  - A flaw possibility of race condition and incorrect initialization of the process id was found in the Linux     kernel child/parent process identification handling while filtering signal handlers. A local attacker is     able to abuse this flaw to bypass checks to send any signal to a privileged process. (CVE-2020-35508)

  - A denial of service vulnerability was found in n_tty_receive_char_special in drivers/tty/n_tty.c of the     Linux kernel. In this flaw a local attacker with a normal user privilege could delay the loop (due to a     changing ldata->read_head, and a missing sanity check) and cause a threat to the system availability.
    (CVE-2021-20219)

  - A race condition was found in the Linux kernels implementation of the floppy disk drive controller driver     software. The impact of this issue is lessened by the fact that the default permissions on the floppy     device (/dev/fd0) are restricted to root. If the permissions on the device have changed the impact changes     greatly. In the default configuration root (or equivalent) permissions are required to attack this flaw.
    (CVE-2021-20261)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3, as used with Xen PV. A certain part of the     netback driver lacks necessary treatment of errors such as failed memory allocations (as a result of     changes to the handling of grant mapping errors). A host OS denial of service may occur during misbehavior     of a networking frontend driver. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2021-26931.
    (CVE-2021-28038)

  - The fix for XSA-365 includes initialization of pointers such that subsequent cleanup code wouldn't use     uninitialized or stale values. This initialization went too far and may under certain conditions also     overwrite pointers which are in need of cleaning up. The lack of cleanup would result in leaking     persistent grants. The leak in turn would prevent fully cleaning up after a respective guest has died,     leaving around zombie domains. All Linux versions having the fix for XSA-365 applied are vulnerable.
    XSA-365 was classified to affect versions back to at least 3.11. (CVE-2021-28688)

  - A race condition was discovered in get_old_root in fs/btrfs/ctree.c in the Linux kernel through 5.11.8. It     allows attackers to cause a denial of service (BUG) because of a lack of locking on an extent buffer     before a cloning operation, aka CID-dbcc7d57bffc. (CVE-2021-28964)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.11. The netfilter subsystem allows attackers to     cause a denial of service (panic) because net/netfilter/x_tables.c and include/linux/netfilter/x_tables.h     lack a full memory barrier upon the assignment of a new table value, aka CID-175e476b8cdf.

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4751-1 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A use-after-free was found in the way the console subsystem was     using ioctls KDGKBSENT and KDSKBSENT. A local user could use this flaw to get read memory access out of     bounds. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality. (CVE-2020-25656)

  - A flaw was found in Linux Kernel because access to the global variable fg_console is not properly     synchronized leading to a use after free in con_font_op. (CVE-2020-25668)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux Kernel where the function sunkbd_reinit having been scheduled by     sunkbd_interrupt before sunkbd being freed. Though the dangling pointer is set to NULL in     sunkbd_disconnect, there is still an alias in sunkbd_reinit causing Use After Free. (CVE-2020-25669)

  - A flaw memory leak in the Linux kernel performance monitoring subsystem was found in the way if using     PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_FILTER. A local user could use this flaw to starve the resources causing denial of     service. (CVE-2020-25704)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.9.1, as used with Xen through 4.14.x. Guest OS users     can cause a denial of service (host OS hang) via a high rate of events to dom0, aka CID-e99502f76271.
    (CVE-2020-27673)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.9.1, as used with Xen through 4.14.x.
    drivers/xen/events/events_base.c allows event-channel removal during the event-handling loop (a race     condition). This can cause a use-after-free or NULL pointer dereference, as demonstrated by a dom0 crash     via events for an in-reconfiguration paravirtualized device, aka CID-073d0552ead5. (CVE-2020-27675)

  - A flaw was found in the way RTAS handled memory accesses in userspace to kernel communication. On a locked     down (usually due to Secure Boot) guest system running on top of PowerVM or KVM hypervisors (pseries     platform) a root like local user could use this flaw to further increase their privileges to that of a     running kernel. (CVE-2020-27777)

  - A flaw was found in the JFS filesystem code in the Linux Kernel which allows a local attacker with the     ability to set extended attributes to panic the system, causing memory corruption or escalating     privileges. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system     availability. (CVE-2020-27815)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel where in the spk_ttyio_receive_buf2() function, it would     dereference spk_ttyio_synth without checking whether it is NULL or not, and may lead to a NULL-ptr deref     crash. (CVE-2020-27830)

