The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6628-1 advisory.

    Quentin Minster discovered that a race condition existed in the KSMBD implementation in the Linux kernel     when handling sessions operations. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-32250, CVE-2023-32252, CVE-2023-32257)

    Marek Marczykowski-Grecki discovered that the Xen event channel infrastructure implementation in the     Linux kernel contained a race condition. An attacker in a guest VM could possibly use this to cause a     denial of service (paravirtualized device unavailability). (CVE-2023-34324)

    Zheng Wang discovered a use-after-free in the Renesas Ethernet AVB driver in the Linux kernel during     device removal. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
    (CVE-2023-35827)

    Tom Dohrmann discovered that the Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) implementation for AMD processors     in the Linux kernel contained a race condition when accessing MMIO registers. A local attacker in a SEV     guest VM could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2023-46813)

    It was discovered that the Microchip USB Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition     during device removal, leading to a use- after-free vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could     use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-6039)

    Lin Ma discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate network     family support while creating a new netfilter table. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-6040)

    It was discovered that the TLS subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly perform cryptographic     operations in some situations, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A local attacker could     use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-6176)

    It was discovered that the CIFS network file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly     validate the server frame size in certain situation, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. An     attacker could use this to construct a malicious CIFS image that, when operated on, could cause a denial     of service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive information. (CVE-2023-6606)

    Xingyuan Mo discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle dynset     expressions passed from userspace, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A local attacker     could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-6622)

    Xingyuan Mo discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle inactive     elements in its PIPAPO data structure, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:0468-1 advisory.

  - Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability in openEuler kernel on Linux (filesystem modules) allows     Forced Integer Overflow.This issue affects openEuler kernel: from 4.19.90 before 4.19.90-2401.3, from     5.10.0-60.18.0 before 5.10.0-183.0.0. (CVE-2021-33631)

  - Transmit requests in Xen's virtual network protocol can consist of multiple parts. While not really     useful, except for the initial part any of them may be of zero length, i.e. carry no data at all. Besides     a certain initial portion of the to be transferred data, these parts are directly translated into what     Linux calls SKB fragments. Such converted request parts can, when for a particular SKB they are all of     length zero, lead to a de-reference of NULL in core networking code. (CVE-2023-46838)

  - The brcm80211 component in the Linux kernel through 6.5.10 has a brcmf_cfg80211_detach use-after-free in     the device unplugging (disconnect the USB by hotplug) code. For physically proximate attackers with local     access, this could be exploited in a real world scenario. This is related to     brcmf_cfg80211_escan_timeout_worker in drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c.
    (CVE-2023-47233)

  - In the Linux kernel before 6.4.5, drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic.c has a use-after-free during a race     condition between a nonblocking atomic commit and a driver unload. (CVE-2023-51043)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.6.8. do_vcc_ioctl in net/atm/ioctl.c has a use-after-     free because of a vcc_recvmsg race condition. (CVE-2023-51780)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.6.8. rose_ioctl in net/rose/af_rose.c has a use-     after-free because of a rose_accept race condition. (CVE-2023-51782)

  - An out-of-bounds access vulnerability involving netfilter was reported and fixed as: f1082dd31fe4     (netfilter: nf_tables: Reject tables of unsupported family); While creating a new netfilter table, lack of     a safeguard against invalid nf_tables family (pf) values within `nf_tables_newtable` function enables an     attacker to achieve out-of-bounds access. (CVE-2023-6040)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the __ext4_remount in fs/ext4/super.c in ext4 in the Linux kernel. This     flaw allows a local user to cause an information leak problem while freeing the old quota file names     before a potential failure, leading to a use-after-free. (CVE-2024-0775)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. The nft_verdict_init() function allows positive values as drop error     within the hook verdict, and hence the nf_hook_slow() function can cause a double free vulnerability when     NF_DROP is issued with a drop error which resembles NF_ACCEPT. We recommend upgrading past commit     f342de4e2f33e0e39165d8639387aa6c19dff660. (CVE-2024-1086)

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 :

  - Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability in openEuler kernel on Linux (filesystem modules) allows     Forced Integer Overflow.This issue affects openEuler kernel: from 4.19.90 before 4.19.90-2401.3, from     5.10.0-60.18.0 before 5.10.0-183.0.0. (CVE-2021-33631)

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/input/input.c in the Linux kernel before 5.17.10. An attacker can cause     a denial of service (panic) because input_set_capability mishandles the situation in which an event code     falls outside of a bitmap. (CVE-2022-48619)

