The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3753-2 advisory.

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the kernel scsi driver. Product: Android. Versions: Android     kernel. Android ID A-65023233. (CVE-2017-13168)

  - A flaw was found in Linux kernel in the ext4 filesystem code. A use-after-free is possible in     ext4_ext_remove_space() function when mounting and operating a crafted ext4 image. (CVE-2018-10876)

  - Linux kernel ext4 filesystem is vulnerable to an out-of-bound access in the ext4_ext_drop_refs() function     when operating on a crafted ext4 filesystem image. (CVE-2018-10877)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem. A local user can cause an out-of-bounds write and     a denial of service or unspecified other impact is possible by mounting and operating a crafted ext4     filesystem image. (CVE-2018-10878)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem. A local user can cause a use-after-free in     ext4_xattr_set_entry function and a denial of service or unspecified other impact may occur by renaming a     file in a crafted ext4 filesystem image. (CVE-2018-10879)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem. A local user can cause an out-of-bound access in     ext4_get_group_info function, a denial of service, and a system crash by mounting and operating on a     crafted ext4 filesystem image. (CVE-2018-10881)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem. A local user can cause an out-of-bound write in in     fs/jbd2/transaction.c code, a denial of service, and a system crash by unmounting a crafted ext4     filesystem image. (CVE-2018-10882)

  - In the ea_get function in fs/jfs/xattr.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.1, a memory corruption bug in     JFS can be triggered by calling setxattr twice with two different extended attribute names on the same     file. This vulnerability can be triggered by an unprivileged user with the ability to create files and     execute programs. A kmalloc call is incorrect, leading to slab-out-of-bounds in jfs_xattr.
    (CVE-2018-12233)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr_leaf.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3. An OOPS may     occur for a corrupted xfs image after xfs_da_shrink_inode() is called with a NULL bp. (CVE-2018-13094)

  - The inode_init_owner function in fs/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16 allows local users to create     files with an unintended group ownership, in a scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group and     is writable by a user who is not a member of that group. Here, the non-member can trigger creation of a     plain file whose group ownership is that group. The intended behavior was that the non-member can trigger     creation of a directory (but not a plain file) whose group ownership is that group. The non-member can     escalate privileges by making the plain file executable and SGID. (CVE-2018-13405)

  - An integer overflow in the uvesafb_setcmap function in drivers/video/fbdev/uvesafb.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.17.4 could result in local attackers being able to crash the kernel or potentially elevate     privileges because kmalloc_array is not used. (CVE-2018-13406)

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

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the qemu-kvm-6.2.0-7.el9 build changelog.

  - The inode_init_owner function in fs/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16 allows local users to create     files with an unintended group ownership, in a scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group and     is writable by a user who is not a member of that group. Here, the non-member can trigger creation of a     plain file whose group ownership is that group. The intended behavior was that the non-member can trigger     creation of a directory (but not a plain file) whose group ownership is that group. The non-member can     escalate privileges by making the plain file executable and SGID. (CVE-2018-13405)

  - potential privilege escalation via CVE-2018-13405 [rhel-9.0]) (CVE-2022-0358)

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

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 :

