The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 4.05, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - The Salsa20 encryption algorithm in the Linux kernel     before 4.14.8 does not correctly handle zero-length     inputs, allowing a local attacker able to use the     AF_ALG-based skcipher interface     (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER) to cause a denial of     service (uninitialized-memory free and kernel crash) or     have unspecified other impact by executing a crafted     sequence of system calls that use the blkcipher_walk     API. Both the generic implementation     (crypto/salsa20_generic.c) and x86 implementation     (arch/x86/crypto/salsa20_glue.c) of Salsa20 were     vulnerable. (CVE-2017-17805)

  - 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 the proc_pid_stack function     in fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel through 4.18.11.
    It does not ensure that only root may inspect the kernel     stack of an arbitrary task, allowing a local attacker to     exploit racy stack unwinding and leak kernel task stack     contents. (CVE-2018-17972)

  - In sk_clone_lock of sock.c, there is a possible memory     corruption due to type confusion. This could lead to     local escalation of privilege with no additional     execution privileges needed. User interaction is not     needed for exploitation. Product: Android. Versions:
    Android kernel. Android ID: A-113509306. References:
    Upstream kernel. (CVE-2018-9568)

  - Insufficient access control in subsystem for Intel (R)     processor graphics in 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th Generation     Intel(R) Core(TM) Processor Families; Intel(R)     Pentium(R) Processor J, N, Silver and Gold Series;

    Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor E3-1500 v5 and v6 and E-2100     Processor Families may allow an authenticated user to     potentially enable denial of service via local access.
    (CVE-2019-0154)

  - Insufficient access control in a subsystem for Intel (R)     processor graphics in 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th Generation     Intel(R) Core(TM) Processor Families; Intel(R)     Pentium(R) Processor J, N, Silver and Gold Series;
    Intel(R) Celeron(R) Processor J, N, G3900 and G4900     Series; Intel(R) Atom(R) Processor A and E3900 Series;
    Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor E3-1500 v5 and v6, E-2100 and     E-2200 Processor Families; Intel(R) Graphics Driver for     Windows before 26.20.100.6813 (DCH) or 26.20.100.6812     and before 21.20.x.5077 (aka15.45.5077), i915 Linux     Driver for Intel(R) Processor Graphics before versions     5.4-rc7, 5.3.11, 4.19.84, 4.14.154, 4.9.201, 4.4.201 may     allow an authenticated user to potentially enable     escalation of privilege via local access.
    (CVE-2019-0155)

  - 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 information disclosure vulnerability exists when     certain central processing units (CPU) speculatively     access memory, aka 'Windows Kernel Information     Disclosure Vulnerability'. This CVE ID is unique from     CVE-2019-1071, CVE-2019-1073. (CVE-2019-1125)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.0.7. A NULL pointer dereference can occur when     megasas_create_frame_pool() fails in     megasas_alloc_cmds() in     drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c. This causes a     Denial of Service, related to a use-after-free.
    (CVE-2019-11810)

  - 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)

  - An infinite loop issue was found in the vhost_net kernel     module in Linux Kernel up to and including v5.1-rc6,     while handling incoming packets in handle_rx(). It could     occur if one end sends packets faster than the other end     can process them. A guest user, maybe remote one, could     use this flaw to stall the vhost_net kernel thread,     resulting in a DoS scenario. (CVE-2019-3900)

  - The mincore() implementation in mm/mincore.c in the     Linux kernel through 4.19.13 allowed local attackers to     observe page cache access patterns of other processes on     the same system, potentially allowing sniffing of secret     information. (Fixing this affects the output of the     fincore program.) Limited remote exploitation may be     possible, as demonstrated by latency differences in     accessing public files from an Apache HTTP Server.
    (CVE-2019-5489)

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2021:3192-1 advisory.

