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):In the Android kernel in     F2FS driver there is a possible out of bounds read due     to a missing bounds check. This could lead to local     information disclosure with system execution privileges     needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation.(CVE-2019-9445)In calc_vm_may_flags of     ashmem.c, there is a possible arbitrary write to shared     memory due to a permissions bypass. This could lead to     local escalation of privilege by corrupting memory     shared between processes, with no additional execution     privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation. Product: Android Versions: Android kernel     Android ID: A-142938932(CVE-2020-0009)A new domain     bypass transient execution attack known as Special     Register Buffer Data Sampling (SRBDS) has been found.
    This flaw allows data values from special internal     registers to be leaked by an attacker able to execute     code on any core of the CPU. An unprivileged, local     attacker can use this flaw to infer values returned by     affected instructions known to be commonly used during     cryptographic operations that rely on uniqueness,     secrecy, or both.(CVE-2020-0543)A flaw was found in the     Linux kernel's implementation of the BTRFS file system.
    A local attacker, with the ability to mount a file     system, can create a use-after-free memory fault after     the file system has been unmounted. This may lead to     memory corruption or privilege     escalation.(CVE-2019-19377)A NULL pointer dereference     flaw may occur in the Linux kernel's relay_open in     kernel/relay.c. if the alloc_percpu() function is not     validated in time of failure and used as a valid     address for access. An attacker could use this flaw to     cause a denial of service.(CVE-2019-19462)A NULL     pointer dereference flaw was found in     tw5864_handle_frame function in     drivers/media/pci/tw5864/tw5864-video.c in the TW5864     Series Video media driver. The pointer 'vb' is     assigned, but not validated before its use, and can     lead to a denial of service. This flaw allows a local     attacker with special user or root privileges to crash     the system or leak internal kernel     information.(CVE-2019-20806)go7007_snd_init in     drivers/media/usb/go7007/snd-go7007.c in the Linux     kernel before 5.6 does not call snd_card_free for a     failure path, which causes a memory leak, aka     CID-9453264ef586.(CVE-2019-20810)An issue was     discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.6. In     rx_queue_add_kobject() and netdev_queue_add_kobject()     in net/coreet-sysfs.c, a reference count is mishandled,     aka CID-a3e23f719f5c.(CVE-2019-20811)A flaw was found     in the way the af_packet functionality in the Linux     kernel handled the retirement timer setting for     TPACKET_v3 when getting settings from the underlying     network device errors out. This flaw allows a local     user who can open the af_packet domain socket and who     can hit the error path, to use this vulnerability to     starve the system.(CVE-2019-20812)A NULL pointer     dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's     SELinux subsystem. This flaw occurs while importing the     Commercial IP Security Option (CIPSO) protocol's     category bitmap into the SELinux extensible bitmap via     the' ebitmap_netlbl_import' routine. While processing     the CIPSO restricted bitmap tag in the     'cipso_v4_parsetag_rbm' routine, it sets the security     attribute to indicate that the category bitmap is     present, even if it has not been allocated. This issue     leads to a NULL pointer dereference issue while     importing the same category bitmap into SELinux. This     flaw allows a remote network user to crash the system     kernel, resulting in a denial of     service.(CVE-2020-10711)A flaw was found in the Linux     kernel's SELinux LSM hook implementation, where it     anticipated the skb would only contain a single Netlink     message. The hook incorrectly validated the first     Netlink message in the skb only, to allow or deny the     rest of the messages within the skb with the granted     permissions and without further processing. At this     time, there is no known ability for an attacker to     abuse this flaw.(CVE-2020-10751)A flaw was found in the     Linux Kernel in versions after 4.5-rc1 in the way     mremap handled DAX Huge Pages. This flaw allows a local     attacker with access to a DAX enabled storage to     escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2020-10757)A logic bug flaw was found in     the Linux kernel's implementation of SSBD. A bug in the     logic handling allows an attacker with a local account     to disable SSBD protection during a context switch when     additional speculative execution mitigations are in     place. This issue was introduced when the per     task/process conditional STIPB switching was added on     top of the existing SSBD switching. The highest threat     from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality.(CVE-2020-10766)A flaw was found in the     Linux kernel's implementation of the Enhanced IBPB     (Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier). The IBPB     mitigation will be disabled when STIBP is not available     or when the Enhanced Indirect Branch Restricted     Speculation (IBRS) is available. This flaw allows a     local attacker to perform a Spectre V2 style attack     when this configuration is active. The highest threat     from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality.(CVE-2020-10767)A flaw was found in the     prctl() function, where it can be used to enable     indirect branch speculation after it has been disabled.
