An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.6. svm_cpu_uninit in arch/x86/kvm/svm.c has a memory leak, aka CID-d80b64ff297e. NOTE: third parties dispute this issue because it's a one-time leak at the boot, the size is negligible, and it can't be triggered at will

An update of the linux package has been released.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 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 write in __btrfs_map_block in fs/btrfs/volumes.c (CVE-2019-19816)

  - Kernel: use-after-free in btf_dump_name_dups in tools/lib/bpf/btf_dump.c (CVE-2022-3534)

  - 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-2018-10021)

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 version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.4.46-19.75. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.4-2022-012 advisory.

    A NULL pointer dereference flaw may occur in the Linux kernel's relay_open in kernel/relay.c. if the     alloc_percpu() function is not validated in time of failure and used as a valid address for access. An     attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2019-19462)

    A new domain bypass transient execution attack known as Special Register Buffer Data Sampling (SRBDS) has     been found. This flaw allows data values from special internal registers to be leaked by an attacker able     to execute code on any core of the CPU. An unprivileged, local attacker can use this flaw to infer values     returned by affected instructions known to be commonly used during cryptographic operations that rely on     uniqueness, secrecy, or both. (CVE-2020-0543)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of Userspace core dumps. This flaw allows an     attacker with a local account to crash a trivial program and exfiltrate private kernel data.
    (CVE-2020-10732)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SELinux LSM hook implementation, where it anticipated the skb would     only contain a single Netlink message. The hook incorrectly validated the first Netlink message in the skb     only, to allow or deny the rest of the messages within the skb with the granted permissions and without     further processing. At this time, there is no known ability for an attacker to abuse this flaw.
    (CVE-2020-10751)

    A flaw was found in the way mremap handled DAX Huge Pages. This flaw allows a local attacker with access     to a DAX enabled storage to escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2020-10757)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A memory leak in svm_cpu_init() is possible leading to a system     crash.  The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2020-12768)

    A vulnerability was found in sg_write in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the SCSI generic (sg) driver subsystem. This     flaw allows an attacker with local access and special user or root privileges to cause a denial of service     if the allocated list is not cleaned with an invalid (Sg_fd * sfp) pointer at the time of failure, also     possibly causing a kernel internal information leak problem. (CVE-2020-12770)

    gadget_dev_desc_UDC_store in drivers/usb/gadget/configfs.c in the Linux kernel 3.16 through 5.6.13 relies     on kstrdup without considering the possibility of an internal 0 value, which allows attackers to trigger     an out-of-bounds read, aka CID-15753588bcd4. (CVE-2020-13143)

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

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 :

  - btrfs_root_node in fs/btrfs/ctree.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.3.12 allows a NULL pointer dereference     because rcu_dereference(root->node) can be     zero.(CVE-2019-19036)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     5.0.6. In rx_queue_add_kobject() and     netdev_queue_add_kobject() in net/core/net-sysfs.c, a     reference count is mishandled, aka     CID-a3e23f719f5c.(CVE-2019-20811)

  - In calc_vm_may_flags of ashmem.c, there is a possible     arbitrary write to shared memory due to a permissions     bypass. This could lead to local escalation of     privilege by corrupting memory shared between     processes, with no additional execution privileges     needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation. Product: Android Versions: Android kernel     Android ID: A-142938932(CVE-2020-0009)

  - ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in the Linux     kernel before 5.6. svm_cpu_uninit in arch/x86/kvm/svm.c     has a memory leak, aka CID-d80b64ff297e. NOTE: third     parties dispute this issue because it's a one-time leak     at the boot, the size is negligible, and it can't be     triggered at will.(CVE-2020-12768)

  - ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in the Linux     kernel through 5.7.1. drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c has an     integer overflow if k_ascii is called several times in     a row, aka CID-b86dab054059. NOTE: Members in the     community argue that the integer overflow does not lead     to a security issue in this case.(CVE-2020-13974)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.7.6, usbtest_disconnect     in drivers/usb/misc/usbtest.c has a memory leak, aka     CID-28ebeb8db770.(CVE-2020-15393)

  - 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 flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of Userspace core dumps. This flaw allows an attacker     with a local account to crash a trivial program and     exfiltrate private kernel data.(CVE-2020-10732)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernels SELinux LSM hook     implementation before version 5.7, where it incorrectly     assumed that an skb would only contain a single netlink     message. The hook would incorrectly only validate the     first netlink message in the skb and allow or deny the     rest of the messages within the skb with the granted     permission without further processing.(CVE-2020-10751)