  - The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz),     the core of any Linux operating system. The kernel     handles the basic functions of the operating system:
    memory allocation, process allocation, device input and     output, etc.Security Fix(es):Use-after-free     vulnerability in driverset/tun.c in the Linux kernel     through 3.11.1 allows local users to gain privileges by     leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability and providing     an invalid tuntap interface name in a TUNSETIFF ioctl     call.(CVE-2013-4343)It was found that when the gcc     stack protector was enabled, reading the /proc/keys     file could cause a panic in the Linux kernel due to     stack corruption. This happened because an incorrect     buffer size was used to hold a 64-bit timeout value     rendered as weeks.(CVE-2016-7042)A flaw was found in     the Linux kernel that fs/ocfs2/aops.c omits use of a     semaphore and consequently has a race condition for     access to the extent tree during read operations in     DIRECT mode. This allows local users to cause a denial     of service by modifying a certain e_cpos     field.(CVE-2017-18224)The sctp_v6_create_accept_sk     function in net/sctp/ipv6.c in the Linux kernel     mishandles inheritance, which allows local users to     cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified     other impact via crafted system calls, a related issue     to CVE-2017-8890. An unprivileged local user could use     this flaw to induce kernel memory corruption on the     system, leading to a crash. Due to the nature of the     flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out,     although we believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2017-9075)In     the function sbusfb_ioctl_helper() in     drivers/video/fbdev/sbuslib.c in the Linux kernel, up     to and including 4.15, an integer signedness error     allows arbitrary information leakage for the     FBIOPUTCMAP_SPARC and FBIOGETCMAP_SPARC     commands.(CVE-2018-6412)A race condition flaw was found     in the way the Linux kernel's mmap(2), madvise(2), and     fallocate(2) system calls interacted with each other     while operating on virtual memory file system files. A     local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of     service.(CVE-2014-4171)** RESERVED ** This candidate     has been reserved by an organization or individual that     will use it when announcing a new security problem.
    When the candidate has been publicized, the details for     this candidate will be provided.(CVE-2018-1095)A NULL     pointer dereference flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)     implementation handled simultaneous connections between     the same hosts. A remote attacker could use this flaw     to crash the system.(CVE-2014-5077)A vulnerability was     found in the fs/inode.c:inode_init_owner() function     logic of the LInux kernel that allows local users to     create files with an unintended group ownership and     with group execution and SGID permission bits set, in a     scenario where a directory is SGID and belongs to a     certain group and is writable by a user who is not a     member of this group. This can lead to excessive     permissions granted in case when they should     not.(CVE-2018-13405)In the Linux kernel before 4.20.8,     kvm_ioctl_create_device in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c     mishandles reference counting because of a race     condition, leading to a use-after-free.(CVE-2019-6974)A     flaw was found in the way Linux kernel allocates heap     memory to build the scattergather list from a fragment     list(skb_shinfo(skb)-i1/4zfrag_list) in the socket     buffer(skb_buff). The heap overflow occurred if     'MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1' parameter and 'NETIF_F_FRAGLIST'     feature are both used together. A remote user or     process could use this flaw to potentially escalate     their privilege on a system.(CVE-2017-7477)Multiple     integer overflows in Alchemy LCD frame-buffer drivers     in the Linux kernel before 3.12 allow local users to     create a read-write memory mapping for the entirety of     kernel memory, and consequently gain privileges, via     crafted mmap operations, related to the (1)     au1100fb_fb_mmap function in drivers/video/au1100fb.c     and the (2) au1200fb_fb_mmap function in     drivers/video/au1200fb.c.(CVE-2013-4511)It was found     that in the Linux kernel through v4.14-rc5,     bio_map_user_iov() and bio_unmap_user() in     'block/bio.c' do unbalanced pages refcounting if IO     vector has small consecutive buffers belonging to the     same page. bio_add_pc_page() merges them into one, but     the page reference is never dropped, causing a memory     leak and possible system lockup due to out-of-memory     condition.(CVE-2017-12190)An issue was discovered in     the Linux kernel before 4.19.3. crypto_report_one() and     related functions in crypto/crypto_user.c (the crypto     user configuration API) do not fully initialize     structures that are copied to userspace, potentially     leaking sensitive memory to user programs. NOTE: this     is a CVE-2013-2547 regression but with easier     exploitability because the attacker does not need a     capability (however, the system must have the     CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER kconfig option).(CVE-2018-19854)The     userfaultfd implementation in the Linux kernel before     4.19.7 mishandles access control for certain UFFDIO_     ioctl calls, as demonstrated by allowing local users to     write data into holes in a tmpfs file (if the user has     read-only access to that file, and that file contains     holes), related to fs/userfaultfd.c and     mm/userfaultfd.c.(CVE-2018-18397)The TCP stack in the     Linux kernel through 4.10.6 mishandles the     SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS feature, which allows local     users to obtain sensitive information from the kernel's     internal socket data structures or cause a denial of     service (out-of-bounds read) via crafted system calls,     related to net/core/skbuff.c and     net/socket.c.(CVE-2017-7277)A flaw was found in the way     the Linux kernel's vhost driver treated userspace     provided log file descriptor when processing the     VHOST_SET_LOG_FD ioctl command. The file descriptor was     never released and continued to consume kernel memory.
    A privileged local user with access to the     /dev/vhost-net files could use this flaw to create a     denial-of-service attack.(CVE-2015-6252)A buffer     overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's     virtio-net subsystem handled certain fraglists when the     GRO (Generic Receive Offload) functionality was enabled     in a bridged network configuration. An attacker on the     local network could potentially use this flaw to crash     the system, or, although unlikely, elevate their     privileges on the system.(CVE-2015-5156)The MSM QDSP6     audio driver (aka sound driver) for the Linux kernel     3.x, as used in Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC)     Android contributions for MSM devices and other     products, allows attackers to gain privileges or cause     a denial of service (integer overflow, and buffer     overflow or buffer over-read) via a crafted application     that performs a (1) AUDIO_EFFECTS_WRITE or (2)     AUDIO_EFFECTS_READ operation, aka Qualcomm internal bug     CR1006609.(CVE-2016-2068)The icmp6_send function in     net/ipv6/icmp.c in the Linux kernel through 4.8.12     omits a certain check of the dst data structure which     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (panic) via a fragmented IPv6 packet.(CVE-2016-9919)