    This call incorrectly reports it as being 'force     disabled' when it is not and opens the system to     Spectre v2 attacks. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to confidentiality.(CVE-2020-10768)A     flaw was found in the ZRAM kernel module, where a user     with a local account and the ability to read the     /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add file can create ZRAM     device nodes in the /dev/ directory. This read     allocates kernel memory and is not accounted for a user     that triggers the creation of that ZRAM device. With     this vulnerability, continually reading the device may     consume a large amount of system memory and cause the     Out-of-Memory (OOM) killer to activate and terminate     random userspace processes, possibly making the system     inoperable.(CVE-2020-10781)A stack buffer overflow     issue was found in the get_raw_socket() routine of the     Host kernel accelerator for virtio net (vhost-net)     driver. It could occur while doing an     ictol(VHOST_NET_SET_BACKEND) call, and retrieving     socket name in a kernel stack variable via     get_raw_socket(). A user able to perform ioctl(2) calls     on the '/dev/vhost-net' device may use this flaw to     crash the kernel resulting in DoS     issue.(CVE-2020-10942)A flaw was found in the Linux     kernel's implementation of the pivot_root syscall. This     flaw allows a local privileged user (root outside or     root inside a privileged container) to exploit a race     condition to manipulate the reference count of the root     filesystem. To be able to abuse this flaw, the process     or user calling pivot_root must have advanced     permissions. The highest threat from this vulnerability     is to system availability.(CVE-2020-12114)A     use-after-free flaw was found in usb_sg_cancel in     drivers/usb/core/message.c in the USB core subsystem.
    This flaw allows a local attacker with a special user     or root privileges to crash the system due to a race     problem in the scatter-gather cancellation and transfer     completion in usb_sg_wait. This vulnerability can also     lead to a leak of internal kernel     information.(CVE-2020-12464)A memory overflow and data     corruption flaw were found in the Mediatek MT76 driver     module for WiFi in mt76_add_fragment in     driverset/wireless/mediatek/mt76/dma.c. An oversized     packet with too many rx fragments causes an overflow     and corruption in memory of adjacent pages. A local     attacker with a special user or root privileges can     cause a denial of service or a leak of internal kernel     information.(CVE-2020-12465)A vulnerability was found     in __mptctl_ioctl in drivers/message/fusion/mptctl.c in     Fusion MPT base driver 'mptctl' in the SCSI device     module, where an incorrect lock leads to a race     problem. This flaw allows an attacker with local access     and special user (or root) privileges to cause a denial     of service.(CVE-2020-12652)A flaw was found in the way     the mwifiex_cmd_append_vsie_tlv() in Linux kernel's     Marvell WiFi-Ex driver handled vendor specific     information elements. A local user could use this flaw     to escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2020-12653)A flaw was found in the Linux     kernel. The Marvell mwifiex driver allows a remote WiFi     access point to trigger a heap-based memory buffer     overflow due to an incorrect memcpy operation. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     integrity and system availability.(CVE-2020-12654)A     flaw was discovered in the XFS source in the Linux     kernel. This flaw allows an attacker with the ability     to mount an XFS filesystem, to trigger a denial of     service while attempting to sync a file located on an     XFS v5 image with crafted metadata.(CVE-2020-12655)An     out-of-bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in the     Network XDP (the eXpress Data Path) module in the Linux     kernel's xdp_umem_reg function in net/xdp/xdp_umem.c.
    When a user with special user privilege of     CAP_NET_ADMIN (or root) calls setsockopt to register     umem ring on XDP socket, passing the headroom value     larger than the available space in the chunk, it leads     to an out-of-bounds write, causing panic or possible     memory corruption. This flaw may lead to privilege     escalation if a local end-user is granted permission to     influence the execution of code in this     manner.(CVE-2020-12659)A vulnerability was found in     sg_write in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the SCSI generic (sg)     driver subsystem. This flaw allows an attacker with     local access and special user or root privileges to     cause a denial of service if the allocated list is not     cleaned with an invalid (Sg_fd * sfp) pointer at the     time of failure, also possibly causing a kernel     internal information leak problem.(CVE-2020-12770)An     issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     5.6.11. btree_gc_coalesce in drivers/md/bcache/btree.c     has a deadlock if a coalescing operation     fails.