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 IPv6 SCTP implementation in net/sctp/ipv6.c in the     Linux kernel through 3.11.1 uses data structures and     function calls that do not trigger an intended     configuration of IPsec encryption, which allows remote     attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing     the network.(CVE-2013-4350i1/4%0

  - The sg_ioctl function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux     kernel allows local users to cause a denial of service     (stack-based buffer overflow) or possibly have     unspecified other impacts via a large command size in     an SG_NEXT_CMD_LEN ioctl call, leading to out-of-bounds     write access in the sg_write function.(CVE-2017-7187i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in can_can_gw_rcv in     net/can/gw.c in the Linux kernel through 4.19.13. The     CAN frame modification rules allow bitwise logical     operations that can be also applied to the can_dlc     field. Because of a missing check, the CAN drivers may     write arbitrary content beyond the data registers in     the CAN controller's I/O memory when processing can-gw     manipulated outgoing frames. This is related to     cgw_csum_xor_rel. An unprivileged user can trigger a     system crash (general protection     fault).(CVE-2019-3701i1/4%0

  - net/rds/sysctl.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19 uses     an incorrect data type in a sysctl table, which allows     local users to obtain potentially sensitive information     from kernel memory or possibly have unspecified other     impact by accessing a sysctl entry.(CVE-2015-2042i1/4%0

  - The inet_csk_clone_lock function in     net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c in the Linux kernel     allows attackers to cause a denial of service (double     free) or possibly have unspecified other impact by     leveraging use of the accept system call. An     unprivileged local user could use this flaw to induce     kernel memory corruption on the system, leading to a     crash. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege     escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we     believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2017-8890i1/4%0

  - The overlayfs implementation in the linux (aka Linux     kernel) package before 3.19.0-21.21 in Ubuntu through     15.04 does not properly check permissions for file     creation in the upper filesystem directory, which     allows local users to obtain root access by leveraging     a configuration in which overlayfs is permitted in an     arbitrary mount namespace.(CVE-2015-1328i1/4%0

  - The xfs_dinode_verify function in     fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_inode_buf.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.16.3 allows local users to cause a denial of     service (xfs_ilock_attr_map_shared invalid pointer     dereference) via a crafted xfs image.(CVE-2018-10322i1/4%0

  - In the flush_tmregs_to_thread function in     arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel before     4.13.5, a guest kernel crash can be triggered from     unprivileged userspace during a core dump on a POWER     host due to a missing processor feature check and an     erroneous use of transactional memory (TM) instructions     in the core dump path, leading to a denial of     service.(CVE-2018-1091i1/4%0

  - ** DISPUTED ** drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_scsi_host.c in     the Linux kernel before 4.16 allows local users to     cause a denial of service (ata qc leak) by triggering     certain failure conditions. NOTE: a third party     disputes the relevance of this report because the     failure can only occur for physically proximate     attackers who unplug SAS Host Bus Adapter     cables.(CVE-2018-10021i1/4%0

  - A use-after-free flaw was discovered in the Linux     kernel's tty subsystem, which allows for the disclosure     of uncontrolled memory location and possible kernel     panic. The information leak is caused by a race     condition when attempting to set and read the tty line     discipline. A local attacker could use the TIOCSETD     (via tty_set_ldisc ) to switch to a new line discipline     a concurrent call to a TIOCGETD ioctl performing a read     on a given tty could then access previously allocated     memory. Up to 4 bytes could be leaked when querying the     line discipline or the kernel could panic with a     NULL-pointer dereference.(CVE-2016-0723i1/4%0

  - An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the way the     Logitech Unifying receiver driver handled HID reports     with an invalid device_index value. An attacker with     physical access to the system could use this flaw to     crash the system or, potentially, escalate their     privileges on the system.(CVE-2014-3182i1/4%0

  - arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel through     4.9.3 allows local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory or cause a denial of     service (use-after-free) via a crafted application that     leverages instruction emulation for fxrstor, fxsave,     sgdt, and sidt.(CVE-2017-2584i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled     IRET faults during the processing of NMIs. An     unprivileged, local user could use this flaw to crash     the system or, potentially (although highly unlikely),     escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2015-5157i1/4%0

