could be used by local attackers to cause     a denial of service during parsing of crafted keymap     files.(CVE-2018-15856)

  - Unchecked NULL pointer usage in xkbcommon before 0.8.1     could be used by local attackers to crash (NULL pointer     dereference) the xkbcommon parser by supplying a     crafted keymap file, because the XkbFile for an     xkb_geometry section was mishandled.(CVE-2018-15855)

  - Unchecked NULL pointer usage in xkbcommon before 0.8.1     could be used by local attackers to crash (NULL pointer     dereference) the xkbcommon parser by supplying a     crafted keymap file, because geometry tokens were     desupported incorrectly.(CVE-2018-15854)

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2020-1433 advisory.

    It was discovered that libX11 does not properly validate input coming from the server, causing     XListExtensions() and XGetFontPath() functions to produce an invalid list of elements that in turn make     XFreeExtensionsList() and XFreeFontPath() access invalid memory. An attacker who can either configure a     malicious X server or modify the data coming from one, could use this flaw to crash the application using     libX11, resulting in a denial of service.(CVE-2018-14598)

    An off-by-one error has been discovered in libX11 in functions XGetFontPath(), XListExtensions(), and     XListFonts(). An attacker who can either configure a malicious X server or modify the data coming from one     could use this flaw to make the program crash or have other unspecified effects, caused by the memory     corruption.(CVE-2018-14599)

    An out of bounds write, limited to NULL bytes, was discovered in libX11 in functions XListExtensions() and     XGetFontPath(). The length field is considered as a signed value, which makes the library access memory     before the intended buffer. An attacker who can either configure a malicious X server or modify the data     coming from one could use this flaw to make the program crash or have other unspecified effects, caused by     the memory corruption.(CVE-2018-14600)

    An uncontrolled recursion flaw was found in libxkbcommon in the way it parses boolean expressions. A     specially crafted file provided to xkbcomp could crash the application. (CVE-2018-15853)

    Unchecked NULL pointer usage in xkbcommon before 0.8.1 could be used by local attackers to crash (NULL     pointer dereference) the xkbcommon parser by supplying a crafted keymap file, because geometry tokens were     desupported incorrectly. (CVE-2018-15854)

    Unchecked NULL pointer usage in xkbcommon before 0.8.1 could be used by local attackers to crash (NULL     pointer dereference) the xkbcommon parser by supplying a crafted keymap file, because the XkbFile for an     xkb_geometry section was mishandled. (CVE-2018-15855)

    An infinite loop when reaching EOL unexpectedly in compose/parser.c (aka the keymap parser) in xkbcommon     before 0.8.1 could be used by local attackers to cause a denial of service during parsing of crafted     keymap files. (CVE-2018-15856)

    An invalid free in ExprAppendMultiKeysymList in xkbcomp/ast-build.c in xkbcommon before 0.8.1 could be     used by local attackers to crash xkbcommon keymap parsers or possibly have unspecified other impact by     supplying a crafted keymap file. (CVE-2018-15857)

    Unchecked NULL pointer usage when parsing invalid atoms in ExprResolveLhs in xkbcomp/expr.c in xkbcommon     before 0.8.2 could be used by local attackers to crash (NULL pointer dereference) the xkbcommon parser by     supplying a crafted keymap file, because lookup failures are mishandled. (CVE-2018-15859)

    Unchecked NULL pointer usage in ExprResolveLhs in xkbcomp/expr.c in xkbcommon before 0.8.2 could be used     by local attackers to crash (NULL pointer dereference) the xkbcommon parser by supplying a crafted keymap     file that triggers an xkb_intern_atom failure. (CVE-2018-15861)

    Unchecked NULL pointer usage in LookupModMask in xkbcomp/expr.c in xkbcommon before 0.8.2 could be used by     local attackers to crash (NULL pointer dereference) the xkbcommon parser by supplying a crafted keymap     file with invalid virtual modifiers. (CVE-2018-15862)
