The remote SUSE Linux SLED12 / SLED_SAP12 / SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:1803-1 advisory.

  - Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and branch prediction may allow unauthorized     disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a side-channel analysis.
    (CVE-2017-5753)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of RDMA over infiniband. An attacker with a     privileged local account can leak kernel stack information when issuing commands to the     /dev/infiniband/rdma_cm device node. While this access is unlikely to leak sensitive user information, it     can be further used to defeat existing kernel protection mechanisms. (CVE-2021-3923)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in qdisc_graft in net/sched/sch_api.c in the Linux Kernel due to a race     problem. This flaw leads to a denial of service issue. If patch ebda44da44f6 (net: sched: fix race     condition in qdisc_graft()) not applied yet, then kernel could be affected. (CVE-2023-0590)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel. The tun/tap sockets have their socket UID hardcoded to 0 due to a     type confusion in their initialization function. While it will be often correct, as tuntap devices require     CAP_NET_ADMIN, it may not always be the case, e.g., a non-root user only having that capability. This     would make tun/tap sockets being incorrectly treated in filtering/routing decisions, possibly bypassing     network filters. (CVE-2023-1076)

  - In nf_tables_updtable, if nf_tables_table_enable returns an error, nft_trans_destroy is called to free the     transaction object. nft_trans_destroy() calls list_del(), but the transaction was never placed on a list
    -- the list head is all zeroes, this results in a NULL pointer dereference. (CVE-2023-1095)

  - Use After Free vulnerability in Linux kernel traffic control index filter (tcindex) allows Privilege     Escalation. The imperfect hash area can be updated while packets are traversing, which will cause a use-     after-free when 'tcf_exts_exec()' is called with the destroyed tcf_ext. A local attacker user can use this     vulnerability to elevate its privileges to root. This issue affects Linux Kernel: from 4.14 before git     commit ee059170b1f7e94e55fa6cadee544e176a6e59c2. (CVE-2023-1281)

  - A remote denial of service vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's TIPC kernel module. The while     loop in tipc_link_xmit() hits an unknown state while attempting to parse SKBs, which are not in the queue.
    Sending two small UDP packets to a system with a UDP bearer results in the CPU utilization for the system     to instantly spike to 100%, causing a denial of service condition. (CVE-2023-1390)

  - A flaw was found in KVM. When calling the KVM_GET_DEBUGREGS ioctl, on 32-bit systems, there might be some     uninitialized portions of the kvm_debugregs structure that could be copied to userspace, causing an     information leak. (CVE-2023-1513)

  - cbq_classify in net/sched/sch_cbq.c in the Linux kernel through 6.1.4 allows attackers to cause a denial     of service (slab-out-of-bounds read) because of type confusion (non-negative numbers can sometimes     indicate a TC_ACT_SHOT condition rather than valid classification results). (CVE-2023-23454)

  - atm_tc_enqueue in net/sched/sch_atm.c in the Linux kernel through 6.1.4 allows attackers to cause a denial     of service because of type confusion (non-negative numbers can sometimes indicate a TC_ACT_SHOT condition     rather than valid classification results). (CVE-2023-23455)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the az6027 driver in drivers/media/usb/dev-usb/az6027.c in     the Linux Kernel. The message from user space is not checked properly before transferring into the device.
    This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or potentially cause a denial of service.

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.13.3. lib/seq_buf.c has a seq_buf_putmem_hex buffer     overflow. (CVE-2023-28772)

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

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6700-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) implementation in the Linux kernel contained     a race condition when releasing PPPoL2TP sockets in certain conditions, 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-2022-20567)

    It was discovered that the ext4 file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle     block device modification while it is mounted. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive information. (CVE-2023-34256)

    Eric Dumazet discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle DCCP     conntrack buffers in certain situations, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. An attacker could     possibly use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2023-39197)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the AppleTalk networking subsystem of 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-2023-51781)

    It was discovered that the ext4 file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle the     remount operation in certain cases, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use     this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive information. (CVE-2024-0775)

    Notselwyn discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle verdict     parameters in certain cases, 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-2024-1086)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the SCSI Emulex LightPulse Fibre Channel driver in the     Linux kernel when unregistering FCF and re-scanning an HBA FCF table, leading to a null pointer     dereference vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:1848-1 advisory.

  - Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and branch prediction may allow unauthorized     disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a side-channel analysis.
    (CVE-2017-5753)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of RDMA over infiniband. An attacker with a     privileged local account can leak kernel stack information when issuing commands to the     /dev/infiniband/rdma_cm device node. While this access is unlikely to leak sensitive user information, it     can be further used to defeat existing kernel protection mechanisms. (CVE-2021-3923)

  - A use-after-free read flaw was found in sock_getsockopt() in net/core/sock.c due to SO_PEERCRED and     SO_PEERGROUPS race with listen() (and connect()) in the Linux kernel. In this flaw, an attacker with a     user privileges may crash the system or leak internal kernel information. (CVE-2021-4203)

  - In pppol2tp_create of l2tp_ppp.c, there is a possible use after free due to a race condition. 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-186777253References:
    Upstream kernel (CVE-2022-20567)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in rawv6_push_pending_frames in net/ipv6/raw.c in the network     subcomponent in the Linux kernel. This flaw causes the system to crash. (CVE-2023-0394)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in qdisc_graft in net/sched/sch_api.c in the Linux Kernel due to a race     problem. This flaw leads to a denial of service issue. If patch ebda44da44f6 (net: sched: fix race     condition in qdisc_graft()) not applied yet, then kernel could be affected. (CVE-2023-0590)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel. The tun/tap sockets have their socket UID hardcoded to 0 due to a     type confusion in their initialization function. While it will be often correct, as tuntap devices require     CAP_NET_ADMIN, it may not always be the case, e.g., a non-root user only having that capability. This     would make tun/tap sockets being incorrectly treated in filtering/routing decisions, possibly bypassing     network filters. (CVE-2023-1076)

  - In nf_tables_updtable, if nf_tables_table_enable returns an error, nft_trans_destroy is called to free the     transaction object. nft_trans_destroy() calls list_del(), but the transaction was never placed on a list
    -- the list head is all zeroes, this results in a NULL pointer dereference. (CVE-2023-1095)

  - Use After Free vulnerability in Linux kernel traffic control index filter (tcindex) allows Privilege     Escalation. The imperfect hash area can be updated while packets are traversing, which will cause a use-     after-free when 'tcf_exts_exec()' is called with the destroyed tcf_ext. A local attacker user can use this     vulnerability to elevate its privileges to root. This issue affects Linux Kernel: from 4.14 before git     commit ee059170b1f7e94e55fa6cadee544e176a6e59c2. (CVE-2023-1281)

  - A remote denial of service vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's TIPC kernel module. The while     loop in tipc_link_xmit() hits an unknown state while attempting to parse SKBs, which are not in the queue.
    Sending two small UDP packets to a system with a UDP bearer results in the CPU utilization for the system     to instantly spike to 100%, causing a denial of service condition. (CVE-2023-1390)

  - A flaw was found in KVM. When calling the KVM_GET_DEBUGREGS ioctl, on 32-bit systems, there might be some     uninitialized portions of the kvm_debugregs structure that could be copied to userspace, causing an     information leak. (CVE-2023-1513)

  - cbq_classify in net/sched/sch_cbq.c in the Linux kernel through 6.1.4 allows attackers to cause a denial     of service (slab-out-of-bounds read) because of type confusion (non-negative numbers can sometimes     indicate a TC_ACT_SHOT condition rather than valid classification results). (CVE-2023-23454)

  - atm_tc_enqueue in net/sched/sch_atm.c in the Linux kernel through 6.1.4 allows attackers to cause a denial     of service because of type confusion (non-negative numbers can sometimes indicate a TC_ACT_SHOT condition     rather than valid classification results). (CVE-2023-23455)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the az6027 driver in drivers/media/usb/dev-usb/az6027.c in     the Linux Kernel. The message from user space is not checked properly before transferring into the device.
    This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or potentially cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2023-28328)

  - hci_conn_cleanup in net/bluetooth/hci_conn.c in the Linux kernel through 6.2.9 has a use-after-free     (observed in hci_conn_hash_flush) because of calls to hci_dev_put and hci_conn_put. There is a double free     that may lead to privilege escalation. (CVE-2023-28464)
