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

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2019:3517 advisory.

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

    Security Fix(es):

    * kernel: nfs: use-after-free in svc_process_common() (CVE-2018-16884)

    * Kernel: vhost_net: infinite loop while receiving packets leads to DoS (CVE-2019-3900)

    * Kernel: page cache side channel attacks (CVE-2019-5489)

    * hardware: bluetooth: BR/EDR encryption key negotiation attacks (KNOB) (CVE-2019-9506)

    * kernel: Heap overflow in mwifiex_uap_parse_tail_ies function in     drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/ie.c (CVE-2019-10126)

    * Kernel: KVM: OOB memory access via mmio ring buffer (CVE-2019-14821)

    * kernel: Information Disclosure in crypto_report_one in crypto/crypto_user.c (CVE-2018-19854)

    * kernel: usb: missing size check in the __usb_get_extra_descriptor() leading to DoS (CVE-2018-20169)

    * kernel: Heap address information leak while using L2CAP_GET_CONF_OPT (CVE-2019-3459)

    * kernel: Heap address information leak while using L2CAP_PARSE_CONF_RSP (CVE-2019-3460)

    * kernel: SCTP socket buffer memory leak leading to denial of service (CVE-2019-3874)

    * kernel: denial of service vector through vfio DMA mappings (CVE-2019-3882)

    * kernel: null-pointer dereference in hci_uart_set_flow_control (CVE-2019-10207)

    * kernel: fix race condition between mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() and core dumping (CVE-2019-11599)

    * kernel: fs/ext4/extents.c leads to information disclosure (CVE-2019-11833)

    * kernel: sensitive information disclosure from kernel stack memory via HIDPCONNADD command     (CVE-2019-11884)

    * kernel: use-after-free in arch/x86/lib/insn-eval.c (CVE-2019-13233)

    * kernel: memory leak in register_queue_kobjects() in net/core/net-sysfs.c leads to denial of service     (CVE-2019-15916)

    * kernel: Linux stack ASLR implementation Integer overflow (CVE-2015-1593)

    * kernel: oob memory read in hso_probe in drivers/net/usb/hso.c (CVE-2018-19985)

    * Kernel: KVM: leak of uninitialized stack contents to guest (CVE-2019-7222)

    * Kernel: net: weak IP ID generation leads to remote device tracking (CVE-2019-10638)

    For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.1 Release Notes     linked from the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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

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

  - fs/ext4/extents.c in the Linux kernel through 5.1.2 does not zero out the unused memory region in the     extent tree block, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by reading uninitialized     data in the filesystem. (CVE-2019-11833)

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