The offset2lib patch as used by the Linux Kernel contains a vulnerability, if RLIMIT_STACK is set to RLIM_INFINITY and 1 Gigabyte of memory is allocated (the maximum under the 1/4 restriction) then the stack will be grown down to 0x80000000, and as the PIE binary is mapped above 0x80000000 the minimum distance between the end of the PIE binary's read-write segment and the start of the stack becomes small enough that the stack guard page can be jumped over by an attacker. This affects Linux Kernel version 4.11.5. This is a different issue than CVE-2017-1000370 and CVE-2017-1000365. This issue appears to be limited to i386 based systems.

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.

  - kernel: out of bounds read in drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/technisat-usb2.c (CVE-2019-15505)

  - kernel: buffer-overflow hardening in WiFi beacon validation code. (CVE-2019-16746)

  - block/scsi_ioctl.c in the Linux kernel through 3.8 does not properly consider the SCSI device class during     authorization of SCSI commands, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via an     SG_IO ioctl call that leverages overlapping opcodes. (CVE-2012-4542)

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.

  - kernel: netfilter: use-after-free in tcpmss_mangle_packet function in net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c     (CVE-2017-18017)

  - The ia64 subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.26 allows local users to cause a denial of service     (stack consumption and system crash) via a crafted application that leverages the mishandling of invalid     Register Stack Engine (RSE) state. (CVE-2006-3635)

  - drivers/media/video/videobuf-vmalloc.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.24 does not initialize     videobuf_mapping data structures, which allows local users to trigger an incorrect count value and     videobuf leak via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-5321. (CVE-2007-6761)

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 NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 4.06, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - The offset2lib patch as used by the Linux Kernel contains a vulnerability, if RLIMIT_STACK is set to     RLIM_INFINITY and 1 Gigabyte of memory is allocated (the maximum under the 1/4 restriction) then the stack     will be grown down to 0x80000000, and as the PIE binary is mapped above 0x80000000 the minimum distance     between the end of the PIE binary's read-write segment and the start of the stack becomes small enough     that the stack guard page can be jumped over by an attacker. This affects Linux Kernel version 4.11.5.
    This is a different issue than CVE-2017-1000370 and CVE-2017-1000365. This issue appears to be limited to     i386 based systems. (CVE-2017-1000371)

  - The keyctl_read_key function in security/keys/keyctl.c in the Key Management subcomponent in the Linux     kernel before 4.13.5 does not properly consider that a key may be possessed but negatively instantiated,     which allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS and system crash) via a crafted KEYCTL_READ     operation. (CVE-2017-12192)

  - The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.18 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial     of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via vectors involving a NULL value for a certain     match field, related to the keyring_search_iterator function in keyring.c. (CVE-2017-2647)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - An out-of-bounds access issue was found in the Linux kernel, all versions through 5.3, in the way Linux     kernel's KVM hypervisor implements the Coalesced MMIO write operation. It operates on an MMIO ring buffer     'struct kvm_coalesced_mmio' object, wherein write indices 'ring->first' and 'ring->last' value could be     supplied by a host user-space process. An unprivileged host user or process with access to '/dev/kvm'     device could use this flaw to crash the host kernel, resulting in a denial of service or potentially     escalating privileges on the system. (CVE-2019-14821)

  - base_sock_create in drivers/isdn/mISDN/socket.c in the AF_ISDN network module in the Linux kernel through     5.3.2 does not enforce CAP_NET_RAW, which means that unprivileged users can create a raw socket, aka     CID-b91ee4aa2a21. (CVE-2019-17055)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.3.2, cfg80211_mgd_wext_giwessid in net/wireless/wext-sme.c does not reject a     long SSID IE, leading to a Buffer Overflow. (CVE-2019-17133)

  - rtl_p2p_noa_ie in drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/ps.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.6 lacks a     certain upper-bound check, leading to a buffer overflow. (CVE-2019-17666)

  - An infinite loop issue was found in the vhost_net kernel module in Linux Kernel up to and including     v5.1-rc6, while handling incoming packets in handle_rx(). It could occur if one end sends packets faster     than the other end can process them. A guest user, maybe remote one, could use this flaw to stall the     vhost_net kernel thread, resulting in a DoS scenario. (CVE-2019-3900)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SELinux subsystem in versions before 5.7.
    This flaw occurs while importing the Commercial IP Security Option (CIPSO) protocol's category bitmap into     the SELinux extensible bitmap via the' ebitmap_netlbl_import' routine. While processing the CIPSO     restricted bitmap tag in the 'cipso_v4_parsetag_rbm' routine, it sets the security attribute to indicate     that the category bitmap is present, even if it has not been allocated. This issue leads to a NULL pointer     dereference issue while importing the same category bitmap into SELinux. This flaw allows a remote network     user to crash the system kernel, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2020-10711)

  - 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 was found in the way memory resources were freed in the unix_stream_recvmsg function in the Linux     kernel when a signal was pending. This flaw allows an unprivileged local user to crash the system by     exhausting available memory. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
    (CVE-2021-20265)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c is     adversely affected by the ability of an unprivileged user to craft Netlink messages. (CVE-2021-27364)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. Certain iSCSI data structures do not have     appropriate length constraints or checks, and can exceed the PAGE_SIZE value. An unprivileged user can     send a Netlink message that is associated with iSCSI, and has a length up to the maximum length of a     Netlink message. (CVE-2021-27365)

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

According to its self-reported version number, the version of Junos Space running on the remote device is < 17.1R1, and is therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks.

  - CVE-2017-7518     Andy Lutomirski discovered that KVM is prone to an     incorrect debug exception (#DB) error occurring while     emulating a syscall instruction. A process inside a     guest can take advantage of this flaw for privilege     escalation inside a guest.

