A flaw was found in dpdk. This flaw allows a malicious vhost-user master to attach an unexpected number of fds as ancillary data to VHOST_USER_GET_INFLIGHT_FD / VHOST_USER_SET_INFLIGHT_FD messages that are not closed by the vhost-user slave. By sending such messages continuously, the vhost-user master exhausts available fd in the vhost-user slave process, leading to a denial of service.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 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.

  - ceph: cephx protocol is vulnerable to replay attack (CVE-2018-1128)

  - A flaw was found in the way signature calculation was handled by cephx authentication protocol. An     attacker having access to ceph cluster network who is able to alter the message payload was able to bypass     signature checks done by cephx protocol. Ceph branches master, mimic, luminous and jewel are believed to     be vulnerable. (CVE-2018-1129)

  - A flaw was found in all dpdk version 17.x.x before 17.11.8, 16.x.x before 16.11.10, 18.x.x before 18.11.4     and 19.x.x before 19.08.1 where a malicious master, or a container with access to vhost_user socket, can     send specially crafted VRING_SET_NUM messages, resulting in a memory leak including file descriptors. This     flaw could lead to a denial of service condition. (CVE-2019-14818)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

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

  - A flaw was found in the vhost library in DPDK. Function vhost_user_set_inflight_fd() does not validate     `msg->payload.inflight.num_queues`, possibly causing out-of-bounds memory read/write. Any software using     DPDK vhost library may crash as a result of this vulnerability. (CVE-2021-3839)

  - A flaw was found in dpdk. This flaw allows a malicious vhost-user master to attach an unexpected number of     fds as ancillary data to VHOST_USER_GET_INFLIGHT_FD / VHOST_USER_SET_INFLIGHT_FD messages that are not     closed by the vhost-user slave. By sending such messages continuously, the vhost-user master exhausts     available fd in the vhost-user slave process, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2022-0669)