  - In pppol2tp_connect, there is possible memory corruption due to a use after free. This could lead to local     escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation. Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID: A-38159931. (CVE-2018-9517)

  - The SCTP socket buffer used by a userspace application is not accounted by the cgroups subsystem. An     attacker can use this flaw to cause a denial of service attack. Kernel 3.10.x and 4.18.x branches are     believed to be vulnerable. (CVE-2019-3874)

  - An infinite loop issue was found in the vhost_net kernel module in Linux Kernel up to and including     v5.1-rc6, while handling incoming packets in handle_rx(). It could occur if one end sends packets faster     than the other end can process them. A guest user, maybe remote one, could use this flaw to stall the     vhost_net kernel thread, resulting in a DoS scenario. (CVE-2019-3900)

  - A flaw use-after-free in function sco_sock_sendmsg() of the Linux kernel HCI subsystem was found in the     way user calls ioct UFFDIO_REGISTER or other way triggers race condition of the call sco_conn_del()     together with the call sco_sock_sendmsg() with the expected controllable faulting memory page. A     privileged local user could use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system.
    (CVE-2021-3640)

  - A flaw was found in the KVM's AMD code for supporting SVM nested virtualization. The flaw occurs when     processing the VMCB (virtual machine control block) provided by the L1 guest to spawn/handle a nested     guest (L2). Due to improper validation of the int_ctl field, this issue could allow a malicious L1 to     enable AVIC support (Advanced Virtual Interrupt Controller) for the L2 guest. As a result, the L2 guest     would be allowed to read/write physical pages of the host, resulting in a crash of the entire system, leak     of sensitive data or potential guest-to-host escape. This flaw affects Linux kernel versions prior to     5.14-rc7. (CVE-2021-3653)

  - A flaw was found in the KVM's AMD code for supporting SVM nested virtualization. The flaw occurs when     processing the VMCB (virtual machine control block) provided by the L1 guest to spawn/handle a nested     guest (L2). Due to improper validation of the virt_ext field, this issue could allow a malicious L1 to     disable both VMLOAD/VMSAVE intercepts and VLS (Virtual VMLOAD/VMSAVE) for the L2 guest. As a result, the     L2 guest would be allowed to read/write physical pages of the host, resulting in a crash of the entire     system, leak of sensitive data or potential guest-to-host escape. (CVE-2021-3656)

  - A lack of CPU resource in the Linux kernel tracing module functionality in versions prior to 5.14-rc3 was     found in the way user uses trace ring buffer in a specific way. Only privileged local users (with     CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability) could use this flaw to starve the resources causing denial of service.
    (CVE-2021-3679)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's OverlayFS subsystem in the way the user mounts the TmpFS filesystem     with OverlayFS. This flaw allows a local user to gain access to hidden files that should not be     accessible. (CVE-2021-3732)

  - A race problem was seen in the vt_k_ioctl in drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c in the Linux kernel, which may     cause an out of bounds read in vt as the write access to vc_mode is not protected by lock-in vt_ioctl     (KDSETMDE). The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality. (CVE-2021-3753)

  - A memory overflow vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's ipc functionality of the memcg subsystem,     in the way a user calls the semget function multiple times, creating semaphores. This flaw allows a local     user to starve the resources, causing a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is     to system availability. (CVE-2021-3759)

  - ** DISPUTED ** In drivers/char/virtio_console.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.4, data corruption or loss     can be triggered by an untrusted device that supplies a buf->len value exceeding the buffer size. NOTE:
    the vendor indicates that the cited data corruption is not a vulnerability in any existing use case; the     length validation was added solely for robustness in the face of anomalous host OS behavior.
    (CVE-2021-38160)

  - arch/x86/kvm/mmu/paging_tmpl.h in the Linux kernel before 5.12.11 incorrectly computes the access     permissions of a shadow page, leading to a missing guest protection page fault. (CVE-2021-38198)

  - drivers/usb/host/max3421-hcd.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.6 allows physically proximate attackers to     cause a denial of service (use-after-free and panic) by removing a MAX-3421 USB device in certain     situations. (CVE-2021-38204)

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

It was discovered that a heap buffer overflow existed in the Marvell Wireless LAN device driver for the Linux kernel. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-10126)

Amit Klein and Benny Pinkas discovered that the Linux kernel did not sufficiently randomize IP ID values generated for connectionless networking protocols. A remote attacker could use this to track particular Linux devices. (CVE-2019-10638)