(CVE-2020-12771)A flaw was found in the Linux     kernel loose validation of child/parent process     identification handling while filtering signal     handlers. A local attacker is able to abuse this flaw     to bypass checks to send any signal to a privileged     process.(CVE-2020-12826)A flaw was found in the Linux     kernel, where it allows userspace processes, for     example, a guest VM, to directly access h/w devices via     its VFIO driver modules. The VFIO modules allow users     to enable or disable access to the devices' MMIO memory     address spaces. If a user attempts to access the     read/write devices' MMIO address space when it is     disabled, some h/w devices issue an interrupt to the     CPU to indicate a fatal error condition, crashing the     system. This flaw allows a guest user or process to     crash the host system resulting in a denial of     service.(CVE-2020-12888)gadget_dev_desc_UDC_store in     drivers/usb/gadget/configfs.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.6.13 relies on kstrdup without considering     the possibility of an internal '\0' value, which allows     attackers to trigger an out-of-bounds read, aka     CID-15753588bcd4.(CVE-2020-13143)** DISPUTED ** An     issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.7.1.
    drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c has an integer overflow if     k_ascii is called several times in a row, aka     CID-b86dab054059. NOTE: Members in the community argue     that the integer overflow does not lead to a security     issue in this case.(CVE-2020-13974)A use-after-free     flaw was found in slcan_write_wakeup in     driverset/can/slcan.c in the serial CAN module slcan. A     race condition occurs when communicating with can using     slcan between the write (scheduling the transmit) and     closing (flushing out any pending queues) the SLCAN     channel. This flaw allows a local attacker with special     user or root privileges to cause a denial of service or     a kernel information leak. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to system     availability.(CVE-2020-14416)In the Linux kernel     through 5.7.6, usbtest_disconnect in     drivers/usb/misc/usbtest.c has a memory leak, aka     CID-28ebeb8db770.(CVE-2020-15393)The Linux kernel     through 5.7.11 allows remote attackers to make     observations that help to obtain sensitive information     about the internal state of the network RNG, aka     CID-f227e3ec3b5c. This is related to     drivers/char/random.c and     kernel/time/timer.c.(CVE-2020-16166)A flaw was found in     the Linux kernel's implementation of Userspace core     dumps. This flaw allows an attacker with a local     account to crash a trivial program and exfiltrate     private kernel data.(CVE-2020-10732)A flaw null pointer     dereference in the Linux kernel cgroupv2 subsystem in     versions before 5.7.10 was found in the way when reboot     the system. A local user could use this flaw to crash     the system or escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2020-14356)The Linux kernel 4.9.x before     4.9.233, 4.14.x before 4.14.194, and 4.19.x before     4.19.140 has a use-after-free because skcd->no_refcnt     was not considered during a backport of a     CVE-2020-14356 patch. This is related to the cgroups     feature.(CVE-2020-25220)get_gate_page in mm/gup.c in     the Linux kernel 5.7.x and 5.8.x before 5.8.7 allows     privilege escalation because of incorrect reference     counting (caused by gate page mishandling) of the     struct page that backs the vsyscall page. The result is     a refcount underflow. This can be triggered by any     64-bit process that can use ptrace() or     process_vm_readv(), aka     CID-9fa2dd946743.(CVE-2020-25221)In the Linux kernel     through 5.8.7, local attackers able to inject conntrack     netlink configuration could overflow a local buffer,     causing crashes or triggering use of incorrect protocol     numbers in ctnetlink_parse_tuple_filter in     net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c, aka     CID-1cc5ef91d2ff.(CVE-2020-25211)A buffer over-read     flaw was found in RH kernel versions before 5.0 in     crypto_authenc_extractkeys in crypto/authenc.c in the     IPsec Cryptographic algorithm's module, authenc. When a     payload longer than 4 bytes, and is not following     4-byte alignment boundary guidelines, it causes a     buffer over-read threat, leading to a system crash.
    This flaw allows a local attacker with user privileges     to cause a denial of service.(CVE-2020-10769)A flaw was     found in the Linux kernel's implementation of the     invert video code on VGA consoles when a local attacker     attempts to resize the console, calling an ioctl     VT_RESIZE, which causes an out-of-bounds write to     occur. This flaw allows a local user with access to the     VGA console to crash the system, potentially escalating     their privileges on the system. The highest threat from     this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and     integrity as well as system     availability.(CVE-2020-14331)In cdev_get of char_dev.c,     there is a possible use-after-free due to a race     condition. This could lead to local escalation of     privilege with System execution privileges needed. User     interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product:

