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

  - The netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.15.7 mishandles the case of a rule blob that     contains a jump but lacks a user-defined chain, which allows local users to cause a denial of service     (NULL pointer dereference) by leveraging the CAP_NET_RAW or CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, related to     arpt_do_table in net/ipv4/netfilter/arp_tables.c, ipt_do_table in net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c, and     ip6t_do_table in net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6_tables.c. (CVE-2018-1065)

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2018:2948 advisory.

    The kernel-alt packages provide the Linux kernel version 4.x.

    Security Fix(es):

    * An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern microprocessor designs have implemented     speculative execution of Load & Store instructions (a commonly used performance optimization). It relies     on the presence of a precisely-defined instruction sequence in the privileged code as well as the fact     that memory read from address to which a recent memory write has occurred may see an older value and     subsequently cause an update into the microprocessor's data cache even for speculatively executed     instructions that never actually commit (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker could use this     flaw to read privileged memory by conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks. (CVE-2018-3639, aarch64)

    * A flaw named SegmentSmack was found in the way the Linux kernel handled specially crafted TCP packets. A     remote attacker could use this flaw to trigger time and calculation expensive calls to     tcp_collapse_ofo_queue() and tcp_prune_ofo_queue() functions by sending specially modified packets within     ongoing TCP sessions which could lead to a CPU saturation and hence a denial of service on the system.
    Maintaining the denial of service condition requires continuous two-way TCP sessions to a reachable open     port, thus the attacks cannot be performed using spoofed IP addresses. (CVE-2018-5390)

    * A flaw named FragmentSmack was found in the way the Linux kernel handled reassembly of fragmented IPv4     and IPv6 packets. A remote attacker could use this flaw to trigger time and calculation expensive fragment     reassembly algorithm by sending specially crafted packets which could lead to a CPU saturation and hence a     denial of service on the system. (CVE-2018-5391)

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP3 kernel was updated to 4.4.131 to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2018-3639: Information leaks using 'Memory     Disambiguation' feature in modern CPUs were mitigated,     aka 'Spectre Variant 4' (bnc#1087082). A new boot     commandline option was introduced,     'spec_store_bypass_disable', which can have following     values :

  - auto: Kernel detects whether your CPU model contains an     implementation of Speculative Store Bypass and picks the     most appropriate mitigation.

  - on: disable Speculative Store Bypass

  - off: enable Speculative Store Bypass

  - prctl: Control Speculative Store Bypass per thread via     prctl. Speculative Store Bypass is enabled for a process     by default. The state of the control is inherited on     fork.

  - seccomp: Same as 'prctl' above, but all seccomp threads     will disable SSB unless they explicitly opt out. The     default is 'seccomp', meaning programs need explicit     opt-in into the mitigation. Status can be queried via     the     /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spec_store_bypas     s file, containing :

  - 'Vulnerable'

  - 'Mitigation: Speculative Store Bypass disabled'

  - 'Mitigation: Speculative Store Bypass disabled via     prctl'

  - 'Mitigation: Speculative Store Bypass disabled via prctl     and seccomp'

  - CVE-2018-8781: The udl_fb_mmap function in     drivers/gpu/drm/udl/udl_fb.c had an integer-overflow     vulnerability allowing local users with access to the     udldrmfb driver to obtain full read and write     permissions on kernel physical pages, resulting in a     code execution in kernel space (bnc#1090643).

  - CVE-2018-10124: The kill_something_info function in     kernel/signal.c might have allowed local users to cause     a denial of service via an INT_MIN argument     (bnc#1089752).

  - CVE-2018-10087: The kernel_wait4 function in     kernel/exit.c might have allowed local users to cause a     denial of service by triggering an attempted use of the
    -INT_MIN value (bnc#1089608).

  - CVE-2018-1000199: An address corruption flaw was     discovered while modifying a h/w breakpoint via     'modify_user_hw_breakpoint' routine, an unprivileged     user/process could use this flaw to crash the system     kernel resulting in DoS OR to potentially escalate     privileges on a the system. (bsc#1089895)

  - CVE-2018-1130: The Linux kernel was vulnerable to a NULL     pointer dereference in dccp_write_xmit() function in     net/dccp/output.c in that allowed a local user to cause     a denial of service by a number of certain crafted     system calls (bnc#1092904).

  - CVE-2018-5803: An error in the _sctp_make_chunk()     function when handling SCTP, packet length could have     been exploited by a malicious local user to cause a     kernel crash and a DoS. (bnc#1083900).

