A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in versions before 5.12. The value of internal.ndata, in the KVM API, is mapped to an array index, which can be updated by a user process at anytime which could lead to an out-of-bounds write. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data integrity and system availability.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's futex implementation. This flaw allows a local attacker to corrupt     system memory or escalate their privileges when creating a futex on a filesystem that is about to be     unmounted. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system     availability. (CVE-2020-14381)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - A flaw was found in the HDLC_PPP module of the Linux kernel in versions before 5.9-rc7. Memory corruption     and a read overflow is caused by improper input validation in the ppp_cp_parse_cr function which can cause     the system to crash or cause a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-25643)

  - In drivers/target/target_core_xcopy.c in the Linux kernel before 5.10.7, insufficient identifier checking     in the LIO SCSI target code can be used by remote attackers to read or write files via directory traversal     in an XCOPY request, aka CID-2896c93811e3. For example, an attack can occur over a network if the attacker     has access to one iSCSI LUN. The attacker gains control over file access because I/O operations are     proxied via an attacker-selected backstore. (CVE-2020-28374)

  - A locking issue was discovered in the tty subsystem of the Linux kernel through 5.9.13.
    drivers/tty/tty_jobctrl.c allows a use-after-free attack against TIOCSPGRP, aka CID-54ffccbf053b.
    (CVE-2020-29661)

  - A heap out-of-bounds write affecting Linux since v2.6.19-rc1 was discovered in net/netfilter/x_tables.c.
    This allows an attacker to gain privileges or cause a DoS (via heap memory corruption) through user name     space (CVE-2021-22555)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c is     adversely affected by the ability of an unprivileged user to craft Netlink messages. (CVE-2021-27364)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. Certain iSCSI data structures do not have     appropriate length constraints or checks, and can exceed the PAGE_SIZE value. An unprivileged user can     send a Netlink message that is associated with iSCSI, and has a length up to the maximum length of a     Netlink message. (CVE-2021-27365)

  - net/bluetooth/hci_request.c in the Linux kernel through 5.12.2 has a race condition for removal of the HCI     controller. (CVE-2021-32399)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.11.14 has a use-after-free in cipso_v4_genopt in net/ipv4/cipso_ipv4.c because     the CIPSO and CALIPSO refcounting for the DOI definitions is mishandled, aka CID-ad5d07f4a9cd. This leads     to writing an arbitrary value. (CVE-2021-33033)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.12.4, net/bluetooth/hci_event.c has a use-after-free when destroying an     hci_chan, aka CID-5c4c8c954409. This leads to writing an arbitrary value. (CVE-2021-33034)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.10.11. PI futexes have a kernel stack use-after-free     during fault handling, allowing local users to execute code in the kernel, aka CID-34b1a1ce1458.
    (CVE-2021-3347)

  - fs/seq_file.c in the Linux kernel 3.16 through 5.13.x before 5.13.4 does not properly restrict seq buffer     allocations, leading to an integer overflow, an Out-of-bounds Write, and escalation to root by an     unprivileged user, aka CID-8cae8cd89f05. (CVE-2021-33909)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in versions before 5.12. The value of internal.ndata, in the KVM API,     is mapped to an array index, which can be updated by a user process at anytime which could lead to an out-     of-bounds write. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data integrity and system availability.
    (CVE-2021-3501)

  - arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_rtas.c in the Linux kernel through 5.13.5 on the powerpc platform allows KVM guest     OS users to cause host OS memory corruption via rtas_args.nargs, aka CID-f62f3c20647e. (CVE-2021-37576)

  - net/sunrpc/xdr.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (xdr_set_page_base slab-out-of-bounds access) by performing many NFS 4.2 READ_PLUS operations.
    (CVE-2021-38201)

  - A read-after-free memory flaw was found in the Linux kernel's garbage collection for Unix domain socket     file handlers in the way users call close() and fget() simultaneously and can potentially trigger a race     condition. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system.
    This flaw affects Linux kernel versions prior to 5.16-rc4. (CVE-2021-4083)

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

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - In do_epoll_ctl and ep_loop_check_proc of eventpoll.c, there is a possible use after free due to a logic     error. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed.
    User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID:
    A-147802478References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2020-0466)

  - A race condition between hugetlb sysctl handlers in mm/hugetlb.c in the Linux kernel before 5.8.8 could be     used by local attackers to corrupt memory, cause a NULL pointer dereference, or possibly have unspecified     other impact, aka CID-17743798d812. (CVE-2020-25285)

  - A flaw was found in the HDLC_PPP module of the Linux kernel in versions before 5.9-rc7. Memory corruption     and a read overflow is caused by improper input validation in the ppp_cp_parse_cr function which can cause     the system to crash or cause a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-25643)

  - A flaw memory leak in the Linux kernel performance monitoring subsystem was found in the way if using     PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_FILTER. A local user could use this flaw to starve the resources causing denial of     service. (CVE-2020-25704)

  - The Linux kernel through 5.8.13 does not properly enforce the Secure Boot Forbidden Signature Database     (aka dbx) protection mechanism. This affects certs/blacklist.c and certs/system_keyring.c.
    (CVE-2020-26541)

  - In drivers/target/target_core_xcopy.c in the Linux kernel before 5.10.7, insufficient identifier checking     in the LIO SCSI target code can be used by remote attackers to read or write files via directory traversal     in an XCOPY request, aka CID-2896c93811e3. For example, an attack can occur over a network if the attacker     has access to one iSCSI LUN. The attacker gains control over file access because I/O operations are     proxied via an attacker-selected backstore. (CVE-2020-28374)