The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2021:3205-1 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.6.11. sg_write lacks an sg_remove_request call in a     certain failure case, aka CID-83c6f2390040. (CVE-2020-12770)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - kernel: SVM nested virtualization issue in KVM (AVIC support) (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 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.

  - 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)

  - ** 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)

  - In kernel/bpf/hashtab.c in the Linux kernel through 5.13.8, there is an integer overflow and out-of-bounds     write when many elements are placed in a single bucket. NOTE: exploitation might be impractical without     the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability. (CVE-2021-38166)

  - 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)

  - drivers/net/ethernet/xilinx/xilinx_emaclite.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.3 makes it easier for     attackers to defeat an ASLR protection mechanism because it prints a kernel pointer (i.e., the real IOMEM     pointer). (CVE-2021-38205)

  - The mac80211 subsystem in the Linux kernel before 5.12.13, when a device supporting only 5 GHz is used,     allows attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference in the radiotap parser) by     injecting a frame with 802.11a rates. (CVE-2021-38206)

  - drivers/net/ethernet/xilinx/ll_temac_main.c in the Linux kernel before 5.12.13 allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and lockup) by sending heavy network traffic for about ten     minutes. (CVE-2021-38207)

  - net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_standalone.c in the Linux kernel before 5.12.2 allows observation of changes in     any net namespace because these changes are leaked into all other net namespaces. This is related to the     NF_SYSCTL_CT_MAX, NF_SYSCTL_CT_EXPECT_MAX, and NF_SYSCTL_CT_BUCKETS sysctls. (CVE-2021-38209)

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 OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address security updates:

  - The imon_probe function in drivers/media/rc/imon.c in the Linux kernel through 4.13.11 allows local users     to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via a crafted USB device. (CVE-2017-16537)

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.13.5, a local user could create keyrings for other users via keyctl commands,     setting unwanted defaults or causing a denial of service. (CVE-2017-18270)

  - The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.10.13 allows local users to cause a denial of service     (memory consumption) via a series of KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_THREAD_KEYRING keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring calls.
    (CVE-2017-7472)

  - In get_futex_key of futex.c, there is a use-after-free due to improper locking. This could lead to local     escalation of privilege with no additional privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation. Product: Android Versions: Android kernel Android ID: A-74250718 References: Upstream     kernel. (CVE-2018-9422)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.6.11. sg_write lacks an sg_remove_request call in a     certain failure case, aka CID-83c6f2390040. (CVE-2020-12770)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in versions before 5.9-rc6. When changing screen size, an out-of-     bounds memory write can occur leading to memory corruption or a denial of service. Due to the nature of     the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out. (CVE-2020-14390)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.3 when a webcam device exists. video_usercopy in     drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c has a memory leak for large arguments, aka CID-fb18802a338b.
    (CVE-2021-30002)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.15.2, mwifiex_usb_recv in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/usb.c allows     an attacker (who can connect a crafted USB device) to cause a denial of service (skb_over_panic).
    (CVE-2021-43976)