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

  - The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz),     the core of any Linux operating system. The kernel     handles the basic functions of the operating system:
    memory allocation, process allocation, device input and     output, etc.Security Fix(es):An issue was discovered in     rds_tcp_kill_sock in net/rds/tcp.c in the Linux kernel     before 5.0.8. There is a race condition leading to a     use-after-free, related to net namespace     cleanup.(CVE-2019-11815)A flaw was found in the Linux     kernel's handle_rx() function in the vhost_net driver.
    A malicious virtual guest, under specific conditions,     can trigger an out-of-bounds write in a kmalloc-8 slab     on a virtual host which may lead to a kernel memory     corruption and a system panic. Due to the nature of the     flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled     out.(CVE-2018-16880)A NULL pointer dereference security     flaw was found in the Linux kernel in kvm_pv_send_ipi()     in arch/x86/kvm/lapic.c. This allows local users with     certain privileges to cause a denial of service via a     crafted system call to the KVM     subsystem.(CVE-2018-19406)The function     hso_get_config_data in driverset/usb/hso.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.19.8 reads if_num from the USB device     (as a u8) and uses it to index a small array, resulting     in an object out-of-bounds (OOB) read that potentially     allows arbitrary read in the kernel address     space.(CVE-2018-19985)** RESERVED ** This candidate has     been reserved by an organization or individual that     will use it when announcing a new security problem.
    When the candidate has been publicized, the details for     this candidate will be provided.(CVE-2019-3459)**     RESERVED ** This candidate has been reserved by an     organization or individual that will use it when     announcing a new security problem. When the candidate     has been publicized, the details for this candidate     will be provided.(CVE-2019-3460)A flaw was found in the     Linux kernel in the function hid_debug_events_read() in     the drivers/hid/hid-debug.c file which may enter an     infinite loop with certain parameters passed from a     userspace. A local privileged user ('root') can cause a     system lock up and a denial of     service.(CVE-2019-3819)In the Linux kernel before     4.20.14, expand_downwards in mm/mmap.c lacks a check     for the mmap minimum address, which makes it easier for     attackers to exploit kernel NULL pointer dereferences     on non-SMAP platforms. This is related to a capability     check for the wrong task.(CVE-2019-9213)A flaw was     found in the Linux kernel's vfio interface     implementation that permits violation of the user's     locked memory limit. If a device is bound to a vfio     driver, such as vfio-pci, and the local attacker is     administratively granted ownership of the device, it     may cause a system memory exhaustion and thus a denial     of service (DoS). Versions 3.10, 4.14 and 4.18 are     vulnerable.(CVE-2019-3882)An infinite loop issue was     found in the vhost_net kernel module in Linux Kernel up     to and including v5.1-rc6, while handling incoming     packets in handle_rx(). It could occur if one end sends     packets faster than the other end can process them. A     guest user, maybe remote one, could use this flaw to     stall the vhost_net kernel thread, resulting in a DoS     scenario.(CVE-2019-3900)It was found that the net_dma     code in tcp_recvmsg() in the 2.6.32 kernel as shipped     in RHEL6 is thread-unsafe. So an unprivileged     multi-threaded userspace application calling recvmsg()     for the same network socket in parallel executed on     ioatdma-enabled hardware with net_dma enabled can leak     the memory, crash the host leading to a     denial-of-service or cause a random memory     corruption.(CVE-2019-3837)A race condition in     perf_event_open() allows local attackers to leak     sensitive data from setuid programs. As no relevant     locks (in particular the cred_guard_mutex) are held     during the ptrace_may_access() call, it is possible for     the specified target task to perform an execve()     syscall with setuid execution before perf_event_alloc()     actually attaches to it, allowing an attacker to bypass     the ptrace_may_access() check and the     perf_event_exit_task(current) call that is performed in     install_exec_creds() during privileged execve() calls.
    This issue affects kernel versions before 4.8.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:3294-1 advisory.

  - An infinite loop issue was found in the vhost_net kernel module in Linux Kernel up to and including     v5.1-rc6, while handling incoming packets in handle_rx(). It could occur if one end sends packets faster     than the other end can process them. A guest user, maybe remote one, could use this flaw to stall the     vhost_net kernel thread, resulting in a DoS scenario. (CVE-2019-3900)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.16.11. The mixed IPID assignment method with the     hash-based IPID assignment policy allows an off-path attacker to inject data into a victim's TCP session     or terminate that session. (CVE-2020-36516)

