  - Bluetooth firmware or operating system software drivers in macOS versions before 10.13, High Sierra and     iOS versions before 11.4, and Android versions before the 2018-06-05 patch may not sufficiently validate     elliptic curve parameters used to generate public keys during a Diffie-Hellman key exchange, which may     allow a remote attacker to obtain the encryption key used by the device. (CVE-2018-5383)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A heap based buffer overflow in mwifiex_uap_parse_tail_ies function     in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/ie.c might lead to memory corruption and possibly other     consequences. (CVE-2019-10126)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when certain central processing units (CPU) speculatively     access memory, aka 'Windows Kernel Information Disclosure Vulnerability'. This CVE ID is unique from     CVE-2019-1071, CVE-2019-1073. (CVE-2019-1125)

  - An issue was discovered in dlpar_parse_cc_property in arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dlpar.c in the Linux     kernel through 5.1.6. There is an unchecked kstrdup of prop->name, which might allow an attacker to cause     a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash). (CVE-2019-12614)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.20.15. The nfc_llcp_build_tlv function in     net/nfc/llcp_commands.c may return NULL. If the caller does not check for this, it will trigger a NULL     pointer dereference. This will cause denial of service. This affects nfc_llcp_build_gb in     net/nfc/llcp_core.c. (CVE-2019-12818)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0. The function __mdiobus_register() in     drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c calls put_device(), which will trigger a fixed_mdio_bus_init use-after-free.
    This will cause a denial of service. (CVE-2019-12819)

  - A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the function nfc_genl_deactivate_target() in net/nfc/netlink.c     in the Linux kernel before 5.1.13 can be triggered by a malicious user-mode program that omits certain NFC     attributes, leading to denial of service. (CVE-2019-12984)

  - In arch/x86/lib/insn-eval.c in the Linux kernel before 5.1.9, there is a use-after-free for access to an     LDT entry because of a race condition between modify_ldt() and a #BR exception for an MPX bounds     violation. (CVE-2019-13233)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.1.17, ptrace_link in kernel/ptrace.c mishandles the recording of the     credentials of a process that wants to create a ptrace relationship, which allows local users to obtain     root access by leveraging certain scenarios with a parent-child process relationship, where a parent drops     privileges and calls execve (potentially allowing control by an attacker). One contributing factor is an     object lifetime issue (which can also cause a panic). Another contributing factor is incorrect marking of     a ptrace relationship as privileged, which is exploitable through (for example) Polkit's pkexec helper     with PTRACE_TRACEME. NOTE: SELinux deny_ptrace might be a usable workaround in some environments.

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A heap based buffer overflow in mwifiex_uap_parse_tail_ies function     in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/ie.c might lead to memory corruption and possibly other     consequences. (CVE-2019-10126)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth implementation of UART, all versions kernel 3.x.x before     4.18.0 and kernel 5.x.x. An attacker with local access and write permissions to the Bluetooth hardware     could use this flaw to issue a specially crafted ioctl function call and cause the system to crash.
    (CVE-2019-10207)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.1.7, a device can be tracked by an attacker using the IP ID values the kernel     produces for connection-less protocols (e.g., UDP and ICMP). When such traffic is sent to multiple     destination IP addresses, it is possible to obtain hash collisions (of indices to the counter array) and     thereby obtain the hashing key (via enumeration). An attack may be conducted by hosting a crafted web page     that uses WebRTC or gQUIC to force UDP traffic to attacker-controlled IP addresses. (CVE-2019-10638)

  - The Linux kernel 4.x (starting from 4.1) and 5.x before 5.0.8 allows Information Exposure (partial kernel     address disclosure), leading to a KASLR bypass. Specifically, it is possible to extract the KASLR kernel     image offset using the IP ID values the kernel produces for connection-less protocols (e.g., UDP and     ICMP). When such traffic is sent to multiple destination IP addresses, it is possible to obtain hash     collisions (of indices to the counter array) and thereby obtain the hashing key (via enumeration). This     key contains enough bits from a kernel address (of a static variable) so when the key is extracted (via     enumeration), the offset of the kernel image is exposed. This attack can be carried out remotely, by the     attacker forcing the target device to send UDP or ICMP (or certain other) traffic to attacker-controlled     IP addresses. Forcing a server to send UDP traffic is trivial if the server is a DNS server. ICMP traffic     is trivial if the server answers ICMP Echo requests (ping). For client targets, if the target visits the     attacker's web page, then WebRTC or gQUIC can be used to force UDP traffic to attacker-controlled IP     addresses. NOTE: this attack against KASLR became viable in 4.1 because IP ID generation was changed to     have a dependency on an address associated with a network namespace. (CVE-2019-10639)

  - Insufficient input validation in Kernel Mode Driver in Intel(R) i915 Graphics for Linux before version 5.0     may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.
    (CVE-2019-11085)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.1-rc5 allows page->_refcount reference count overflow, with resultant use-after-     free issues, if about 140 GiB of RAM exists.

