An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.16-rc6. _rtw_init_xmit_priv in drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_xmit.c lacks check of the return value of rtw_alloc_hwxmits() and will cause the null pointer dereference.

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

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.16-rc6. uapi_finalize in     drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_uapi.c lacks check of kmalloc_array(). (CVE-2022-3105)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.16-rc6. netvsc_get_ethtool_stats in     drivers/net/hyperv/netvsc_drv.c lacks check of the return value of kvmalloc_array() and will cause the     null pointer dereference. (CVE-2022-3107)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.16-rc6. kfd_parse_subtype_iolink in     drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdkfd/kfd_crat.c lacks check of the return value of kmemdup(). (CVE-2022-3108)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.16-rc6. _rtw_init_xmit_priv in     drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_xmit.c lacks check of the return value of rtw_alloc_hwxmits() and will     cause the null pointer dereference. (CVE-2022-3110)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.16-rc6. free_charger_irq() in     drivers/power/supply/wm8350_power.c lacks free of WM8350_IRQ_CHG_FAST_RDY, which is registered in     wm8350_init_charger(). (CVE-2022-3111)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.16-rc6. malidp_crtc_reset in     drivers/gpu/drm/arm/malidp_crtc.c lacks check of the return value of kzalloc() and will cause the null     pointer dereference. (CVE-2022-3115)

  - A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel video4linux driver was found in the way user triggers     em28xx_usb_probe() for the Empia 28xx based TV cards. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system     or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-3239)

  - A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Linux Kernel. Affected by this issue     is the function del_timer of the file drivers/isdn/mISDN/l1oip_core.c of the component Bluetooth. The     manipulation leads to use after free. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The identifier     of this vulnerability is VDB-211088. (CVE-2022-3565)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A NULL pointer dereference may occur while a slip driver is in     progress to detach in sl_tx_timeout in drivers/net/slip/slip.c. This issue could allow an attacker to     crash the system or leak internal kernel information. (CVE-2022-41858)

  - Guests can trigger deadlock in Linux netback driver T[his CNA information record relates to multiple CVEs;
    the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.] The patch for XSA-392 introduced     another issue which might result in a deadlock when trying to free the SKB of a packet dropped due to the     XSA-392 handling (CVE-2022-42328). Additionally when dropping packages for other reasons the same deadlock     could occur in case of netpoll being active for the interface the xen-netback driver is connected to     (CVE-2022-42329). (CVE-2022-42328, CVE-2022-42329)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.9. drivers/media/dvb-core/dvbdev.c has a use-     after-free, related to dvb_register_device dynamically allocating fops. (CVE-2022-45884)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.9. drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_frontend.c has a     race condition that can cause a use-after-free when a device is disconnected. (CVE-2022-45885)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.9. drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_net.c has a     .disconnect versus dvb_device_open race condition that leads to a use-after-free. (CVE-2022-45886)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.9. drivers/media/usb/ttusb-dec/ttusb_dec.c has a     memory leak because of the lack of a dvb_frontend_detach call. (CVE-2022-45887)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.10. In drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_ca_en50221.c, a     use-after-free can occur is there is a disconnect after an open, because of the lack of a wait_event.
    (CVE-2022-45919)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.10. l2cap_config_req in net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c     has an integer wraparound via L2CAP_CONF_REQ packets. (CVE-2022-45934)

  - cbq_classify in net/sched/sch_cbq.c in the Linux kernel through 6.1.4 allows attackers to cause a denial     of service (slab-out-of-bounds read) because of type confusion (non-negative numbers can sometimes     indicate a TC_ACT_SHOT condition rather than valid classification results). (CVE-2023-23454)

  - atm_tc_enqueue in net/sched/sch_atm.c in the Linux kernel through 6.1.4 allows attackers to cause a denial     of service because of type confusion (non-negative numbers can sometimes indicate a TC_ACT_SHOT condition     rather than valid classification results). (CVE-2023-23455)

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

The version of kernel installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2022-3110 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.16-rc6. _rtw_init_xmit_priv in     drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_xmit.c lacks check of the return value of rtw_alloc_hwxmits() and will     cause the null pointer dereference. (CVE-2022-3110)