  - drivers/media/media-device.c in the Linux kernel before     3.11, as used in Android before 2016-08-05 on Nexus 5     and 7 (2013) devices, does not properly initialize     certain data structures, which allows local users to     obtain sensitive information via a crafted application,     aka Android internal bug 28750150 and Qualcomm internal     bug CR570757, a different vulnerability than     CVE-2014-1739.(CVE-2014-9895i1/4%0

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in sys_ioprio_get() was     found due to get_task_ioprio() accessing the     task-i1/4zio_context without holding the task lock and     could potentially race with exit_io_context(), leading     to a use-after-free.(CVE-2016-7911i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel which is related     to the user namespace lazily unmounting file systems.
    The fs_pin struct has two members (m_list and s_list)     which are usually initialized on use in the     pin_insert_group function. However, these members might     go unmodified in this case, the system panics when it     attempts to destroy or free them. This flaw could be     used to launch a denial-of-service     attack.(CVE-2015-4178i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of raw_sendmsg allowing a local attacker to panic the     kernel or possibly leak kernel addresses. A local     attacker, with the privilege of creating raw sockets,     can abuse a possible race condition when setting the     socket option to allow the kernel to automatically     create ip header values and thus potentially escalate     their privileges.(CVE-2017-17712i1/4%0

  - A flaw was discovered in the F2FS filesystem code in     fs/f2fs/super.c in the Linux kernel. A denial of     service, due to an out-of-bounds memory access, can     occur upon encountering an abnormal bitmap size when     mounting a crafted f2fs image.(CVE-2018-13096i1/4%0

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way     the Linux kernel's madvise MADV_WILLNEED functionality     handled page table locking. A local, unprivileged user     could use this flaw to crash the     system.(CVE-2014-8173i1/4%0

  - An out-of-bounds heap memory access leading to a Denial     of Service, heap disclosure, or further impact was     found in setsockopt(). The function call is normally     restricted to root, however some processes with     cap_sys_admin may also be able to trigger this flaw in     privileged container environments.(CVE-2016-4998i1/4%0

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

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel where the     keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring() function leaks the thread     keyring. This allows an unprivileged local user to     exhaust kernel memory and thus cause a     DoS.(CVE-2017-7472)

  - A reference counter leak in Linux kernel in     ipxitf_ioctl function was found which results in a use     after free vulnerability that's triggerable from     unprivileged userspace when IPX interface is     configured.(CVE-2017-7487)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel where     filesystems mounted with data=ordered mode may allow an     attacker to read stale data from recently allocated     blocks in new files after a system 'reset' by abusing     ext4 mechanics of delayed allocation.(CVE-2017-7495)

  - A race condition was found in the Linux kernel, present     since v3.14-rc1 through v4.12. The race happens between     threads of inotify_handle_event() and vfs_rename()     while running the rename operation against the same     file. As a result of the race the next slab data or the     slab's free list pointer can be corrupted with     attacker-controlled data, which may lead to the     privilege escalation.(CVE-2017-7533)

  - Kernel memory corruption due to a buffer overflow was     found in brcmf_cfg80211_mgmt_tx() function in Linux     kernels from v3.9-rc1 to v4.13-rc1. The vulnerability     can be triggered by sending a crafted NL80211_CMD_FRAME     packet via netlink. This flaw is unlikely to be     triggered remotely as certain userspace code is needed     for this. An unprivileged local user could use this     flaw to induce kernel memory corruption on the system,     leading to a crash. Due to the nature of the flaw,     privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out,     although it is unlikely.(CVE-2017-7541)

  - An integer overflow vulnerability in     ip6_find_1stfragopt() function was found. A local     attacker that has privileges (of CAP_NET_RAW) to open     raw socket can cause an infinite loop inside the     ip6_find_1stfragopt() function.(CVE-2017-7542)

  - Incorrect error handling in the set_mempolicy() and     mbind() compat syscalls in 'mm/mempolicy.c' in the     Linux kernel allows local users to obtain sensitive     information from uninitialized stack data by triggering     failure of a certain bitmap operation.(CVE-2017-7616)

  - The NFS2/3 RPC client could send long arguments to the     NFS server. These encoded arguments are stored in an     array of memory pages, and accessed using pointer     variables. Arbitrarily long arguments could make these     pointers point outside the array and cause an     out-of-bounds memory access. A remote user or program     could use this flaw to crash the kernel, resulting in     denial of service.(CVE-2017-7645)