(CVE-2019-11487)

  - The coredump implementation in the Linux kernel before 5.0.10 does not use locking or other mechanisms to     prevent vma layout or vma flags changes while it runs, which allows local users to obtain sensitive     information, cause a denial of service, or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a race     condition with mmget_not_zero or get_task_mm calls. This is related to fs/userfaultfd.c, mm/mmap.c,     fs/proc/task_mmu.c, and drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c. (CVE-2019-11599)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.7. A NULL pointer dereference can occur when     megasas_create_frame_pool() fails in megasas_alloc_cmds() in drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c.
    This causes a Denial of Service, related to a use-after-free. (CVE-2019-11810)

  - An issue was discovered in rds_tcp_kill_sock in net/rds/tcp.c in the Linux kernel before 5.0.8. There is a     race condition leading to a use-after-free, related to net namespace cleanup. (CVE-2019-11815)

  - fs/ext4/extents.c in the Linux kernel through 5.1.2 does not zero out the unused memory region in the     extent tree block, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by reading uninitialized     data in the filesystem. (CVE-2019-11833)

  - The do_hidp_sock_ioctl function in net/bluetooth/hidp/sock.c in the Linux kernel before 5.0.15 allows a     local user to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a HIDPCONNADD command,     because a name field may not end with a '\0' character. (CVE-2019-11884)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.20.15. The nfc_llcp_build_tlv function in     net/nfc/llcp_commands.c may return NULL. If the caller does not check for this, it will trigger a NULL     pointer dereference. This will cause denial of service. This affects nfc_llcp_build_gb in     net/nfc/llcp_core.c. (CVE-2019-12818)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0. The function __mdiobus_register() in     drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c calls put_device(), which will trigger a fixed_mdio_bus_init use-after-free.
    This will cause a denial of service. (CVE-2019-12819)

  - A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the function nfc_genl_deactivate_target() in net/nfc/netlink.c     in the Linux kernel before 5.1.13 can be triggered by a malicious user-mode program that omits certain NFC     attributes, leading to denial of service. (CVE-2019-12984)

  - In arch/x86/lib/insn-eval.c in the Linux kernel before 5.1.9, there is a use-after-free for access to an     LDT entry because of a race condition between modify_ldt() and a #BR exception for an MPX bounds     violation. (CVE-2019-13233)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.1.17, ptrace_link in kernel/ptrace.c mishandles the recording of the     credentials of a process that wants to create a ptrace relationship, which allows local users to obtain     root access by leveraging certain scenarios with a parent-child process relationship, where a parent drops     privileges and calls execve (potentially allowing control by an attacker). One contributing factor is an     object lifetime issue (which can also cause a panic). Another contributing factor is incorrect marking of     a ptrace relationship as privileged, which is exploitable through (for example) Polkit's pkexec helper     with PTRACE_TRACEME.

  - In parse_hid_report_descriptor in drivers/input/tablet/gtco.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.1, a     malicious USB device can send an HID report that triggers an out-of-bounds write during generation of     debugging messages. (CVE-2019-13631)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.2.3, set_geometry in drivers/block/floppy.c does not validate the sect and     head fields, as demonstrated by an integer overflow and out-of-bounds read. It can be triggered by an     unprivileged local user when a floppy disk has been inserted. NOTE: QEMU creates the floppy device by     default. (CVE-2019-14283)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.2.3, drivers/block/floppy.c allows a denial of service by setup_format_params     division-by-zero. Two consecutive ioctls can trigger the bug: the first one should set the drive geometry     with .sect and .rate values that make F_SECT_PER_TRACK be zero. Next, the floppy format operation should     be called. It can be triggered by an unprivileged local user even when a floppy disk has not been     inserted. NOTE: QEMU creates the floppy device by default. (CVE-2019-14284)

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.16.4, a double-locking error in drivers/usb/dwc3/gadget.c may potentially     cause a deadlock with f_hid. (CVE-2019-14763)

