The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3933-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that an information leak vulnerability existed in the Bluetooth implementation of the     Linux kernel. An attacker within Bluetooth range could possibly expose sensitive information (kernel     memory). (CVE-2017-1000410)

    It was discovered that the USB serial device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate baud     rate settings when debugging is enabled. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service     (system crash). (CVE-2017-18360)

    Mathias Payer and Hui Peng discovered a use-after-free vulnerability in the Advanced Linux Sound     Architecture (ALSA) subsystem. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service     (system crash). (CVE-2018-19824)

    Shlomi Oberman, Yuli Shapiro, and Ran Menscher discovered an information leak in the Bluetooth     implementation of the Linux kernel. An attacker within Bluetooth range could use this to expose sensitive     information (kernel memory). (CVE-2019-3459, CVE-2019-3460)

    Jann Horn discovered that the KVM implementation in the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free     vulnerability. An attacker in a guest VM with access to /dev/kvm could use this to cause a denial of     service (guest VM crash). (CVE-2019-6974)

    Felix Wilhelm discovered that an information leak vulnerability existed in the KVM subsystem of the Linux     kernel, when nested virtualization is used. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive     information (host system memory to a guest VM). (CVE-2019-7222)

    Jann Horn discovered that the mmap implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly check for the mmap     minimum address in some situations. A local attacker could use this to assist exploiting a kernel NULL     pointer dereference vulnerability. (CVE-2019-9213)

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.

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 5.11.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-5.11.3 advisory.

  - OpenSLP as used in ESXi and the Horizon DaaS appliances has a heap overwrite issue. VMware has evaluated     the severity of this issue to be in the Critical severity range with a maximum CVSSv3 base score of 9.8.
    (CVE-2019-5544)

  - A heap overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel, all versions 3.x.x and 4.x.x before 4.18.0, in Marvell     WiFi chip driver. The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a system crash, resulting in a     denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. The highest threat with this vulnerability is with the     availability of the system. If code execution occurs, the code will run with the permissions of root. This     will affect both confidentiality and integrity of files on the system. (CVE-2019-14901)

  - In Sudo before 1.8.28, an attacker with access to a Runas ALL sudoer account can bypass certain policy     blacklists and session PAM modules, and can cause incorrect logging, by invoking sudo with a crafted user     ID. For example, this allows bypass of !root configuration, and USER= logging, for a sudo -u     \#$((0xffffffff)) command. (CVE-2019-14287)

  - Empty or malformed p256-ECDH public keys may trigger a segmentation fault due values being improperly     sanitized before being copied into memory and used. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox     < 68, and Thunderbird < 60.8. (CVE-2019-11729)

  - When encrypting with a block cipher, if a call to NSC_EncryptUpdate was made with data smaller than the     block size, a small out of bounds write could occur. This could have caused heap corruption and a     potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 68.3, Firefox ESR < 68.3, and     Firefox < 71. (CVE-2019-11745)

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - A heap data infoleak in multiple locations including L2CAP_PARSE_CONF_RSP was found in the Linux kernel     before 5.1-rc1. (CVE-2019-3460)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

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

  - A malformed SG_IO ioctl issued for a SCSI device in the     Linux kernel leads to a local kernel data leak     manifesting in up to approximately 1000 memory pages     copied to the userspace. The problem has limited scope     as non-privileged users usually have no permissions to     access SCSI device files.(CVE-2018-1000204)

  - A flaw in the load_elf_binary() function in the Linux     kernel allows a local attacker to leak the base address     of .text and stack sections for setuid binaries and     bypass ASLR because install_exec_creds() is called too     late in this function.(CVE-2019-11190)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the     hid_debug_events_read() function in the     drivers/hid/hid-debug.c file. A lack of the certain     checks may allow a privileged user ('root') to achieve     an out-of-bounds write and thus receiving user space     buffer corruption.(CVE-2018-9516)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFS41+     subsystem. NFS41+ shares mounted in different network     namespaces at the same time can make bc_svc_process()     use wrong back-channel IDs and cause a use-after-free     vulnerability. Thus a malicious container user can     cause a host kernel memory corruption and a system     panic. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege     escalation cannot be fully ruled out.(CVE-2018-16884)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     4.19. An information leak in cdrom_ioctl_select_disc in     drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c could be used by local attackers     to read kernel memory because a cast from unsigned long     to int interferes with bounds checking. This is similar     to CVE-2018-10940 and CVE-2018-16658.(CVE-2018-18710)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the function     hso_probe() which reads if_num value from the USB     device (as an u8) and uses it without a length check to     index an array, resulting in an OOB memory read in     hso_probe() or hso_get_config_data(). An attacker with     a forged USB device and physical access to a system     (needed to connect such a device) can cause a system     crash and a denial of service.(CVE-2018-19985)

