An issue was discovered in fs/gfs2/rgrp.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8. A use-after-free is caused by the functions gfs2_clear_rgrpd and read_rindex_entry.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:0756-1 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in fs/gfs2/rgrp.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8. A use-after-free is caused by     the functions gfs2_clear_rgrpd and read_rindex_entry. (CVE-2016-10905)

  - In unix_scm_to_skb of af_unix.c, there is a possible use after free bug due to a race condition. This     could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is     not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID: A-196926917References:
    Upstream kernel (CVE-2021-0920)

  - Non-transparent sharing of branch predictor selectors between contexts in some Intel(R) Processors may     allow an authorized user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-0001)

  - Non-transparent sharing of branch predictor within a context in some Intel(R) Processors may allow an     authorized user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-0002)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's cgroup_release_agent_write in the     kernel/cgroup/cgroup-v1.c function. This flaw, under certain circumstances, allows the use of the cgroups     v1 release_agent feature to escalate privileges and bypass the namespace isolation unexpectedly.
    (CVE-2022-0492)

  - A flaw null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel UDF file system functionality was found in the way     user triggers udf_file_write_iter function for the malicious UDF image. A local user could use this flaw     to crash the system. Actual from Linux kernel 4.2-rc1 till 5.17-rc2. (CVE-2022-0617)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/nfs/dir.c in the Linux kernel before 5.16.5. If an application sets the     O_DIRECTORY flag, and tries to open a regular file, nfs_atomic_open() performs a regular lookup. If a     regular file is found, ENOTDIR should occur, but the server instead returns uninitialized data in the file     descriptor. (CVE-2022-24448)

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

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has kernel-rt packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - The bnep_sock_ioctl function in     net/bluetooth/bnep/sock.c in the Linux kernel before     2.6.39 does not ensure that a certain device field ends     with a '\0' character, which allows local users to     obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel     stack memory, or cause a denial of service (BUG and     system crash), via a BNEPCONNADD command.
    (CVE-2011-1079)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/gfs2/rgrp.c in the Linux     kernel before 4.8. A use-after-free is caused by the     functions gfs2_clear_rgrpd and read_rindex_entry.
    (CVE-2016-10905)

  - An issue was discovered in     drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.13. There is potential exposure of kernel stack     memory because aac_get_hba_info does not initialize the     hbainfo structure. (CVE-2017-18550)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     4.14.11. A double free may be caused by the function     allocate_trace_buffer in the file kernel/trace/trace.c.
    (CVE-2017-18595)

  - Improper invalidation for page table updates by a     virtual guest operating system for multiple Intel(R)     Processors may allow an authenticated user to     potentially enable denial of service of the host system     via local access. (CVE-2018-12207)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.20.
    There is a race condition in smp_task_timedout() and     smp_task_done() in drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c,     leading to a use-after-free. (CVE-2018-20836)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     4.18.7. In create_qp_common in     drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/qp.c, mlx5_ib_create_qp_resp     was never initialized, resulting in a leak of stack     memory to userspace. (CVE-2018-20855)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/xfs/xfs_super.c in the     Linux kernel before 4.18. A use after free exists,     related to xfs_fs_fill_super failure. (CVE-2018-20976)

  - In the tun subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.13.14,     dev_get_valid_name is not called before     register_netdevice. This allows local users to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and panic)     via an ioctl(TUNSETIFF) call with a dev name containing     a / character. This is similar to CVE-2013-4343.
    (CVE-2018-7191)

  - Insufficient access control in subsystem for Intel (R)     processor graphics in 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th Generation     Intel(R) Core(TM) Processor Families; Intel(R)     Pentium(R) Processor J, N, Silver and Gold Series;
    Intel(R) Celeron(R) Processor J, N, G3900 and G4900     Series; Intel(R) Atom(R) Processor A and E3900 Series;
    Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor E3-1500 v5 and v6 and E-2100     Processor Families may allow an authenticated user to     potentially enable denial of service via local access.
    (CVE-2019-0154)

