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

  - The atalk_recvmsg function in net/appletalk/ddp.c in     the Linux kernel before 3.12.4 updates a certain length     value without ensuring that an associated data     structure has been initialized, which allows local     users to obtain sensitive information from kernel     memory via a (1) recvfrom, (2) recvmmsg, or (3) recvmsg     system call.(CVE-2013-7267i1/4%0

  - fs/f2fs/segment.c in the Linux kernel allows local     users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and panic) by using a noflush_merge option     that triggers a NULL value for a flush_cmd_control data     structure.(CVE-2017-18241i1/4%0

  - fs/pnode.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.4 does not     properly traverse a mount propagation tree in a certain     case involving a slave mount, which allows local users     to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference     and OOPS) via a crafted series of mount system     calls.(CVE-2016-4581i1/4%0

  - 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-2014-0077i1/4%0

  - It was found that the fix for CVE-2016-9576 was     incomplete: the Linux kernel's sg implementation did     not properly restrict write operations in situations     where the KERNEL_DS option is set. A local attacker to     read or write to arbitrary kernel memory locations or     cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by     leveraging write access to a /dev/sg     device.(CVE-2016-10088i1/4%0

  - ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in the Linux     kernel through 4.17.2. Since the page allocator does     not yield CPU resources to the owner of the oom_lock     mutex, a local unprivileged user can trivially lock up     the system forever by wasting CPU resources from the     page allocator (e.g., via concurrent page fault events)     when the global OOM killer is invoked. NOTE: the     software maintainer has not accepted certain proposed     patches, in part because of a viewpoint that 'the     underlying problem is non-trivial to     handle.'(CVE-2016-10723i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's ASN.1     DER decoder processed certain certificate files with     tags of indefinite length. A local, unprivileged user     could use a specially crafted X.509 certificate DER     file to crash the system or, potentially, escalate     their privileges on the system.(CVE-2016-0758i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Stream     Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) implementation     handled the association's output queue. A remote     attacker could send specially crafted packets that     would cause the system to use an excessive amount of     memory, leading to a denial of     service.(CVE-2014-3688i1/4%0

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the     ping_init_sock() function of the Linux kernel handled     the group_info reference counter.

  - The compat_get_timex function in kernel/compat.c in the     Linux kernel before 4.16.9 allows local users to obtain     sensitive information from kernel memory via     adjtimex.(CVE-2018-11508i1/4%0

  - The cdc_parse_cdc_header() function in     'drivers/usb/core/message.c' in the Linux kernel,     before 4.13.6, allows local users to cause a denial of     service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted     USB device. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege     escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we     believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2017-16534i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the crypto subsystem of the Linux     kernel before version kernel-4.15-rc4. The 'null     skcipher' was being dropped when each af_alg_ctx was     freed instead of when the aead_tfm was freed. This can     cause the null skcipher to be freed while it is still     in use leading to a local user being able to crash the     system or possibly escalate     privileges.(CVE-2018-14619i1/4%0

  - The crypto_skcipher_init_tfm function in     crypto/skcipher.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.2     relies on a setkey function that lacks a key-size     check, which allows local users to cause a denial of     service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted     application.(CVE-2017-9211i1/4%0

  - kernel/events/core.c in the performance subsystem in     the Linux kernel before 4.0 mismanages locks during     certain migrations, which allows local users to gain     privileges via a crafted application, aka Android     internal bug 30955111.(CVE-2016-6786i1/4%0

  - The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel omitted an     access-control check when writing a key to the current     task's default keyring, allowing a local user to bypass     security checks to the keyring. This compromises the     validity of the keyring for those who rely on     it.(CVE-2017-17807i1/4%0

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's SCTP implementation handled authentication key     reference counting during INIT collisions. A remote     attacker could use this flaw to crash the system or,     potentially, escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2015-1421i1/4%0

  - The waitid implementation in kernel/exit.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.13.4 accesses rusage data structures     in unintended cases. This can allow local users to     obtain sensitive information and bypass the KASLR     protection mechanism via a crafted system     call.(CVE-2017-14954i1/4%0

  - It was found that the Linux kernel's keyring     implementation would leak memory when adding a key to a     keyring via the add_key() function. A local attacker     could use this flaw to exhaust all available memory on     the system.(CVE-2015-1333i1/4%0

  - The msm_ipc_router_close function in     net/ipc_router/ipc_router_socket.c in the ipc_router     component for the Linux kernel 3.x, as used in Qualcomm     Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM     devices and other products, allow attackers to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) or     possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering     failure of an accept system call for an AF_MSM_IPC     socket.(CVE-2016-5870i1/4%0

