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

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ntfs: add sanity check on allocation     size ntfs_read_inode_mount invokes ntfs_malloc_nofs with zero allocation size. It triggers one BUG in the
    __ntfs_malloc function. Fix this by adding sanity check on ni->attr_list_size. (CVE-2022-49166)

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

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.276-211.499. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2569 advisory.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    ubi: Fix race condition between ctrl_cdev_ioctl and ubi_cdev_ioctl (CVE-2021-47634)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's FUSE filesystem in the way a user triggers write().
    This flaw allows a local user to gain unauthorized access to data from the FUSE filesystem, resulting in     privilege escalation. (CVE-2022-1011)

    A vulnerability was found in the pfkey_register function in net/key/af_key.c in the Linux kernel. This     flaw allows a local, unprivileged user to gain access to kernel memory, leading to a system crash or a     leak of internal kernel information. (CVE-2022-1353)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel implementation of proxied virtualized TPM devices. On a system where     virtualized TPM devices are configured (this is not the default) a local attacker can create a use-after-     free and create a situation where it may be possible to escalate privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-2977)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A NULL pointer dereference may occur while a slip driver is in     progress to detach in sl_tx_timeout in drivers/net/slip/slip.c. This issue could allow an attacker to     crash the system or leak internal kernel information. (CVE-2022-41858)

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.4.190-107.353. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.4-2024-076 advisory.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    ubi: Fix race condition between ctrl_cdev_ioctl and ubi_cdev_ioctl (CVE-2021-47634)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    Revert Revert block, bfq: honor already-setup queue merges (CVE-2021-47646)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    ASoC: soc-compress: prevent the potentially use of null pointer (CVE-2021-47650)

    When the KVM updates the guest's page table entry, it will first use get_user_pages_fast() to pin the     page, and when it fails (e.g. the vma->flags has VM_IO or VM_PFNMAP), it will get corresponding VMA where     the page lies in through find_vma_intersection(), calculate the physical address, and map the page to the     kernel virtual address through memremap(), and finally, write the update.The problem is that when we get     the vma through find_vma_intersection(), only VM_PFNMAP is checked, not both VM_IO and VM_PFNMAP. In the     reproducer below, after the KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION is completed, we replace the guest's memory mapping     with the kernel-user shared region of io_uring and then perform the KVM_TRANSLATE operation, which finally     triggers the page table entry update. Now, memremap() will return page_offset_base (direct mapping of all     physical memory) + vaddr (the linear address of KVM_TRANSLATE) + vm_pgoff (the offset when io_uring     performs mmap(2)), and use the return value as the base address for CMPXCHG (write 0x21 in this case).
    Since both vaddr and vm_pgoff are controllable by the user-mode process, writing may exceed the previously     mapped guest memory space and trigger exceptions such as UAF. The vulnerability shares similarities with     CVE-2021-22543. (CVE-2022-1158)