  - A buffer over-read flaw was found in RH kernel versions     before 5.0 in crypto_authenc_extractkeys in     crypto/authenc.c in the IPsec Cryptographic algorithm's     module, authenc. When a payload longer than 4 bytes,     and is not following 4-byte alignment boundary     guidelines, it causes a buffer over-read threat,     leading to a system crash. This flaw allows a local     attacker with user privileges to cause a denial of     service.(CVE-2020-10769)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.7.8, fs/nfsd/vfs.c (in the     NFS server) can set incorrect permissions on new     filesystem objects when the filesystem lacks ACL     support, aka CID-22cf8419f131. This occurs because the     current umask is not considered.(CVE-2020-24394)

  - The Linux kernel through 5.7.11 allows remote attackers     to make observations that help to obtain sensitive     information about the internal state of the network     RNG, aka CID-f227e3ec3b5c. This is related to     drivers/char/random.c and     kernel/time/timer.c.(CVE-2020-16166)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of GRO in versions before 5.2. This flaw allows an     attacker with local access to crash the     system.(CVE-2020-10720)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.8.7, local attackers able     to inject conntrack netlink configuration could     overflow a local buffer, causing crashes or triggering     use of incorrect protocol numbers in     ctnetlink_parse_tuple_filter in     net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c, aka     CID-1cc5ef91d2ff.(CVE-2020-25211)

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

  - CVE-2019-3016     It was discovered that the KVM implementation for x86     did not always perform TLB flushes when needed, if the     paravirtualised TLB flush feature was enabled. This     could lead to disclosure of sensitive information within     a guest VM.

  - CVE-2019-19462     The syzkaller tool found a missing error check in the     'relay' library used to implement various files under     debugfs. A local user permitted to access debugfs could     use this to cause a denial of service (crash) or     possibly for privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2020-0543     Researchers at VU Amsterdam discovered that on some     Intel CPUs supporting the RDRAND and RDSEED     instructions, part of a random value generated by these     instructions may be used in a later speculative     execution on any core of the same physical CPU.
    Depending on how these instructions are used by     applications, a local user or VM guest could use this to     obtain sensitive information such as cryptographic keys     from other users or VMs.

  This vulnerability can be mitigated by a microcode update, either as   part of system firmware (BIOS) or through the intel-microcode   package in Debian's non-free archive section. This kernel update   only provides reporting of the vulnerability and the option to   disable the mitigation if it is not needed.

  - CVE-2020-10711     Matthew Sheets reported NULL pointer dereference issues     in the SELinux subsystem while receiving CIPSO packet     with null category. A remote attacker can take advantage     of this flaw to cause a denial of service (crash). Note     that this issue does not affect the binary packages     distributed in Debian as CONFIG_NETLABEL is not enabled.

  - CVE-2020-10732     An information leak of kernel private memory to     userspace was found in the kernel's implementation of     core dumping userspace processes.

  - CVE-2020-10751     Dmitry Vyukov reported that the SELinux subsystem did     not properly handle validating multiple messages, which     could allow a privileged attacker to bypass SELinux     netlink restrictions.

  - CVE-2020-10757     Fan Yang reported a flaw in the way mremap handled DAX     hugepages, allowing a local user to escalate their     privileges.

  - CVE-2020-12114     Piotr Krysiuk discovered a race condition between the     umount and pivot_root operations in the filesystem core     (vfs). A local user with the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in     any user namespace could use this to cause a denial of     service (crash).

  - CVE-2020-12464     Kyungtae Kim reported a race condition in the USB core     that can result in a use-after-free. It is not clear how     this can be exploited, but it could result in a denial     of service (crash or memory corruption) or privilege     escalation.

  - CVE-2020-12768     A bug was discovered in the KVM implementation for AMD     processors, which could result in a memory leak. The     security impact of this is unclear.

  - CVE-2020-12770     It was discovered that the sg (SCSI generic) driver did     not correctly release internal resources in a particular     error case. A local user permitted to access an sg     device could possibly use this to cause a denial of     service (resource exhaustion).

  - CVE-2020-13143     Kyungtae Kim reported a potential heap out-of-bounds     write in the USB gadget subsystem. A local user     permitted to write to the gadget configuration     filesystem could use this to cause a denial of service     (crash or memory corruption) or potentially for     privilege escalation.