  - Non-transparent sharing of return predictor targets between contexts in some Intel(R) Processors may allow     an authorized user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-26373)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow was found in the Linux kernel's LightNVM subsystem. The issue results from     the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length     heap-based buffer. This vulnerability allows a local attacker to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary     code in the context of the kernel. The attacker must first obtain the ability to execute high-privileged     code on the target system to exploit this vulnerability. (CVE-2022-2991)

  - A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem)     when multiple calls to xfrm_probe_algs occurred simultaneously. This flaw could allow a local attacker to     potentially trigger an out-of-bounds write or leak kernel heap memory by performing an out-of-bounds read     and copying it into a socket. (CVE-2022-3028)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.18.14. xfrm_expand_policies in     net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c can cause a refcount to be dropped twice. (CVE-2022-36879)

  - An issue was discovered in include/asm-generic/tlb.h in the Linux kernel before 5.19. Because of a race     condition (unmap_mapping_range versus munmap), a device driver can free a page while it still has stale     TLB entries. This only occurs in situations with VM_PFNMAP VMAs. (CVE-2022-39188)

  - A memory leak in the bfad_im_get_stats() function in drivers/scsi/bfa/bfad_attr.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering     bfa_port_get_stats() failures, aka CID-0e62395da2bd. (CVE-2019-19066)

  - A memory leak in the ath9k_wmi_cmd() function in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/wmi.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption), aka CID-728c1e2a05e4.
    (CVE-2019-19074)

  - A race condition in perf_event_open() allows local attackers to leak sensitive data from setuid programs.
    As no relevant locks (in particular the cred_guard_mutex) are held during the ptrace_may_access() call, it     is possible for the specified target task to perform an execve() syscall with setuid execution before     perf_event_alloc() actually attaches to it, allowing an attacker to bypass the ptrace_may_access() check     and the perf_event_exit_task(current) call that is performed in install_exec_creds() during privileged     execve() calls. This issue affects kernel versions before 4.8. (CVE-2019-3901)

An infinite loop issue was found in the vhost_net kernel module while handling incoming packets in handle_rx(). The infinite loop could occur if one end sends packets faster than the other end can process them. A guest user, maybe a remote one, could use this flaw to stall the vhost_net kernel thread, resulting in a DoS scenario.
(CVE-2019-3900)

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel where the coredump implementation does not use locking or other mechanisms to prevent vma layout or vma flags changes while it runs. This allows local users to obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service (DoS), or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a race condition with mmget_not_zero or get_task_mm calls. (CVE-2019-11599)

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

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFS41+ subsystem.
    NFS41+ shares mounted in different network namespaces at     the same time can make bc_svc_process() use wrong back-     channel IDs and cause a use-after-free vulnerability.
    Thus a malicious container user can cause a host kernel     memory corruption and a system panic. Due to the nature     of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled     out. (CVE-2018-16884)

  - Insufficient input validation in Kernel Mode Driver in     Intel(R) i915 Graphics for Linux before version 5.0 may     allow an authenticated user to potentially enable     escalation of privilege via local access.
    (CVE-2019-11085)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFS     implementation, all versions 3.x and all versions 4.x up     to 4.20. An attacker, who is able to mount an exported     NFS filesystem, is able to trigger a null pointer     dereference by using an invalid NFS sequence. This can     panic the machine and deny access to the NFS server. Any     outstanding disk writes to the NFS server will be lost.
    (CVE-2018-16871)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.0.4. There is a use-after-free upon attempted read     access to /proc/ioports after the ipmi_si module is     removed, related to drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c,     drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_mem_io.c, and     drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_port_io.c. (CVE-2019-11811)

  - A flaw was found in the way Linux kernel KVM hypervisor     before 4.18 emulated instructions such as     sgdt/sidt/fxsave/fxrstor. It did not check current     privilege(CPL) level while emulating unprivileged     instructions. An unprivileged guest user/process could     use this flaw to potentially escalate privileges inside     guest. (CVE-2018-10853)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel where an attacker     may be able to have an uncontrolled read to kernel-     memory from within a vm guest. A race condition between     connect() and close() function may allow an attacker     using the AF_VSOCK protocol to gather a 4 byte     information leak or possibly intercept or corrupt     AF_VSOCK messages destined to other clients.
    (CVE-2018-14625)

  - drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.17.11 allows ucma_leave_multicast to access a     certain data structure after a cleanup step in     ucma_process_join, which allows attackers to cause a     denial of service (use-after-free). (CVE-2018-14734)

  - arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c in the Linux kernel before     4.18.1 mishandles certain indirect calls, which makes it     easier for attackers to conduct Spectre-v2 attacks     against paravirtual guests. (CVE-2018-15594)

  - Since Linux kernel version 3.2, the mremap() syscall     performs TLB flushes after dropping pagetable locks. If     a syscall such as ftruncate() removes entries from the     pagetables of a task that is in the middle of mremap(),     a stale TLB entry can remain for a short time that     permits access to a physical page after it has been     released back to the page allocator and reused. This is     fixed in the following kernel versions: 4.9.135,     4.14.78, 4.18.16, 4.19. (CVE-2018-18281)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     4.18.7. In block/blk-core.c, there is an
    __blk_drain_queue() use-after-free because a certain     error case is mishandled. (CVE-2018-20856)

  - In the hidp_process_report in bluetooth, there is an     integer overflow. This could lead to an out of bounds     write with no additional execution privileges needed.
    User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
    Product: Android Versions: Android kernel Android ID:
    A-65853588 References: Upstream kernel. (CVE-2018-9363)

  - In pppol2tp_connect, there is possible memory corruption     due to a use after free. This could lead to local     escalation of privilege with System execution privileges     needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
    Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID:
    A-38159931. (CVE-2018-9517)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A heap based     buffer overflow in mwifiex_uap_parse_tail_ies function     in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/ie.c might lead     to memory corruption and possibly other consequences.
    (CVE-2019-10126)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     certain central processing units (CPU) speculatively     access memory, aka 'Windows Kernel Information     Disclosure Vulnerability'. This CVE ID is unique from     CVE-2019-1071, CVE-2019-1073. (CVE-2019-1125)

  - The coredump implementation in the Linux kernel before     5.0.10 does not use locking or other mechanisms to     prevent vma layout or vma flags changes while it runs,     which allows local users to obtain sensitive     information, cause a denial of service, or possibly have     unspecified other impact by triggering a race condition     with mmget_not_zero or get_task_mm calls. This is     related to fs/userfaultfd.c, mm/mmap.c,     fs/proc/task_mmu.c, and     drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c. (CVE-2019-11599)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.0.7. A NULL pointer dereference can occur when     megasas_create_frame_pool() fails in     megasas_alloc_cmds() in     drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c. This causes a     Denial of Service, related to a use-after-free.
    (CVE-2019-11810)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - A heap address information leak while using     L2CAP_GET_CONF_OPT was discovered in the Linux kernel     before 5.1-rc1. (CVE-2019-3459)

  - A heap data infoleak in multiple locations including     L2CAP_PARSE_CONF_RSP was found in the Linux kernel     before 5.1-rc1. (CVE-2019-3460)

  - A flaw that allowed an attacker to corrupt memory and     possibly escalate privileges was found in the mwifiex     kernel module while connecting to a malicious wireless     network. (CVE-2019-3846)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's vfio interface     implementation that permits violation of the user's     locked memory limit. If a device is bound to a vfio     driver, such as vfio-pci, and the local attacker is     administratively granted ownership of the device, it may     cause a system memory exhaustion and thus a denial of     service (DoS). Versions 3.10, 4.14 and 4.18 are     vulnerable. (CVE-2019-3882)

  - An infinite loop issue was found in the vhost_net kernel     module in Linux Kernel up to and including v5.1-rc6,     while handling incoming packets in handle_rx(). It could     occur if one end sends packets faster than the other end     can process them. A guest user, maybe remote one, could     use this flaw to stall the vhost_net kernel thread,     resulting in a DoS scenario. (CVE-2019-3900)

  - The mincore() implementation in mm/mincore.c in the     Linux kernel through 4.19.13 allowed local attackers to     observe page cache access patterns of other processes on     the same system, potentially allowing sniffing of secret     information. (Fixing this affects the output of the     fincore program.) Limited remote exploitation may be     possible, as demonstrated by latency differences in     accessing public files from an Apache HTTP Server.
    (CVE-2019-5489)

  - The Bluetooth BR/EDR specification up to and including     version 5.1 permits sufficiently low encryption key     length and does not prevent an attacker from influencing     the key length negotiation. This allows practical brute-     force attacks (aka KNOB) that can decrypt traffic and     inject arbitrary ciphertext without the victim noticing.
    (CVE-2019-9506)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue 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 5.16.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-5.16.1 advisory.

