An unlimited recursion in DxeCore in EDK II.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7060-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that EDK II did not check the buffer length in XHCI,

    which could lead to a stack overflow. A local attacker could potentially use this issue to cause a denial     of service. This issue only affected

    Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2019-0161)

    Laszlo Ersek discovered that EDK II incorrectly handled recursion. A remote attacker could possibly use     this issue to cause EDK II to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected

    Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-28210)

    Satoshi Tanda discovered that EDK II incorrectly handled decompressing certain images. A remote attacker     could use this issue to cause EDK II to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute     arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-28211)

    It was discovered that EDK II incorrectly decoded certain strings. A remote attacker could use this issue     to cause EDK II to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue     only

    affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-38575)

    It was discovered that EDK II had integer underflow vulnerability in

    SmmEntryPoint, which could result in a buffer overflow. An attacker could potentially use this issue to     cause a denial of service. (CVE-2021-38578)

    Elison Niven discovered that OpenSSL, vendored in EDK II, incorrectly

    handled the c_rehash script. A local attacker could possibly use this

    issue to execute arbitrary commands when c_rehash is run. This issue

    only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-1292)

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 edk2 package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Insufficient control flow management in BIOS firmware for 8th, 9th, 10th Generation Intel(R) Core(TM),     Intel(R) Celeron(R) Processor 4000 & 5000 Series Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially     enable denial of service via adjacent access. (CVE-2019-14558)

  - Use after free vulnerability in EDK II may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of     privilege, information disclosure and/or denial of service via adjacent access. (CVE-2019-14586)

  - Logic issue EDK II may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via adjacent     access. (CVE-2019-14587)

  - An unlimited recursion in DxeCore in EDK II. (CVE-2021-28210)

  - Existing CommBuffer checks in SmmEntryPoint will not catch underflow when computing BufferSize.
    (CVE-2021-38578)

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.