  - Insufficient access control in a subsystem for Intel (R)     processor graphics in 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th Generation     Intel(R) Core(TM) Processor Families; Intel(R)     Pentium(R) Processor J, N, Silver and Gold Series;
    Intel(R) Celeron(R) Processor J, N, G3900 and G4900     Series; Intel(R) Atom(R) Processor A and E3900 Series;
    Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor E3-1500 v5 and v6, E-2100 and     E-2200 Processor Families; Intel(R) Graphics Driver for     Windows before 26.20.100.6813 (DCH) or 26.20.100.6812     and before 21.20.x.5077 (aka15.45.5077), i915 Linux     Driver for Intel(R) Processor Graphics before versions     5.4-rc7, 5.3.11, 4.19.84, 4.14.154, 4.9.201, 4.4.201 may     allow an authenticated user to potentially enable     escalation of privilege via local access.
    (CVE-2019-0155)

  - TSX Asynchronous Abort condition on some CPUs utilizing     speculative execution may allow an authenticated user to     potentially enable information disclosure via a side     channel with local access. (CVE-2019-11135)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.1-rc5 allows page->_refcount     reference count overflow, with resultant use-after-free     issues, if about 140 GiB of RAM exists. This is related     to fs/fuse/dev.c, fs/pipe.c, fs/splice.c,     include/linux/mm.h, include/linux/pipe_fs_i.h,     kernel/trace/trace.c, mm/gup.c, and mm/hugetlb.c. It can     occur with FUSE requests. (CVE-2019-11487)

  - The do_hidp_sock_ioctl function in     net/bluetooth/hidp/sock.c in the Linux kernel before     5.0.15 allows a local user to obtain potentially     sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a     HIDPCONNADD command, because a name field may not end     with a '\0' character. (CVE-2019-11884)

  - ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in     drm_load_edid_firmware in     drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid_load.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.1.5. There is an unchecked kstrdup of fwstr,     which might allow an attacker to cause a denial of     service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash).
    NOTE: The vendor disputes this issues as not being a     vulnerability because kstrdup() returning NULL is     handled sufficiently and there is no chance for a NULL     pointer dereference. (CVE-2019-12382)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.2.3. There is a use-after-free caused by a malicious     USB device in the drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-     init.c driver. (CVE-2019-15213)

  - An issue was discovered in xfs_setattr_nonsize in     fs/xfs/xfs_iops.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.9. XFS     partially wedges when a chgrp fails on account of being     out of disk quota. xfs_setattr_nonsize is failing to     unlock the ILOCK after the xfs_qm_vop_chown_reserve call     fails. This is primarily a local DoS attack vector, but     it might result as well in remote DoS if the XFS     filesystem is exported for instance via NFS.
    (CVE-2019-15538)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.1.13, there is a memory     leak in drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c when SAS     expander discovery fails. This will cause a BUG and     denial of service. (CVE-2019-15807)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.0.1. There is a memory leak in     register_queue_kobjects() in net/core/net-sysfs.c, which     will cause denial of service. (CVE-2019-15916)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.0.4. The 9p filesystem did not protect i_size_write()     properly, which causes an i_size_read() infinite loop     and denial of service on SMP systems. (CVE-2019-16413)

  - An issue was discovered in write_tpt_entry in     drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/mem.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.3.2. The cxgb4 driver is directly calling     dma_map_single (a DMA function) from a stack variable.
    This could allow an attacker to trigger a Denial of     Service, exploitable if this driver is used on an     architecture for which this stack/DMA interaction has     security relevance. (CVE-2019-17075)

  - The SCTP socket buffer used by a userspace application     is not accounted by the cgroups subsystem. An attacker     can use this flaw to cause a denial of service attack.
    Kernel 3.10.x and 4.18.x branches are believed to be     vulnerable. (CVE-2019-3874)