  - A reachable assertion failure flaw was found in the     Linux kernel built with KVM virtualisation(CONFIG_KVM)     support with Virtual Function I/O feature (CONFIG_VFIO)     enabled. This failure could occur if a malicious guest     device sent a virtual interrupt (guest IRQ) with a     larger (i1/4z1024) index value.(CVE-2017-1000252i1/4%0

  - The Linux kernel is vulerable to a use-after-free flaw     when Transformation User configuration     interface(CONFIG_XFRM_USER) compile-time configuration     were enabled. This vulnerability occurs while closing a     xfrm netlink socket in xfrm_dump_policy_done. A     user/process could abuse this flaw to potentially     escalate their privileges on a system.(CVE-2017-16939)

  - The net/netfilter/nfnetlink_cthelper.c function in the     Linux kernel through 4.14.4 does not require the     CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for new, get, and del     operations. This allows local users to bypass intended     access restrictions because the nfnl_cthelper_list data     structure is shared across all net     namespaces.(CVE-2017-17448)

  - The __netlink_deliver_tap_skb function in     net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel, through     4.14.4, does not restrict observations of Netlink     messages to a single net namespace, when CONFIG_NLMON     is enabled. This allows local users to obtain sensitive     information by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     to sniff an nlmon interface for all Netlink activity on     the system.(CVE-2017-17449)

  - net/netfilter/xt_osf.c in the Linux kernel through     4.14.4 does not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     for add_callback and remove_callback operations. This     allows local users to bypass intended access     restrictions because the xt_osf_fingers data structure     is shared across all network     namespaces.(CVE-2017-17450)

  - The usb_destroy_configuration() function, in     'drivers/usb/core/config.c' in the USB core subsystem,     in the Linux kernel through 4.14.5 does not consider     the maximum number of configurations and interfaces     before attempting to release resources. This allows     local users to cause a denial of service, due to     out-of-bounds write access, or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device. Due     to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot     be fully ruled out, although we believe it is     unlikely.(CVE-2017-17558)

  - The Salsa20 encryption algorithm in the Linux kernel,     before 4.14.8, does not correctly handle zero-length     inputs. This allows a local attacker the ability to use     the AF_ALG-based skcipher interface to cause a denial     of service (uninitialized-memory free and kernel crash)     or have an unspecified other impact by executing a     crafted sequence of system calls that use the     blkcipher_walk API. Both the generic implementation     (crypto/salsa20_generic.c) and x86 implementation     (arch/x86/crypto/salsa20_glue.c) of Salsa20 are     vulnerable.(CVE-2017-17805)

  - The HMAC implementation (crypto/hmac.c) in the Linux     kernel, before 4.14.8, does not validate that the     underlying cryptographic hash algorithm is unkeyed.
    This allows a local attacker, able to use the     AF_ALG-based hash interface     (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH) and the SHA-3 hash     algorithm (CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA3), to cause a kernel stack     buffer overflow by executing a crafted sequence of     system calls that encounter a missing SHA-3     initialization.(CVE-2017-17806)

  - The Linux kernel, before version 4.14.3, is vulnerable     to a denial of service in     drivers/md/dm.c:dm_get_from_kobject() which can be     caused by local users leveraging a race condition with
    __dm_destroy() during creation and removal of DM     devices. Only privileged local users (with     CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability) can directly perform the     ioctl operations for dm device creation and removal and     this would typically be outside the direct control of     the unprivileged attacker.(CVE-2017-18203)

  - The madvise_willneed function in the Linux kernel     allows local users to cause a denial of service     (infinite loop) by triggering use of MADVISE_WILLNEED     for a DAX mapping.(CVE-2017-18208)

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 GA LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. This update adds mitigations for various side channel attacks against modern CPUs that could disclose content of otherwise unreadable memory (bnc#1068032).

  - CVE-2017-5753 / 'SpectreAttack': Local attackers on     systems with modern CPUs featuring deep instruction     pipelining could use attacker controllable speculative     execution over code patterns in the Linux Kernel to leak     content from otherwise not readable memory in the same     address space, allowing retrieval of passwords,     cryptographic keys and other secrets. This problem is     mitigated by adding speculative fencing on affected code     paths throughout the Linux kernel. This issue is     addressed for the x86_64, the IBM Power and IBM zSeries     architecture.

