The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:2289 advisory.

  - kernel: double free may be caused by the function allocate_trace_buffer in the file kernel/trace/trace.c     (CVE-2017-18595)

  - kernel: Heap overflow in mwifiex_uap_parse_tail_ies function in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/ie.c     (CVE-2019-10126)

  - kernel: use-after-free in __blk_add_trace in kernel/trace/blktrace.c (CVE-2019-19768)

  - kernel: Heap overflow in mwifiex_update_bss_desc_with_ie function in marvell/mwifiex/scan.c     (CVE-2019-3846)

  - Kernel: NetLabel: null pointer dereference while receiving CIPSO packet with null category may cause     kernel panic (CVE-2020-10711)

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

It was discovered that a heap buffer overflow existed in the Marvell Wireless LAN device driver for the Linux kernel. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-10126)

Amit Klein and Benny Pinkas discovered that the Linux kernel did not sufficiently randomize IP ID values generated for connectionless networking protocols. A remote attacker could use this to track particular Linux devices. (CVE-2019-10638)

It was discovered that a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability existed in the Near-field communication (NFC) implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2019-12984)

Jann Horn discovered a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel when accessing LDT entries in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-13233)

Jann Horn discovered that the ptrace implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly record credentials in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly gain administrative privileges. (CVE-2019-13272)

It was discovered that the floppy driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate meta data, leading to a buffer overread. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2019-14283)

It was discovered that the floppy driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate ioctl() calls, leading to a division-by-zero. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2019-14284)

It was discovered that the Marvell Wireless LAN device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate the BSS descriptor. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-3846)

Jason Wang discovered that an infinite loop vulnerability existed in the virtio net driver in the Linux kernel. A local attacker in a guest VM could possibly use this to cause a denial of service in the host system. (CVE-2019-3900).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFS41+ subsystem.
    NFS41+ shares mounted in different network namespaces at     the same time can make bc_svc_process() use wrong back-     channel IDs and cause a use-after-free vulnerability.
    Thus a malicious container user can cause a host kernel     memory corruption and a system panic. Due to the nature     of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled     out. (CVE-2018-16884)

  - Insufficient input validation in Kernel Mode Driver in     Intel(R) i915 Graphics for Linux before version 5.0 may     allow an authenticated user to potentially enable     escalation of privilege via local access.
    (CVE-2019-11085)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFS     implementation, all versions 3.x and all versions 4.x up     to 4.20. An attacker, who is able to mount an exported     NFS filesystem, is able to trigger a null pointer     dereference by using an invalid NFS sequence. This can     panic the machine and deny access to the NFS server. Any     outstanding disk writes to the NFS server will be lost.
    (CVE-2018-16871)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.0.4. There is a use-after-free upon attempted read     access to /proc/ioports after the ipmi_si module is     removed, related to drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c,     drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_mem_io.c, and     drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_port_io.c. (CVE-2019-11811)

  - A flaw was found in the way Linux kernel KVM hypervisor     before 4.18 emulated instructions such as     sgdt/sidt/fxsave/fxrstor. It did not check current     privilege(CPL) level while emulating unprivileged     instructions. An unprivileged guest user/process could     use this flaw to potentially escalate privileges inside     guest. (CVE-2018-10853)

  - 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)

  - drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.17.11 allows ucma_leave_multicast to access a     certain data structure after a cleanup step in     ucma_process_join, which allows attackers to cause a     denial of service (use-after-free). (CVE-2018-14734)

  - arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c in the Linux kernel before     4.18.1 mishandles certain indirect calls, which makes it     easier for attackers to conduct Spectre-v2 attacks     against paravirtual guests. (CVE-2018-15594)

  - 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)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     4.18.7. In block/blk-core.c, there is an
    __blk_drain_queue() use-after-free because a certain     error case is mishandled. (CVE-2018-20856)

  - In the hidp_process_report in bluetooth, there is an     integer overflow. This could lead to an out of bounds     write with no additional execution privileges needed.
    User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
    Product: Android Versions: Android kernel Android ID:
    A-65853588 References: Upstream kernel. (CVE-2018-9363)

