The remote Oracle Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2020-5670 advisory.

  - The Broadcom brcmfmac WiFi driver prior to commit a4176ec356c73a46c07c181c6d04039fafa34a9f is vulnerable     to a frame validation bypass. If the brcmfmac driver receives a firmware event frame from a remote source,     the is_wlc_event_frame function will cause this frame to be discarded and unprocessed. If the driver     receives the firmware event frame from the host, the appropriate handler is called. This frame validation     can be bypassed if the bus used is USB (for instance by a wifi dongle). This can allow firmware event     frames from a remote source to be processed. In the worst case scenario, by sending specially-crafted WiFi     packets, a remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.
    More typically, this vulnerability will result in denial-of-service conditions. (CVE-2019-9503)

  - There is heap-based buffer overflow in kernel, all versions up to, excluding 5.3, in the marvell wifi chip     driver in Linux kernel, that allows local users to cause a denial of service(system crash) or possibly     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-14816)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel, where a Heap Overflow was found in mwifiex_set_wmm_params()     function of Marvell Wifi Driver. (CVE-2019-14815)

  - There is heap-based buffer overflow in Linux kernel, all versions up to, excluding 5.3, in the marvell     wifi chip driver in Linux kernel, that allows local users to cause a denial of service(system crash) or     possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-14814)

  - The rds_inc_info_copy function in net/rds/recv.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6.3 does not initialize a     certain structure member, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack     memory by reading an RDS message. (CVE-2016-5244)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.2.10, there is a use-after-free bug that can be caused by a malicious USB     device in the drivers/hid/usbhid/hiddev.c driver, aka CID-9c09b214f30e. (CVE-2019-19527)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 3.16 through 5.5.6. set_fdc in drivers/block/floppy.c leads to     a wait_til_ready out-of-bounds read because the FDC index is not checked for errors before assigning it,     aka CID-2e90ca68b0d2. (CVE-2020-9383)

  - An issue was discovered in slc_bump in drivers/net/can/slcan.c in the Linux kernel 3.16 through 5.6.2. It     allows attackers to read uninitialized can_frame data, potentially containing sensitive information from     kernel stack memory, if the configuration lacks CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL, aka CID-b9258a2cece4.
    (CVE-2020-11494)

  - The vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl function in drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.10.7 does not validate certain levels data, which allows local users to cause a denial of     service (system hang) via a crafted ioctl call for a /dev/dri/renderD* device. (CVE-2017-7346)

  - Insufficient access control in firmware for Intel(R) Ethernet 700 Series Controllers before version 7.0     may allow a privileged user to potentially enable an escalation of privilege, denial of service, or     information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2019-0139)

  - Buffer overflow in firmware for Intel(R) Ethernet 700 Series Controllers before version 7.0 may allow an     unauthenticated user to potentially enable an escalation of privilege via an adjacent access.
    (CVE-2019-0140)

  - A memory leak in the mwifiex_pcie_alloc_cmdrsp_buf() function in     drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/pcie.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a     denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering mwifiex_map_pci_memory() failures, aka CID-     db8fd2cde932. (CVE-2019-19056)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.3.7, there is a use-after-free bug that can be caused by a malicious USB     device in the drivers/usb/misc/adutux.c driver, aka CID-44efc269db79. (CVE-2019-19523)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.3.9, there are multiple out-of-bounds write bugs that can be caused by a     malicious USB device in the Linux kernel HID drivers, aka CID-d9d4b1e46d95. This affects drivers/hid/hid-     axff.c, drivers/hid/hid-dr.c, drivers/hid/hid-emsff.c, drivers/hid/hid-gaff.c, drivers/hid/hid-holtekff.c,     drivers/hid/hid-lg2ff.c, drivers/hid/hid-lg3ff.c, drivers/hid/hid-lg4ff.c, drivers/hid/hid-lgff.c,     drivers/hid/hid-logitech-hidpp.c, drivers/hid/hid-microsoft.c, drivers/hid/hid-sony.c, drivers/hid/hid-     tmff.c, and drivers/hid/hid-zpff.c. (CVE-2019-19532)

  - There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel through 5.5.2 in the n_tty_receive_buf_common     function in drivers/tty/n_tty.c. (CVE-2020-8648)

  - Unhandled exception in firmware for Intel(R) Ethernet 700 Series Controllers before version 7.0 may allow     an authenticated user to potentially enable a denial of service via local access. (CVE-2019-0144)

  - There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel through 5.5.2 in the vc_do_resize function in     drivers/tty/vt/vt.c. (CVE-2020-8647)

  - There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel through 5.5.2 in the vgacon_invert_region     function in drivers/video/console/vgacon.c. (CVE-2020-8649)
