    - CVE-2021-43389: There was an array-index-out-of-bounds flaw in the detach_capi_ctr function in     drivers/isdn/capi/kcapi.c (bnc#1191958).
    - CVE-2021-37159: hso_free_net_device in drivers/net/usb/hso.c called unregister_netdev without checking     for the NETREG_REGISTERED state, leading to a use-after-free and a double free (bnc#1188601).
    - 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-2017-17862: kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel ignores unreachable code, even though it would     still be processed by JIT compilers. This behavior, also considered an improper branch-pruning logic     issue, could possibly be used by local users for denial of service (bnc#1073928).
    - CVE-2017-17864: kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel mishandled states_equal comparisons between     the pointer data type and the UNKNOWN_VALUE data type, which allowed local users to obtain potentially     sensitive address information, aka a 'pointer leak (bnc#1073928).
    - CVE-2021-20265: A flaw was found in the way memory resources were freed in the unix_stream_recvmsg     function in the Linux kernel when a signal was pending.

    - 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-2021-3760: Fixed a use-after-free vulnerability with the ndev->rf_conn_info object (bsc#1190067).

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 bnc#1189420).
    - CVE-2021-38198: arch/x86/kvm/mmu/paging_tmpl.h in the Linux kernel incorrectly computes the access     permissions of a shadow page, leading to a missing guest protection page fault (bnc#1189262 bnc#1189278).
    - CVE-2021-38204: drivers/usb/host/max3421-hcd.c in the Linux kernel 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 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 (bnc#1189057).
    - CVE-2018-16882: A use-after-free issue was found in the way the Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor processed     posted interrupts when nested(=1) virtualization is enabled. In nested_get_vmcs12_pages(), in case of an     error while processing posted interrupt address, it unmaps the 'pi_desc_page' without resetting 'pi_desc'     descriptor address, which is later used in pi_test_and_clear_on(). A guest user/process could use this     flaw to crash the host kernel resulting in DoS or potentially gain privileged access to a system. Kernel     versions and are vulnerable (bnc#1119934).
    - 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-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#1177666 bnc#1181158).
    - CVE-2021-3659: Fixed a NULL pointer dereference in llsec_key_alloc() in net/mac802154/llsec.c     (bsc#1188876).
    - CVE-2021-37576: arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_rtas.c in the Linux kernel on the powerpc platform allowed KVM     guest OS users to cause host OS memory corruption via rtas_args.nargs, aka CID-f62f3c20647e (bnc#1188838).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE 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 CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the kernel-5.14.0-347.el9 build changelog.

  - A stack overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TIPC protocol functionality in the way a user sends     a packet with malicious content where the number of domain member nodes is higher than the 64 allowed.
    This flaw allows a remote user to crash the system or possibly escalate their privileges if they have     access to the TIPC network. (CVE-2022-0435)

  - An issue was discovered in net/tipc/crypto.c in the Linux kernel before 5.14.16. The Transparent Inter-     Process Communication (TIPC) functionality allows remote attackers to exploit insufficient validation of     user-supplied sizes for the MSG_CRYPTO message type. (CVE-2021-43267)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux kernel, where a use-after-frees in nouveau's postclose() handler could     happen if removing device (that is not common to remove video card physically without power-off, but same     happens if unbind the driver). (CVE-2020-27820)

  - 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)

  - 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)

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