  - In pppol2tp_connect, there is possible memory corruption     due to a use after free. 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-38159931. (CVE-2018-9517)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A heap based     buffer overflow in mwifiex_uap_parse_tail_ies function     in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/ie.c might lead     to memory corruption and possibly other consequences.
    (CVE-2019-10126)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     certain central processing units (CPU) speculatively     access memory, aka 'Windows Kernel Information     Disclosure Vulnerability'. This CVE ID is unique from     CVE-2019-1071, CVE-2019-1073. (CVE-2019-1125)

  - The coredump implementation in the Linux kernel before     5.0.10 does not use locking or other mechanisms to     prevent vma layout or vma flags changes while it runs,     which allows local users to obtain sensitive     information, cause a denial of service, or possibly have     unspecified other impact by triggering a race condition     with mmget_not_zero or get_task_mm calls. This is     related to fs/userfaultfd.c, mm/mmap.c,     fs/proc/task_mmu.c, and     drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c. (CVE-2019-11599)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.0.7. A NULL pointer dereference can occur when     megasas_create_frame_pool() fails in     megasas_alloc_cmds() in     drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c. This causes a     Denial of Service, related to a use-after-free.
    (CVE-2019-11810)

  - fs/ext4/extents.c in the Linux kernel through 5.1.2 does     not zero out the unused memory region in the extent tree     block, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive     information by reading uninitialized data in the     filesystem. (CVE-2019-11833)

  - An out-of-bounds access issue was found in the Linux     kernel, all versions through 5.3, in the way Linux     kernel's KVM hypervisor implements the Coalesced MMIO     write operation. It operates on an MMIO ring buffer     'struct kvm_coalesced_mmio' object, wherein write     indices 'ring->first' and 'ring->last' value could be     supplied by a host user-space process. An unprivileged     host user or process with access to '/dev/kvm' device     could use this flaw to crash the host kernel, resulting     in a denial of service or potentially escalating     privileges on the system. (CVE-2019-14821)

  - A buffer overflow flaw was found, in versions from     2.6.34 to 5.2.x, in the way Linux kernel's vhost     functionality that translates virtqueue buffers to IOVs,     logged the buffer descriptors during migration. A     privileged guest user able to pass descriptors with     invalid length to the host when migration is underway,     could use this flaw to increase their privileges on the     host. (CVE-2019-14835)

  - A heap address information leak while using     L2CAP_GET_CONF_OPT was discovered in the Linux kernel     before 5.1-rc1. (CVE-2019-3459)

  - A heap data infoleak in multiple locations including     L2CAP_PARSE_CONF_RSP was found in the Linux kernel     before 5.1-rc1. (CVE-2019-3460)

  - A flaw that allowed an attacker to corrupt memory and     possibly escalate privileges was found in the mwifiex     kernel module while connecting to a malicious wireless     network. (CVE-2019-3846)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's vfio interface     implementation that permits violation of the user's     locked memory limit. If a device is bound to a vfio     driver, such as vfio-pci, and the local attacker is     administratively granted ownership of the device, it may     cause a system memory exhaustion and thus a denial of     service (DoS). Versions 3.10, 4.14 and 4.18 are     vulnerable. (CVE-2019-3882)

  - An infinite loop issue was found in the vhost_net kernel     module in Linux Kernel up to and including v5.1-rc6,     while handling incoming packets in handle_rx(). It could     occur if one end sends packets faster than the other end     can process them. A guest user, maybe remote one, could     use this flaw to stall the vhost_net kernel thread,     resulting in a DoS scenario. (CVE-2019-3900)

  - 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)

  - The Bluetooth BR/EDR specification up to and including     version 5.1 permits sufficiently low encryption key     length and does not prevent an attacker from influencing     the key length negotiation. This allows practical brute-     force attacks (aka KNOB) that can decrypt traffic and     inject arbitrary ciphertext without the victim noticing.
    (CVE-2019-9506)

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