  - In Sudo before 1.8.28, an attacker with access to a Runas ALL sudoer account can bypass certain policy     blacklists and session PAM modules, and can cause incorrect logging, by invoking sudo with a crafted user     ID. For example, this allows bypass of !root configuration, and USER= logging, for a sudo -u     \#$((0xffffffff)) command. (CVE-2019-14287)

  - OpenSLP as used in ESXi and the Horizon DaaS appliances has a heap overwrite issue. VMware has evaluated     the severity of this issue to be in the Critical severity range with a maximum CVSSv3 base score of 9.8.
    (CVE-2019-5544)

  - Empty or malformed p256-ECDH public keys may trigger a segmentation fault due values being improperly     sanitized before being copied into memory and used. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox     < 68, and Thunderbird < 60.8. (CVE-2019-11729)

  - When encrypting with a block cipher, if a call to NSC_EncryptUpdate was made with data smaller than the     block size, a small out of bounds write could occur. This could have caused heap corruption and a     potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 68.3, Firefox ESR < 68.3, and     Firefox < 71. (CVE-2019-11745)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.18.7. In block/blk-core.c, there is an
    __blk_drain_queue() use-after-free because a certain error case is mishandled. (CVE-2018-20856)

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

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2021:3876-1 advisory.

  - The inode_init_owner function in fs/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16 allows local users to create     files with an unintended group ownership, in a scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group and     is writable by a user who is not a member of that group. Here, the non-member can trigger creation of a     plain file whose group ownership is that group. The intended behavior was that the non-member can trigger     creation of a directory (but not a plain file) whose group ownership is that group. The non-member can     escalate privileges by making the plain file executable and SGID. (CVE-2018-13405)

  - In pppol2tp_connect, there is possible memory corruption due to a use after free. This could lead to local     escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation. Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID: A-38159931. (CVE-2018-9517)

  - The SCTP socket buffer used by a userspace application is not accounted by the cgroups subsystem. An     attacker can use this flaw to cause a denial of service attack. Kernel 3.10.x and 4.18.x branches are     believed to be vulnerable. (CVE-2019-3874)

  - An infinite loop issue was found in the vhost_net kernel module in Linux Kernel up to and including     v5.1-rc6, while handling incoming packets in handle_rx(). It could occur if one end sends packets faster     than the other end can process them. A guest user, maybe remote one, could use this flaw to stall the     vhost_net kernel thread, resulting in a DoS scenario. (CVE-2019-3900)

  - In l2tp_session_delete and related functions of l2tp_core.c, there is possible memory corruption due to a     use after free. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed.

  - u'Specifically timed and handcrafted traffic can cause internal errors in a WLAN device that lead to     improper layer 2 Wi-Fi encryption with a consequent possibility of information disclosure over the air for     a discrete set of traffic' in Snapdragon Auto, Snapdragon Compute, Snapdragon Connectivity, Snapdragon     Consumer IOT, Snapdragon Industrial IOT, Snapdragon Mobile, Snapdragon Voice & Music, Snapdragon     Wearables, Snapdragon Wired Infrastructure and Networking in APQ8053, IPQ4019, IPQ8064, MSM8909W,     MSM8996AU, QCA9531, QCN5502, QCS405, SDX20, SM6150, SM7150 (CVE-2020-3702)

  - IBM Power9 (AIX 7.1, 7.2, and VIOS 3.1) processors could allow a local user to obtain sensitive     information from the data in the L1 cache under extenuating circumstances. IBM X-Force ID: 189296.
    (CVE-2020-4788)

  - In bpf_skb_change_head of filter.c, there is a possible out of bounds read due to a use after free. This     could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is     not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID: A-154177719References:
    Upstream kernel (CVE-2021-0941)

  - A flaw in the processing of received ICMP errors (ICMP fragment needed and ICMP redirect) in the Linux     kernel functionality was found to allow the ability to quickly scan open UDP ports. This flaw allows an     off-path remote user to effectively bypass the source port UDP randomization. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to confidentiality and possibly integrity, because software that relies on UDP source     port randomization are indirectly affected as well. (CVE-2021-20322)

