The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 23.04 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6502-4 advisory.

    Ivan D Barrera, Christopher Bednarz, Mustafa Ismail, and Shiraz Saleem discovered that the InfiniBand RDMA     driver in the Linux kernel did not properly check for zero-length STAG or MR registration. A remote     attacker could possibly use this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-25775)

    Yu Hao discovered that the UBI driver in the Linux kernel did not properly check for MTD with zero     erasesize during device attachment. A local privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service (system crash). (CVE-2023-31085)

    Manfred Rudigier discovered that the Intel(R) PCI-Express Gigabit (igb) Ethernet driver in the Linux     kernel did not properly validate received frames that are larger than the set MTU size, leading to a     buffer overflow vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or     possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-45871)

    Maxim Levitsky discovered that the KVM nested virtualization (SVM) implementation for AMD processors in     the Linux kernel did not properly handle x2AVIC MSRs. An attacker in a guest VM could use this to cause a     denial of service (host kernel crash). (CVE-2023-5090)

    It was discovered that the SMB network file sharing protocol implementation in the Linux kernel did not     properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker     could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2023-5345)

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues 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 :

    Improper access control in the Intel(R) Ethernet Controller RDMA driver for linux before version 1.9.30     may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via network     access.(CVE-2023-25775)

    A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in vmxnet3_rq_cleanup in drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_drv.c in     the networking sub-component in vmxnet3 in the Linux Kernel. This issue may allow a local attacker with     normal user privilege to cause a denial of service due to a missing sanity check during     cleanup.(CVE-2023-4459)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in vmxnet3_rq_alloc_rx_buf in drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_drv.c in     VMware's vmxnet3 ethernet NIC driver in the Linux Kernel. This issue could allow a local attacker to crash     the system due to a double-free while cleaning up vmxnet3_rq_cleanup_all, which could also lead to a     kernel information leak problem.(CVE-2023-4387)

    A flaw was found in the exFAT driver of the Linux kernel. The vulnerability exists in the implementation     of the file name reconstruction function, which is responsible for reading file name entries from a     directory index and merging file name parts belonging to one file into a single long file name. Since the     file name characters are copied into a stack variable, a local privileged attacker could use this flaw to     overflow the kernel stack.(CVE-2023-4273)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in net/sched/cls_fw.c in classifiers (cls_fw, cls_u32, and cls_route) in     the Linux Kernel. This flaw allows a local attacker to perform a local privilege escalation due to     incorrect handling of the existing filter, leading to a kernel information leak issue.(CVE-2023-4128)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TUN/TAP functionality. This issue could allow a local user to     bypass network filters and gain unauthorized access to some resources. The original patches fixing     CVE-2023-1076 are incorrect or incomplete. The problem is that the following upstream commits -     a096ccca6e50 ('tun: tun_chr_open(): correctly initialize socket uid'), - 66b2c338adce ('tap: tap_open():
    correctly initialize socket uid'), pass 'inode-i_uid' to sock_init_data_uid() as the last parameter and     that turns out to not be accurate.(CVE-2023-4194)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernels Netfilter functionality when adding a rule with     NFTA_RULE_CHAIN_ID. This flaw allows a local user to crash or escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2023-4147)

    A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the siano smsusb module in the Linux kernel. The bug occurs     during device initialization when the siano device is plugged in. This flaw allows a local user to crash     the system, causing a denial of service condition.(CVE-2023-4132)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter in the way a user triggers the     nft_pipapo_remove function with the element, without a NFT_SET_EXT_KEY_END. This issue could allow a local     user to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.(CVE-2023-4004)

    A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the cxgb4 driver in the Linux kernel. The bug occurs when the     cxgb4 device is detaching due to a possible rearming of the flower_stats_timer from the work queue. This     flaw allows a local user to crash the system, causing a denial of service condition.(CVE-2023-4133)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernels IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem). This     issue may allow a malicious user with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges to directly dereference a NULL pointer in     xfrm_update_ae_params(), leading to a possible kernel crash and denial of service.(CVE-2023-3772)

    A hash collision flaw was found in the IPv6 connection lookup table in the Linux kernels IPv6     functionality when a user makes a new kind of SYN flood attack. A user located in the local network or     with a high bandwidth connection can increase the CPU usage of the server that accepts IPV6 connections up     to 95%.(CVE-2023-1206)

The remote CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:2004 advisory.

  - A race condition in the Linux kernel before 5.5.7 involving VT_RESIZEX could lead to a NULL pointer     dereference and general protection fault. (CVE-2020-36558)

  - A vulnerability was found in the HCI sockets implementation due to a missing capability check in     net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c in the Linux Kernel. This flaw allows an attacker to unauthorized execution of     management commands, compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Bluetooth     communication. (CVE-2023-2002)

  - Improper access control in the Intel(R) Ethernet Controller RDMA driver for linux before version 1.9.30     may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via network access.
    (CVE-2023-25775)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's af_unix component can be exploited to achieve local     privilege escalation. The unix_stream_sendpage() function tries to add data to the last skb in the peer's     recv queue without locking the queue. Thus there is a race where unix_stream_sendpage() could access an     skb locklessly that is being released by garbage collection, resulting in use-after-free. We recommend     upgrading past commit 790c2f9d15b594350ae9bca7b236f2b1859de02c. (CVE-2023-4622)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_hfsc (HFSC qdisc traffic control)     component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. If a class with a link-sharing curve     (i.e. with the HFSC_FSC flag set) has a parent without a link-sharing curve, then init_vf() will call     vttree_insert() on the parent, but vttree_remove() will be skipped in update_vf(). This leaves a dangling     pointer that can cause a use-after-free. We recommend upgrading past commit     b3d26c5702c7d6c45456326e56d2ccf3f103e60f. (CVE-2023-4623)

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