  - In the IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel before 5.12.4, net/ipv4/route.c has an information leak     because the hash table is very small. (CVE-2021-45486)

  - A vulnerability was found in linux kernel, where an information leak occurs via ext4_extent_header to     userspace. (CVE-2022-0850)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in fs/ext4/namei.c:dx_insert_block() in the Linux kernel's filesystem sub-     component. This flaw allows a local attacker with a user privilege to cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2022-1184)

  - Dm-verity is used for extending root-of-trust to root filesystems. LoadPin builds on this property to     restrict module/firmware loads to just the trusted root filesystem. Device-mapper table reloads currently     allow users with root privileges to switch out the target with an equivalent dm-linear target and bypass     verification till reboot. This allows root to bypass LoadPin and can be used to load untrusted and     unverified kernel modules and firmware, which implies arbitrary kernel execution and persistence for     peripherals that do not verify firmware updates. We recommend upgrading past commit     4caae58406f8ceb741603eee460d79bacca9b1b5 (CVE-2022-2503)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's driver for the ASIX AX88179_178A-based USB 2.0/3.0 Gigabit Ethernet     Devices. The vulnerability contains multiple out-of-bounds reads and possible out-of-bounds writes.
    (CVE-2022-2964)

  - 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)

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 SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP1 LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

    The following security bugs were fixed:

    - Unprivileged BPF has been disabled by default to reduce attack surface as too many security issues have     happened in the past (jsc#SLE-22573)

      You can reenable via systemctl setting /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled to 0.
    (kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled = 0)