  - The NFSv2 and NFSv3 server implementations in the Linux     kernel through 4.10.13 lacked certain checks for the     end of a buffer. A remote attacker could trigger a     pointer-arithmetic error or possibly cause other     unspecified impacts using crafted requests related to     fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c and fs/nfsd/nfsxdr.c.(CVE-2017-7895)

  - It was found that the NFSv4 server in the Linux kernel     did not properly validate layout type when processing     NFSv4 pNFS LAYOUTGET and GETDEVICEINFO operands. A     remote attacker could use this flaw to soft-lockup the     system and thus cause denial of service.(CVE-2017-8797)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in DCCP socket     code affecting the Linux kernel since 2.6.16. This     vulnerability could allow an attacker to their escalate     privileges.(CVE-2017-8824)

  - The inet_csk_clone_lock function in     net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c in the Linux kernel     allows attackers to cause a denial of service (double     free) or possibly have unspecified other impact by     leveraging use of the accept system call. An     unprivileged local user could use this flaw to induce     kernel memory corruption on the system, leading to a     crash. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege     escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we     believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2017-8890)

  - The edge_bulk_in_callback function in     drivers/usb/serial/io_ti.c in the Linux kernel allows     local users to obtain sensitive information (in the     dmesg ringbuffer and syslog) from uninitialized kernel     memory by using a crafted USB device (posing as an     io_ti USB serial device) to trigger an integer     underflow.(CVE-2017-8924)

  - The IPv6 fragmentation implementation in the Linux     kernel does not consider that the nexthdr field may be     associated with an invalid option, which allows local     users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read     and BUG) or possibly have unspecified other impact via     crafted socket and send system calls. Due to the nature     of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled     out, although we believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2017-9074)

  - The sctp_v6_create_accept_sk function in     net/sctp/ipv6.c in the Linux kernel mishandles     inheritance, which allows local users to cause a denial     of service or possibly have unspecified other impact     via crafted system calls, a related issue to     CVE-2017-8890. An unprivileged local user could use     this flaw to induce kernel memory corruption on the     system, leading to a crash. Due to the nature of the     flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out,     although we believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2017-9075)

  - The IPv6 DCCP implementation in the Linux kernel     mishandles inheritance, which allows local users to     cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified     other impact via crafted system calls, a related issue     to CVE-2017-8890. An unprivileged local user could use     this flaw to induce kernel memory corruption on the     system, leading to a crash. Due to the nature of the     flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out,     although we believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2017-9076)

  - The tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock function in     net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c in the Linux kernel mishandles     inheritance, which allows local users to cause a denial     of service or possibly have unspecified other impact     via crafted system calls, a related issue to     CVE-2017-8890. An unprivileged local user could use     this flaw to induce kernel memory corruption on the     system, leading to a crash. Due to the nature of the     flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out,     although we believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2017-9077)

  - The __ip6_append_data function in net/ipv6/ip6_output.c     in the Linux kernel through 4.11.3 is too late in     checking whether an overwrite of an skb data structure     may occur, which allows local users to cause a denial     of service (system crash) via crafted system     calls.(CVE-2017-9242)

  - The vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl function (accessible     via DRM_IOCTL_VMW_GB_SURFACE_CREATE) in     drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.11.4 defines a backup_handle variable     but does not give it an initial value. If one attempts     to create a GB surface, with a previously allocated DMA     buffer to be used as a backup buffer, the backup_handle     variable does not get written to and is then later     returned to user space, allowing local users to obtain     sensitive information from uninitialized kernel memory     via a crafted ioctl call.(CVE-2017-9605)

  - In the Linux kernel versions 4.12, 3.10, 2.6, and     possibly earlier, a race condition vulnerability exists     in the sound system allowing for a potential deadlock     and memory corruption due to use-after-free condition     and thus denial of service. Due to the nature of the     flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out,     although we believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2018-1000004)

  - The code in the drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_scsi_host.c     file in the Linux kernel allow a physically proximate     attacker to cause a memory leak in the ATA command     queue and, thus, denial of service by triggering     certain failure conditions.(CVE-2018-10021)

  - The kernel_wait4 function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux     kernel, when an unspecified architecture and compiler     is used, might allow local users to cause a denial of     service by triggering an attempted use of the -INT_MIN     value.(CVE-2018-10087)

