According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel Traffic Control (TC) subsystem. Using a specific networking     configuration (redirecting egress packets to ingress using TC action 'mirred') a local unprivileged user     could trigger a CPU soft lockup (ABBA deadlock) when the transport protocol in use (TCP or SCTP) does a     retransmission, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2022-4269)

  - A speculative pointer dereference problem exists in the Linux Kernel on the do_prlimit() function. The     resource argument value is controlled and is used in pointer arithmetic for the 'rlim' variable and can be     used to leak the contents. We recommend upgrading past version 6.1.8 or commit     739790605705ddcf18f21782b9c99ad7d53a8c11 (CVE-2023-0458)

  - A hash collision flaw was found in the IPv6 connection lookup table in the Linux kernel's IPv6     functionality when a user makes a new kind of SYN flood attack. A user located in the local network or     with a high bandwidth connection can increase the CPU usage of the server that accepts IPV6 connections up     to 95%. (CVE-2023-1206)

  - An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's XFS file system in how a user restores     an XFS image after failure (with a dirty log journal). This flaw allows a local user to crash or     potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-2124)

  - A vulnerability was found in compare_netdev_and_ip in drivers/infiniband/core/cma.c in RDMA in the Linux     Kernel. The improper cleanup results in out-of-boundary read, where a local user can utilize this problem     to crash the system or escalation of privilege. (CVE-2023-2176)

  - A null pointer dereference issue was found in the sctp network protocol in net/sctp/stream_sched.c in     Linux Kernel. If stream_in allocation is failed, stream_out is freed which would further be accessed. A     local user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2023-2177)

  - A denial of service problem was found, due to a possible recursive locking scenario, resulting in a     deadlock in table_clear in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c in the Linux Kernel Device Mapper-Multipathing sub-     component. (CVE-2023-2269)

  - A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux Kernel ipvlan network driver can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. The out-of-bounds write is caused by missing skb->cb initialization in     the ipvlan network driver. The vulnerability is reachable if CONFIG_IPVLAN is enabled. We recommend     upgrading past commit 90cbed5247439a966b645b34eb0a2e037836ea8e. (CVE-2023-3090)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in r592_remove in drivers/memstick/host/r592.c in media access in the     Linux Kernel. This flaw allows a local attacker to crash the system at device disconnect, possibly leading     to a kernel information leak. (CVE-2023-3141)

  - qfq_change_class in net/sched/sch_qfq.c in the Linux kernel before 6.2.13 allows an out-of-bounds write     because lmax can exceed QFQ_MIN_LMAX. (CVE-2023-31436)

  - A flaw was found in the Framebuffer Console (fbcon) in the Linux Kernel. When providing font->width and     font->height greater than 32 to fbcon_set_font, since there are no checks in place, a shift-out-of-bounds     occurs leading to undefined behavior and possible denial of service. (CVE-2023-3161)

  - In the Linux kernel through 6.3.1, a use-after-free in Netfilter nf_tables when processing batch requests     can be abused to perform arbitrary read and write operations on kernel memory. Unprivileged local users     can obtain root privileges. This occurs because anonymous sets are mishandled. (CVE-2023-32233)

  - An out of bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel in relay_file_read_start_pos in     kernel/relay.c in the relayfs. This flaw could allow a local attacker to crash the system or leak kernel     internal information. (CVE-2023-3268)

  - The Linux kernel before 6.2.9 has a race condition and resultant use-after-free in     drivers/net/ethernet/qualcomm/emac/emac.c if a physically proximate attacker unplugs an emac based device.
    (CVE-2023-33203)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter subsystem in     net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c. Mishandled error handling with NFT_MSG_NEWRULE makes it possible to use a     dangling pointer in the same transaction causing a use-after-free vulnerability. This flaw allows a local     attacker with user access to cause a privilege escalation issue. We recommend upgrading past commit     1240eb93f0616b21c675416516ff3d74798fdc97. (CVE-2023-3390)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.3.3. There is an out-of-bounds read in crc16 in     lib/crc16.c when called from fs/ext4/super.c because ext4_group_desc_csum does not properly check an     offset. NOTE: this is disputed by third parties because the kernel is not intended to defend against     attackers with the stated 'When modifying the block device while it is mounted by the filesystem' access.
    (CVE-2023-34256)

  - Linux Kernel nftables Out-Of-Bounds Read/Write Vulnerability; nft_byteorder poorly handled vm register     contents when CAP_NET_ADMIN is in any user or network namespace (CVE-2023-35001)

  - An issue was discovered in fl_set_geneve_opt in net/sched/cls_flower.c in the Linux kernel before 6.3.7.
    It allows an out-of-bounds write in the flower classifier code via TCA_FLOWER_KEY_ENC_OPTS_GENEVE packets.
    This may result in denial of service or privilege escalation. (CVE-2023-35788)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: cls_u32 component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. If tcf_change_indev() fails, u32_set_parms() will immediately return     an error after incrementing or decrementing the reference counter in tcf_bind_filter(). If an attacker can     control the reference counter and set it to zero, they can cause the reference to be freed, leading to a     use-after-free vulnerability. We recommend upgrading past commit 04c55383fa5689357bcdd2c8036725a55ed632bc.
    (CVE-2023-3609)