  - CVE-2017-7558 (stretch only)     Stefano Brivio of Red Hat discovered that the SCTP     subsystem is prone to a data leak vulnerability due to     an out-of-bounds read flaw, allowing to leak up to 100     uninitialized bytes to userspace.

  - CVE-2017-10661 (jessie only)     Dmitry Vyukov of Google reported that the timerfd     facility does not properly handle certain concurrent     operations on a single file descriptor. This allows a     local attacker to cause a denial of service or     potentially execute arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2017-11600     Bo Zhang reported that the xfrm subsystem does not     properly validate one of the parameters to a netlink     message. Local users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     can use this to cause a denial of service or potentially     to execute arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2017-12134 / #866511 / XSA-229     Jan H. Schoenherr of Amazon discovered that when Linux     is running in a Xen PV domain on an x86 system, it may     incorrectly merge block I/O requests. A buggy or     malicious guest may trigger this bug in dom0 or a PV     driver domain, causing a denial of service or     potentially execution of arbitrary code.

  This issue can be mitigated by disabling merges on the underlying   back-end block devices, e.g.:echo 2 >   /sys/block/nvme0n1/queue/nomerges

  - CVE-2017-12146 (stretch only)     Adrian Salido of Google reported a race condition in     access to the'driver_override' attribute for platform     devices in sysfs. If unprivileged users are permitted to     access this attribute, this might allow them to gain     privileges.

  - CVE-2017-12153     Bo Zhang reported that the cfg80211 (wifi) subsystem     does not properly validate the parameters to a netlink     message. Local users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     (in any user namespace with a wifi device) can use this     to cause a denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-12154     Jim Mattson of Google reported that the KVM     implementation for Intel x86 processors did not     correctly handle certain nested hypervisor     configurations. A malicious guest (or nested guest in a     suitable L1 hypervisor) could use this for denial of     service.

  - CVE-2017-14106     Andrey Konovalov discovered that a user-triggerable     division by zero in the tcp_disconnect() function could     result in local denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-14140     Otto Ebeling reported that the move_pages() system call     performed insufficient validation of the UIDs of the     calling and target processes, resulting in a partial     ASLR bypass. This made it easier for local users to     exploit vulnerabilities in programs installed with the     set-UID permission bit set.

  - CVE-2017-14156     'sohu0106' reported an information leak in the atyfb     video driver. A local user with access to a framebuffer     device handled by this driver could use this to obtain     sensitive information.

  - CVE-2017-14340     Richard Wareing discovered that the XFS implementation     allows the creation of files with the 'realtime' flag on     a filesystem with no realtime device, which can result     in a crash (oops). A local user with access to an XFS     filesystem that does not have a realtime device can use     this for denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-14489     ChunYu Wang of Red Hat discovered that the iSCSI     subsystem does not properly validate the length of a     netlink message, leading to memory corruption. A local     user with permission to manage iSCSI devices can use     this for denial of service or possibly to execute     arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2017-14497 (stretch only)     Benjamin Poirier of SUSE reported that vnet headers are     not properly handled within the tpacket_rcv() function     in the raw packet (af_packet) feature. A local user with     the CAP_NET_RAW capability can take advantage of this     flaw to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow, and     disk and memory corruption) or have other impact.

  - CVE-2017-1000111     Andrey Konovalov of Google reported a race condition in     the raw packet (af_packet) feature. Local users with the     CAP_NET_RAW capability can use this for denial of     service or possibly to execute arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2017-1000112     Andrey Konovalov of Google reported a race condition     flaw in the UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) code. A     local user can use this flaw for denial of service or     possibly to execute arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2017-1000251 / #875881     Armis Labs discovered that the Bluetooth subsystem does     not properly validate L2CAP configuration responses,     leading to a stack-based buffer overflow. This is one of     several vulnerabilities dubbed 'Blueborne'. A nearby     attacker can use this to cause a denial of service or     possibly to execute arbitrary code on a system with     Bluetooth enabled.

  - CVE-2017-1000252 (stretch only)     Jan H. Schoenherr of Amazon reported that the KVM     implementation for Intel x86 processors did not     correctly validate interrupt injection requests. A local     user with permission to use KVM could use this for     denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-1000370     The Qualys Research Labs reported that a large argument     or environment list can result in ASLR bypass for 32-bit     PIE binaries.

  - CVE-2017-1000371     The Qualys Research Labs reported that a large argument     or environment list can result in a stack/heap clash for     32-bit PIE binaries.

  - CVE-2017-1000380     Alexander Potapenko of Google reported a race condition     in the ALSA (sound) timer driver, leading to an     information leak. A local user with permission to access     sound devices could use this to obtain sensitive     information.

Debian disables unprivileged user namespaces by default, but if they are enabled (via the kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone sysctl) then CVE-2017-11600, CVE-2017-14497 and CVE-2017-1000111 can be exploited by any local user.

The 4.11.6 update contains a number of important fixes across the tree, including the recently announced 'stack clash'

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

An issue was discovered in the size of the stack guard page on Linux, specifically a 4k stack guard page is not sufficiently large and can be jmp'ed over, this affects Linux Kernel versions 4.11.5 and earlier (the stackguard page was introduced in 2010). (CVE-2017-1000364)

The offset2lib patch as used by the Linux Kernel contains a vulnerability, if RLIMIT_STACK is set to RLIMIT_INFINITY and 1 Gigabyte of memory is allocated (the maximum under the 1/4 restriction) then the stack will be grown down to 0x80000000, and as the PIE binary is mapped above 0x80000000 the minimum distance between the end of the PIE binary's read-write segment and the start of the stack becomes small enough that the stack guard page can be jumped over by an attacker. This is a different issue than CVE-2017-1000370 and CVE-2017-1000365 . (CVE-2017-1000371)