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

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - The bnep_sock_ioctl function in     net/bluetooth/bnep/sock.c in the Linux kernel before     2.6.39 does not ensure that a certain device field ends     with a '\0' character, which allows local users to     obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel     stack memory, or cause a denial of service (BUG and     system crash), via a BNEPCONNADD command.
    (CVE-2011-1079)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/gfs2/rgrp.c in the Linux     kernel before 4.8. A use-after-free is caused by the     functions gfs2_clear_rgrpd and read_rindex_entry.
    (CVE-2016-10905)

  - An issue was discovered in     drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.13. There is potential exposure of kernel stack     memory because aac_get_hba_info does not initialize the     hbainfo structure. (CVE-2017-18550)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     4.14.11. A double free may be caused by the function     allocate_trace_buffer in the file kernel/trace/trace.c.
    (CVE-2017-18595)

  - Improper invalidation for page table updates by a     virtual guest operating system for multiple Intel(R)     Processors may allow an authenticated user to     potentially enable denial of service of the host system     via local access. (CVE-2018-12207)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.20.
    There is a race condition in smp_task_timedout() and     smp_task_done() in drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c,     leading to a use-after-free. (CVE-2018-20836)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     4.18.7. In create_qp_common in     drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/qp.c, mlx5_ib_create_qp_resp     was never initialized, resulting in a leak of stack     memory to userspace. (CVE-2018-20855)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/xfs/xfs_super.c in the     Linux kernel before 4.18. A use after free exists,     related to xfs_fs_fill_super failure. (CVE-2018-20976)

  - In the tun subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.13.14,     dev_get_valid_name is not called before     register_netdevice. This allows local users to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and panic)     via an ioctl(TUNSETIFF) call with a dev name containing     a / character. This is similar to CVE-2013-4343.
    (CVE-2018-7191)

  - Insufficient access control in subsystem for Intel (R)     processor graphics in 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th Generation     Intel(R) Core(TM) Processor Families; Intel(R)     Pentium(R) Processor J, N, Silver and Gold Series;
    Intel(R) Celeron(R) Processor J, N, G3900 and G4900     Series; Intel(R) Atom(R) Processor A and E3900 Series;

    (CVE-2019-0155)

  - TSX Asynchronous Abort condition on some CPUs utilizing     speculative execution may allow an authenticated user to     potentially enable information disclosure via a side     channel with local access. (CVE-2019-11135)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.1-rc5 allows page->_refcount     reference count overflow, with resultant use-after-free     issues, if about 140 GiB of RAM exists. This is related     to fs/fuse/dev.c, fs/pipe.c, fs/splice.c,     include/linux/mm.h, include/linux/pipe_fs_i.h,     kernel/trace/trace.c, mm/gup.c, and mm/hugetlb.c. It can     occur with FUSE requests. (CVE-2019-11487)

  - The do_hidp_sock_ioctl function in     net/bluetooth/hidp/sock.c in the Linux kernel before     5.0.15 allows a local user to obtain potentially     sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a     HIDPCONNADD command, because a name field may not end     with a '\0' character. (CVE-2019-11884)

  - ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in     drm_load_edid_firmware in     drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid_load.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.1.5. There is an unchecked kstrdup of fwstr,     which might allow an attacker to cause a denial of     service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash).
    NOTE: The vendor disputes this issues as not being a     vulnerability because kstrdup() returning NULL is     handled sufficiently and there is no chance for a NULL     pointer dereference. (CVE-2019-12382)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.2.3. There is a use-after-free caused by a malicious     USB device in the drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-     init.c driver. (CVE-2019-15213)

  - An issue was discovered in xfs_setattr_nonsize in     fs/xfs/xfs_iops.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.9. XFS     partially wedges when a chgrp fails on account of being     out of disk quota. xfs_setattr_nonsize is failing to     unlock the ILOCK after the xfs_qm_vop_chown_reserve call     fails. This is primarily a local DoS attack vector, but     it might result as well in remote DoS if the XFS     filesystem is exported for instance via NFS.
    (CVE-2019-15538)