  - An issue was discovered in Linux: KVM through Improper handling of VM_IO|VM_PFNMAP vmas in KVM can bypass     RO checks and can lead to pages being freed while still accessible by the VMM and guest. This allows users     with the ability to start and control a VM to read/write random pages of memory and can result in local     privilege escalation. (CVE-2021-22543)

  - An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory write flaw was found in list_devices in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c in the Multi-     device driver module in the Linux kernel before 5.12. A bound check failure allows an attacker with     special user (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) privilege to gain access to out-of-bounds memory leading to a system crash or     a leak of internal kernel information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system     availability. (CVE-2021-31916)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.11.14 has a use-after-free in cipso_v4_genopt in net/ipv4/cipso_ipv4.c because     the CIPSO and CALIPSO refcounting for the DOI definitions is mishandled, aka CID-ad5d07f4a9cd. This leads     to writing an arbitrary value. (CVE-2021-33033)

  - fs/seq_file.c in the Linux kernel 3.16 through 5.13.x before 5.13.4 does not properly restrict seq buffer     allocations, leading to an integer overflow, an Out-of-bounds Write, and escalation to root by an     unprivileged user, aka CID-8cae8cd89f05. (CVE-2021-33909)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.13.7, an unprivileged BPF program can obtain sensitive information from     kernel memory via a Speculative Store Bypass side-channel attack because the protection mechanism neglects     the possibility of uninitialized memory locations on the BPF stack. (CVE-2021-34556)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's CAPI over Bluetooth connection code. An attacker with a local     account can escalate privileges when CAPI (ISDN) hardware connection fails. (CVE-2021-34981)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.13.7, an unprivileged BPF program can obtain sensitive information from     kernel memory via a Speculative Store Bypass side-channel attack because a certain preempting store     operation does not necessarily occur before a store operation that has an attacker-controlled value.
    (CVE-2021-35477)

  - A flaw use-after-free in function sco_sock_sendmsg() of the Linux kernel HCI subsystem was found in the     way user calls ioct UFFDIO_REGISTER or other way triggers race condition of the call sco_conn_del()     together with the call sco_sock_sendmsg() with the expected controllable faulting memory page. A     privileged local user could use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system.
    (CVE-2021-3640)

  - A flaw was found in the KVM's AMD code for supporting SVM nested virtualization. The flaw occurs when     processing the VMCB (virtual machine control block) provided by the L1 guest to spawn/handle a nested     guest (L2). Due to improper validation of the int_ctl field, this issue could allow a malicious L1 to     enable AVIC support (Advanced Virtual Interrupt Controller) for the L2 guest. As a result, the L2 guest     would be allowed to read/write physical pages of the host, resulting in a crash of the entire system, leak     of sensitive data or potential guest-to-host escape. This flaw affects Linux kernel versions prior to     5.14-rc7. (CVE-2021-3653)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel in versions prior to v5.14-rc1. Missing size validations on     inbound SCTP packets may allow the kernel to read uninitialized memory. (CVE-2021-3655)

  - A flaw was found in the KVM's AMD code for supporting SVM nested virtualization. The flaw occurs when     processing the VMCB (virtual machine control block) provided by the L1 guest to spawn/handle a nested     guest (L2). Due to improper validation of the virt_ext field, this issue could allow a malicious L1 to     disable both VMLOAD/VMSAVE intercepts and VLS (Virtual VMLOAD/VMSAVE) for the L2 guest. As a result, the     L2 guest would be allowed to read/write physical pages of the host, resulting in a crash of the entire     system, leak of sensitive data or potential guest-to-host escape. (CVE-2021-3656)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IEEE 802.15.4 wireless networking     subsystem in the way the user closes the LR-WPAN connection. This flaw allows a local user to crash the     system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2021-3659)

  - A lack of CPU resource in the Linux kernel tracing module functionality in versions prior to 5.14-rc3 was     found in the way user uses trace ring buffer in a specific way. Only privileged local users (with     CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability) could use this flaw to starve the resources causing denial of service.
    (CVE-2021-3679)

  - A flaw was found in the Routing decision classifier in the Linux kernel's Traffic Control networking     subsystem in the way it handled changing of classification filters, leading to a use-after-free condition.
    This flaw allows unprivileged local users to escalate their privileges on the system. The highest threat     from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-3715)

