The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 5.18.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-5.18.1 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.2.10, there is a use-after-free bug that can be caused by a malicious USB     device in the drivers/hid/usbhid/hiddev.c driver, aka CID-9c09b214f30e. (CVE-2019-19527)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel in versions after 4.5-rc1 in the way mremap handled DAX Huge Pages.
    This flaw allows a local attacker with access to a DAX enabled storage to escalate their privileges on the     system. (CVE-2020-10757)

  - In jQuery versions greater than or equal to 1.2 and before 3.5.0, passing HTML from untrusted sources -     even after sanitizing it - to one of jQuery's DOM manipulation methods (i.e. .html(), .append(), and     others) may execute untrusted code. This problem is patched in jQuery 3.5.0. (CVE-2020-11022)

  - In jQuery versions greater than or equal to 1.0.3 and before 3.5.0, passing HTML containing <option>     elements from untrusted sources - even after sanitizing it - to one of jQuery's DOM manipulation methods     (i.e. .html(), .append(), and others) may execute untrusted code. This problem is patched in jQuery 3.5.0.
    (CVE-2020-11023)

  - An issue was found in Linux kernel before 5.5.4. The mwifiex_cmd_append_vsie_tlv() function in     drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/scan.c allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of     service because of an incorrect memcpy and buffer overflow, aka CID-b70261a288ea. (CVE-2020-12653)

  - An issue was found in Linux kernel before 5.5.4. mwifiex_ret_wmm_get_status() in     drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/wmm.c allows a remote AP to trigger a heap-based buffer overflow     because of an incorrect memcpy, aka CID-3a9b153c5591. (CVE-2020-12654)

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: Libraries). Supported     versions that are affected are Java SE: 8u251, 11.0.7 and 14.0.1; Java SE Embedded: 8u251. Difficult to     exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to     compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized     update, insert or delete access to some of Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data as well as     unauthorized read access to a subset of Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data. Note: Applies to client     and server deployment of Java. This vulnerability can be exploited through sandboxed Java Web Start     applications and sandboxed Java applets. It can also be exploited by supplying data to APIs in the     specified Component without using sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, such as     through a web service. (CVE-2020-14556)

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: JSSE). Supported     versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u261, 8u251, 11.0.7 and 14.0.1; Java SE Embedded: 8u251.
    Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via TLS to     compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized     read access to a subset of Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data. Note: Applies to client and server     deployment of Java. This vulnerability can be exploited through sandboxed Java Web Start applications and     sandboxed Java applets. It can also be exploited by supplying data to APIs in the specified Component     without using sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, such as through a web     service. (CVE-2020-14577)

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: Libraries). Supported     versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u261 and 8u251; Java SE Embedded: 8u251. Difficult to exploit     vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise     Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to     cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Note: Applies to client and     server deployment of Java. This vulnerability can be exploited through sandboxed Java Web Start     applications and sandboxed Java applets. It can also be exploited by supplying data to APIs in the     specified Component without using sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, such as     through a web service. (CVE-2020-14578, CVE-2020-14579)

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: Libraries). Supported     versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u261, 8u251, 11.0.7 and 14.0.1; Java SE Embedded: 8u251.
    Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple     protocols to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks require human interaction from a     person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Java SE, Java SE Embedded, attacks may     significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover     of Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Note: This vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients     running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code     (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability     does not apply to Java deployments, typically in servers, that load and run only trusted code (e.g., code     installed by an administrator). (CVE-2020-14583)

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: 2D). Supported     versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u261, 8u251, 11.0.7 and 14.0.1; Java SE Embedded: 8u251. Easily     exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to     compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other     than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Java SE, Java SE Embedded, attacks may significantly     impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation,     deletion or modification access to critical data or all Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data. Note:
    This vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start     applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the     internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability does not apply to Java     deployments, typically in servers, that load and run only trusted code (e.g., code installed by an     administrator). (CVE-2020-14593)

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: JAXP). Supported     versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u261, 8u251, 11.0.7 and 14.0.1; Java SE Embedded: 8u251. Easily     exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to     compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized     update, insert or delete access to some of Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data. Note: This     vulnerability can only be exploited by supplying data to APIs in the specified Component without using     Untrusted Java Web Start applications or Untrusted Java applets, such as through a web service.