  - CVE-2018-1065: The netfilter subsystem mishandled the     case of a rule blob that contains a jump but lacks a     user-defined chain, which allowed local users to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) by     leveraging the CAP_NET_RAW or CAP_NET_ADMIN capability,     related to arpt_do_table in     net/ipv4/netfilter/arp_tables.c, ipt_do_table in     net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c, and ip6t_do_table in     net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6_tables.c (bnc#1083650 1091925).

  - CVE-2018-7492: A NULL pointer dereference was found in     the net/rds/rdma.c __rds_rdma_map() function allowing     local attackers to cause a system panic and a     denial-of-service, related to RDS_GET_MR and     RDS_GET_MR_FOR_DEST (bnc#1082962).

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - drivers/gpu/msm/kgsl.c in the MSM graphics driver (aka     GPU driver) for the Linux kernel 3.x, as used in     Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions     for MSM devices and other products, mishandles the     KGSL_MEMFLAGS_GPUREADONLY flag, which allows attackers     to gain privileges by leveraging accidental read-write     mappings, aka Qualcomm internal bug     CR988993.(CVE-2016-2067i1/4%0

  - Integer overflow in the mem_check_range function in     drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_mr.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.9.10 allows local users to cause a denial of     service (memory corruption), obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory, or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a write or read request     involving the 'RDMA protocol over infiniband' (aka Soft     RoCE) technology.(CVE-2016-8636i1/4%0

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the     logi_dj_ll_raw_request function in     drivers/hid/hid-logitech-dj.c in the Linux kernel     before 3.16.2 allows physically proximate attackers to     cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly     execute arbitrary code via a crafted device that     specifies a large report size for an LED     report.(CVE-2014-3183i1/4%0

  - The futex_requeue function in kernel/futex.c in the     Linux kernel, before 4.14.15, might allow attackers to     cause a denial of service (integer overflow) or     possibly have unspecified other impacts by triggering a     negative wake or requeue value. Due to the nature of     the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled     out, although we believe it is     unlikely.(CVE-2018-6927i1/4%0

  - The hub_activate function in drivers/usb/core/hub.c in     the Linux kernel before 4.3.5 does not properly     maintain a hub-interface data structure, which allows     physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of     service (invalid memory access and system crash) or     possibly have unspecified other impact by unplugging a     USB hub device.(CVE-2015-8816i1/4%0

  - It was found that the blk_rq_map_user_iov() function in     the Linux kernel's block device implementation did not     properly restrict the type of iterator, which could     allow a local attacker to read or write to arbitrary     kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service     (use-after-free) by leveraging write access to a     /dev/sg device.(CVE-2016-9576i1/4%0

  - A security flaw was found in the Linux kernel's     networking subsystem that destroying the network     interface with huge number of ipv4 addresses assigned     keeps 'rtnl_lock' spinlock for a very long time (up to     hour). This blocks many network-related operations,     including creation of new incoming ssh connections.The     problem is especially important for containers, as the     container owner has enough permissions to trigger this     and block a network access on a whole host, outside the     container.(CVE-2016-3156i1/4%0

  - The edge_bulk_in_callback function in     drivers/usb/serial/io_ti.c in the Linux kernel allows     local users to obtain sensitive information (in the     dmesg ringbuffer and syslog) from uninitialized kernel     memory by using a crafted USB device (posing as an     io_ti USB serial device) to trigger an integer     underflow.(CVE-2017-8924i1/4%0

  - The IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel before     3.18.8 does not properly consider the length of the     Read-Copy Update (RCU) grace period for redirecting     lookups in the absence of caching, which allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (memory     consumption or system crash) via a flood of     packets.(CVE-2015-1465i1/4%0

  - A symlink size validation was missing in Linux kernels     built with UDF file system (CONFIG_UDF_FS) support,     allowing the corruption of kernel memory. An attacker     able to mount a corrupted/malicious UDF file system     image could cause the kernel to crash.(CVE-2014-9728i1/4%0

  - net/ipv6/ip6_output.c in the Linux kernel through     3.11.4 does not properly determine the need for UDP     Fragmentation Offload (UFO) processing of small packets     after the UFO queueing of a large packet, which allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory     corruption and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via network traffic that     triggers a large response packet.(CVE-2013-4387i1/4%0

  - It was found that nfsd is missing permissions check     when setting ACL on files, this may allow a local users     to gain access to any file by setting a crafted     ACL.(CVE-2016-1237i1/4%0

