The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5173 advisory.

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation,     denial of service or information leaks. CVE-2021-4197 Eric Biederman reported that incorrect permission     checks in the cgroup process migration implementation can allow a local attacker to escalate privileges.
    CVE-2022-0494 The scsi_ioctl() was susceptible to an information leak only exploitable by users with     CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_SYS_RAWIO capabilities. CVE-2022-0812 It was discovered that the RDMA transport for     NFS (xprtrdma) miscalculated the size of message headers, which could lead to a leak of sensitive     information between NFS servers and clients. CVE-2022-0854 Ali Haider discovered a potential information     leak in the DMA subsystem. On systems where the swiotlb feature is needed, this might allow a local user     to read sensitive information. CVE-2022-1011 Jann Horn discovered a flaw in the FUSE (Filesystem in User-     Space) implementation. A local user permitted to mount FUSE filesystems could exploit this to cause a use-     after-free and read sensitive information. CVE-2022-1012, CVE-2022-32296 Moshe Kol, Amit Klein, and Yossi     Gilad discovered a weakness in randomisation of TCP source port selection. CVE-2022-1016 David Bouman     discovered a flaw in the netfilter subsystem where the nft_do_chain function did not initialize register     data that nf_tables expressions can read from and write to. A local attacker can take advantage of this to     read sensitive information. CVE-2022-1048 Hu Jiahui discovered a race condition in the sound subsystem     that can result in a use-after-free. A local user permitted to access a PCM sound device can take     advantage of this flaw to crash the system or potentially for privilege escalation. CVE-2022-1184 A flaw     was discovered in the ext4 filesystem driver which can lead to a use-after-free. A local user permitted to     mount arbitrary filesystems could exploit this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption)     or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2022-1195 Lin Ma discovered race conditions in the 6pack and     mkiss hamradio drivers, which could lead to a use-after-free. A local user could exploit these to cause a     denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2022-1198 Duoming     Zhou discovered a race condition in the 6pack hamradio driver, which could lead to a use-after-free. A     local user could exploit this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for     privilege escalation. CVE-2022-1199, CVE-2022-1204, CVE-2022-1205 Duoming Zhou discovered race conditions     in the AX.25 hamradio protocol, which could lead to a use-after-free or null pointer dereference. A local     user could exploit this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for     privilege escalation. CVE-2022-1353 The TCS Robot tool found an information leak in the PF_KEY subsystem.
    A local user can receive a netlink message when an IPsec daemon registers with the kernel, and this could     include sensitive information. CVE-2022-1419 Minh Yuan discovered a race condition in the vgem virtual GPU     driver that can lead to a use-after-free. A local user permitted to access the GPU device can exploit this     to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.
    CVE-2022-1516 A NULL pointer dereference flaw in the implementation of the X.25 set of standardized     network protocols, which can result in denial of service. This driver is not enabled in Debian's official     kernel configurations. CVE-2022-1652 Minh Yuan discovered a race condition in the floppy driver that can     lead to a use-after-free. A local user permitted to access a floppy drive device can exploit this to cause     a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2022-1729     Norbert Slusarek discovered a race condition in the perf subsystem which could result in local privilege     escalation to root. The default settings in Debian prevent exploitation unless more permissive settings     have been applied in the kernel.perf_event_paranoid sysctl. CVE-2022-1734 Duoming Zhou discovered race     conditions in the nfcmrvl NFC driver that could lead to a use-after-free, double-free or null pointer     dereference. A local user might be able to exploit these for denial of service (crash or memory     corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation. This driver is not enabled in Debian's official kernel     configurations. CVE-2022-1974, CVE-2022-1975 Duoming Zhou discovered that the NFC netlink interface was     suspectible to denial of service. CVE-2022-2153 kangel reported a flaw in the KVM implementation for x86     processors which could lead to a null pointer dereference. A local user permitted to access /dev/kvm could     exploit this to cause a denial of service (crash). CVE-2022-21123, CVE-2022-21125, CVE-2022-21166 Various     researchers discovered flaws in Intel x86 processors, collectively referred to as MMIO Stale Data     vulnerabilities. These are similar to the previously published Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS)     issues and could be exploited by local users to leak sensitive information. For some CPUs, the mitigations     for these issues require updated microcode. An updated intel-microcode package may be provided at a later     date. The updated CPU microcode may also be available as part of a system firmware (BIOS) update.
    Further information on the mitigation can be found at https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-     guide/hw-vuln/processor_mmio_stale_data.html or in the linux-doc-4.19 package. CVE-2022-23960 Researchers     at VUSec discovered that the Branch History Buffer in Arm processors can be exploited to create     information side channels with speculative execution. This issue is similar to Spectre variant 2, but     requires additional mitigations on some processors. This was previously mitigated for 32-bit Arm (armel     and armhf) architectures and is now also mitigated for 64-bit Arm (arm64). This can be exploited to obtain     sensitive information from a different security context, such as from user-space to the kernel, or from a     KVM guest to the kernel. CVE-2022-26490 Buffer overflows in the STMicroelectronics ST21NFCA core driver     can result in denial of service or privilege escalation. This driver is not enabled in Debian's official     kernel configurations. CVE-2022-27666 valis reported a possible buffer overflow in the IPsec ESP     transformation code. A local user can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service or for     privilege escalation. CVE-2022-28356 Beraphin discovered that the ANSI/IEEE 802.2 LLC type 2 driver did     not properly perform reference counting on some error paths. A local attacker can take advantage of this     flaw to cause a denial of service. CVE-2022-28388 A double free vulnerability was discovered in the 8     devices USB2CAN interface driver. CVE-2022-28389 A double free vulnerability was discovered in the     Microchip CAN BUS Analyzer interface driver. CVE-2022-28390 A double free vulnerability was discovered in     the EMS CPC-USB/ARM7 CAN/USB interface driver. CVE-2022-29581 Kyle Zeng discovered a reference-counting     bug in the cls_u32 network classifier which can lead to a use-after-free. A local user can exploit this to     cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.
    CVE-2022-30594 Jann Horn discovered a flaw in the interaction between ptrace and seccomp subsystems. A     process sandboxed using seccomp() but still permitted to use ptrace() could exploit this to remove the     seccomp restrictions. CVE-2022-32250 Aaron Adams discovered a use-after-free in Netfilter which may result     in local privilege escalation to root. CVE-2022-33981 Yuan Ming from Tsinghua University reported a race     condition in the floppy driver involving use of the FDRAWCMD ioctl, which could lead to a use-after-free.
    A local user with access to a floppy drive device could exploit this to cause a denial of service (crash     or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation. This ioctl is now disabled by default. For the     oldstable distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed in version 4.19.249-2. Due to an issue in     the signing service (Cf. Debian bug #1012741), the vport-vxlan module cannot be loaded for the signed     kernel for amd64 in this update. This update also corrects a regression in the network scheduler subsystem     (bug #1013299). For the 32-bit Arm (armel and armhf) architectures, this update enables optimised     implementations of several cryptographic and CRC algorithms. For at least AES, this should remove a timing     sidechannel that could lead to a leak of sensitive information. This update includes many more bug fixes     from stable updates 4.19.236-4.19.249 inclusive, including for bug #1006346. The random driver has been     backported from Linux 5.19, fixing numerous performance and correctness issues. Some changes will be     visible: The entropy pool size is now 256 bits instead of 4096. You may need to adjust the configuration     of system monitoring or user-space entropy gathering services to allow for this. On systems without a     hardware RNG, the kernel may log more uses of /dev/urandom before it is fully initialised. These uses were     previously under-counted and this is not a regression. We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.