  - A possible memory corruption due to a type confusion     was found in the Linux kernel in the sk_clone_lock()     function in the net/core/sock.c. The possibility of     local escalation of privileges cannot be fully ruled     out for a local unprivileged attacker.(CVE-2018-9568)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernels implementation of     Logical link control and adaptation protocol (L2CAP),     part of the Bluetooth stack. An attacker with physical     access within the range of standard Bluetooth     transmission can create a specially crafted packet. The     response to this specially crafted packet can contain     part of the kernel stack which can be used in a further     attack.(CVE-2019-3459)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of logical link control and adaptation protocol     (L2CAP), part of the Bluetooth stack in the     l2cap_parse_conf_rsp and l2cap_parse_conf_req     functions. An attacker with physical access within the     range of standard Bluetooth transmission can create a     specially crafted packet. The response to this     specially crafted packet can contain part of the kernel     stack which can be used in a further     attack.(CVE-2019-3460)

  - An information leakage issue was found in the way Linux     kernel's KVM hypervisor handled page fault exceptions     while emulating instructions like VMXON, VMCLEAR,     VMPTRLD, and VMWRITE with memory address as an operand.
    It occurs if the operand is a mmio address, as the     returned exception object holds uninitialized stack     memory contents. A guest user/process could use this     flaw to leak host's stack memory contents to a guest.
    (CVE-2019-7222)

  - A flaw was found in mmap in the Linux kernel allowing     the process to map a null page. This allows attackers     to abuse this mechanism to turn null pointer     dereferences into workable exploits(CVE-2019-9213)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem.
    A local user can cause an out-of-bound write in the     fs/jbd2/transaction.c code, a denial of service, and a     system crash by unmounting a crafted ext4 filesystem     image.(CVE-2018-10882)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     4.18.11. The ipddp_ioctl function in     drivers/net/appletalk/ipddp.c allows local users to     obtain sensitive kernel address information by     leveraging CAP_NET_ADMIN to read the ipddp_route dev     and next fields via an SIOCFINDIPDDPRT ioctl call.
    (CVE-2018-20511)

  - A flaw was found in the implementation of the 'fill     buffer', a mechanism used by modern CPUs when a     cache-miss is made on L1 CPU cache. If an attacker can     generate a load operation that would create a page     fault, the execution will continue speculatively with     incorrect data from the fill buffer while the data is     fetched from higher level caches. This response time     can be measured to infer data in the fill buffer.
    (CVE-2018-12130)

  - Modern Intel microprocessors implement hardware-level     micro-optimizations to improve the performance of     writing data back to CPU caches. The write operation is     split into STA (STore Address) and STD (STore Data)     sub-operations. These sub-operations allow the     processor to hand-off address generation logic into     these sub-operations for optimized writes. Both of     these sub-operations write to a shared distributed     processor structure called the 'processor store     buffer'. As a result, an unprivileged attacker could     use this flaw to read private data resident within the     CPU's processor store buffer. (CVE-2018-12126)

  - Microprocessors use a aEUR~load portaEURtm subcomponent to     perform load operations from memory or IO. During a     load operation, the load port receives data from the     memory or IO subsystem and then provides the data to     the CPU registers and operations in the CPUaEURtms     pipelines. Stale load operations results are stored in     the 'load port' table until overwritten by newer     operations. Certain load-port operations triggered by     an attacker can be used to reveal data about previous     stale requests leaking data back to the attacker via a     timing side-channel. (CVE-2018-12127)

  - Uncacheable memory on some microprocessors utilizing     speculative execution may allow an authenticated user     to potentially enable information disclosure via a side     channel with local access. (CVE-2019-11091)