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.13.5, a local user could     create keyrings for other users via keyctl commands,     setting unwanted defaults or causing a denial of     service.(CVE-2017-18270i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel where an     integer overflow in kernel/time/posix-timers.c in the     POSIX timer code is caused by the way the overrun     accounting works. Depending on interval and expiry time     values, the overrun can be larger than INT_MAX, but the     accounting is int based. This basically makes the     accounting values, which are visible to user space via     timer_getoverrun(2) and siginfo::si_overrun,     random.(CVE-2018-12896i1/4%0

  - Since Linux kernel version 3.2, the mremap() syscall     performs TLB flushes after dropping pagetable locks. If     a syscall such as ftruncate() removes entries from the     pagetables of a task that is in the middle of mremap(),     a stale TLB entry can remain for a short time that     permits access to a physical page after it has been     released back to the page allocator and reused. This is     fixed in the following kernel versions: 4.9.135,     4.14.78, 4.18.16, 4.19.(CVE-2018-18281i1/4%0

  - The netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel through     4.15.7 mishandles the case of a rule blob that contains     a jump but lacks a user-defined chain, which allows     local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference) by leveraging the CAP_NET_RAW or     CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, related to arpt_do_table in     net/ipv4/netfilter/arp_tables.c, ipt_do_table in     net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c, and ip6t_do_table in     net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6_tables.c.(CVE-2018-1065i1/4%0

  - The use of a kzalloc with an integer multiplication     allowed an integer overflow condition to be reached in     vfio_pci_intrs.c. This combined with CVE-2016-9083 may     allow an attacker to craft an attack and use     unallocated memory, potentially crashing the     machine.(CVE-2016-9084i1/4%0

  - The acm_probe function in drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c     in the Linux kernel before 4.5.1 allows physically     proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL     pointer dereference and system crash) via a USB device     without both a control and a data endpoint     descriptor.(CVE-2016-3138i1/4%0

  - It was discovered that root can gain direct access to     an internal keyring, such as '.dns_resolver' in RHEL-7     or '.builtin_trusted_keys' upstream, by joining it as     its session keyring. This allows root to bypass module     signature verification by adding a new public key of     its own devising to the keyring.(CVE-2016-9604i1/4%0

  - An information leak flaw was found in the Linux     kernel's IEEE 802.11 wireless networking     implementation. When software encryption was used, a     remote attacker could use this flaw to leak up to 8     bytes of plaintext.(CVE-2014-8709i1/4%0

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the x86 machine check handler in the Linux kernel. A     local privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-7995)

    Eyal Itkin discovered that the USB displaylink video adapter driver in the Linux kernel did not properly     validate mmap offsets sent from userspace. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information     (kernel memory) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-8781)

    Silvio Cesare discovered a buffer overwrite existed in the NCPFS implementation in the Linux kernel. A     remote attacker controlling a malicious NCPFS server could use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-8822)

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.

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

  - CVE-2017-5715     Multiple researchers have discovered a vulnerability in     various processors supporting speculative execution,     enabling an attacker controlling an unprivileged process     to read memory from arbitrary addresses, including from     the kernel and all other processes running on the     system.

  This specific attack has been named Spectre variant 2 (branch target   injection) and is mitigated for the x86 architecture (amd64 and   i386) by using the 'retpoline' compiler feature which allows   indirect branches to be isolated from speculative execution.

  - CVE-2017-5753     Multiple researchers have discovered a vulnerability in     various processors supporting speculative execution,     enabling an attacker controlling an unprivileged process     to read memory from arbitrary addresses, including from     the kernel and all other processes running on the     system.

  This specific attack has been named Spectre variant 1 (bounds-check   bypass) and is mitigated by identifying vulnerable code sections   (array bounds checking followed by array access) and replacing the   array access with the speculation-safe array_index_nospec()   function.

  More use sites will be added over time.

  - CVE-2017-17975     Tuba Yavuz reported a use-after-free flaw in the     USBTV007 audio-video grabber driver. A local user could     use this for denial of service by triggering failure of     audio registration.

  - CVE-2017-18193     Yunlei He reported that the f2fs implementation does not     properly handle extent trees, allowing a local user to     cause a denial of service via an application with     multiple threads.

  - CVE-2017-18216     Alex Chen reported that the OCFS2 filesystem failed to     hold a necessary lock during nodemanager sysfs file     operations, potentially leading to a NULL pointer     dereference. A local user could use this for denial of     service.

  - CVE-2017-18218     Jun He reported a use-after-free flaw in the Hisilicon     HNS ethernet driver. A local user could use this for     denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-18222     It was reported that the Hisilicon Network Subsystem     (HNS) driver implementation does not properly handle     ethtool private flags. A local user could use this for     denial of service or possibly have other impact.