  - hso_free_net_device in drivers/net/usb/hso.c in the Linux kernel through 5.13.4 calls unregister_netdev     without checking for the NETREG_REGISTERED state, leading to a use-after-free and a double free.
    (CVE-2021-37159)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's OverlayFS subsystem in the way the user mounts the TmpFS filesystem     with OverlayFS. This flaw allows a local user to gain access to hidden files that should not be     accessible. (CVE-2021-3732)

  - A memory leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the ccp_run_aes_gcm_cmd() function in     drivers/crypto/ccp/ccp-ops.c, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption).
    This vulnerability is similar with the older CVE-2019-18808. (CVE-2021-3744)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth subsystem in the way user calls connect to     the socket and disconnect simultaneously due to a race condition. This flaw allows a user to crash the     system or escalate their privileges. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality,     integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-3752)

  - A race problem was seen in the vt_k_ioctl in drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c in the Linux kernel, which may     cause an out of bounds read in vt as the write access to vc_mode is not protected by lock-in vt_ioctl     (KDSETMDE). The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality. (CVE-2021-3753)

  - arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_rtas.c in the Linux kernel through 5.13.5 on the powerpc platform allows KVM guest     OS users to cause host OS memory corruption via rtas_args.nargs, aka CID-f62f3c20647e. (CVE-2021-37576)

  - A memory overflow vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's ipc functionality of the memcg subsystem,     in the way a user calls the semget function multiple times, creating semaphores. This flaw allows a local     user to starve the resources, causing a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is     to system availability. (CVE-2021-3759)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A use-after-free vulnerability in the NFC stack can lead to a threat     to confidentiality, integrity, and system availability. (CVE-2021-3760)

  - A memory leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ccp_run_aes_gcm_cmd() function that allows an attacker     to cause a denial of service. The vulnerability is similar to the older CVE-2019-18808. The highest threat     from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2021-3764)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux SCTP stack. A blind attacker may be able to kill an existing SCTP     association through invalid chunks if the attacker knows the IP-addresses and port numbers being used and     the attacker can send packets with spoofed IP addresses. (CVE-2021-3772)

  - ** DISPUTED ** In drivers/char/virtio_console.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.4, data corruption or loss     can be triggered by an untrusted device that supplies a buf->len value exceeding the buffer size. NOTE:
    the vendor indicates that the cited data corruption is not a vulnerability in any existing use case; the     length validation was added solely for robustness in the face of anomalous host OS behavior.
    (CVE-2021-38160)

  - arch/x86/kvm/mmu/paging_tmpl.h in the Linux kernel before 5.12.11 incorrectly computes the access     permissions of a shadow page, leading to a missing guest protection page fault. (CVE-2021-38198)

  - drivers/usb/host/max3421-hcd.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.6 allows physically proximate attackers to     cause a denial of service (use-after-free and panic) by removing a MAX-3421 USB device in certain     situations. (CVE-2021-38204)

  - A race condition was discovered in ext4_write_inline_data_end in fs/ext4/inline.c in the ext4 subsystem in     the Linux kernel through 5.13.13. (CVE-2021-40490)

  - prealloc_elems_and_freelist in kernel/bpf/stackmap.c in the Linux kernel before 5.14.12 allows     unprivileged users to trigger an eBPF multiplication integer overflow with a resultant out-of-bounds     write. (CVE-2021-41864)

  - The decode_data function in drivers/net/hamradio/6pack.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.13 has a slab     out-of-bounds write. Input from a process that has the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability can lead to root access.
    (CVE-2021-42008)

  - An issue was discovered in aspeed_lpc_ctrl_mmap in drivers/soc/aspeed/aspeed-lpc-ctrl.c in the Linux     kernel before 5.14.6. Local attackers able to access the Aspeed LPC control interface could overwrite     memory in the kernel and potentially execute privileges, aka CID-b49a0e69a7b1. This occurs because a     certain comparison uses values that are not memory sizes. (CVE-2021-42252)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel FireDTV media card driver, where the user     calls the CA_SEND_MSG ioctl. This flaw allows a local user of the host machine to crash the system or     escalate privileges on the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality,     integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-42739)
