The CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare CENTOS7:CLSA-2024:1727692412 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: fix mc_data out-of-bounds     read warning Clear warning that read mc_data[i-1] may out-of-bounds. (CVE-2024-46722)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: fix ucode out-of-bounds     read warning Clear warning that read ucode[] may out-of-bounds. (CVE-2024-46723)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: Fix out-of-bounds read of     df_v1_7_channel_number Check the fb_channel_number range to avoid the array out-of-bounds read error     (CVE-2024-46724)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: VMCI: Fix use-after-free when removing     resource in vmci_resource_remove() When removing a resource from vmci_resource_table in     vmci_resource_remove(), the search is performed using the resource handle by comparing context and     resource fields. It is possible though to create two resources with different types but same handle (same     context and resource fields). When trying to remove one of the resources, vmci_resource_remove() may not     remove the intended one, but the object will still be freed as in the case of the datagram type in     vmci_datagram_destroy_handle(). vmci_resource_table will still hold a pointer to this freed resource     leading to a use-after-free vulnerability.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sch/netem: fix use after free in     netem_dequeue If netem_dequeue() enqueues packet to inner qdisc and that qdisc returns __NET_XMIT_STOLEN.
    The packet is dropped but qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() is not called to update the parent's q.qlen, leading     to the similar use-after-free as Commit e04991a48dbaf382 (netem: fix return value if duplicate enqueue     fails) Commands to trigger KASAN UaF: ip link add type dummy ip link set lo up ip link set dummy0 up tc     qdisc add dev lo parent root handle 1: drr tc filter add dev lo parent 1: basic classid 1:1 tc class add     dev lo classid 1:1 drr tc qdisc add dev lo parent 1:1 handle 2: netem tc qdisc add dev lo parent 2: handle     3: drr tc filter add dev lo parent 3: basic classid 3:1 action mirred egress redirect dev dummy0 tc class     add dev lo classid 3:1 drr ping -c1 -W0.01 localhost # Trigger bug tc class del dev lo classid 1:1 tc     class add dev lo classid 1:1 drr ping -c1 -W0.01 localhost # UaF (CVE-2024-46800)

  - A flaw was found in the filelock_init in fs/locks.c function in the Linux kernel. This issue can lead to     host memory exhaustion due to memcg not limiting the number of Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX)     file locks. (CVE-2022-0480)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel. It has been declared as problematic. Affected by this     vulnerability is the function intr_callback of the file drivers/net/usb/r8152.c of the component BPF. The     manipulation leads to logging of excessive data. The attack can be launched remotely. It is recommended to     apply a patch to fix this issue. The associated identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-211363.
    (CVE-2022-3594)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vt_ioctl: fix array_index_nospec in     vt_setactivate array_index_nospec ensures that an out-of-bounds value is set to zero on the transient     path. Decreasing the value by one afterwards causes a transient integer underflow. vsa.console should be     decreased first and then sanitized with array_index_nospec.

    (CVE-2022-48804)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel. The tls_is_tx_ready() incorrectly checks for list emptiness,     potentially accessing a type confused entry to the list_head, leaking the last byte of the confused field     that overlaps with rec->tx_ready. (CVE-2023-1075)

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.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: Fix out-of-bounds read of     df_v1_7_channel_number Check the fb_channel_number range to avoid the array out-of-bounds read error     (CVE-2024-46724)

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