  - A use after free in the Linux kernel infiniband hfi1 driver in versions prior to 5.10-rc6 was found in the     way user calls Ioctl after open dev file and fork. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system.
    (CVE-2020-27835)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the /proc/pid/syscall functionality of Linux Kernel 5.1     Stable and 5.4.66. More specifically, this issue has been introduced in v5.1-rc4 (commit     631b7abacd02b88f4b0795c08b54ad4fc3e7c7c0) and is still present in v5.10-rc4, so it's likely that all     versions in between are affected. An attacker can read /proc/pid/syscall to trigger this vulnerability,     which leads to the kernel leaking memory contents. (CVE-2020-28588)

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/accessibility/speakup/spk_ttyio.c in the Linux kernel through 5.9.9.
    Local attackers on systems with the speakup driver could cause a local denial of service attack, aka     CID-d41227544427. This occurs because of an invalid free when the line discipline is used more than once.
    (CVE-2020-28941)

  - A slab-out-of-bounds read in fbcon in the Linux kernel before 5.9.7 could be used by local attackers to     read privileged information or potentially crash the kernel, aka CID-3c4e0dff2095. This occurs because     KD_FONT_OP_COPY in drivers/tty/vt/vt.c can be used for manipulations such as font height. (CVE-2020-28974)

  - An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.14.x. Some OSes (such as Linux, FreeBSD, and NetBSD) are     processing watch events using a single thread. If the events are received faster than the thread is able     to handle, they will get queued. As the queue is unbounded, a guest may be able to trigger an OOM in the     backend. All systems with a FreeBSD, Linux, or NetBSD (any version) dom0 are vulnerable. (CVE-2020-29568)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.10.1, as used with Xen through 4.14.x. The Linux     kernel PV block backend expects the kernel thread handler to reset ring->xenblkd to NULL when stopped.
    However, the handler may not have time to run if the frontend quickly toggles between the states connect     and disconnect. As a consequence, the block backend may re-use a pointer after it was freed. A misbehaving     guest can trigger a dom0 crash by continuously connecting / disconnecting a block frontend. Privilege     escalation and information leaks cannot be ruled out. This only affects systems with a Linux blkback.
    (CVE-2020-29569)

  - A locking inconsistency issue was discovered in the tty subsystem of the Linux kernel through 5.9.13.
    drivers/tty/tty_io.c and drivers/tty/tty_jobctrl.c may allow a read-after-free attack against TIOCGSID,     aka CID-c8bcd9c5be24. (CVE-2020-29660)

  - A locking issue was discovered in the tty subsystem of the Linux kernel through 5.9.13.
    drivers/tty/tty_jobctrl.c allows a use-after-free attack against TIOCSPGRP, aka CID-54ffccbf053b.
    (CVE-2020-29661)

  - A flaw possibility of race condition and incorrect initialization of the process id was found in the Linux     kernel child/parent process identification handling while filtering signal handlers. A local attacker is     able to abuse this flaw to bypass checks to send any signal to a privileged process. (CVE-2020-35508)

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

  - A pivot_root race condition in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel 4.4.x before 4.4.221, 4.9.x before     4.9.221, 4.14.x before 4.14.178, 4.19.x before 4.19.119, and 5.x before 5.3 allows local users to cause a     denial of service (panic) by corrupting a mountpoint reference counter. (CVE-2020-12114)

  - Integer overflow in the firmware for some Intel(R) Graphics Drivers for Windows * before version     26.20.100.7212 and before Linux kernel version 5.5 may allow a privileged user to potentially enable an     escalation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2020-12362)

  - Improper input validation in some Intel(R) Graphics Drivers for Windows* before version 26.20.100.7212 and     before Linux kernel version 5.5 may allow a privileged user to potentially enable a denial of service via     local access. (CVE-2020-12363)

  - Null pointer reference in some Intel(R) Graphics Drivers for Windows* before version 26.20.100.7212 and     before version Linux kernel version 5.5 may allow a privileged user to potentially enable a denial of     service via local access. (CVE-2020-12364)

  - usb_sg_cancel in drivers/usb/core/message.c in the Linux kernel before 5.6.8 has a use-after-free because     a transfer occurs without a reference, aka CID-056ad39ee925. (CVE-2020-12464)

  - A memory out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the Linux kernel before 5.9-rc2 with the ext3/ext4 file     system, in the way it accesses a directory with broken indexing. This flaw allows a local user to crash     the system if the directory exists. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
    (CVE-2020-14314)

  - A flaw null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel cgroupv2 subsystem in versions before 5.7.10 was found     in the way when reboot the system. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their     privileges on the system. (CVE-2020-14356)

