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.

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

  - A use-after-free in binder.c allows an elevation of privilege from an application to the Linux Kernel. No     user interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability, however exploitation does require either the     installation of a malicious local application or a separate vulnerability in a network facing     application.Product: AndroidAndroid ID: A-141720095 (CVE-2019-2215)

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

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

CVE-2019-2215

The syzkaller tool discovered a use-after-free vulnerability in the Android binder driver. A local user on a system with this driver enabled could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation. However, this driver is not enabled on Debian packaged kernels.

CVE-2019-10220

Various developers and researchers found that if a crafted file- system or malicious file server presented a directory with filenames including a '/' character, this could confuse and possibly defeat security checks in applications that read the directory.

The kernel will now return an error when reading such a directory, rather than passing the invalid filenames on to user-space.

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

CVE-2018-13093, CVE-2018-13094

Wen Xu from SSLab at Gatech reported several NULL pointer dereference flaws that may be triggered when mounting and operating a crafted XFS volume. An attacker able to mount arbitrary XFS volumes could use this to cause a denial of service (crash).

CVE-2018-21008

It was discovered that the rsi wifi driver did not correctly handle some failure conditions, which could lead to a use-after- free. The security impact of this is unclear.

CVE-2019-0136

It was discovered that the wifi soft-MAC implementation (mac80211) did not properly authenticate Tunneled Direct Link Setup (TDLS) messages.
A nearby attacker could use this for denial of service (loss of wifi connectivity).

CVE-2019-2215

The syzkaller tool discovered a use-after-free vulnerability in the Android binder driver. A local user on a system with this driver enabled could use this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation. However, this driver is not enabled on Debian packaged kernels.

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-004336 advisory.

    A use-after-free in binder.c allows an elevation of privilege from an application to the Linux Kernel. No     user interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability, however exploitation does require either the     installation of a malicious local application or a separate vulnerability in a network facing     application.Product: AndroidAndroid ID: A-141720095