  - In pfkey_dump of af_key.c, there is a possible out-of-bounds read due to a missing bounds check. This     could lead to local information disclosure in the kernel with System execution privileges needed. User     interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID: A-110373476     (CVE-2021-0605)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. A kernel pointer leak can be used to determine     the address of the iscsi_transport structure. When an iSCSI transport is registered with the iSCSI     subsystem, the transport's handle is available to unprivileged users via the sysfs file system, at     /sys/class/iscsi_transport/$TRANSPORT_NAME/handle. When read, the show_transport_handle function (in     drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c) is called, which leaks the handle. This handle is actually the     pointer to an iscsi_transport struct in the kernel module's global variables. (CVE-2021-27363)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c is     adversely affected by the ability of an unprivileged user to craft Netlink messages. (CVE-2021-27364)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFC LLCP protocol implementation in the way the user     performs manipulation with an unknown input for the llcp_sock_bind() function. This flaw allows a local     user to crash or escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2020-25670)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFC LLCP protocol implementation in the way the user     triggers the llcp_sock_connect() function. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system.
    (CVE-2020-25671)

    A memory leak in the Linux kernel's NFC LLCP protocol implementation was found in the way a user triggers     the llcp_sock_connect() function. This flaw allows a local user to starve the resources, causing a denial     of service. (CVE-2020-25672)

    A vulnerability was found in Linux kernel where non-blocking socket in llcp_sock_connect() leads to leak     and eventually hanging-up the system. (CVE-2020-25673)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SCTP socket functionality that triggers a race     condition. This flaw allows a local user to escalate their privileges on the system. The highest threat     from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-23133)

    A vulnerability was discovered in retrieve_ptr_limit in kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel     mechanism to mitigate speculatively out-of-bounds loads (Spectre mitigation). In this flaw a local,     special user privileged (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) BPF program running on affected systems may bypass the protection,     and execute speculatively out-of-bounds loads from the kernel memory. This can be abused to extract     contents of kernel memory via side-channel. (CVE-2021-29155)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's eBPF verification code. By default, accessing the eBPF verifier is     only accessible to privileged users with CAP_SYS_ADMIN. This flaw allows a local user who can insert eBPF     instructions, to use the eBPF verifier to abuse a spectre-like flaw and infer all system memory. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality. (CVE-2021-31829)

    The eBPF RINGBUF bpf_ringbuf_reserve() function in the Linux kernel did not check that the allocated size     was smaller than the ringbuf size, allowing an attacker to perform out-of-bounds writes within the kernel     and therefore, arbitrary code execution. This issue was fixed via commit 4b81ccebaeee (bpf, ringbuf: Deny     reserve of buffers larger than ringbuf) (v5.13-rc4) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4,     v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. It was introduced via 457f44363a88 (bpf: Implement BPF ring buffer and verifier     support for it) (v5.8-rc1). (CVE-2021-3489)

    The eBPF ALU32 bounds tracking for bitwise ops (AND, OR and XOR) in the Linux kernel did not properly     update 32-bit bounds, which could be turned into out of bounds reads and writes in the Linux kernel and     therefore, arbitrary code execution. This issue was fixed via commit 049c4e13714e (bpf: Fix alu32 const     subreg bound tracking on bitwise operations) (v5.13-rc4) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4,     v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. The AND/OR issues were introduced by commit 3f50f132d840 (bpf: Verifier, do     explicit ALU32 bounds tracking) (5.7-rc1) and the XOR variant was introduced by 2921c90d4718 (bpf:Fix a     verifier failure with xor) ( 5.10-rc1). (CVE-2021-3490)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel.  The io_uring PROVIDE_BUFFERS operation allowed the MAX_RW_COUNT     limit to be bypassed, which led to negative values being used in mem_rw when reading /proc/<PID>/mem. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system     availability. (CVE-2021-3491)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in versions before 5.12. The value of internal.ndata, in the KVM API,     is mapped to an array index, which can be updated by a user process at anytime which could lead to an out-     of-bounds write. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data integrity and system availability.
    (CVE-2021-3501)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    net: hso: fix null-ptr-deref during tty device unregistration

    Multiple ttys try to claim the same the minor number causing a doubleunregistration of the same device.
    The first unregistration succeedsbut the next one results in a null-ptr-deref.

    The get_free_serial_index() function returns an available minor numberbut doesn't assign it immediately.
    The assignment is done by the callerlater. But before this assignment, calls to     get_free_serial_index()would return the same minor number.

    Fix this by modifying get_free_serial_index to assign the minor numberimmediately after one is found to be     and rename it to obtain_minor()to better reflect what it does. Similary, rename set_serial_by_index()to     release_minor() and modify it to free up the minor number of thegiven hso_serial. Every obtain_minor()     should have correspondingrelease_minor() call. (CVE-2021-46904)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    net: hso: fix NULL-deref on disconnect regression

    Commit 8a12f8836145 (net: hso: fix null-ptr-deref during tty deviceunregistration) fixed the racy minor     allocation reported by syzbot, butintroduced an unconditional NULL-pointer dereference on every     disconnectinstead.

    Specifically, the serial device table must no longer be accessed afterthe minor has been released by     hso_serial_tty_unregister(). (CVE-2021-46905)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    bpf: Use correct permission flag for mixed signed bounds arithmetic

    We forbid adding unknown scalars with mixed signed bounds due to thespectre v1 masking mitigation. Hence     this also needs bypass_spec_v1flag instead of allow_ptr_leaks. (CVE-2021-46908)