  - The Linux kernel before version 5.8 is vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference in     drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c:serial8250_isa_init_ports() that allows local users to cause a denial     of service by using the p->serial_in pointer which uninitialized. (CVE-2020-15437)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.7.8, fs/nfsd/vfs.c (in the NFS server) can set incorrect permissions on new     filesystem objects when the filesystem lacks ACL support, aka CID-22cf8419f131. This occurs because the     current umask is not considered. (CVE-2020-24394)

  - A TOCTOU mismatch in the NFS client code in the Linux kernel before 5.8.3 could be used by local attackers     to corrupt memory or possibly have unspecified other impact because a size check is in fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c     instead of fs/nfs/nfs4xdr.c, aka CID-b4487b935452. (CVE-2020-25212)

  - The rbd block device driver in drivers/block/rbd.c in the Linux kernel through 5.8.9 used incomplete     permission checking for access to rbd devices, which could be leveraged by local attackers to map or unmap     rbd block devices, aka CID-f44d04e696fe. (CVE-2020-25284)

  - A race condition between hugetlb sysctl handlers in mm/hugetlb.c in the Linux kernel before 5.8.8 could be     used by local attackers to corrupt memory, cause a NULL pointer dereference, or possibly have unspecified     other impact, aka CID-17743798d812. (CVE-2020-25285)

  - A flaw was found in the HDLC_PPP module of the Linux kernel in versions before 5.9-rc7. Memory corruption     and a read overflow is caused by improper input validation in the ppp_cp_parse_cr function which can cause     the system to crash or cause a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-25643)

  - A flaw memory leak in the Linux kernel performance monitoring subsystem was found in the way if using     PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_FILTER. A local user could use this flaw to starve the resources causing denial of     service. (CVE-2020-25704)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of MIDI, where an attacker with a local account and     the permissions to issue ioctl commands to midi devices could trigger a use-after-free issue. A write to     this specific memory while freed and before use causes the flow of execution to change and possibly allow     for memory corruption or privilege escalation. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-27786)

  - A use after free in the Linux kernel infiniband hfi1 driver in versions prior to 5.10-rc6 was found in the     way user calls Ioctl after open dev file and fork. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system.

The remote Oracle Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2021-9215 advisory.

  - In do_epoll_ctl and ep_loop_check_proc of eventpoll.c, there is a possible use after free due to a logic     error. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed.
    User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID:
    A-147802478References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2020-0466)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3, as used with Xen PV. A certain part of the     netback driver lacks necessary treatment of errors such as failed memory allocations (as a result of     changes to the handling of grant mapping errors). A host OS denial of service may occur during misbehavior     of a networking frontend driver. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2021-26931.
    (CVE-2021-28038)

  - In various methods of hid-multitouch.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds     check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed.

  - A flaw possibility of race condition and incorrect initialization of the process id was found in the Linux     kernel child/parent process identification handling while filtering signal handlers. A local attacker is     able to abuse this flaw to bypass checks to send any signal to a privileged process. (CVE-2020-35508)

  - A denial of service vulnerability was found in n_tty_receive_char_special in drivers/tty/n_tty.c of the     Linux kernel. In this flaw a local attacker with a normal user privilege could delay the loop (due to a     changing ldata->read_head, and a missing sanity check) and cause a threat to the system availability.
    (CVE-2021-20219)

  - A race condition was found in the Linux kernels implementation of the floppy disk drive controller driver     software. The impact of this issue is lessened by the fact that the default permissions on the floppy     device (/dev/fd0) are restricted to root. If the permissions on the device have changed the impact changes     greatly. In the default configuration root (or equivalent) permissions are required to attack this flaw.
    (CVE-2021-20261)

  - The fix for XSA-365 includes initialization of pointers such that subsequent cleanup code wouldn't use     uninitialized or stale values. This initialization went too far and may under certain conditions also     overwrite pointers which are in need of cleaning up. The lack of cleanup would result in leaking     persistent grants. The leak in turn would prevent fully cleaning up after a respective guest has died,     leaving around zombie domains. All Linux versions having the fix for XSA-365 applied are vulnerable.
    XSA-365 was classified to affect versions back to at least 3.11. (CVE-2021-28688)

  - A race condition was discovered in get_old_root in fs/btrfs/ctree.c in the Linux kernel through 5.11.8. It     allows attackers to cause a denial of service (BUG) because of a lack of locking on an extent buffer     before a cloning operation, aka CID-dbcc7d57bffc. (CVE-2021-28964)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.11. The netfilter subsystem allows attackers to     cause a denial of service (panic) because net/netfilter/x_tables.c and include/linux/netfilter/x_tables.h     lack a full memory barrier upon the assignment of a new table value, aka CID-175e476b8cdf.