    - CVE-2021-0941: 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 (bnc#1192045).
    - CVE-2021-31916: 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 A bound check failure allowed 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 (bnc#1192781).
    - CVE-2021-20322: Make the ipv4 and ipv6 ICMP exception caches less predictive to avoid information leaks     about UDP ports in use. (bsc#1191790)
    - CVE-2021-34981: Fixed file refcounting in cmtp when cmtp_attach_device fails  (bsc#1191961).
    - CVE-2021-37159: hso_free_net_device in drivers/net/usb/hso.c in the Linux kernel calls unregister_netdev     without checking for the NETREG_REGISTERED state, leading to a use-after-free and a double free     (bnc#1188601).
    - CVE-2021-3772: Fixed sctp vtag check in sctp_sf_ootb (bsc#1190351).
    - CVE-2021-3655: Missing size validations on inbound SCTP packets may have allowed the kernel to read     uninitialized memory (bnc#1188563).
    - CVE-2021-33033: The Linux kernel 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 (bnc#1186109 bnc#1186390 bnc#1188876).
    - CVE-2021-3760: Fixed a use-after-free vulnerability with the ndev->rf_conn_info object (bsc#1190067).
    - CVE-2021-42739: The firewire subsystem in the Linux kernel has a buffer overflow related to     drivers/media/firewire/firedtv-avc.c and drivers/media/firewire/firedtv-ci.c, because avc_ca_pmt     mishandled bounds checking (bnc#1184673).
    - CVE-2021-3542: Fixed heap buffer overflow in firedtv driver (bsc#1186063).
    - CVE-2018-13405: The inode_init_owner function in fs/inode.c in the Linux kernel allowed 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 (bnc#1100416 bnc#1129735).
    - CVE-2021-3715: Fixed a use-after-free in route4_change() in net/sched/cls_route.c (bsc#1190349).
    - CVE-2021-34556: 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 (bnc#1188983).
    - CVE-2021-35477: 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 did not     necessarily occur before a store operation that has an attacker-controlled value (bnc#1188985).
    - CVE-2021-42252: An issue was discovered in aspeed_lpc_ctrl_mmap in drivers/soc/aspeed/aspeed-lpc-ctrl.c     in the Linux kernel 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 (bnc#1190479).
    - CVE-2021-41864: prealloc_elems_and_freelist in kernel/bpf/stackmap.c in the Linux kernel allowed     unprivileged users to trigger an eBPF multiplication integer overflow with a resultant out-of-bounds write     (bnc#1191317).
    - CVE-2021-42008: The decode_data function in drivers/net/hamradio/6pack.c in the Linux kernel has a slab     out-of-bounds write. Input from a process that has the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability can lead to root access     (bnc#1191315).
    - CVE-2021-3759: Unaccounted ipc objects could have lead to breaking memcg limits and DoS attacks     (bsc#1190115).
    - CVE-2020-3702: 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 (bnc#1191193).
    - CVE-2021-3752: Fixed a use after free vulnerability in the bluetooth module. (bsc#1190023)
    - CVE-2021-40490: A race condition was discovered in ext4_write_inline_data_end in fs/ext4/inline.c in the     ext4 subsystem in the Linux kernel (bnc#1190159 bnc#1192775)
    - CVE-2021-3744: Fixed a bug which could allows attackers to cause a denial of service. (bsc#1189884)
    - CVE-2021-3764: Fixed a bug which could allows attackers to cause a denial of service. (bsc#1190534)
    - CVE-2020-12770: An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel sg_write lacks an sg_remove_request call in     a certain failure case, aka CID-83c6f2390040 (bnc#1171420).
    - CVE-2021-3640: Fixed a Use-After-Free vulnerability in function sco_sock_sendmsg() in the bluetooth     stack (bsc#1188172).
    - CVE-2019-3900: An infinite loop issue was found in the vhost_net kernel module, 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 (bnc#1133374).
    - CVE-2019-3874: 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. (bnc#1129898).
    - CVE-2018-9517: 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. (bnc#1108488).
    - CVE-2021-38160: Data corruption or loss could be triggered by an untrusted device that supplies a     buf->len value exceeding the buffer size in drivers/char/virtio_console.c (bsc#1190117)
    - CVE-2021-3753: Fixed race out-of-bounds in virtual terminal handling (bsc#1190025).
    - CVE-2021-3732: Mounting overlayfs inside an unprivileged user namespace can reveal files (bsc#1189706).
    - 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 '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 (bnc#1189399).
    - CVE-2021-3656: Missing validation of the the `virt_ext` VMCB field and allows a malicious L1 guest to     disable both VMLOAD/VMSAVE intercepts and VLS for the L2 guest (bsc#1189400).
    - CVE-2021-38204: drivers/usb/host/max3421-hcd.c allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a denial     of service (use-after-free and panic) by removing a MAX-3421 USB device in certain situations     (bnc#1189291).
    - CVE-2021-3679: A lack of CPU resource in the tracing module functionality 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 (bnc#1189057).
    - CVE-2020-4788: 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 (bnc#0 bnc#1177666 bnc#1181158).
    - CVE-2021-3659: Fixed a NULL pointer dereference in llsec_key_alloc() in net/mac802154/llsec.c     (bsc#1188876).
    - CVE-2020-0429: 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. User interaction is not needed for exploitation (bnc#1176724).
    - CVE-2021-37576: arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_rtas.c on the powerpc platform allowed KVM guest OS users to     cause host OS memory corruption via rtas_args.nargs, aka CID-f62f3c20647e (bnc#1188838 bnc#1190276).
    - CVE-2021-22543: 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 allowed users with the     ability to start and control a VM to read/write random pages of memory and can result in local privilege     escalation (bnc#1186482 bnc#1190276).
    - CVE-2021-33909: fs/seq_file.c did 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     (bnc#1188062 bnc#1188063).

NOTE: third parties dispute the relevance of this because     an attacker cannot realistically control this failure at probe time (CVE-2019-19046)

  - A memory leak in the nl80211_get_ftm_responder_stats() function in net/wireless/nl80211.c in the Linux     kernel through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering     nl80211hdr_put() failures, aka CID-1399c59fa929. NOTE: third parties dispute the relevance of this because     it occurs on a code path where a successful allocation has already occurred (CVE-2019-19055)

  - A memory leak in the alloc_sgtable() function in drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/fw/dbg.c in the Linux     kernel through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering     alloc_page() failures, aka CID-b4b814fec1a5. (CVE-2019-19058)