  - An out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_qfq component can be exploited     to achieve local privilege escalation. The qfq_change_agg() function in net/sched/sch_qfq.c allows an out-     of-bounds write because lmax is updated according to packet sizes without bounds checks. We recommend     upgrading past commit 3e337087c3b5805fe0b8a46ba622a962880b5d64. (CVE-2023-3611)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem). This issue     may allow a malicious user with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges to directly dereference a NULL pointer in     xfrm_update_ae_params(), leading to a possible kernel crash and denial of service. (CVE-2023-3772)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: cls_fw component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. If tcf_change_indev() fails, fw_set_parms() will immediately return an     error after incrementing or decrementing the reference counter in tcf_bind_filter(). If an attacker can     control the reference counter and set it to zero, they can cause the reference to be freed, leading to a     use-after-free vulnerability. We recommend upgrading past commit 0323bce598eea038714f941ce2b22541c46d488f.
    (CVE-2023-3776)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TUN/TAP functionality. This issue could allow a local user to     bypass network filters and gain unauthorized access to some resources. The original patches fixing     CVE-2023-1076 are incorrect or incomplete. The problem is that the following upstream commits -     a096ccca6e50 ('tun: tun_chr_open(): correctly initialize socket uid'), - 66b2c338adce ('tap: tap_open():
    correctly initialize socket uid'), pass 'inode->i_uid' to sock_init_data_uid() as the last parameter and     that turns out to not be accurate. (CVE-2023-4194)

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

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 ESM / 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6301-1 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.8. lib/nlattr.c allows attackers to cause a denial of     service (unbounded recursion) via a nested Netlink policy with a back reference. (CVE-2020-36691)

  - A denial of service (DOS) issue was found in the Linux kernel's smb2_ioctl_query_info function in the     fs/cifs/smb2ops.c Common Internet File System (CIFS) due to an incorrect return from the memdup_user     function. This flaw allows a local, privileged (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) attacker to crash the system.
    (CVE-2022-0168)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in fs/ext4/namei.c:dx_insert_block() in the Linux kernel's filesystem sub-     component. This flaw allows a local attacker with a user privilege to cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2022-1184)

  - When SMT is enabled, certain AMD processors may speculatively execute instructions using a target from the     sibling thread after an SMT mode switch potentially resulting in information disclosure. (CVE-2022-27672)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel Traffic Control (TC) subsystem. Using a specific networking     configuration (redirecting egress packets to ingress using TC action mirred) a local unprivileged user     could trigger a CPU soft lockup (ABBA deadlock) when the transport protocol in use (TCP or SCTP) does a     retransmission, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2022-4269)

  - 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 use-after-free flaw was found in btrfs_search_slot in fs/btrfs/ctree.c in btrfs in the Linux Kernel.This     flaw allows an attacker to crash the system and possibly cause a kernel information lea (CVE-2023-1611)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in xgene_hwmon_remove in drivers/hwmon/xgene-hwmon.c in the Hardware     Monitoring Linux Kernel Driver (xgene-hwmon). This flaw could allow a local attacker to crash the system     due to a race problem. This vulnerability could even lead to a kernel information leak problem.
    (CVE-2023-1855)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in ndlc_remove in drivers/nfc/st-nci/ndlc.c in the Linux Kernel. This flaw     could allow an attacker to crash the system due to a race problem. (CVE-2023-1990)

  - An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's XFS file system in how a user restores     an XFS image after failure (with a dirty log journal). This flaw allows a local user to crash or     potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-2124)

  - An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's SLIMpro I2C device driver. The     userspace data->block[0] variable was not capped to a number between 0-255 and was used as the size of a     memcpy, possibly writing beyond the end of dma_buffer. This flaw could allow a local privileged user to     crash the system or potentially achieve code execution. (CVE-2023-2194)

  - do_tls_getsockopt in net/tls/tls_main.c in the Linux kernel through 6.2.6 lacks a lock_sock call, leading     to a race condition (with a resultant use-after-free or NULL pointer dereference). (CVE-2023-28466)

  - The Linux kernel before 6.2.9 has a race condition and resultant use-after-free in     drivers/power/supply/da9150-charger.c if a physically proximate attacker unplugs a device.
    (CVE-2023-30772)

  - A use after free vulnerability was found in prepare_to_relocate in fs/btrfs/relocation.c in btrfs in the     Linux Kernel. This possible flaw can be triggered by calling btrfs_ioctl_balance() before calling     btrfs_ioctl_defrag(). (CVE-2023-3111)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in r592_remove in drivers/memstick/host/r592.c in media access in the     Linux Kernel. This flaw allows a local attacker to crash the system at device disconnect, possibly leading     to a kernel information leak. (CVE-2023-3141)

  - The Linux kernel before 6.2.9 has a race condition and resultant use-after-free in     drivers/net/ethernet/qualcomm/emac/emac.c if a physically proximate attacker unplugs an emac based device.
    (CVE-2023-33203)
