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

    An out of bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel in relay_file_read_start_pos in     kernel/relay.c in the relayfs. This flaw could allow a local attacker to crash the system or leak kernel     internal information.(CVE-2023-3268)

    An issue was discovered in fl_set_geneve_opt in net/sched/cls_flower.c in the Linux kernel before 6.3.7.
    It allows an out-of-bounds write in the flower classifier code via TCA_FLOWER_KEY_ENC_OPTS_GENEVE packets.
    This may result in denial of service or privilege escalation.(CVE-2023-35788)

    A flaw was found in the Framebuffer Console (fbcon) in the Linux Kernel. When providing font-width and     font-height greater than 32 to fbcon_set_font, since there are no checks in place, a shift-out-of-     bounds occurs leading to undefined behavior and possible denial of service.(CVE-2023-3161)

    The Linux kernel before 6.2.9 has a race condition and resultant use-after-free in     drivers/net/ethernet/qualcomm/emac/emac.c if a physically proximate attacker unplugs an emac based     device.(CVE-2023-33203)

    ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.3.3. There is an out-of-bounds read in     crc16 in lib/crc16.c when called from fs/ext4/super.c because ext4_group_desc_csum does not properly check     an offset. NOTE: this is disputed by third parties because the kernel is not intended to defend against     attackers with the stated 'When modifying the block device while it is mounted by the filesystem'     access.(CVE-2023-34256)

    An issue was discovered in netfilter in the Linux kernel before 5.10. There can be a use-after-free in the     packet processing context, because the per-CPU sequence count is mishandled during concurrent iptables     rules replacement. This could be exploited with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability in an unprivileged namespace.
    NOTE: cc00bca was reverted in 5.12.(CVE-2020-36694)

    In the Linux kernel through 6.3.1, a use-after-free in Netfilter nf_tables when processing batch requests     can be abused to perform arbitrary read and write operations on kernel memory. Unprivileged local users     can obtain root privileges. This occurs because anonymous sets are mishandled.(CVE-2023-32233)

    A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in rawv6_push_pending_frames in net/ipv6/raw.c in the network     subcomponent in the Linux kernel. This flaw causes the system to crash.(CVE-2023-0394)

    A speculative pointer dereference problem exists in the Linux Kernel on the do_prlimit() function. The     resource argument value is controlled and is used in pointer arithmetic for the 'rlim' variable and can be     used to leak the contents. We recommend upgrading past version 6.1.8 or     commit739790605705ddcf18f21782b9c99ad7d53a8c11(CVE-2023-0458)

    ** REJECT ** This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority because it was the     duplicate of CVE-2023-31436.(CVE-2023-2248)

    ** REJECT ** DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: CVE-2023-33203. Reason: This candidate is a     reservation duplicate of CVE-2023-33203. Notes: All CVE users should reference CVE-2023-33203 instead of     this candidate. All references and descriptions in this candidate have been removed to prevent accidental     usage.(CVE-2023-2483)

    qfq_change_class in net/sched/sch_qfq.c in the Linux kernel before 6.2.13 allows an out-of-bounds write     because lmax can exceed QFQ_MIN_LMAX.(CVE-2023-31436)

    A use-after-free vulnerability was found in iscsi_sw_tcp_session_create in drivers/scsi/iscsi_tcp.c in     SCSI sub-component in the Linux Kernel. In this flaw an attacker could leak kernel internal     information.(CVE-2023-2162)

    A null pointer dereference issue was found in the sctp network protocol in net/sctp/stream_sched.c in     Linux Kernel. If stream_in allocation is failed, stream_out is freed which would further be accessed. A     local user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially cause a denial of     service.(CVE-2023-2177)

    A denial of service problem was found, due to a possible recursive locking scenario, resulting in a     deadlock in table_clear in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c in the Linux Kernel Device Mapper-Multipathing sub-     component.(CVE-2023-2269)
