Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise 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 Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - 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)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2025-414607 advisory.

    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.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

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 kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.232-123.381. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2021-1503 advisory.

    kernel: refcount leak in llcp_sock_bind() (CVE-2020-25670)

    kernel: refcount leak in llcp_sock_connect() (CVE-2020-25671)

    kernel: memory leak in llcp_sock_connect() (CVE-2020-25672)

    An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel related to mm/gup.c and mm/huge_memory.c. The get_user_pages     (aka gup) implementation, when used for a copy-on-write page, does not properly consider the semantics of     read operations and therefore can grant unintended write access. (CVE-2020-29374)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SCTP socket functionality that triggers a race     condition. This flaw allows a local user to escalate their privileges on the system. The highest threat     from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-23133)

    The fix for XSA-365 includes initialization of pointers such that subsequent cleanup code wouldn't use     uninitialized or stale values. This initialization went too far and may under certain conditions also     overwrite pointers which are in need of cleaning up. The lack of cleanup would result in leaking     persistent grants. The leak in turn would prevent fully cleaning up after a respective guest has died,     leaving around zombie domains. All Linux versions having the fix for XSA-365 applied are vulnerable.
    XSA-365 was classified to affect versions back to at least 3.11. (CVE-2021-28688)

    A race condition flaw was found in get_old_root in fs/btrfs/ctree.c in the Linux kernel in btrfs file-     system. This flaw allows a local attacker with a special user privilege to cause a denial of service due     to not locking an extent buffer before a cloning operation. The highest threat from this vulnerability is     to system availability. (CVE-2021-28964)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. On some Haswell CPUs, userspace applications (such as perf-fuzzer)     can cause a system crash because the PEBS status in a PEBS record is mishandled. (CVE-2021-28971)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernels eBPF implementation. By default, accessing the eBPF verifier is only     accessible to privileged users with CAP_SYS_ADMIN.   A local user with the ability to insert eBPF     instructions can abuse a flaw in eBPF to corrupt memory. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-29154)

    A vulnerability was discovered in retrieve_ptr_limit in kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel     mechanism to mitigate speculatively out-of-bounds loads (Spectre mitigation). In this flaw a local,     special user privileged (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) BPF program running on affected systems may bypass the protection,     and execute speculatively out-of-bounds loads from the kernel memory. This can be abused to extract     contents of kernel memory via side-channel. (CVE-2021-29155)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's eBPF verification code. By default, accessing the eBPF verifier is     only accessible to privileged users with CAP_SYS_ADMIN. This flaw allows a local user who can insert eBPF     instructions, to use the eBPF verifier to abuse a spectre-like flaw and infer all system memory. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality. (CVE-2021-31829)

    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 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)

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

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

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     5.2.13. nbd_genl_status in drivers/block/nbd.c does not     check the nla_nest_start_noflag return     value.(CVE-2019-16089)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel where     refcount leak in llcp_sock_bind() causing     use-after-free which might lead to privilege     escalations.(CVE-2020-25670)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel, where a     refcount leak in llcp_sock_connect() causing     use-after-free which might lead to privilege     escalations.(CVE-2020-25671)

  - A memory leak vulnerability was found in Linux kernel     in llcp_sock_connect(CVE-2020-25672)

  - 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)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/fuse/fuse_i.h in the     Linux kernel before 5.11.8. A 'stall on CPU' can occur     because a retry loop continually finds the same bad     inode, aka CID-775c5033a0d1.(CVE-2021-28950)

  - Use After Free vulnerability in nfc sockets in the     Linux Kernel before 5.12.4 allows local attackers to     elevate their privileges. In typical configurations,     the issue can only be triggered by a privileged local     user with the CAP_NET_RAW capability.(CVE-2021-23134)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     5.11.x. kernel/bpf/verifier.c performs undesirable     out-of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic,     leading to side-channel attacks that defeat Spectre     mitigations and obtain sensitive information from     kernel memory. Specifically, for sequences of pointer     arithmetic operations, the pointer modification     performed by the first operation is not correctly     accounted for when restricting subsequent     operations.(CVE-2021-29155)

  - The bpf verifier in the Linux kernel did not properly     handle mod32 destination register truncation when the     source register was known to be 0. A local attacker     with the ability to load bpf programs could use this     gain out-of-bounds reads in kernel memory leading to     information disclosure (kernel memory), and possibly     out-of-bounds writes that could potentially lead to     code execution. This issue was addressed in the     upstream kernel in commit 9b00f1b78809 ('bpf: Fix     truncation handling for mod32 dst reg wrt zero') and in     Linux stable kernels 5.11.2, 5.10.19, and     5.4.101.(CVE-2021-3444)

  - 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)

  - kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through     5.12.1 performs undesirable speculative loads, leading     to disclosure of stack content via side-channel     attacks, aka CID-801c6058d14a. The specific concern is     not protecting the BPF stack area against speculative     loads. Also, the BPF stack can contain uninitialized     data that might represent sensitive information     previously operated on by the kernel.(CVE-2021-31829)

  - net/bluetooth/hci_request.c in the Linux kernel through     5.12.2 has a race condition for removal of the HCI     controller.(CVE-2021-32399)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.12.4,     net/bluetooth/hci_event.c has a use-after-free when     destroying an hci_chan, aka CID-5c4c8c954409. This     leads to writing an arbitrary value.(CVE-2021-33034)

The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-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.
    User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID:

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - ** REJECT ** DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: CVE-2021-42739. Reason: This candidate is a     reservation duplicate of CVE-2021-42739. Notes: All CVE users should reference CVE-2021-42739 instead of     this candidate. All references and descriptions in this candidate have been removed to prevent accidental     usage. (CVE-2021-3542)

