The remote SUSE Linux SLES11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2020:14442-1 advisory.

  - An exploitable denial-of-service vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel prior to mainline 5.3. An     attacker could exploit this vulnerability by triggering AP to send IAPP location updates for stations     before the required authentication process has completed. This could lead to different denial-of-service     scenarios, either by causing CAM table attacks, or by leading to traffic flapping if faking already     existing clients in other nearby APs of the same wireless infrastructure. An attacker can forge     Authentication and Association Request packets to trigger this vulnerability. (CVE-2019-5108)

  - In cdev_get of char_dev.c, there is a possible use-after-free due to a race condition. This could lead to     local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android-10Android ID: A-153467744 (CVE-2020-0305)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of Userspace core dumps. This flaw allows an     attacker with a local account to crash a trivial program and exfiltrate private kernel data.
    (CVE-2020-10732)

  - A buffer over-read flaw was found in RH kernel versions before 5.0 in crypto_authenc_extractkeys in     crypto/authenc.c in the IPsec Cryptographic algorithm's module, authenc. When a payload longer than 4     bytes, and is not following 4-byte alignment boundary guidelines, it causes a buffer over-read threat,     leading to a system crash. This flaw allows a local attacker with user privileges to cause a denial of     service. (CVE-2020-10769)

  - A stack information leak flaw was found in s390/s390x in the Linux kernels memory manager functionality,     where it incorrectly writes to the /proc/sys/vm/cmm_timeout file. This flaw allows a local user to see the     kernel data. (CVE-2020-10773)

  - The __mptctl_ioctl function in drivers/message/fusion/mptctl.c in the Linux kernel before 5.4.14 allows     local users to hold an incorrect lock during the ioctl operation and trigger a race condition, i.e., a     double fetch vulnerability, aka CID-28d76df18f0a. NOTE: the vendor states The security impact of this     bug is not as bad as it could have been because these operations are all privileged and root already has     enormous destructive power. (CVE-2020-12652)

  - ** DISPUTED ** gss_mech_free in net/sunrpc/auth_gss/gss_mech_switch.c in the rpcsec_gss_krb5     implementation in the Linux kernel through 5.6.10 lacks certain domain_release calls, leading to a memory     leak. Note: This was disputed with the assertion that the issue does not grant any access not already     available. It is a problem that on unloading a specific kernel module some memory is leaked, but loading     kernel modules is a privileged operation. A user could also write a kernel module to consume any amount of     memory they like and load that replicating the effect of this bug. (CVE-2020-12656)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 4.4 through 5.7.1. drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c has an integer     overflow if k_ascii is called several times in a row, aka CID-b86dab054059. NOTE: Members in the community     argue that the integer overflow does not lead to a security issue in this case. (CVE-2020-13974)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.4.16, a race condition in tty->disc_data handling in the slip and slcan line     discipline could lead to a use-after-free, aka CID-0ace17d56824. This affects drivers/net/slip/slip.c and     drivers/net/can/slcan.c. (CVE-2020-14416)

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

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.2.3. An out of bounds access exists in the function     hclge_tm_schd_mode_vnet_base_cfg in the file drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hns3/hns3pf/hclge_tm.c.
    (CVE-2019-15925)

  - A memory leak in the ccp_run_sha_cmd() function in drivers/crypto/ccp/ccp-ops.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.3.9 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption), aka CID-128c66429247.
    (CVE-2019-18808)

  - ** DISPUTED ** A memory leak in the __ipmi_bmc_register() function in drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c     in the Linux kernel through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by     triggering ida_simple_get() failure, aka CID-4aa7afb0ee20. NOTE: third parties dispute the relevance of     this because an attacker cannot realistically control this failure at probe time. (CVE-2019-19046)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.2, a setxattr operation, after a mount of a crafted ext4 image, can cause a     slab-out-of-bounds write access because of an ext4_xattr_set_entry use-after-free in fs/ext4/xattr.c when     a large old_size value is used in a memset call, aka CID-345c0dbf3a30. (CVE-2019-19319)

  - An out-of-bounds memory write issue was found in the Linux Kernel, version 3.13 through 5.4, in the way     the Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor handled the 'KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID' ioctl(2) request to get CPUID     features emulated by the KVM hypervisor. A user or process able to access the '/dev/kvm' device could use     this flaw to crash the system, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2019-19332)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.3.12, there is a use-after-free bug that can be caused by a malicious USB     device in the drivers/input/ff-memless.c driver, aka CID-fa3a5a1880c9. (CVE-2019-19524)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.2.10, there is a race condition bug that can be caused by a malicious USB     device in the USB character device driver layer, aka CID-303911cfc5b9. This affects     drivers/usb/core/file.c. (CVE-2019-19537)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.1.6, there is a use-after-free in serial_ir_init_module() in     drivers/media/rc/serial_ir.c. (CVE-2019-19543)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.4.12, drivers/input/input.c has out-of-bounds writes via a crafted keycode     table, as demonstrated by input_set_keycode, aka CID-cb222aed03d7. (CVE-2019-20636)

  - In the Android kernel in the video driver there is a use after free due to a race condition. This could     lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is     not needed for exploitation. (CVE-2019-9458)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of Userspace core dumps. This flaw allows an     attacker with a local account to crash a trivial program and exfiltrate private kernel data.
    (CVE-2020-10732)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernels SELinux LSM hook implementation before version 5.7, where it     incorrectly assumed that an skb would only contain a single netlink message. The hook would incorrectly     only validate the first netlink message in the skb and allow or deny the rest of the messages within the     skb with the granted permission without further processing. (CVE-2020-10751)

  - ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.6.2. mpol_parse_str in mm/mempolicy.c     has a stack-based out-of-bounds write because an empty nodelist is mishandled during mount option parsing,     aka CID-aa9f7d5172fa. NOTE: Someone in the security community disagrees that this is a vulnerability     because the issue is a bug in parsing mount options which can only be specified by a privileged user, so     triggering the bug does not grant any powers not already held.. (CVE-2020-11565)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.6.1, drivers/media/usb/gspca/xirlink_cit.c (aka the Xirlink camera USB     driver) mishandles invalid descriptors, aka CID-a246b4d54770. (CVE-2020-11668)

  - Improper input validation in BlueZ may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation of     privilege via adjacent access. (CVE-2020-12351)

  - Improper access control in BlueZ may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable information     disclosure via adjacent access. (CVE-2020-12352)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.6.7. xdp_umem_reg in net/xdp/xdp_umem.c has an out-     of-bounds write (by a user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability) because of a lack of headroom validation.
    (CVE-2020-12659)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.6.11. sg_write lacks an sg_remove_request call in a     certain failure case, aka CID-83c6f2390040. (CVE-2020-12770)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernels implementation of the invert video code on VGA consoles when a     local attacker attempts to resize the console, calling an ioctl VT_RESIZE, which causes an out-of-bounds     write to occur. This flaw allows a local user with access to the VGA console to crash the system,     potentially escalating their privileges on the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to     data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-14331)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel before 5.9-rc4. Memory corruption can be exploited to gain root     privileges from unprivileged processes. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2020-14386)

  - There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel through 5.5.2 in the vc_do_resize function in     drivers/tty/vt/vt.c. (CVE-2020-8647)

  - There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel through 5.5.2 in the n_tty_receive_buf_common     function in drivers/tty/n_tty.c. (CVE-2020-8648)

  - There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel through 5.5.2 in the vgacon_invert_region     function in drivers/video/console/vgacon.c. (CVE-2020-8649)
