According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Linux kernel built with the KVM visualization support     (CONFIG_KVM), with nested visualization(nVMX) feature     enabled(nested=1), is vulnerable to host memory leakage     issue. It could occur while emulating VMXON instruction     in 'handle_vmon'. An L1 guest user could use this flaw     to leak host memory potentially resulting in     DoS.(CVE-2017-2596i1/4%0

  - The (1) BPF_S_ANC_NLATTR and (2) BPF_S_ANC_NLATTR_NEST     extension implementations in the sk_run_filter function     in net/core/filter.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.3     do not check whether a certain length value is     sufficiently large, which allows local users to cause a     denial of service (integer underflow and system crash)     via crafted BPF instructions. NOTE: the affected code     was moved to the __skb_get_nlattr and
    __skb_get_nlattr_nest functions before the     vulnerability was announced.(CVE-2014-3144i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel when freeing pages     in hugetlbfs. This could trigger a local denial of     service by crashing the kernel.(CVE-2017-15127i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.8.
    Incorrect access checking in overlayfs mounts could be     used by local attackers to modify or truncate files in     the underlying filesystem.(CVE-2018-16597i1/4%0

  - Memory leak in the cuse_channel_release function in     fs/fuse/cuse.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4 allows     local users to cause a denial of service (memory     consumption) or possibly have unspecified other impact     by opening /dev/cuse many times.(CVE-2015-1339i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's nested     NMI handler and espfix64 functionalities interacted     during NMI processing. A local, unprivileged user could     use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially,     escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2015-3290i1/4%0

  - Multiple array index errors in     drivers/hid/hid-multitouch.c in the Human Interface     Device (HID) subsystem in the Linux kernel through     3.11, when CONFIG_HID_MULTITOUCH is enabled, allow     physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of     service (heap memory corruption, or NULL pointer     dereference and OOPS) via a crafted     device.(CVE-2013-2897i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's futex     subsystem handled the requeuing of certain Priority     Inheritance (PI) futexes. A local, unprivileged user     could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2014-3153i1/4%0

  - The XFS subsystem in the Linux kernel 4.4 and later     allows local users to cause a denial of service     (fdatasync() failure and system hang) by using the vfs     syscall group in the 'trinity' program, as a result of     a page lock order bug in the XFS seek hole/data     implementation.(CVE-2016-8660i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's key management     system where it was possible for an attacker to     escalate privileges or crash the machine. If a user key     gets negatively instantiated, an error code is cached     in the payload area. A negatively instantiated key may     be then be positively instantiated by updating it with     valid data. However, the -i1/4zupdate key type method     must be aware that the error code may be     there.(CVE-2015-8539i1/4%0

  - It was found that the Linux kernel KVM subsystem's     sysenter instruction emulation was not sufficient. An     unprivileged guest user could use this flaw to escalate     their privileges by tricking the hypervisor to emulate     a SYSENTER instruction in 16-bit mode, if the guest OS     did not initialize the SYSENTER model-specific     registers (MSRs). Note: Certified guest operating     systems for Red Hat Enterprise Linux with KVM do     initialize the SYSENTER MSRs and are thus not     vulnerable to this issue when running on a KVM     hypervisor.(CVE-2015-0239i1/4%0

  - An information leak flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel handled media device enumerate entities IOCTL     requests. A local user able to access the /dev/media0     device file could use this flaw to leak kernel memory     bytes.(CVE-2014-1739i1/4%0

  - The dgnc_mgmt_ioctl function in     drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc_mgmt.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.3.3 does not initialize a certain structure     member, which allows local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory via a crafted     application.(CVE-2015-7885i1/4%0

  - A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's     implementation of VFIO. An attacker issuing an ioctl     can create a situation where memory is corrupted and     modify memory outside of the expected area. This may     overwrite kernel memory and subvert kernel     execution.(CVE-2016-9083i1/4%0

  - It was found that the Linux kernel's KVM subsystem did     not handle the VM exits gracefully for the invvpid     (Invalidate Translations Based on VPID) instructions.
    On hosts with an Intel processor and invppid VM exit     support, an unprivileged guest user could use these     instructions to crash the guest.(CVE-2014-3646i1/4%0

  - An attacker on a network could abuse a flaw in the IPv6     stack fragment reassembly code to induce kernel memory     corruption on the system, possibly leading to a system     crash.(CVE-2016-9755i1/4%0

  - It was found that a regular user could remove xattr     permissions on files by using the chown or write system     calls. A local attacker could use this flaw to deny     elevated permissions from valid users, services, or     applications, potentially resulting in a denial of     service.(CVE-2015-1350i1/4%0

  - arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S in the Linux     kernel through 4.7 on PowerPC platforms, when     CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_64_HV is enabled, allows guest OS     users to cause a denial of service (host OS infinite     loop) by making a H_CEDE hypercall during the existence     of a suspended transaction.(CVE-2016-5412i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the proc_pid_stack function     in fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel. An attacker with     a local account can trick the stack unwinder code to     leak stack contents to userspace. The fix allows only     root to inspect the kernel stack of an arbitrary     task.(CVE-2018-17972i1/4%0

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in the Linux kernel :

kernel/auditsc.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.5, when CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL is enabled with certain syscall rules, allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive single-bit values from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (OOPS) via a large value of a syscall number (CVE-2014-3917).

The futex_requeue function in kernel/futex.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.5 does not ensure that calls have two different futex addresses, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted FUTEX_REQUEUE command that facilitates unsafe waiter modification (CVE-2014-3153).

Race condition in the ath_tx_aggr_sleep function in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/xmit.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a large amount of network traffic that triggers certain list deletions (CVE-2014-2672).

The (1) BPF_S_ANC_NLATTR and (2) BPF_S_ANC_NLATTR_NEST extension implementations in the sk_run_filter function in net/core/filter.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.3 do not check whether a certain length value is sufficiently large, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (integer underflow and system crash) via crafted BPF instructions. NOTE: the affected code was moved to the
__skb_get_nlattr and __skb_get_nlattr_nest functions before the vulnerability was announced (CVE-2014-3144).

The BPF_S_ANC_NLATTR_NEST extension implementation in the sk_run_filter function in net/core/filter.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.3 uses the reverse order in a certain subtraction, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (over-read and system crash) via crafted BPF instructions. NOTE: the affected code was moved to the __skb_get_nlattr_nest function before the vulnerability was announced (CVE-2014-3145).

Integer overflow in the ping_init_sock function in net/ipv4/ping.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) or possibly gain privileges via a crafted application that leverages an improperly managed reference counter (CVE-2014-2851).

The n_tty_write function in drivers/tty/n_tty.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.3 does not properly manage tty driver access in the LECHO !OPOST case, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) or gain privileges by triggering a race condition involving read and write operations with long strings (CVE-2014-0196).

The raw_cmd_copyout function in drivers/block/floppy.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.3 does not properly restrict access to certain pointers during processing of an FDRAWCMD ioctl call, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel heap memory by leveraging write access to a /dev/fd device (CVE-2014-1738).

The raw_cmd_copyin function in drivers/block/floppy.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.3 does not properly handle error conditions during processing of an FDRAWCMD ioctl call, which allows local users to trigger kfree operations and gain privileges by leveraging write access to a /dev/fd device (CVE-2014-1737).

The rds_iw_laddr_check function in net/rds/iw.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a bind system call for an RDS socket on a system that lacks RDS transports (CVE-2014-2678).

drivers/vhost/net.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13.10, when mergeable buffers are disabled, does not properly validate packet lengths, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and host OS crash) or possibly gain privileges on the host OS via crafted packets, related to the handle_rx and get_rx_bufs functions (CVE-2014-0077).

The ip6_route_add function in net/ipv6/route.c in the Linux kernel through 3.13.6 does not properly count the addition of routes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a flood of ICMPv6 Router Advertisement packets (CVE-2014-2309).

Multiple array index errors in drivers/hid/hid-multitouch.c in the Human Interface Device (HID) subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.11, when CONFIG_HID_MULTITOUCH is enabled, allow physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption, or NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) via a crafted device (CVE-2013-2897).

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto_dccp.c in the Linux kernel through 3.13.6 uses a DCCP header pointer incorrectly, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a DCCP packet that triggers a call to the (1) dccp_new, (2) dccp_packet, or (3) dccp_error function (CVE-2014-2523).

Race condition in the mac80211 subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.13.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via network traffic that improperly interacts with the WLAN_STA_PS_STA state (aka power-save mode), related to sta_info.c and tx.c (CVE-2014-2706).

The sctp_sf_do_5_1D_ce function in net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c in the Linux kernel through 3.13.6 does not validate certain auth_enable and auth_capable fields before making an sctp_sf_authenticate call, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via an SCTP handshake with a modified INIT chunk and a crafted AUTH chunk before a COOKIE_ECHO chunk (CVE-2014-0101).

The cifs_iovec_write function in fs/cifs/file.c in the Linux kernel through 3.13.5 does not properly handle uncached write operations that copy fewer than the requested number of bytes, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory, cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash), or possibly gain privileges via a writev system call with a crafted pointer (CVE-2014-0069).