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A buffer overflow vulnerability due to a lack of input     filtering of incoming fragmented datagrams was found in     the IP-over-1394 driver [firewire-net] in a fragment     handling code in the Linux kernel. The vulnerability     exists since firewire supported IPv4, i.e. since version     2.6.31 (year 2009) till version v4.9-rc4. A maliciously     formed fragment with a respectively large datagram     offset would cause a memcpy() past the datagram buffer,     which would cause a system panic or possible arbitrary     code execution. The flaw requires [firewire-net] module     to be loaded and is remotely exploitable from connected     firewire devices, but not over a local network.
    (CVE-2016-8633)

  - A bug in the 32-bit compatibility layer of the ioctl     handling code of the v4l2 video driver in the Linux     kernel has been found. A memory protection mechanism     ensuring that user-provided buffers always point to a     userspace memory were disabled, allowing destination     address to be in a kernel space. This flaw could be     exploited by an attacker to overwrite a kernel memory     from an unprivileged userspace process, leading to     privilege escalation. (CVE-2017-13166)

  - The timer_create syscall implementation in     kernel/time/posix-timers.c in the Linux kernel doesn't     properly validate the sigevent->sigev_notify field,     which leads to out-of-bounds access in the show_timer     function. (CVE-2017-18344)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in DCCP socket     code affecting the Linux kernel since 2.6.16. This     vulnerability could allow an attacker to their escalate     privileges. (CVE-2017-8824)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's KVM     hypervisor handled exceptions delivered after a stack     switch operation via Mov SS or Pop SS instructions.
    During the stack switch operation, the processor did not     deliver interrupts and exceptions, rather they are     delivered once the first instruction after the stack     switch is executed. An unprivileged KVM guest user could     use this flaw to crash the guest or, potentially,     escalate their privileges in the guest. (CVE-2018-1087)

  - It was found that the raw midi kernel driver does not     protect against concurrent access which leads to a     double realloc (double free) in     snd_rawmidi_input_params() and     snd_rawmidi_output_status() which are part of     snd_rawmidi_ioctl() handler in rawmidi.c file. A     malicious local attacker could possibly use this for     privilege escalation. (CVE-2018-10902)