  - Multiple memory leaks in the iwl_pcie_ctxt_info_gen3_init() function in     drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/pcie/ctxt-info-gen3.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.11 allow     attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering iwl_pcie_init_fw_sec() or     dma_alloc_coherent() failures, aka CID-0f4f199443fa. (CVE-2019-19059)

  - A memory leak in the crypto_report() function in crypto/crypto_user_base.c in the Linux kernel through     5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering     crypto_report_alg() failures, aka CID-ffdde5932042. (CVE-2019-19062)

  - Two memory leaks in the rtl_usb_probe() function in drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/usb.c in the     Linux kernel through 5.3.11 allow attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption), aka     CID-3f9361695113. (CVE-2019-19063)

  - An out-of-bounds memory write issue was found in the Linux Kernel, version 3.13 through 5.4, in the way     the Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor handled the 'KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID' ioctl(2) request to get CPUID     features emulated by the KVM hypervisor. A user or process able to access the '/dev/kvm' device could use     this flaw to crash the system, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2019-19332)

  - In the Linux kernel 5.0.21, mounting a crafted ext4 filesystem image, performing some operations, and     unmounting can lead to a use-after-free in ext4_put_super in fs/ext4/super.c, related to dump_orphan_list     in fs/ext4/super.c. (CVE-2019-19447)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.3.7, there is a use-after-free bug that can be caused by a malicious USB     device in the drivers/usb/misc/adutux.c driver, aka CID-44efc269db79. (CVE-2019-19523)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.3.12, there is a use-after-free bug that can be caused by a malicious USB     device in the drivers/input/ff-memless.c driver, aka CID-fa3a5a1880c9. (CVE-2019-19524)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.2.10, there is a use-after-free bug that can be caused by a malicious USB     device in the drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c driver, aka CID-c52873e5a1ef. (CVE-2019-19530)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.3.11, there is an info-leak bug that can be caused by a malicious USB device     in the drivers/net/can/usb/peak_usb/pcan_usb_core.c driver, aka CID-f7a1337f0d29. (CVE-2019-19534)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.2.10, there is a race condition bug that can be caused by a malicious USB     device in the USB character device driver layer, aka CID-303911cfc5b9. This affects     drivers/usb/core/file.c. (CVE-2019-19537)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.4.2 mishandles ext4_expand_extra_isize, as demonstrated by use-after-free errors     in __ext4_expand_extra_isize and ext4_xattr_set_entry, related to fs/ext4/inode.c and fs/ext4/super.c, aka     CID-4ea99936a163. (CVE-2019-19767)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.3.11, sound/core/timer.c has a use-after-free caused by erroneous code     refactoring, aka CID-e7af6307a8a5. This is related to snd_timer_open and snd_timer_close_locked. The     timeri variable was originally intended to be for a newly created timer instance, but was used for a     different purpose after refactoring. (CVE-2019-19807)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.0.6, there is a NULL pointer dereference in drop_sysctl_table() in     fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c, related to put_links, aka CID-23da9588037e. (CVE-2019-20054)

  - mwifiex_tm_cmd in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/cfg80211.c in the Linux kernel before 5.1.6 has     some error-handling cases that did not free allocated hostcmd memory, aka CID-003b686ace82. This will     cause a memory leak and denial of service. (CVE-2019-20095)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.4.12, drivers/input/input.c has out-of-bounds writes via a crafted keycode     table, as demonstrated by input_set_keycode, aka CID-cb222aed03d7. (CVE-2019-20636)

  - In the Android kernel in i2c driver there is a possible out of bounds write due to memory corruption. This     could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is     not needed for exploitation. (CVE-2019-9454)

  - In the Android kernel in the video driver there is a use after free due to a race condition. This could     lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is     not needed for exploitation. (CVE-2019-9458)

