The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.10.112-108.499. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.10-2023-036 advisory.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    ubi: Fix race condition between ctrl_cdev_ioctl and ubi_cdev_ioctl (CVE-2021-47634)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    Revert Revert block, bfq: honor already-setup queue merges (CVE-2021-47646)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    ASoC: soc-compress: prevent the potentially use of null pointer (CVE-2021-47650)

    A denial of service (DOS) issue was found in the Linux kernel's smb2_ioctl_query_info function in     the fs/cifs/smb2ops.c Common Internet File System (CIFS) due to an incorrect return from the memdup_user     function. This flaw allows a local, privileged (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) attacker to crash the system.
    (CVE-2022-0168)

    When the KVM updates the guest's page table entry, it will first use get_user_pages_fast() to pin the     page, and when it fails (e.g. the vma->flags has VM_IO or VM_PFNMAP), it will get corresponding VMA where     the page lies in through find_vma_intersection(), calculate the physical address, and map the page to the     kernel virtual address through memremap(), and finally, write the update.The problem is that when we get     the vma through find_vma_intersection(), only VM_PFNMAP is checked, not both VM_IO and VM_PFNMAP. In the     reproducer below, after the KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION is completed, we replace the guest's memory mapping     with the kernel-user shared region of io_uring and then perform the KVM_TRANSLATE operation, which finally     triggers the page table entry update. Now, memremap() will return page_offset_base (direct mapping of all     physical memory) + vaddr (the linear address of KVM_TRANSLATE) + vm_pgoff (the offset when io_uring     performs mmap(2)), and use the return value as the base address for CMPXCHG (write 0x21 in this case).
    Since both vaddr and vm_pgoff are controllable by the user-mode process, writing may exceed the previously     mapped guest memory space and trigger exceptions such as UAF. The vulnerability shares similarities with     CVE-2021-22543. (CVE-2022-1158)

    A vulnerability was found in the pfkey_register function in net/key/af_key.c in the Linux kernel. This     flaw allows a local, unprivileged user to gain access to kernel memory, leading to a system crash or a     leak of internal kernel information. (CVE-2022-1353)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's io_uring interface subsystem in the way a user     triggers a race condition between timeout flush and removal. This flaw allows a local user to crash or     escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-29582)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel implementation of proxied virtualized TPM devices. On a system where     virtualized TPM devices are configured (this is not the default) a local attacker can create a use-after-     free and create a situation where it may be possible to escalate privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-2977)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A NULL pointer dereference may occur while a slip driver is in     progress to detach in sl_tx_timeout in drivers/net/slip/slip.c. This issue could allow an attacker to     crash the system or leak internal kernel information. (CVE-2022-41858)

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:4504-1 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in hw. Mis-trained branch predictions for return instructions may allow arbitrary     speculative code execution under certain microarchitecture-dependent conditions. (CVE-2022-23816)     (CVE-2022-2602)

  - There exists a use-after-free in io_uring in the Linux kernel. Signalfd_poll() and binder_poll() use a     waitqueue whose lifetime is the current task. It will send a POLLFREE notification to all waiters before     the queue is freed. Unfortunately, the io_uring poll doesn't handle POLLFREE. This allows a use-after-free     to occur if a signalfd or binder fd is polled with io_uring poll, and the waitqueue gets freed. We     recommend upgrading past commit fc78b2fc21f10c4c9c4d5d659a685710ffa63659 (CVE-2022-3176)

  - A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Linux Kernel. This affects the function     tcp_getsockopt/tcp_setsockopt of the component TCP Handler. The manipulation leads to race condition. It     is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The identifier VDB-211089 was assigned to this     vulnerability. (CVE-2022-3566)

  - A vulnerability has been found in Linux Kernel and classified as problematic. This vulnerability affects     the function inet6_stream_ops/inet6_dgram_ops of the component IPv6 Handler. The manipulation leads to     race condition. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. VDB-211090 is the identifier     assigned to this vulnerability. (CVE-2022-3567)

  - A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Linux Kernel. Affected by this issue     is the function tst_timer of the file drivers/atm/idt77252.c of the component IPsec. The manipulation     leads to use after free. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. VDB-211934 is the     identifier assigned to this vulnerability. (CVE-2022-3635)

  - Guests can trigger NIC interface reset/abort/crash via netback It is possible for a guest to trigger a NIC     interface reset/abort/crash in a Linux based network backend by sending certain kinds of packets. It     appears to be an (unwritten?) assumption in the rest of the Linux network stack that packet protocol     headers are all contained within the linear section of the SKB and some NICs behave badly if this is not     the case. This has been reported to occur with Cisco (enic) and Broadcom NetXtrem II BCM5780 (bnx2x)     though it may be an issue with other NICs/drivers as well. In case the frontend is sending requests with     split headers, netback will forward those violating above mentioned assumption to the networking core,     resulting in said misbehavior. (CVE-2022-3643)

