critical Nessus Plugin ID 199273

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat 6 host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities that will not be patched.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 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.

- kernel: Buffer overflow due to unbounded strcpy in ISDN I4L driver (CVE-2017-12762)

- kernel: buffer-overflow hardening in WiFi beacon validation code. (CVE-2019-16746)

- include/linux/init_task.h in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35 does not prevent signals with a process group ID of zero from reaching the swapper process, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by leveraging access to this process group. (CVE-2010-5328)

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

Solution