  - CVE-2017-18224     Alex Chen reported that the OCFS2 filesystem omits the     use of a semaphore and consequently has a race condition     for access to the extent tree during read operations in     DIRECT mode. A local user could use this for denial of     service.

  - CVE-2017-18241     Yunlei He reported that the f2fs implementation does not     properly initialise its state if the 'noflush_merge'     mount option is used. A local user with access to a     filesystem mounted with this option could use this to     cause a denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-18257     It was reported that the f2fs implementation is prone to     an infinite loop caused by an integer overflow in the
    __get_data_block() function. A local user can use this     for denial of service via crafted use of the open and     fallocate system calls with an FS_IOC_FIEMAP ioctl.

  - CVE-2018-1065     The syzkaller tool found a NULL pointer dereference flaw     in the netfilter subsystem when handling certain     malformed iptables rulesets. A local user with the     CAP_NET_RAW or CAP_NET_ADMIN capability (in any user     namespace) could use this to cause a denial of service.
    Debian disables unprivileged user namespaces by default.

  - CVE-2018-1066     Dan Aloni reported to Red Hat that the CIFS client     implementation would dereference a NULL pointer if the     server sent an invalid response during NTLMSSP setup     negotiation. This could be used by a malicious server     for denial of service.

  - CVE-2018-1068     The syzkaller tool found that the 32-bit compatibility     layer of ebtables did not sufficiently validate offset     values. On a 64-bit kernel, a local user with the     CAP_NET_ADMIN capability (in any user namespace) could     use this to overwrite kernel memory, possibly leading to     privilege escalation. Debian disables unprivileged user     namespaces by default.

  - CVE-2018-1092     Wen Xu reported that a crafted ext4 filesystem image     would trigger a null dereference when mounted. A local     user able to mount arbitrary filesystems could use this     for denial of service.

  - CVE-2018-1093     Wen Xu reported that a crafted ext4 filesystem image     could trigger an out-of-bounds read in the     ext4_valid_block_bitmap() function. A local user able to     mount arbitrary filesystems could use this for denial of     service.

  - CVE-2018-1108     Jann Horn reported that crng_ready() does not properly     handle the crng_init variable states and the RNG could     be treated as cryptographically safe too early after     system boot.

  - CVE-2018-5803     Alexey Kodanev reported that the SCTP protocol did not     range-check the length of chunks to be created. A local     or remote user could use this to cause a denial of     service.

  - CVE-2018-7480     Hou Tao discovered a double-free flaw in the     blkcg_init_queue() function in block/blk-cgroup.c. A     local user could use this to cause a denial of service     or have other impact.

  - CVE-2018-7566     Fan LongFei reported a race condition in the ALSA     (sound) sequencer core, between write and ioctl     operations. This could lead to an out-of-bounds access     or use-after-free. A local user with access to a     sequencer device could use this for denial of service or     possibly for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2018-7740     Nic Losby reported that the hugetlbfs filesystem's mmap     operation did not properly range-check the file offset.
    A local user with access to files on a hugetlbfs     filesystem could use this to cause a denial of service.

  - CVE-2018-7757     Jason Yan reported a memory leak in the SAS     (Serial-Attached SCSI) subsystem. A local user on a     system with SAS devices could use this to cause a denial     of service.

  - CVE-2018-7995     Seunghun Han reported a race condition in the x86 MCE     (Machine Check Exception) driver. This is unlikely to     have any security impact.

  - CVE-2018-8087     A memory leak flaw was found in the hwsim_new_radio_nl()     function in the simulated radio testing tool driver for     mac80211, allowing a local user to cause a denial of     service.

  - CVE-2018-8781     Eyal Itkin reported that the udl (DisplayLink) driver's     mmap operation did not properly range-check the file     offset. A local user with access to a udl framebuffer     device could exploit this to overwrite kernel memory,     leading to privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2018-8822     Dr Silvio Cesare of InfoSect reported that the ncpfs     client implementation did not validate reply lengths     from the server. An ncpfs server could use this to cause     a denial of service or remote code execution in the     client.

  - CVE-2018-10323     Wen Xu reported a NULL pointer dereference flaw in the     xfs_bmapi_write() function triggered when mounting and     operating a crafted xfs filesystem image. A local user     able to mount arbitrary filesystems could use this for     denial of service.

  - CVE-2018-1000199     Andy Lutomirski discovered that the ptrace subsystem did     not sufficiently validate hardware breakpoint settings.
    Local users can use this to cause a denial of service,     or possibly for privilege escalation, on x86 (amd64 and     i386) and possibly other architectures.