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

  - A null pointer dereference in dccp_write_xmit()     function in net/dccp/output.c in the Linux kernel     allows a local user to cause a denial of service by a     number of certain crafted system calls.(CVE-2018-1130)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, before 4.16.6     where the cdrom_ioctl_media_changed function in     drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c allows local attackers to use a     incorrect bounds check in the CDROM driver     CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl to read out kernel     memory.(CVE-2018-10940)

  - 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)

  - fuse-backed file mmap-ed onto process cmdline arguments     causes denial of service.(CVE-2018-1120)

  - Memory leak in the sas_smp_get_phy_events function in     drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c in the Linux kernel     allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel     memory exhaustion) via multiple read accesses to files     in the /sys/class/sas_phy directory.(CVE-2018-7757)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's     kernel/events/core.c:perf_cpu_time_max_percent_handler(     ) function. Local privileged users could exploit this     flaw to cause a denial of service due to integer     overflow or possibly have unspecified other     impact.(CVE-2017-18255)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the way a local     user could create keyrings for other users via keyctl     commands. This may allow an attacker to set unwanted     defaults, a denial of service, or possibly leak keyring     information between users.(CVE-2017-18270)

  - The mm subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.10.10     does not properly enforce the CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM     protection mechanism, which allows local users to read     or write to kernel memory locations in the first     megabyte (and bypass slab-allocation access     restrictions) via an application that opens the     /dev/mem file, related to arch/x86/mm/init.c and     drivers/char/mem.c.(CVE-2017-7889)

  - The code in the drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_scsi_host.c     file in the Linux kernel allow a physically proximate     attacker to cause a memory leak in the ATA command     queue and, thus, denial of service by triggering     certain failure conditions.(CVE-2018-10021)

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

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

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's     kernel/events/core.c:perf_cpu_time_max_percent_handler(     ) function. Local privileged users could exploit this     flaw to cause a denial of service due to integer     overflow or possibly have unspecified other     impact.(CVE-2017-18255)

  - The code in the drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_scsi_host.c     file in the Linux kernel allow a physically proximate     attacker to cause a memory leak in the ATA command     queue and, thus, denial of service by triggering     certain failure conditions.(CVE-2018-10021)

  - The kernel_wait4 function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux     kernel, when an unspecified architecture and compiler     is used, might allow local users to cause a denial of     service by triggering an attempted use of the -INT_MIN     value.(CVE-2018-10087)

  - A an integer overflow vulnerability was discovered in     the Linux kernel, from version 3.4 through 4.15, in the     drivers/gpu/drm/udl/udl_fb.c:udl_fb_mmap() function. An     attacker with access to the udldrmfb driver could     exploit this to obtain full read and write permissions     on kernel physical pages, resulting in a code execution     in kernel space.(CVE-2018-8781)

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

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's client-side     implementation of the cifs protocol. This flaw allows     an attacker controlling the server to kernel panic a     client which has the CIFS server     mounted.(CVE-2018-1066)

  - In the Linux Kernel before version 4.15.8, 4.14.25,     4.9.87, 4.4.121, 4.1.51, and 3.2.102, an error in the     '_sctp_make_chunk()' function     (net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c) when handling SCTP packets     length can be exploited to cause a kernel     crash.(CVE-2018-5803)

  - Memory leak in the sas_smp_get_phy_events function in     drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c in the Linux kernel     allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel     memory exhaustion) via multiple read accesses to files     in the /sys/class/sas_phy directory.(CVE-2018-7757)

  - A race condition in the store_int_with_restart()     function in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c in the     Linux kernel allows local users to cause a denial of     service (panic) by leveraging root access to write to     the check_interval file in a     /sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheck (cpu     number) directory.(CVE-2018-7995)

  - ALSA sequencer core initializes the event pool on     demand by invoking snd_seq_pool_init() when the first     write happens and the pool is empty. A user can reset     the pool size manually via ioctl concurrently, and this     may lead to UAF or out-of-bound access.(CVE-2018-7566)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of 32-bit syscall interface for bridging. This allowed     a privileged user to arbitrarily write to a limited     range of kernel memory.(CVE-2018-1068)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's     kernel/events/core.c:perf_cpu_time_max_percent_handler(     ) function. Local privileged users could exploit this     flaw to cause a denial of service due to integer     overflow or possibly have unspecified other     impact.(CVE-2017-18255)

    (CVE-2018-10021)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

Linux 4.9 has been packaged for Debian 8 as linux-4.9. This provides a supported upgrade path for systems that currently use kernel packages from the 'jessie-backports' suite.

