The remote SUSE Linux SLES11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2019:14218-1 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in net/ipv6/ip6mr.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11. By setting a specific socket     option, an attacker can control a pointer in kernel land and cause an inet_csk_listen_stop general     protection fault, or potentially execute arbitrary code under certain circumstances. The issue can be     triggered as root (e.g., inside a default LXC container or with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability) or after     namespace unsharing. This occurs because sk_type and protocol are not checked in the appropriate part of     the ip6_mroute_* functions. NOTE: this affects Linux distributions that use 4.9.x longterm kernels before     4.9.187. (CVE-2017-18509)

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/i2c/i2c-core-smbus.c in the Linux kernel before 4.14.15. There is an     out of bounds write in the function i2c_smbus_xfer_emulated. (CVE-2017-18551)

  - Improper invalidation for page table updates by a virtual guest operating system for multiple Intel(R)     Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable denial of service of the host system via     local access. (CVE-2018-12207)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/xfs/xfs_super.c in the Linux kernel before 4.18. A use after free exists,     related to xfs_fs_fill_super failure. (CVE-2018-20976)

  - Linux kernel CIFS implementation, version 4.9.0 is vulnerable to a relative paths injection in directory     entry lists. (CVE-2019-10220)

  - TSX Asynchronous Abort condition on some CPUs utilizing speculative execution may allow an authenticated     user to potentially enable information disclosure via a side channel with local access. (CVE-2019-11135)

  - An out-of-bounds access issue was found in the Linux kernel, all versions through 5.3, in the way Linux     kernel's KVM hypervisor implements the Coalesced MMIO write operation. It operates on an MMIO ring buffer     'struct kvm_coalesced_mmio' object, wherein write indices 'ring->first' and 'ring->last' value could be     supplied by a host user-space process. An unprivileged host user or process with access to '/dev/kvm'     device could use this flaw to crash the host kernel, resulting in a denial of service or potentially     escalating privileges on the system. (CVE-2019-14821)

  - A buffer overflow flaw was found, in versions from 2.6.34 to 5.2.x, in the way Linux kernel's vhost     functionality that translates virtqueue buffers to IOVs, logged the buffer descriptors during migration. A     privileged guest user able to pass descriptors with invalid length to the host when migration is underway,     could use this flaw to increase their privileges on the host. (CVE-2019-14835)

  - check_input_term in sound/usb/mixer.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.9 mishandles recursion, leading to     kernel stack exhaustion. (CVE-2019-15118)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.1.8. There is a double-free caused by a malicious USB     device in the drivers/usb/misc/rio500.c driver. (CVE-2019-15212)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.14. There is a NULL pointer dereference caused by a     malicious USB device in the drivers/usb/misc/yurex.c driver. (CVE-2019-15216)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.2.3. There is a NULL pointer dereference caused by a     malicious USB device in the drivers/media/usb/zr364xx/zr364xx.c driver. (CVE-2019-15217)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.1.8. There is a NULL pointer dereference caused by a     malicious USB device in the drivers/usb/misc/sisusbvga/sisusb.c driver. (CVE-2019-15219)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.2.9. There is a NULL pointer dereference caused by a     malicious USB device in the flexcop_usb_probe function in the drivers/media/usb/b2c2/flexcop-usb.c driver.
    (CVE-2019-15291)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.9. There is a use-after-free in atalk_proc_exit,     related to net/appletalk/atalk_proc.c, net/appletalk/ddp.c, and net/appletalk/sysctl_net_atalk.c.
    (CVE-2019-15292)

  - drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/technisat-usb2.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.9 has an out-of-bounds read via     crafted USB device traffic (which may be remote via usbip or usbredir). (CVE-2019-15505)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.1.13, there is a memory leak in drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c when SAS     expander discovery fails. This will cause a BUG and denial of service. (CVE-2019-15807)

  - A backporting error was discovered in the Linux stable/longterm kernel 4.4.x through 4.4.190, 4.9.x     through 4.9.190, 4.14.x through 4.14.141, 4.19.x through 4.19.69, and 5.2.x through 5.2.11. Misuse of the     upstream x86/ptrace: Fix possible spectre-v1 in ptrace_get_debugreg() commit reintroduced the Spectre     vulnerability that it aimed to eliminate. This occurred because the backport process depends on cherry     picking specific commits, and because two (correctly ordered) code lines were swapped. (CVE-2019-15902)

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 5.19.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-5.19.1 advisory.

  - In Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.46, several cryptographic primitives had missing length     checks. In cases where the application calling the library did not perform a sanity check on the inputs it     could result in a crash due to a buffer overflow. (CVE-2019-17006)

  - Heap buffer overflow in the TFTP protocol handler in cURL 7.19.4 to 7.65.3. (CVE-2019-5482)

  - In all versions of cpio before 2.13 does not properly validate input files when generating TAR archives.
    When cpio is used to create TAR archives from paths an attacker can write to, the resulting archive may     contain files with permissions the attacker did not have or in paths he did not have access to. Extracting     those archives from a high-privilege user without carefully reviewing them may lead to the compromise of     the system. (CVE-2019-14866)

  - If an HTTP/2 client connecting to Apache Tomcat 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.0-M7, 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.37 or 8.5.0 to     8.5.57 exceeded the agreed maximum number of concurrent streams for a connection (in violation of the     HTTP/2 protocol), it was possible that a subsequent request made on that connection could contain HTTP     headers - including HTTP/2 pseudo headers - from a previous request rather than the intended headers. This     could lead to users seeing responses for unexpected resources. (CVE-2020-13943)

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Server product of Oracle MySQL (component: Server: Optimizer). Supported     versions that are affected are 5.6.45 and prior, 5.7.27 and prior and 8.0.17 and prior. Easily exploitable     vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise     MySQL Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang     or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server. (CVE-2019-2974)

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