Linux Kernel Bluetooth CMTP Module Double Free Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Linux Kernel. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute high-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the CMTP module. The issue results from the lack of validating the existence of an object prior to performing further free operations on the object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute code in the context of the kernel. Was ZDI-CAN-11977.

The remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address security updates:

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/input/input.c in the Linux kernel before 5.17.10. An attacker can cause     a denial of service (panic) because input_set_capability mishandles the situation in which an event code     falls outside of a bitmap. (CVE-2022-48619)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.6.8. do_vcc_ioctl in net/atm/ioctl.c has a use-after-     free because of a vcc_recvmsg race condition. (CVE-2023-51780)

  - A memory leak problem was found in ctnetlink_create_conntrack in net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c in     the Linux Kernel. This issue may allow a local attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges to cause a denial of     service (DoS) attack due to a refcount overflow. (CVE-2023-7192)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the __ext4_remount in fs/ext4/super.c in ext4 in the Linux kernel. This     flaw allows a local user to cause an information leak problem while freeing the old quota file names     before a potential failure, leading to a use-after-free. (CVE-2024-0775)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's CAPI over Bluetooth connection code. An attacker with a local     account can escalate privileges when CAPI (ISDN) hardware connection fails. (CVE-2021-34981)

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

The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2021:3876-1 advisory.

  - The inode_init_owner function in fs/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16 allows local users to create     files with an unintended group ownership, in a scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group and     is writable by a user who is not a member of that group. Here, the non-member can trigger creation of a     plain file whose group ownership is that group. The intended behavior was that the non-member can trigger     creation of a directory (but not a plain file) whose group ownership is that group. The non-member can     escalate privileges by making the plain file executable and SGID. (CVE-2018-13405)

  - In pppol2tp_connect, there is possible memory corruption due to a use after free. This could lead to local     escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed.
