The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:2820-1 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, pick_next_rt_entity() may return a type confused entry, not detected by the BUG_ON     condition, as the confused entry will not be NULL, but list_head.The buggy error condition would lead to a     type confused entry with the list head,which would then be used as a type confused sched_rt_entity,causing     memory corruption. (CVE-2023-1077)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's core dump subsystem. This flaw allows a local user     to crash the system. Only if patch 390031c94211 (coredump: Use the vma snapshot in fill_files_note) not     applied yet, then kernel could be affected. (CVE-2023-1249)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel traffic control index filter (tcindex) can be exploited     to achieve local privilege escalation. The tcindex_delete function which does not properly deactivate     filters in case of a perfect hashes while deleting the underlying structure which can later lead to double     freeing the structure. A local attacker user can use this vulnerability to elevate its privileges to root.
    We recommend upgrading past commit 8c710f75256bb3cf05ac7b1672c82b92c43f3d28. (CVE-2023-1829)

  - In __efi_rt_asm_wrapper of efi-rt-wrapper.S, there is a possible bypass of shadow stack protection due to     a logic error in the code. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution     privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android     kernelAndroid ID: A-260821414References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2023-21102)

  - A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux Kernel ipvlan network driver can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. The out-of-bounds write is caused by missing skb->cb initialization in     the ipvlan network driver. The vulnerability is reachable if CONFIG_IPVLAN is enabled. We recommend     upgrading past commit 90cbed5247439a966b645b34eb0a2e037836ea8e. (CVE-2023-3090)

  - A use after free vulnerability was found in prepare_to_relocate in fs/btrfs/relocation.c in btrfs in the     Linux Kernel. This possible flaw can be triggered by calling btrfs_ioctl_balance() before calling     btrfs_ioctl_defrag(). (CVE-2023-3111)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in r592_remove in drivers/memstick/host/r592.c in media access in the     Linux Kernel. This flaw allows a local attacker to crash the system at device disconnect, possibly leading     to a kernel information leak. (CVE-2023-3141)

  - 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)

  - A NULL pointer dereference issue was found in the gfs2 file system in the Linux kernel. It occurs on     corrupt gfs2 file systems when the evict code tries to reference the journal descriptor structure after it     has been freed and set to NULL. A privileged local user could use this flaw to cause a kernel panic.
    (CVE-2023-3212)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel AMD Sensor Fusion Hub driver. This flaw     allows a local user to crash the system. (CVE-2023-3357)

  - A null pointer dereference was found in the Linux kernel's Integrated Sensor Hub (ISH) driver. This issue     could allow a local user to crash the system. (CVE-2023-3358)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel io_uring subsystem can be exploited to achieve local     privilege escalation. Racing a io_uring cancel poll request with a linked timeout can cause a UAF in a     hrtimer. We recommend upgrading past commit ef7dfac51d8ed961b742218f526bd589f3900a59     (4716c73b188566865bdd79c3a6709696a224ac04 for 5.10 stable and 0e388fce7aec40992eadee654193cad345d62663 for     5.15 stable). (CVE-2023-3389)

  - 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)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.3.2. A use-after-free was found in saa7134_finidev in     drivers/media/pci/saa7134/saa7134-core.c. (CVE-2023-35823)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.3.2. A use-after-free was found in     renesas_usb3_remove in drivers/usb/gadget/udc/renesas_usb3.c. (CVE-2023-35828)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.3.2. A use-after-free was found in rkvdec_remove in     drivers/staging/media/rkvdec/rkvdec.c. (CVE-2023-35829)

    - CVE-2023-35829: Fixed a use-after-free flaw in rkvdec_remove in drivers/staging/media/rkvdec/rkvdec.c     (bsc#1212495).



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.

A use-after-free flaw was found in r592_remove in drivers/memstick/host/r592.c in media access in the Linux Kernel. This flaw allows a local attacker to crash the system at device disconnect, possibly leading to a kernel information leak.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
