Buffer overflow in text-utils/colcrt.c in colcrt in util-linux before 2.27 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file, related to the page global variable.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - util-linux: runuser tty hijack via TIOCSTI ioctl (CVE-2016-2779)

  - Blkid in util-linux before 2.26rc-1 allows local users to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-9114)

  - Buffer overflow in text-utils/colcrt.c in colcrt in util-linux before 2.27 allows local users to cause a     denial of service (crash) via a crafted file, related to the page global variable. (CVE-2015-5218)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - util-linux: mount folder existence information disclosure (CVE-2013-0157)

  - util-linux: Extended partition loop in MBR partition table leads to DOS (CVE-2016-5011)

  - Buffer overflow in text-utils/colcrt.c in colcrt in util-linux before 2.27 allows local users to cause a     denial of service (crash) via a crafted file, related to the page global variable. (CVE-2015-5218)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - util-linux: command injection flaw in blkid (CVE-2014-9114)

  - Buffer overflow in text-utils/colcrt.c in colcrt in util-linux before 2.27 allows local users to cause a     denial of service (crash) via a crafted file, related to the page global variable. (CVE-2015-5218)

  - The parse_dos_extended function in partitions/dos.c in the libblkid library in util-linux allows     physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted MSDOS     partition table with an extended partition boot record at zero offset. (CVE-2016-5011)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

According to the version of the util-linux package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - Buffer overflow in text-utils/colcrt.c in colcrt in     util-linux before 2.27 allows local users to cause a     denial of service (crash) via a crafted file, related     to the page global variable.(CVE-2015-5218)
