The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5361-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the VFIO PCI driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle attempts to access     disabled memory spaces. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
    (CVE-2020-12888)

    Mathy Vanhoef discovered that the Linux kernels WiFi implementation did not properly verify certain     fragmented frames. A physically proximate attacker could possibly use this issue to inject or decrypt     packets. (CVE-2020-26141)

    Mathy Vanhoef discovered that the Linux kernels WiFi implementation accepted plaintext fragments in     certain situations. A physically proximate attacker could use this issue to inject packets.
    (CVE-2020-26145)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Atheros Ath9k WiFi driver in the Linux kernel. An     attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information (WiFi network traffic). (CVE-2020-3702)

    It was discovered a race condition existed in the Unix domain socket implementation in the Linux kernel,     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-2021-0920)

    It was discovered that the IPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel contained 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-2021-0935)

    Zygo Blaxell discovered that the btrfs file system implementation in the Linux kernel contained a race     condition during certain cloning operations. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of     service (system crash). (CVE-2021-28964)

    Dan Carpenter discovered that the block device manager (dm) implementation in the Linux kernel contained a     buffer overflow in the ioctl for listing devices. A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a     denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2021-31916)

    It was discovered that the Option USB High Speed Mobile device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly     handle error conditions. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service     (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-37159)

    It was discovered that the network packet filtering implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly     initialize information in certain circumstances. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive     information (kernel memory). (CVE-2021-39636)

    Jann Horn discovered a race condition in the Unix domain socket implementation in the Linux kernel that     could result in a read-after-free. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-4083)

    Luo Likang discovered that the FireDTV Firewire driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform bounds     checking in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash)     or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-42739)

    Brendan Dolan-Gavitt discovered that the Marvell WiFi-Ex USB device driver in the Linux kernel did not     properly handle some error conditions. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service (system crash). (CVE-2021-43976)

    Amit Klein discovered that the IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel could disclose internal state in     some situations. An attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2021-45486)

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

  - Insufficient control flow management for the Intel(R) 82599 Ethernet Controllers and Adapters may allow an     authenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via local access. (CVE-2021-33061)

  - In do_ipt_get_ctl and do_ipt_set_ctl of ip_tables.c, there is a possible way to leak kernel information     due to uninitialized data. This could lead to local information disclosure with system execution     privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android     kernelAndroid ID: A-120612905References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2021-39636)

  - A memory leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel's DMA subsystem, in the way a user calls DMA_FROM_DEVICE.
    This flaw allows a local user to read random memory from the kernel space. (CVE-2022-0854)

  - Linux Kernel could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a concurrency     use-after-free flaw in the bad_flp_intr function. By executing a specially-crafted program, an attacker     could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition on the     system. (CVE-2022-1652)

  - In lg_probe and related functions of hid-lg.c and other USB HID files, there is a possible out of bounds     read due to improper input validation. This could lead to local information disclosure if a malicious USB     HID device were plugged in, with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed     for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID: A-188677105References: Upstream     kernel (CVE-2022-20132)

  - In various methods of kernel base drivers, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a heap buffer     overflow. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User     interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID:
    A-182388481References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2022-20166)

  - drivers/block/floppy.c in the Linux kernel before 5.17.6 is vulnerable to a denial of service, because of     a concurrency use-after-free flaw after deallocating raw_cmd in the raw_cmd_ioctl function.
    (CVE-2022-33981)

  - kernel: information leak in copy_page_to_iter() in iov_iter.c (CVE-2022-0850)

  - kernel: race condition in perf_event_open leads to privilege escalation (CVE-2022-1729)