  - 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 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)

  - kernel: SVM nested virtualization issue in KVM (VMLOAD/VMSAVE) (CVE-2021-3656)

  - kernel: NULL pointer dereference in llsec_key_alloc() in net/mac802154/llsec.c (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)

  - kernel: use-after-free in route4_change() in net/sched/cls_route.c (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)

  - kernel: overlayfs: Mounting overlayfs inside an unprivileged user namespace can reveal files     (CVE-2021-3732)

  - ccp - fix resource leaks in ccp_run_aes_gcm_cmd() [fedora-all] (CVE-2021-3744)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. When reusing a socket with an attached dccps_hc_tx_ccid as a     listener, the socket will be used after being released leading to denial of service (DoS) or a potential     code execution. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as     well as system availability. (CVE-2020-16119) (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 flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A corrupted timer tree caused the task wakeup to be missing in the     timerqueue_add function in lib/timerqueue.c. This flaw allows a local attacker with special user     privileges to cause a denial of service, slowing and eventually stopping the system while running OSP. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is system availability. (CVE-2021-20317) (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)

  - 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)

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.1.4, a buffer overflow occurs when checking userspace params in     drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cx24116.c. The maximum size for a DiSEqC command is 6, according to the     userspace API. However, the code allows larger values such as 23. (CVE-2015-9289)

  - The evm_verify_hmac function in security/integrity/evm/evm_main.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5 does not     properly copy data, which makes it easier for local users to forge MAC values via a timing side-channel     attack. (CVE-2016-2085)

  - The rtnl_fill_link_ifmap function in net/core/rtnetlink.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.5 does not     initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel     stack memory by reading a Netlink message. (CVE-2016-4486)

  - Race condition in the sclp_ctl_ioctl_sccb function in drivers/s390/char/sclp_ctl.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.6 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by changing a certain     length value, aka a 'double fetch' vulnerability. (CVE-2016-6130)

  - 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)

  - In do_epoll_ctl and ep_loop_check_proc of eventpoll.c, there is a possible use after free due to a logic     error. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed.

    A-147802478References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2020-0466)

  - A race condition was found in the Linux kernels implementation of the floppy disk drive controller driver     software. The impact of this issue is lessened by the fact that the default permissions on the floppy     device (/dev/fd0) are restricted to root. If the permissions on the device have changed the impact changes     greatly. In the default configuration root (or equivalent) permissions are required to attack this flaw.
    (CVE-2021-20261)

  - There is a flaw reported in the Linux kernel in versions before 5.9 in     drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_sgdma.c in nouveau_sgdma_create_ttm in Nouveau DRM subsystem. The issue     results from the lack of validating the existence of an object prior to performing operations on the     object. An attacker with a local account with a root privilege, can leverage this vulnerability to     escalate privileges and execute code in the context of the kernel. (CVE-2021-20292)

  - A heap out-of-bounds write affecting Linux since v2.6.19-rc1 was discovered in net/netfilter/x_tables.c.
    This allows an attacker to gain privileges or cause a DoS (via heap memory corruption) through user name     space (CVE-2021-22555)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. A kernel pointer leak can be used to determine     the address of the iscsi_transport structure. When an iSCSI transport is registered with the iSCSI     subsystem, the transport's handle is available to unprivileged users via the sysfs file system, at     /sys/class/iscsi_transport/$TRANSPORT_NAME/handle. When read, the show_transport_handle function (in     drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c) is called, which leaks the handle. This handle is actually the     pointer to an iscsi_transport struct in the kernel module's global variables. (CVE-2021-27363)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c is     adversely affected by the ability of an unprivileged user to craft Netlink messages. (CVE-2021-27364)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. Certain iSCSI data structures do not have     appropriate length constraints or checks, and can exceed the PAGE_SIZE value. An unprivileged user can     send a Netlink message that is associated with iSCSI, and has a length up to the maximum length of a     Netlink message. (CVE-2021-27365)

  - 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)

  - ** DISPUTED ** fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c in the Linux kernel through 5.10.8, when there is an NFS export of a     subdirectory of a filesystem, allows remote attackers to traverse to other parts of the filesystem via     READDIRPLUS. NOTE: some parties argue that such a subdirectory export is not intended to prevent this     attack; see also the exports(5) no_subtree_check default behavior. (CVE-2021-3178)

  - 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)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.10.11. PI futexes have a kernel stack use-after-free     during fault handling, allowing local users to execute code in the kernel, aka CID-34b1a1ce1458.
    (CVE-2021-3347)

  - 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)

  - A flaw was found in the Nosy driver in the Linux kernel. This issue allows a device to be inserted twice     into a doubly-linked list, leading to a use-after-free when one of these devices is removed. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. Versions     before kernel 5.12-rc6 are affected (CVE-2021-3483)

  - kernel/module.c in the Linux kernel before 5.12.14 mishandles Signature Verification, aka     CID-0c18f29aae7c. Without CONFIG_MODULE_SIG, verification that a kernel module is signed, for loading via     init_module, does not occur for a module.sig_enforce=1 command-line argument. (CVE-2021-35039)

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 6.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-6.0.2 advisory.

  - 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)

  - Apache Tomcat 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.6, 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.46 and 8.5.0 to 8.5.66 did not correctly parse the HTTP     transfer-encoding request header in some circumstances leading to the possibility to request smuggling     when used with a reverse proxy. Specifically: - Tomcat incorrectly ignored the transfer encoding header if     the client declared it would only accept an HTTP/1.0 response; - Tomcat honoured the identify encoding;
    and - Tomcat did not ensure that, if present, the chunked encoding was the final encoding.