  - CVE-2017-5715 / 'SpectreAttack': Local attackers on     systems with modern CPUs featuring branch prediction     could use mispredicted branches to speculatively execute     code patterns that in turn could be made to leak other     non-readable content in the same address space, an     attack similar to CVE-2017-5753. This problem is     mitigated by disabling predictive branches, depending on     CPU architecture either by firmware updates and/or fixes     in the user-kernel privilege boundaries. This is done     with help of Linux Kernel fixes on the Intel/AMD x86_64     and IBM zSeries architectures. On x86_64, this requires     also updates of the CPU microcode packages, delivered in     separate updates. For IBM Power and zSeries the required     firmware updates are supplied over regular channels by     IBM. As this feature can have a performance impact, it     can be disabled using the 'nospec' kernel commandline     option.

  - CVE-2017-5754 / 'MeltdownAttack': Local attackers on     systems with modern CPUs featuring deep instruction     pipelining could use code patterns in userspace to     speculative executive code that would read otherwise     read protected memory, an attack similar to     CVE-2017-5753. This problem is mitigated by unmapping     the Linux Kernel from the user address space during user     code execution, following a approach called 'KAISER'.
    The terms used here are 'KAISER' / 'Kernel Address     Isolation' and 'PTI' / 'Page Table Isolation'. This     update does this on the x86_64 architecture, it is not     required on the IBM zSeries architecture. This feature     can be enabled / disabled by the 'pti=[on|off|auto]' or     'nopti' commandline options. The following security bugs     were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-15868: The bnep_add_connection function in     net/bluetooth/bnep/core.c in the Linux kernel did not     ensure that an l2cap socket is available, which allowed     local users to gain privileges via a crafted application     (bnc#1071470).

  - CVE-2017-13167: An elevation of privilege vulnerability     in the kernel sound timer. (bnc#1072876).

  - CVE-2017-17558: The usb_destroy_configuration function     in drivers/usb/core/config.c in the USB core subsystem     in the Linux kernel did not consider the maximum number     of configurations and interfaces before attempting to     release resources, which allowed local users to cause a     denial of service (out-of-bounds write access) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB     device (bnc#1072561).

  - CVE-2017-17450: net/netfilter/xt_osf.c in the Linux     kernel did not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for     add_callback and remove_callback operations, which     allowed local users to bypass intended access     restrictions because the xt_osf_fingers data structure     is shared across all net namespaces (bnc#1071695).

  - CVE-2017-17449: The __netlink_deliver_tap_skb function     in net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel through     4.14.4, when CONFIG_NLMON is enabled, did not restrict     observations of Netlink messages to a single net     namespace, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     to sniff an nlmon interface for all Netlink activity on     the system (bnc#1071694).

  - CVE-2017-8824: The dccp_disconnect function in     net/dccp/proto.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users     to gain privileges or cause a denial of service     (use-after-free) via an AF_UNSPEC connect system call     during the DCCP_LISTEN state (bnc#1070771).

  - CVE-2017-15115: The sctp_do_peeloff function in     net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel did not check     whether the intended netns is used in a peel-off action,     which allowed local users to cause a denial of service     (use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via crafted system calls     (bnc#1068671).

  - CVE-2017-11600: net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.12.3, when CONFIG_XFRM_MIGRATE is     enabled, did not ensure that the dir value of     xfrm_userpolicy_id is XFRM_POLICY_MAX or less, which     allowed local users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds access) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via an XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE xfrm Netlink     message (bnc#1050231).

  - CVE-2017-16534: The cdc_parse_cdc_header function in     drivers/usb/core/message.c in the Linux kernel allowed     local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds     read and system crash) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via a crafted USB device (bnc#1066693).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

This problem is mitigated by disabling     predictive branches, depending on CPU architecture     either by firmware updates and/or fixes in the     user-kernel privilege boundaries. Please contact your     CPU / hardware vendor for potential microcode or BIOS     updates needed for this fix. As this feature can have a     performance impact, it can be disabled using the     'nospec' kernel commandline option.

  - CVE-2017-5754: Local attackers on systems with modern     CPUs featuring deep instruction pipelining could use     code patterns in userspace to speculative executive code     that would read otherwise read protected memory, an     attack similar to CVE-2017-5753. This problem is     mitigated by unmapping the Linux Kernel from the user     address space during user code execution, following a     approach called 'KAISER'. The terms used here are     'KAISER' / 'Kernel Address Isolation' and 'PTI' / 'Page     Table Isolation'. This feature is disabled on unaffected     architectures. This feature can be enabled / disabled by     the 'pti=[on|off|auto]' or 'nopti' commandline options.