  - A vulnerability was found in the     fs/inode.c:inode_init_owner() function logic of the     LInux kernel that allows local users to create files     with an unintended group ownership and with group     execution and SGID permission bits set, in a scenario     where a directory is SGID and belongs to a certain group     and is writable by a user who is not a member of this     group. This can lead to excessive permissions granted in     case when they should not. (CVE-2018-13405)

  - Modern operating systems implement virtualization of     physical memory to efficiently use available system     resources and provide inter-domain protection through     access control and isolation. The L1TF issue was found     in the way the x86 microprocessor designs have     implemented speculative execution of instructions (a     commonly used performance optimization) in combination     with handling of page-faults caused by terminated     virtual to physical address resolving process. As a     result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to     read privileged memory of the kernel or other processes     and/or cross guest/host boundaries to read host memory     by conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks.
    (CVE-2018-3620)

  - 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)

  - An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern     microprocessor designs have implemented speculative     execution of instructions past bounds check. The flaw     relies on the presence of a precisely-defined     instruction sequence in the privileged code and the fact     that memory writes occur to an address which depends on     the untrusted value. Such writes 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 influence speculative execution and/or     read privileged memory by conducting targeted cache     side-channel attacks. (CVE-2018-3693)

  - 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)

  - A an integer overflow vulnerability was discovered in     the Linux kernel, from version 3.4 through 4.15, in the     drivers/gpu/drm/udl/udl_fb.c:udl_fb_mmap() function. An     attacker with access to the udldrmfb driver could     exploit this to obtain full read and write permissions     on kernel physical pages, resulting in a code execution     in kernel space. (CVE-2018-8781)

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

The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2021:1460-1 advisory.

  - The inode_init_owner function in fs/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16 allows local users to create     files with an unintended group ownership, in a scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group and     is writable by a user who is not a member of that group. Here, the non-member can trigger creation of a     plain file whose group ownership is that group. The intended behavior was that the non-member can trigger     creation of a directory (but not a plain file) whose group ownership is that group. The non-member can     escalate privileges by making the plain file executable and SGID. (CVE-2018-13405)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.11.14 has a use-after-free in cipso_v4_genopt in net/ipv4/cipso_ipv4.c because     the CIPSO and CALIPSO refcounting for the DOI definitions is mishandled, aka CID-ad5d07f4a9cd. This leads     to writing an arbitrary value. (CVE-2021-33033)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.13.7, an unprivileged BPF program can obtain sensitive information from     kernel memory via a Speculative Store Bypass side-channel attack because the protection mechanism neglects     the possibility of uninitialized memory locations on the BPF stack. (CVE-2021-34556)

(CVE-2021-3542)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.13.7, an unprivileged BPF program can obtain sensitive information from     kernel memory via a Speculative Store Bypass side-channel attack because a certain preempting store     operation does not necessarily occur before a store operation that has an attacker-controlled value.
    (CVE-2021-35477)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel in versions prior to v5.14-rc1. Missing size validations on     inbound SCTP packets may allow the kernel to read uninitialized memory. (CVE-2021-3655)

  - prealloc_elems_and_freelist in kernel/bpf/stackmap.c in the Linux kernel through 5.14.9 allows     unprivileged users to trigger an eBPF multiplication integer overflow with a resultant out-of-bounds     write. (CVE-2021-41864)

  - The decode_data function in drivers/net/hamradio/6pack.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.13 has a slab     out-of-bounds write. Input from a process that has the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability can lead to root access.
    (CVE-2021-42008)

  - An issue was discovered in aspeed_lpc_ctrl_mmap in drivers/soc/aspeed/aspeed-lpc-ctrl.c in the Linux     kernel before 5.14.6. Local attackers able to access the Aspeed LPC control interface could overwrite     memory in the kernel and potentially execute privileges, aka CID-b49a0e69a7b1. This occurs because a     certain comparison uses values that are not memory sizes. (CVE-2021-42252)