  - In em28xx_unregister_dvb of em28xx-dvb.c, there is a possible use after free issue. This could lead to     local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not     needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID: A-111761954References:
    Upstream kernel (CVE-2019-2024)

  - In uvc_parse_standard_control of uvc_driver.c, there is a possible out-of-bound read due to improper input     validation. This could lead to local information disclosure with no additional execution privileges     needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel.
    Android ID: A-111760968. (CVE-2019-2101)

  - An issue was discovered in can_can_gw_rcv in net/can/gw.c in the Linux kernel through 4.19.13. The CAN     frame modification rules allow bitwise logical operations that can be also applied to the can_dlc field.
    The privileged user root with CAP_NET_ADMIN can create a CAN frame modification rule that makes the data     length code a higher value than the available CAN frame data size. In combination with a configured     checksum calculation where the result is stored relatively to the end of the data (e.g. cgw_csum_xor_rel)     the tail of the skb (e.g. frag_list pointer in skb_shared_info) can be rewritten which finally can cause a     system crash. Because of a missing check, the CAN drivers may write arbitrary content beyond the data     registers in the CAN controller's I/O memory when processing can-gw manipulated outgoing frames.
    (CVE-2019-3701)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the function hid_debug_events_read() in drivers/hid/hid-debug.c     file which may enter an infinite loop with certain parameters passed from a userspace. A local privileged     user (root) can cause a system lock up and a denial of service. Versions from v4.18 and newer are     vulnerable. (CVE-2019-3819)

  - A flaw that allowed an attacker to corrupt memory and possibly escalate privileges was found in the     mwifiex kernel module while connecting to a malicious wireless network. (CVE-2019-3846)

  - An infinite loop issue was found in the vhost_net kernel module in Linux Kernel up to and including     v5.1-rc6, while handling incoming packets in handle_rx(). It could occur if one end sends packets faster     than the other end can process them. A guest user, maybe remote one, could use this flaw to stall the     vhost_net kernel thread, resulting in a DoS scenario. (CVE-2019-3900)

  - The Bluetooth BR/EDR specification up to and including version 5.1 permits sufficiently low encryption key     length and does not prevent an attacker from influencing the key length negotiation. This allows practical     brute-force attacks (aka KNOB) that can decrypt traffic and inject arbitrary ciphertext without the     victim noticing. (CVE-2019-9506)

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

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2019-3055 advisory.

  - A flaw that allowed an attacker to corrupt memory and possibly escalate privileges was found in the     mwifiex kernel module while connecting to a malicious wireless network. (CVE-2019-3846)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.18.7. In block/blk-core.c, there is an
    __blk_drain_queue() use-after-free because a certain error case is mishandled. (CVE-2018-20856)

  - The Bluetooth BR/EDR specification up to and including version 5.1 permits sufficiently low encryption key     length and does not prevent an attacker from influencing the key length negotiation. This allows practical     brute-force attacks (aka KNOB) that can decrypt traffic and inject arbitrary ciphertext without the     victim noticing. (CVE-2019-9506)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A heap based buffer overflow in mwifiex_uap_parse_tail_ies function     in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/ie.c might lead to memory corruption and possibly other     consequences. (CVE-2019-10126)

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

The openSUSE Leap 15.1 was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2019-11477: A sequence of SACKs may have been     crafted by a remote attacker such that one can trigger     an integer overflow, leading to a kernel panic.
    (bsc#1137586).

  - CVE-2019-11478: It was possible to send a crafted     sequence of SACKs which would fragment the TCP     retransmission queue. A remote attacker may have been     able to further exploit the fragmented queue to cause an     expensive linked-list walk for subsequent SACKs received     for that same TCP connection. (bsc#1137586)

  - CVE-2019-11479: It was possible to send a crafted     sequence of SACKs which would fragment the RACK send     map. A remote attacker may be able to further exploit     the fragmented send map to cause an expensive     linked-list walk for subsequent SACKs received for that     same TCP connection. This would have resulted in excess     resource consumption due to low mss values.
    (bsc#1137586)

  - CVE-2019-12819: The function __mdiobus_register() in     drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c calls put_device(), which     will trigger a fixed_mdio_bus_init use-after-free. This     will cause a denial of service (bnc#1138291).

  - CVE-2019-12818: The nfc_llcp_build_tlv function in     net/nfc/llcp_commands.c may return NULL. If the caller     did not check for this, it will trigger a NULL pointer     dereference. This will cause denial of service. This     affects nfc_llcp_build_gb in net/nfc/llcp_core.c     (bnc#1138293).