  - In the Linux kernel before 6.4.12, amdgpu_cs_wait_all_fences in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_cs.c has     a fence use-after-free. (CVE-2023-51042)

  - In the Linux kernel before 6.4.5, drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic.c has a use-after-free during a race     condition between a nonblocking atomic commit and a driver unload. (CVE-2023-51043)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: prevent mss overflow in     skb_segment() Once again syzbot is able to crash the kernel in skb_segment() [1] GSO_BY_FRAGS is a     forbidden value, but unfortunately the following computation in skb_segment() can reach it quite easily :
    mss = mss * partial_segs; 65535 = 3 * 5 * 17 * 257, so many initial values of mss can lead to a bad final     result. Make sure to limit segmentation so that the new mss value is smaller than GSO_BY_FRAGS.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: uio: Fix use-after-free in uio_open     core-1 core-2 ------------------------------------------------------- uio_unregister_device uio_open idev     = idr_find() device_unregister(&idev->dev) put_device(&idev->dev) uio_device_release     get_device(&idev->dev) kfree(idev) uio_free_minor(minor) uio_release put_device(&idev->dev) kfree(idev)
    ------------------------------------------------------- In the core-1 uio_unregister_device(), the     device_unregister will kfree idev when the idev->dev kobject ref is 1. But after core-1 device_unregister,     put_device and before doing kfree, the core-2 may get_device. Then: 1. After core-1 kfree idev, the core-2     will do use-after-free for idev. 2. When core-2 do uio_release and put_device, the idev will be double     freed. To address this issue, we can get idev atomic & inc idev reference with minor_lock.
    (CVE-2023-52439)

  - An out-of-bounds access vulnerability involving netfilter was reported and fixed as: f1082dd31fe4     (netfilter: nf_tables: Reject tables of unsupported family); While creating a new netfilter table, lack of     a safeguard against invalid nf_tables family (pf) values within `nf_tables_newtable` function enables an     attacker to achieve out-of-bounds access. (CVE-2023-6040)

  - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel. This issue     may allow a remote attacker to send a crafted TCP packet, triggering a heap-based buffer overflow that     results in kmalloc data being printed and potentially leaked to the kernel ring buffer (dmesg).
    (CVE-2023-6121)

  - A memory leak problem was found in ctnetlink_create_conntrack in net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c in     the Linux Kernel. This issue may allow a local attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges to cause a denial of     service (DoS) attack due to a refcount overflow. (CVE-2023-7192)

  - A vulnerability was found in vhost_new_msg in drivers/vhost/vhost.c in the Linux kernel, which does not     properly initialize memory in messages passed between virtual guests and the host operating system in the     vhost/vhost.c:vhost_new_msg() function. This issue can allow local privileged users to read some kernel     memory contents when reading from the /dev/vhost-net device file. (CVE-2024-0340)

  - An out-of-bounds memory read flaw was found in receive_encrypted_standard in fs/smb/client/smb2ops.c in     the SMB Client sub-component in the Linux Kernel. This issue occurs due to integer underflow on the memcpy     length, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2024-0565)

  - A flaw was found in the Netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel. The issue is in the nft_byteorder_eval()     function, where the code iterates through a loop and writes to the `dst` array. On each iteration, 8 bytes     are written, but `dst` is an array of u32, so each element only has space for 4 bytes. That means every     iteration overwrites part of the previous element corrupting this array of u32. This flaw allows a local     user to cause a denial of service or potentially break NetFilter functionality. (CVE-2024-0607)

  - A denial of service vulnerability due to a deadlock was found in sctp_auto_asconf_init in     net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel's SCTP subsystem. This flaw allows guests with local user privileges     to trigger a deadlock and potentially crash the system. (CVE-2024-0639)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. The nft_verdict_init() function allows positive values as drop error     within the hook verdict, and hence the nf_hook_slow() function can cause a double free vulnerability when     NF_DROP is issued with a drop error which resembles NF_ACCEPT. We recommend upgrading past commit     f342de4e2f33e0e39165d8639387aa6c19dff660. (CVE-2024-1086)

  - When a router encounters an IPv6 packet too big to transmit to the next-hop, it returns an ICMP6 'Packet     Too Big' (PTB) message to the sender. The sender caches this updated Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) so it     knows not to exceed this value when subsequently routing to the same host. (CVE-2023-52340)