  - The firewire subsystem in the Linux kernel through 5.14.13 has a buffer overflow related to     drivers/media/firewire/firedtv-avc.c and drivers/media/firewire/firedtv-ci.c, because avc_ca_pmt     mishandles bounds checking. (CVE-2021-42739)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel for powerpc before 5.14.15. It allows a malicious KVM guest to     crash the host, when the host is running on Power8, due to an arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S     implementation bug in the handling of the SRR1 register values. (CVE-2021-43056)

    Upstream kernel (CVE-2021-0941)

  - A flaw in the processing of received ICMP errors (ICMP fragment needed and ICMP redirect) in the Linux     kernel functionality was found to allow the ability to quickly scan open UDP ports. This flaw allows an     off-path remote user to effectively bypass the source port UDP randomization. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to confidentiality and possibly integrity, because software that relies on UDP source     port randomization are indirectly affected as well. (CVE-2021-20322)

  - An issue was discovered in Linux: KVM through Improper handling of VM_IO|VM_PFNMAP vmas in KVM can bypass     RO checks and can lead to pages being freed while still accessible by the VMM and guest. This allows users     with the ability to start and control a VM to read/write random pages of memory and can result in local     privilege escalation. (CVE-2021-22543)

  - An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory write flaw was found in list_devices in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c in the Multi-     device driver module in the Linux kernel before 5.12. A bound check failure allows an attacker with     special user (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) privilege to gain access to out-of-bounds memory leading to a system crash or     a leak of internal kernel information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system     availability. (CVE-2021-31916)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.13.7, an unprivileged BPF program can obtain sensitive information from     kernel memory via a Speculative Store Bypass side-channel attack because the protection mechanism neglects     the possibility of uninitialized memory locations on the BPF stack. (CVE-2021-34556)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's CAPI over Bluetooth connection code. An attacker with a local     account can escalate privileges when CAPI (ISDN) hardware connection fails. (CVE-2021-34981)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.13.7, an unprivileged BPF program can obtain sensitive information from     kernel memory via a Speculative Store Bypass side-channel attack because a certain preempting store     operation does not necessarily occur before a store operation that has an attacker-controlled value.
    (CVE-2021-35477)

  - A flaw use-after-free in function sco_sock_sendmsg() of the Linux kernel HCI subsystem was found in the     way user calls ioct UFFDIO_REGISTER or other way triggers race condition of the call sco_conn_del()     together with the call sco_sock_sendmsg() with the expected controllable faulting memory page. A     privileged local user could use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system.
    (CVE-2021-3640)

  - A flaw was found in the KVM's AMD code for supporting SVM nested virtualization. The flaw occurs when     processing the VMCB (virtual machine control block) provided by the L1 guest to spawn/handle a nested     guest (L2). Due to improper validation of the int_ctl field, this issue could allow a malicious L1 to     enable AVIC support (Advanced Virtual Interrupt Controller) for the L2 guest. As a result, the L2 guest     would be allowed to read/write physical pages of the host, resulting in a crash of the entire system, leak     of sensitive data or potential guest-to-host escape. This flaw affects Linux kernel versions prior to     5.14-rc7. (CVE-2021-3653)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel in versions prior to v5.14-rc1. Missing size validations on     inbound SCTP packets may allow the kernel to read uninitialized memory. (CVE-2021-3655)

  - A flaw was found in the KVM's AMD code for supporting SVM nested virtualization. The flaw occurs when     processing the VMCB (virtual machine control block) provided by the L1 guest to spawn/handle a nested     guest (L2). Due to improper validation of the virt_ext field, this issue could allow a malicious L1 to     disable both VMLOAD/VMSAVE intercepts and VLS (Virtual VMLOAD/VMSAVE) for the L2 guest. As a result, the     L2 guest would be allowed to read/write physical pages of the host, resulting in a crash of the entire     system, leak of sensitive data or potential guest-to-host escape. (CVE-2021-3656)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IEEE 802.15.4 wireless networking     subsystem in the way the user closes the LR-WPAN connection.
