The CentOS Linux 8.5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare CENTOS8.5:CLSA-2023:1686651204 advisory.

  - A flaw in the processing of received ICMP errors (ICMP fragment needed and ICMP redirect) in the Linux     kernel functionality was found to allow the ability to quickly scan open UDP ports. This flaw allows an     off-path remote user to effectively bypass the source port UDP randomization. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to confidentiality and possibly integrity, because software that relies on UDP source     port randomization are indirectly affected as well. (CVE-2021-20322)

  - When sending malicous data to kernel by ioctl cmd FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO,kernel will write memory out of     bounds. (CVE-2021-33655)

  - When setting font with malicous data by ioctl cmd PIO_FONT,kernel will write memory out of bounds.
    (CVE-2021-33656)

  - A flaw in the Linux kernel's implementation of RDMA communications manager listener code allowed an     attacker with local access to setup a socket to listen on a high port allowing for a list element to be     used after free. Given the ability to execute code, a local attacker could leverage this use-after-free to     crash the system or possibly escalate privileges on the system. (CVE-2021-4028)

  - An unprivileged write to the file handler flaw in the Linux kernel's control groups and namespaces     subsystem was found in the way users have access to some less privileged process that are controlled by     cgroups and have higher privileged parent process. It is actually both for cgroup2 and cgroup1 versions of     control groups. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the     system. (CVE-2021-4197)

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

The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALINUX3-SA-2023:0048 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2022-47929:
    In the Linux kernel before 6.1.6, a NULL pointer dereference bug in the traffic control subsystem allows     an unprivileged user to trigger a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted traffic control     configuration that is set up with tc qdisc and tc class commands. This affects qdisc_graft in     net/sched/sch_api.c.

    CVE-2023-0386:
    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, where unauthorized access to the execution of the setuid file with     capabilities was found in the Linux kernels OverlayFS subsystem in how a user copies a capable file     from a nosuid mount into another mount. This uid mapping bug allows a local user to escalate their     privileges on the system.

    CVE-2023-1075:
    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-2023-1380:
    A slab-out-of-bound read problem was found in brcmf_get_assoc_ies in     drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c in the Linux Kernel. This issue could occur     when assoc_info->req_len data is bigger than the size of the buffer, defined as WL_EXTRA_BUF_MAX, leading     to a denial of service.

    CVE-2023-26545:
    In the Linux kernel before 6.1.13, there is a double free in net/mpls/af_mpls.c upon an allocation failure     (for registering the sysctl table under a new location) during the renaming of a device.

    CVE-2023-28466:
    do_tls_getsockopt in net/tls/tls_main.c in the Linux kernel through 6.2.6 lacks a lock_sock call, leading     to a race condition (with a resultant use-after-free or NULL pointer dereference).

    CVE-2023-30456:
    An issue was discovered in arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.c in the Linux kernel before 6.2.8. nVMX on x86_64     lacks consistency checks for CR0 and CR4.

    CVE-2023-32233:
    In the Linux kernel through 6.3.1, a use-after-free in Netfilter nf_tables when processing batch requests     can be abused to perform arbitrary read and write operations on kernel memory. Unprivileged local users     can obtain root privileges. This occurs because anonymous sets are mishandled.

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1743193221 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: asix: fix uninit-value in     asix_mdio_read() asix_read_cmd() may read less than sizeof(smsr) bytes and in this case smsr will be     uninitialized. Fail log: BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in asix_check_host_enable     drivers/net/usb/asix_common.c:82 [inline] BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in asix_check_host_enable     drivers/net/usb/asix_common.c:82 [inline] drivers/net/usb/asix_common.c:497 BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in     asix_mdio_read+0x3c1/0xb00 drivers/net/usb/asix_common.c:497 drivers/net/usb/asix_common.c:497     asix_check_host_enable drivers/net/usb/asix_common.c:82 [inline] asix_check_host_enable     drivers/net/usb/asix_common.c:82 [inline] drivers/net/usb/asix_common.c:497 asix_mdio_read+0x3c1/0xb00     drivers/net/usb/asix_common.c:497 drivers/net/usb/asix_common.c:497 (CVE-2021-47101)

  - 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)

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6130-1 advisory.

    Patryk Sondej and Piotr Krysiuk discovered that a race condition existed in the netfilter subsystem of the     Linux kernel when processing batch requests, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker     could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2023-32233)

    Gwangun Jung discovered that the Quick Fair Queueing scheduler implementation in the Linux kernel     contained an out-of-bounds write vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-31436)

    Reima Ishii discovered that the nested KVM implementation for Intel x86 processors in the Linux kernel did     not properly validate control registers in certain situations. An attacker in a guest VM could use this to     cause a denial of service (guest crash). (CVE-2023-30456)

    It was discovered that the Broadcom FullMAC USB WiFi driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform     data buffer size validation in some situations. A physically proximate attacker could use this to craft a     malicious USB device that when inserted, could cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly expose     sensitive information. (CVE-2023-1380)