  - A double-free memory flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The Intel GVT-g graphics driver triggers VGA card     system resource overload, causing a fail in the intel_gvt_dma_map_guest_page function. This issue could     allow a local user to crash the system. (CVE-2022-3707)

  - An incorrect read request flaw was found in the Infrared Transceiver USB driver in the Linux kernel. This     issue occurs when a user attaches a malicious USB device. A local user could use this flaw to starve the     resources, causing denial of service or potentially crashing the system. (CVE-2022-3903)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in Linux kernel before 5.19.2. This issue occurs in cmd_hdl_filter in     drivers/staging/rtl8712/rtl8712_cmd.c, allowing an attacker to launch a local denial of service attack and     gain escalation of privileges. (CVE-2022-4095)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP). A missing lock when clearing     sk_user_data can lead to a race condition and NULL pointer dereference. A local user could use this flaw     to potentially crash the system causing a denial of service. (CVE-2022-4129)

  - An incorrect TLB flush issue was found in the Linux kernel's GPU i915 kernel driver, potentially leading     to random memory corruption or data leaks. This flaw could allow a local user to crash the system or     escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-4139)

  - roccat_report_event in drivers/hid/hid-roccat.c in the Linux kernel through 5.19.12 has a race condition     and resultant use-after-free in certain situations where a report is received while copying a     report->value is in progress. (CVE-2022-41850)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A NULL pointer dereference may occur while a slip driver is in     progress to detach in sl_tx_timeout in drivers/net/slip/slip.c. This issue could allow an attacker to     crash the system or leak internal kernel information. (CVE-2022-41858)

  - Guests can trigger deadlock in Linux netback driver T[his CNA information record relates to multiple CVEs;
    the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.] The patch for XSA-392 introduced     another issue which might result in a deadlock when trying to free the SKB of a packet dropped due to the     XSA-392 handling (CVE-2022-42328). Additionally when dropping packages for other reasons the same deadlock     could occur in case of netpoll being active for the interface the xen-netback driver is connected to     (CVE-2022-42329). (CVE-2022-42328, CVE-2022-42329)

  - There is an infoleak vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c's l2cap_parse_conf_req     function which can be used to leak kernel pointers remotely. We recommend upgrading past commit     https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/b1a2cd50c0357f243b7435a732b4e62ba3157a2e     https://www.google.com/url (CVE-2022-42895)

  - There are use-after-free vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel's net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c's l2cap_connect     and l2cap_le_connect_req functions which may allow code execution and leaking kernel memory (respectively)     remotely via Bluetooth. A remote attacker could execute code leaking kernel memory via Bluetooth if within     proximity of the victim. We recommend upgrading past commit https://www.google.com/url     https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/711f8c3fb3db61897080468586b970c87c61d9e4     https://www.google.com/url (CVE-2022-42896)

  - A stack overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SYSCTL subsystem in how a user changes certain     kernel parameters and variables. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their     privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-4378)

  - The Linux kernel NFSD implementation prior to versions 5.19.17 and 6.0.2 are vulnerable to buffer     overflow. NFSD tracks the number of pages held by each NFSD thread by combining the receive and send     buffers of a remote procedure call (RPC) into a single array of pages. A client can force the send buffer     to shrink by sending an RPC message over TCP with garbage data added at the end of the message. The RPC     message with garbage data is still correctly formed according to the specification and is passed forward     to handlers. Vulnerable code in NFSD is not expecting the oversized request and writes beyond the     allocated buffer space. CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H (CVE-2022-43945)

  - A race condition in the x86 KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 6.1-rc6 allows guest OS users to     cause a denial of service (host OS crash or host OS memory corruption) when nested virtualisation and the     TDP MMU are enabled. (CVE-2022-45869)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.9. drivers/char/xillybus/xillyusb.c has a race     condition and use-after-free during physical removal of a USB device. (CVE-2022-45888)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.10. l2cap_config_req in net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c     has an integer wraparound via L2CAP_CONF_REQ packets. (CVE-2022-45934)

The remote openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:4613-1 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The existing KVM SEV API has a vulnerability that allows a non-root     (host) user-level application to crash the host kernel by creating a confidential guest VM instance in AMD     CPU that supports Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV). (CVE-2022-0171) (CVE-2022-2602)

  - A flaw was found in hw. Mis-trained branch predictions for return instructions may allow arbitrary     speculative code execution under certain microarchitecture-dependent conditions. (CVE-2022-23816)     (CVE-2022-28693)