There is no need to upgrade systems using Linux 3.16, as that kernel version will also continue to be supported in the LTS period.

This backport does not include the following binary packages :

hyperv-daemons libcpupower1 libcpupower-dev libusbip-dev linux-compiler-gcc-4.9-x86 linux-cpupower linux-libc-dev usbip

Older versions of most of those are built from other source packages in Debian 8.

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

CVE-2017-5753

Further instances of code that was vulnerable to Spectre variant 1 (bounds-check bypass) have been mitigated.

CVE-2017-18255

It was discovered that the performance events subsystem did not properly validate the value of the kernel.perf_cpu_time_max_percent sysctl. Setting a large value could have an unspecified security impact. However, only a privileged user can set this sysctl.

CVE-2018-1118

The syzbot software found that the vhost driver did not initialise message buffers which would later be read by user processes. A user with access to the /dev/vhost-net device could use this to read sensitive information from the kernel or other users' processes.

CVE-2018-1120

Qualys reported that a user able to mount FUSE filesystems can create a process such that when another process attempting to read its command line will be blocked for an arbitrarily long time. This could be used for denial of service, or to aid in exploiting a race condition in the other program.

CVE-2018-1130

The syzbot software found that the DCCP implementation of sendmsg() does not check the socket state, potentially leading to a NULL pointer dereference. A local user could use this to cause a denial of service (crash). 

CVE-2018-3639

Multiple researchers have discovered that Speculative Store Bypass (SSB), a feature implemented in many processors, could be used to read sensitive information from another context. In particular, code in a software sandbox may be able to read sensitive information from outside the sandbox. This issue is also known as Spectre variant 4.

This update allows the issue to be mitigated on some x86 processors by disabling SSB. This requires an update to the processor's microcode, which is non-free. It may be included in an update to the system BIOS or UEFI firmware, or in a future update to the intel-microcode or amd64-microcode packages.

Disabling SSB can reduce performance significantly, so by default it is only done in tasks that use the seccomp feature. Applications that require this mitigation should request it explicitly through the prctl() system call. Users can control where the mitigation is enabled with the spec_store_bypass_disable kernel parameter.

CVE-2018-5814

Jakub Jirasek reported race conditions in the USB/IP host driver. A malicious client could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption), and possibly to execute code, on a USB/IP server.

CVE-2018-10021

A physically present attacker who unplugs a SAS cable can cause a denial of service (memory leak and WARN).

CVE-2018-10087, CVE-2018-10124

zhongjiang found that the wait4() and kill() system call implementations did not check for the invalid pid value of INT_MIN. If a user passed this value, the behaviour of the code was formally undefined and might have had a security impact.

CVE-2018-10853

Andy Lutomirski and Mika Penttil&auml; reported that KVM for x86 processors did not perform a necessary privilege check when emulating certain instructions. This could be used by an unprivileged user in a guest VM to escalate their privileges within the guest.

CVE-2018-10876, CVE-2018-10877, CVE-2018-10878, CVE-2018-10879, CVE-2018-10880, CVE-2018-10881, CVE-2018-10882, CVE-2018-10883

Wen Xu at SSLab, Gatech, reported that crafted ext4 filesystem images could trigger a crash or memory corruption. A local user able to mount arbitrary filesystems, or an attacker providing filesystems to be mounted, could use this for denial of service or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-10940

Dan Carpenter reported that the optical disc driver (cdrom) does not correctly validate the parameter to the CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl. A user with access to a cdrom device could use this to cause a denial of service (crash).

CVE-2018-11506

Piotr Gabriel Kosinski and Daniel Shapira reported that the SCSI optical disc driver (sr) did not allocate a sufficiently large buffer for sense data. A user with access to a SCSI optical disc device that can produce more than 64 bytes of sense data could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption), and possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-12233

Shankara Pailoor reported that a crafted JFS filesystem image could trigger a denial of service (memory corruption). This could possibly also be used for privilege escalation.

