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

  - mwifiex_cmd_802_11_ad_hoc_start in     drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/join.c in the     Linux kernel through 5.10.4 might allow remote     attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long SSID     value, aka CID-5c455c5ab332.(CVE-2020-36158)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A use-after-free     was found in the way the console subsystem was using     ioctls KDGKBSENT and KDSKBSENT. A local user could use     this flaw to get read memory access out of bounds. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality.(CVE-2020-25656)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A use-after-free     memory flaw was found in the perf subsystem allowing a     local attacker with permission to monitor perf events     to corrupt memory and possibly escalate privileges. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality and integrity as well as system     availability.(CVE-2020-14351)

  - A flaw was found in the way RTAS handled memory     accesses in userspace to kernel communication. On a     locked down (usually due to Secure Boot) guest system     running on top of PowerVM or KVM hypervisors (pseries     platform) a root like local user could use this flaw to     further increase their privileges to that of a running     kernel.(CVE-2020-27777)

  - A locking issue was discovered in the tty subsystem of     the Linux kernel through 5.9.13.
    drivers/tty/tty_jobctrl.c allows a use-after-free     attack against TIOCSPGRP, aka     CID-54ffccbf053b.(CVE-2020-29661)

  - A locking inconsistency issue was discovered in the tty     subsystem of the Linux kernel through 5.9.13.
    drivers/tty/tty_io.c and drivers/tty/tty_jobctrl.c may     allow a read-after-free attack against TIOCGSID, aka     CID-c8bcd9c5be24.(CVE-2020-29660)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.2.6. On NUMA systems, the Linux fair scheduler has a     use-after-free in show_numa_stats() because NUMA fault     statistics are inappropriately freed, aka     CID-16d51a590a8c.(CVE-2019-20934)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernels implementation of     MIDI, where an attacker with a local account and the     permissions to issue an ioctl commands to midi devices,     could trigger a use-after-free. A write to this     specific memory while freed and before use could cause     the flow of execution to change and possibly allow for     memory corruption or privilege     escalation.(CVE-2020-27786)

  - An issue was discovered in romfs_dev_read in     fs/romfs/storage.c in the Linux kernel before 5.8.4.
    Uninitialized memory leaks to userspace, aka     CID-bcf85fcedfdd.(CVE-2020-29371)

  - In the Android kernel in Pixel C USB monitor driver     there is a possible OOB write due to a missing bounds     check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege     with System execution privileges needed. User     interaction is not needed for     exploitation.(CVE-2019-9456)

  - A stack information leak flaw was found in s390/s390x     in the Linux kernel's memory manager functionality,     where it incorrectly writes to the     /proc/sys/vm/cmm_timeout file. This flaw allows a local     user to see the kernel data.(CVE-2020-10773)

  - A pivot_root race condition in fs/namespace.c in the     Linux kernel 4.4.x before 4.4.221, 4.9.x before     4.9.221, 4.14.x before 4.14.178, 4.19.x before     4.19.119, and 5.x before 5.3 allows local users to     cause a denial of service (panic) by corrupting a     mountpoint reference counter.(CVE-2020-12114)

  - 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)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in fs/block_dev.c in the     Linux kernel before 5.8 allows local users to gain     privileges or cause a denial of service by leveraging     improper access to a certain error     field.(CVE-2020-15436)

  - The Linux kernel before version 5.8 is vulnerable to a     NULL pointer dereference in     drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c:serial8250_isa_init
    _ports() that allows local users to cause a denial of     service by using the p->serial_in pointer which     uninitialized.(CVE-2020-15437)

  - A buffer over-read (at the framebuffer layer) in the     fbcon code in the Linux kernel before 5.8.15 could be     used by local attackers to read kernel memory, aka     CID-6735b4632def.(CVE-2020-28915)

  - A slab-out-of-bounds read in fbcon in the Linux kernel     before 5.9.7 could be used by local attackers to read     privileged information or potentially crash the kernel,     aka CID-3c4e0dff2095. This occurs because     KD_FONT_OP_COPY in drivers/tty/vt/vt.c can be used for     manipulations such as font height.(CVE-2020-28974)

  - 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: AndroidVersions:
    Android-10Android ID: A-153467744(CVE-2020-0305)

  - Improper access control in BlueZ may allow an     unauthenticated user to potentially enable information     disclosure via adjacent access.(CVE-2020-12352)