  - A vulnerability has been found in Linux Kernel and classified as problematic. This vulnerability affects     the function inet6_stream_ops/inet6_dgram_ops of the component IPv6 Handler. The manipulation leads to     race condition. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. VDB-211090 is the identifier     assigned to this vulnerability. (CVE-2022-3567)

  - A buffer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel Broadcom Full MAC Wi-Fi driver. This issue occurs     when a user connects to a malicious USB device. This can allow a local user to crash the system or     escalate their privileges. (CVE-2022-3628)

  - A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Linux Kernel. Affected by this issue     is the function tst_timer of the file drivers/atm/idt77252.c of the component IPsec. The manipulation     leads to use after free. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. VDB-211934 is the     identifier assigned to this vulnerability. (CVE-2022-3635)

  - A double-free memory flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The Intel GVT-g graphics driver triggers VGA card     system resource overload, causing a fail in the intel_gvt_dma_map_guest_page function. This issue could     allow a local user to crash the system. (CVE-2022-3707)

  - An incorrect read request flaw was found in the Infrared Transceiver USB driver in the Linux kernel. This     issue occurs when a user attaches a malicious USB device. A local user could use this flaw to starve the     resources, causing denial of service or potentially crashing the system. (CVE-2022-3903)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP). A missing lock when clearing     sk_user_data can lead to a race condition and NULL pointer dereference. A local user could use this flaw     to potentially crash the system causing a denial of service. (CVE-2022-4129)

  - An incorrect TLB flush issue was found in the Linux kernel's GPU i915 kernel driver, potentially leading     to random memory corruption or data leaks. This flaw could allow a local user to crash the system or     escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-4139)

  - roccat_report_event in drivers/hid/hid-roccat.c in the Linux kernel through 5.19.12 has a race condition     and resultant use-after-free in certain situations where a report is received while copying a     report->value is in progress. (CVE-2022-41850)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A NULL pointer dereference may occur while a slip driver is in     progress to detach in sl_tx_timeout in drivers/net/slip/slip.c. This issue could allow an attacker to     crash the system or leak internal kernel information. (CVE-2022-41858)

  - There is an infoleak vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c's l2cap_parse_conf_req     function which can be used to leak kernel pointers remotely. We recommend upgrading past commit     https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/b1a2cd50c0357f243b7435a732b4e62ba3157a2e     https://www.google.com/url (CVE-2022-42895)

  - There are use-after-free vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel's net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c's l2cap_connect     and l2cap_le_connect_req functions which may allow code execution and leaking kernel memory (respectively)     remotely via Bluetooth. A remote attacker could execute code leaking kernel memory via Bluetooth if within     proximity of the victim. We recommend upgrading past commit https://www.google.com/url     https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/711f8c3fb3db61897080468586b970c87c61d9e4     https://www.google.com/url (CVE-2022-42896)

  - A stack overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SYSCTL subsystem in how a user changes certain     kernel parameters and variables. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their     privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-4378)

  - The Linux kernel NFSD implementation prior to versions 5.19.17 and 6.0.2 are vulnerable to buffer     overflow. NFSD tracks the number of pages held by each NFSD thread by combining the receive and send     buffers of a remote procedure call (RPC) into a single array of pages. A client can force the send buffer     to shrink by sending an RPC message over TCP with garbage data added at the end of the message. The RPC     message with garbage data is still correctly formed according to the specification and is passed forward     to handlers. Vulnerable code in NFSD is not expecting the oversized request and writes beyond the     allocated buffer space. CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H (CVE-2022-43945)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.10. l2cap_config_req in net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c     has an integer wraparound via L2CAP_CONF_REQ packets. (CVE-2022-45934)

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

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5884-1 advisory.

    Kirill Tkhai discovered that the XFS file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not calculate size     correctly when pre-allocating space in some situations. A local attacker could use this to expose     sensitive information. (CVE-2021-4155)

    Lee Jones discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the Bluetooth implementation in the     Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-20566)

    Duoming Zhou discovered that a race condition existed in the SLIP driver in the Linux kernel, leading to a     null pointer dereference vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash). (CVE-2022-41858)

    Tams Koczka discovered that the Bluetooth L2CAP implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly     initialize memory in some situations. A physically proximate attacker could possibly use this to expose     sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2022-42895)

    Jos Oliveira and Rodrigo Branco discovered that the prctl syscall implementation in the Linux kernel did     not properly protect against indirect branch prediction attacks in some situations. A local attacker could     possibly use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2023-0045)

    It was discovered that the RNDIS USB driver in the Linux kernel contained an integer overflow     vulnerability. A local attacker with physical access could plug in a malicious USB device to cause a     denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-23559)