CVE-2018-1000204

The syzbot software found that the SCSI generic driver (sg) would in some circumstances allow reading data from uninitialised buffers, which could include sensitive information from the kernel or other tasks. However, only privileged users with the CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability were allowed to do this, so this has little or no security impact.

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

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

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's     kernel/events/core.c:perf_cpu_time_max_percent_handler(     ) function. Local privileged users could exploit this     flaw to cause a denial of service due to integer     overflow or possibly have unspecified other     impact.(CVE-2017-18255)

  - The code in the drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_scsi_host.c     file in the Linux kernel allow a physically proximate     attacker to cause a memory leak in the ATA command     queue and, thus, denial of service by triggering     certain failure conditions.(CVE-2018-10021)

  - The kernel_wait4 function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux     kernel, when an unspecified architecture and compiler     is used, might allow local users to cause a denial of     service by triggering an attempted use of the -INT_MIN     value.(CVE-2018-10087)

  - A an integer overflow vulnerability was discovered in     the Linux kernel, from version 3.4 through 4.15, in the     drivers/gpu/drm/udl/udl_fb.c:udl_fb_mmap() function. An     attacker with access to the udldrmfb driver could     exploit this to obtain full read and write permissions     on kernel physical pages, resulting in a code execution     in kernel space.(CVE-2018-8781)

  - An address corruption flaw was discovered in the Linux     kernel built with hardware breakpoint     (CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT) support. While modifying a     h/w breakpoint via 'modify_user_hw_breakpoint' routine,     an unprivileged user/process could use this flaw to     crash the system kernel resulting in DoS OR to     potentially escalate privileges on a the     system.(CVE-2018-1000199)

  - An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern     microprocessor designs have implemented speculative     execution of Load i1/4+ Store instructions (a commonly     used performance optimization). It relies on the     presence of a precisely-defined instruction sequence in     the privileged code as well as the fact that memory     read from address to which a recent memory write has     occurred may see an older value and subsequently cause     an update into the microprocessor's data cache even for     speculatively executed instructions that never actually     commit (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker     could use this flaw to read privileged memory by     conducting targeted cache side-channel     attacks.(CVE-2018-3639)

    Wen Xu discovered that the ext4 filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle     corrupted meta data in some situations. An attacker could use this to specially craft an ext4 file system     that caused a denial of service (system crash) when mounted. (CVE-2018-1092)

    It was discovered that the 802.11 software simulator implementation in the Linux kernel contained a memory     leak when handling certain error conditions. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of     service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2018-8087)

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

  - ALSA sequencer core initializes the event pool on     demand by invoking snd_seq_pool_init() when the first     write happens and the pool is empty. A user can reset     the pool size manually via ioctl concurrently, and this     may lead to UAF or out-of-bound access.(CVE-2018-7566)

  - The do_get_mempolicy() function in mm/mempolicy.c in     the Linux kernel allows local users to hit a     use-after-free bug via crafted system calls and thus     cause a denial of service (DoS) or possibly have     unspecified other impact. Due to the nature of the     flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled     out.(CVE-2018-10675)

  - The Linux kernel has an undefined behavior when an     argument of INT_MIN is passed to the     kernel/signal.c:kill_something_info() function. A local     attacker may be able to exploit this to cause a denial     of service.(CVE-2018-10124)

  - A an integer overflow vulnerability was discovered in     the Linux kernel, from version 3.4 through 4.15, in the     drivers/gpu/drm/udl/udl_fb.c:udl_fb_mmap() function.

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of 32-bit syscall interface for bridging. This allowed     a privileged user to arbitrarily write to a limited     range of kernel memory.(CVE-2018-1068)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's     kernel/events/core.c:perf_cpu_time_max_percent_handler(     ) function. Local privileged users could exploit this     flaw to cause a denial of service due to integer     overflow or possibly have unspecified other     impact.(CVE-2017-18255)

  - A null pointer dereference in dccp_write_xmit()     function in net/dccp/output.c in the Linux kernel     allows a local user to cause a denial of service by a     number of certain crafted system calls.(CVE-2018-1130)

  - An address corruption flaw was discovered in the Linux     kernel built with hardware breakpoint     (CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT) support. While modifying a     h/w breakpoint via 'modify_user_hw_breakpoint' routine,     an unprivileged user/process could use this flaw to     crash the system kernel resulting in DoS OR to     potentially escalate privileges on a the     system.(CVE-2018-1000199)