  - There is a use-after-free in kernel versions before 5.5 due to a race condition between the release of     ptp_clock and cdev while resource deallocation. When a (high privileged) process allocates a ptp device     file (like /dev/ptpX) and voluntarily goes to sleep. During this time if the underlying device is removed,     it can cause an exploitable condition as the process wakes up to terminate and clean all attached files.
    The system crashes due to the cdev structure being invalid (as already freed) which is pointed to by the     inode. (CVE-2020-10690)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of Userspace core dumps. This flaw allows an     attacker with a local account to crash a trivial program and exfiltrate private kernel data.
    (CVE-2020-10732)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. An index buffer overflow during Direct IO write leading to the NFS     client to crash. In some cases, a reach out of the index after one memory allocation by kmalloc will cause     a kernel panic. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and system     availability. (CVE-2020-10742)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernels SELinux LSM hook implementation before version 5.7, where it     incorrectly assumed that an skb would only contain a single netlink message. The hook would incorrectly     only validate the first netlink message in the skb and allow or deny the rest of the messages within the     skb with the granted permission without further processing. (CVE-2020-10751)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.5.8, get_raw_socket in drivers/vhost/net.c lacks validation of an sk_family     field, which might allow attackers to trigger kernel stack corruption via crafted system calls.
    (CVE-2020-10942)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.6.2. mpol_parse_str in mm/mempolicy.c has a stack-     based out-of-bounds write because an empty nodelist is mishandled during mount option parsing, aka CID-     aa9f7d5172fa. NOTE: Someone in the security community disagrees that this is a vulnerability because the     issue is a bug in parsing mount options which can only be specified by a privileged user, so triggering     the bug does not grant any powers not already held. (CVE-2020-11565)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.6.11. sg_write lacks an sg_remove_request call in a     certain failure case, aka CID-83c6f2390040. (CVE-2020-12770)

  - A signal access-control issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.6.5, aka CID-7395ea4e65c2.
    Because exec_id in include/linux/sched.h is only 32 bits, an integer overflow can interfere with a     do_notify_parent protection mechanism. A child process can send an arbitrary signal to a parent process in     a different security domain. Exploitation limitations include the amount of elapsed time before an integer     overflow occurs, and the lack of scenarios where signals to a parent process present a substantial     operational threat. (CVE-2020-12826)

  - An out-of-bounds memory write flaw was found in how the Linux kernel's Voice Over IP H.323 connection     tracking functionality handled connections on ipv6 port 1720. This flaw allows an unauthenticated remote     user to crash the system, causing a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-14305)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of some networking protocols in IPsec, such as VXLAN     and GENEVE tunnels over IPv6. When an encrypted tunnel is created between two hosts, the kernel isn't     correctly routing tunneled data over the encrypted link; rather sending the data unencrypted. This would     allow anyone in between the two endpoints to read the traffic unencrypted. The main threat from this     vulnerability is to data confidentiality. (CVE-2020-1749)

  - A flaw was discovered in the way that the KVM hypervisor handled instruction emulation for an L2 guest     when nested virtualisation is enabled. Under some circumstances, an L2 guest may trick the L0 guest into     accessing sensitive L1 resources that should be inaccessible to the L2 guest. (CVE-2020-2732)

  - There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel through 5.5.2 in the vc_do_resize function in     drivers/tty/vt/vt.c. (CVE-2020-8647)

  - There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel through 5.5.2 in the vgacon_invert_region     function in drivers/video/console/vgacon.c. (CVE-2020-8649)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 3.16 through 5.5.6. set_fdc in drivers/block/floppy.c leads to     a wait_til_ready out-of-bounds read because the FDC index is not checked for errors before assigning it,     aka CID-2e90ca68b0d2. (CVE-2020-9383)

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 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2021:3415-1 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.6.11. sg_write lacks an sg_remove_request call in a     certain failure case, aka CID-83c6f2390040. (CVE-2020-12770)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - 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 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 flaw was found in the Linux kernel. Measuring usage of the shared memory does not scale with large     shared memory segment counts which could lead to resource exhaustion and DoS. (CVE-2021-3669)

  - 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 NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the btrfs_rm_device function in fs/btrfs/volumes.c in the     Linux Kernel, where triggering the bug requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN'. This flaw allows a local attacker to     crash the system or leak kernel internal information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to     system availability. (CVE-2021-3739)

  - An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory read flaw was found in the Qualcomm IPC router protocol in the Linux kernel.
    A missing sanity check allows a local attacker 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-2021-3743)

  - 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)

  - 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 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)

  - ** 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)

  - 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)