  - CVE-2019-12456: An issue was discovered in the     MPT3COMMAND case in _ctl_ioctl_main in     drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_ctl.c that allowed local     users to cause a denial of service or possibly have     unspecified other impact by changing the value of     ioc_number between two kernel reads of that value, aka a     'double fetch' vulnerability. (bnc#1136922)

  - CVE-2019-12380: An issue was discovered in the efi     subsystem in the Linux kernel     phys_efi_set_virtual_address_map in     arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c and efi_call_phys_prolog in     arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_64.c mishandle memory     allocation failures (bnc#1136598).

  - CVE-2019-3846: A flaw that allowed an attacker to     corrupt memory and possibly escalate privileges was     found in the mwifiex kernel module while connecting to a     malicious wireless network (bnc#1136424).

  - CVE-2019-10124: An attacker could exploit an issue in     the hwpoison implementation to cause a denial of service     (BUG). (bsc#1130699)

  - CVE-2019-12382: In the drm_load_edid_firmware in     drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid_load.c was an unchecked kstrdup     of fwstr, which might allow an attacker to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system     crash) (bnc#1136586).

  - CVE-2019-11487: The Linux kernel allowed page->_refcount     reference count overflow, with resultant use-after-free     issues, if about 140 GiB of RAM exists. This is related     to fs/fuse/dev.c, fs/pipe.c, fs/splice.c,     include/linux/mm.h, include/linux/pipe_fs_i.h,     kernel/trace/trace.c, mm/gup.c, and mm/hugetlb.c. It can     occur with FUSE requests (bnc#1133190).

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks.

  - CVE-2019-3846, CVE-2019-10126     huangwen reported multiple buffer overflows in the     Marvell wifi (mwifiex) driver, which a local user could     use to cause denial of service or the execution of     arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2019-5489     Daniel Gruss, Erik Kraft, Trishita Tiwari, Michael     Schwarz, Ari Trachtenberg, Jason Hennessey, Alex     Ionescu, and Anders Fogh discovered that local users     could use the mincore() system call to obtain sensitive     information from other processes that access the same     memory-mapped file.

  - CVE-2019-9500, CVE-2019-9503     Hugues Anguelkov discovered a buffer overflow and     missing access validation in the Broadcom FullMAC wifi     driver (brcmfmac), which a attacker on the same wifi     network could use to cause denial of service or the     execution of arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2019-11477     Jonathan Looney reported that a specially crafted     sequence of TCP selective acknowledgements (SACKs)     allows a remotely triggerable kernel panic.

  - CVE-2019-11478     Jonathan Looney reported that a specially crafted     sequence of TCP selective acknowledgements (SACKs) will     fragment the TCP retransmission queue, allowing an     attacker to cause excessive resource usage.

  - CVE-2019-11479     Jonathan Looney reported that an attacker could force     the Linux kernel to segment its responses into multiple     TCP segments, each of which contains only 8 bytes of     data, drastically increasing the bandwidth required to     deliver the same amount of data.

  This update introduces a new sysctl value to control the minimal MSS   (net.ipv4.tcp_min_snd_mss), which by default uses the formerly hard   coded value of 48. We recommend raising this to 536 unless you know   that your network requires a lower value.

  - CVE-2019-11486     Jann Horn of Google reported numerous race conditions in     the Siemens R3964 line discipline. A local user could     use these to cause unspecified security impact. This     module has therefore been disabled.

  - CVE-2019-11599     Jann Horn of Google reported a race condition in the     core dump implementation which could lead to a     use-after-free. A local user could use this to read     sensitive information, to cause a denial of service     (memory corruption), or for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2019-11815     It was discovered that a use-after-free in the Reliable     Datagram Sockets protocol could result in denial of     service and potentially privilege escalation. This     protocol module (rds) is not auto loaded on Debian     systems, so this issue only affects systems where it is     explicitly loaded.

  - CVE-2019-11833     It was discovered that the ext4 filesystem     implementation writes uninitialised data from kernel     memory to new extent blocks. A local user able to write     to an ext4 filesystem and then read the filesystem     image, for example using a removable drive, might be     able to use this to obtain sensitive information.

  - CVE-2019-11884     It was discovered that the Bluetooth HIDP implementation     did not ensure that new connection names were     null-terminated. A local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN     capability might be able to use this to obtain sensitive     information from the kernel stack.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:0174 advisory.
