The remote SUSE Linux SLES11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2019:14089-1 advisory.

  - The Btrfs implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.19 does not ensure that the visible xattr state is     consistent with a requested replacement, which allows local users to bypass intended ACL settings and gain     privileges via standard filesystem operations (1) during an xattr-replacement time window, related to a     race condition, or (2) after an xattr-replacement attempt that fails because the data does not fit.
    (CVE-2014-9710)

  - An issue was discovered in the proc_pid_stack function in fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel through     4.18.11. It does not ensure that only root may inspect the kernel stack of an arbitrary task, allowing a     local attacker to exploit racy stack unwinding and leak kernel task stack contents. (CVE-2018-17972)

  - The Linux kernel before 4.8 allows local users to bypass ASLR on setuid programs (such as /bin/su) because     install_exec_creds() is called too late in load_elf_binary() in fs/binfmt_elf.c, and thus the     ptrace_may_access() check has a race condition when reading /proc/pid/stat. (CVE-2019-11190)

  - Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs value was subject to an integer overflow     in the Linux kernel when handling TCP Selective Acknowledgments (SACKs). A remote attacker could use this     to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kernel releases 4.4.182, 4.9.182, 4.14.127,     4.19.52, 5.1.11, and is fixed in commit 3b4929f65b0d8249f19a50245cd88ed1a2f78cff. (CVE-2019-11477)

  - Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCP retransmission queue implementation in tcp_fragment in the Linux     kernel could be fragmented when handling certain TCP Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) sequences. A remote     attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kernel releases     4.4.182, 4.9.182, 4.14.127, 4.19.52, 5.1.11, and is fixed in commit     f070ef2ac66716357066b683fb0baf55f8191a2e. (CVE-2019-11478)

  - Jonathan Looney discovered that the Linux kernel default MSS is hard-coded to 48 bytes. This allows a     remote peer to fragment TCP resend queues significantly more than if a larger MSS were enforced. A remote     attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kernel releases     4.4.182, 4.9.182, 4.14.127, 4.19.52, 5.1.11, and is fixed in commits     967c05aee439e6e5d7d805e195b3a20ef5c433d6 and 5f3e2bf008c2221478101ee72f5cb4654b9fc363. (CVE-2019-11479)

  - The Siemens R3964 line discipline driver in drivers/tty/n_r3964.c in the Linux kernel before 5.0.8 has     multiple race conditions. (CVE-2019-11486)

  - The do_hidp_sock_ioctl function in net/bluetooth/hidp/sock.c in the Linux kernel before 5.0.15 allows a     local user to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a HIDPCONNADD command,     because a name field may not end with a '\0' character. (CVE-2019-11884)

  - The mincore() implementation in mm/mincore.c in the Linux kernel through 4.19.13 allowed local attackers     to observe page cache access patterns of other processes on the same system, potentially allowing sniffing     of secret information. (Fixing this affects the output of the fincore program.) Limited remote     exploitation may be possible, as demonstrated by latency differences in accessing public files from an     Apache HTTP Server. (CVE-2019-5489)

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

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-3871-2 advisory.

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3871-3 advisory.

  - 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)

  - Linux kernel is vulnerable to a stack-out-of-bounds write in the ext4 filesystem code when mounting and     writing to a crafted ext4 image in ext4_update_inline_data(). An attacker could use this to cause a system     crash and a denial of service. (CVE-2018-10880)

  - 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)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem. A local user can cause an out-of-bounds write in     jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(), a denial of service, and a system crash by mounting and operating on a     crafted ext4 filesystem image. (CVE-2018-10883)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel where an attacker may be able to have an uncontrolled read to kernel-     memory from within a vm guest. A race condition between connect() and close() function may allow an     attacker using the AF_VSOCK protocol to gather a 4 byte information leak or possibly intercept or corrupt     AF_VSOCK messages destined to other clients. (CVE-2018-14625)

  - A use-after-free issue was found in the way the Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor processed posted interrupts     when nested(=1) virtualization is enabled. In nested_get_vmcs12_pages(), in case of an error while     processing posted interrupt address, it unmaps the 'pi_desc_page' without resetting 'pi_desc' descriptor     address, which is later used in pi_test_and_clear_on(). A guest user/process could use this flaw to crash     the host kernel resulting in DoS or potentially gain privileged access to a system. Kernel versions before     4.14.91 and before 4.19.13 are vulnerable. (CVE-2018-16882)

  - An issue was discovered in the proc_pid_stack function in fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel through     4.18.11. It does not ensure that only root may inspect the kernel stack of an arbitrary task, allowing a     local attacker to exploit racy stack unwinding and leak kernel task stack contents. (CVE-2018-17972)

  - Since Linux kernel version 3.2, the mremap() syscall performs TLB flushes after dropping pagetable locks.
    If a syscall such as ftruncate() removes entries from the pagetables of a task that is in the middle of     mremap(), a stale TLB entry can remain for a short time that permits access to a physical page after it     has been released back to the page allocator and reused. This is fixed in the following kernel versions:
    4.9.135, 4.14.78, 4.18.16, 4.19. (CVE-2018-18281)

  - The vcpu_scan_ioapic function in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the Linux kernel through 4.19.2 allows local users     to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and BUG) via crafted system calls that reach a     situation where ioapic is uninitialized. (CVE-2018-19407)

  - In hid_debug_events_read of drivers/hid/hid-debug.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a     missing bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges     needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Product: Android Versions: Android kernel Android     ID: A-71361580. (CVE-2018-9516)
