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

  - The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz),     the core of any Linux operating system. The kernel     handles the basic functions of the operating system:
    memory allocation, process allocation, device input and     output, etc.Security Fix(es):An information leak flaw     was found in the way the Linux kernel's Bluetooth stack     implementation handled initialization of stack memory     when handling certain AMP packets. A remote attacker in     adjacent range could use this flaw to leak small     portions of stack memory on the system by sending a     specially crafted AMP packets. The highest threat from     this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality.(CVE-2020-12352)A flaw was found in the     way the Linux kernel Bluetooth implementation handled     L2CAP packets with A2MP CID. A remote attacker in     adjacent range could use this flaw to crash the system     causing denial of service or potentially execute     arbitrary code on the system by sending a specially     crafted L2CAP packet. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity     as well as system availability.(CVE-2020-12351)A heap     buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's Bluetooth implementation processed extended     advertising report events. This flaw allows a remote     attacker in an adjacent range to crash the system,     causing a denial of service or to potentially execute     arbitrary code on the system by sending a specially     crafted Bluetooth packet. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well     as system availability.(CVE-2020-24490)A flaw was found     in the Linux kernel in versions before 5.9-rc7. Traffic     between two Geneve endpoints may be unencrypted when     IPsec is configured to encrypt traffic for the specific     UDP port used by the GENEVE tunnel allowing anyone     between the two endpoints to read the traffic     unencrypted. The main threat from this vulnerability is     to data confidentiality.(CVE-2020-25645)A flaw was     found in the Linux kernel's implementation of the     invert video code on VGA consoles when a local attacker     attempts to resize the console, calling an ioctl     VT_RESIZE, which causes an out-of-bounds write to     occur. This flaw allows a local user with access to the     VGA console to crash the system, potentially escalating     their privileges on the system. The highest threat from     this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and     integrity as well as system     availability.(CVE-2020-14331)A missing CAP_NET_RAW     check in NFC socket creation in netfc/rawsock.c in the     Linux kernel before 5.8.2 could be used by local     attackers to create raw sockets, bypassing security     mechanisms, aka CID-26896f01467a.(CVE-2020-26088)perf:

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's file system implementation handled rename operations in which the source was inside and the destination was outside of a bind mount. A privileged user inside a container could use this flaw to escape the bind mount and, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system.
(CVE-2015-2925, Important)

* A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's IPC subsystem initialized certain fields in an IPC object structure that were later used for permission checking before inserting the object into a globally visible list. A local, unprivileged user could potentially use this flaw to elevate their privileges on the system.
(CVE-2015-7613, Important)

* It was found that reporting emulation failures to user space could lead to either a local (CVE-2014-7842) or a L2->L1 (CVE-2010-5313) denial of service. In the case of a local denial of service, an attacker must have access to the MMIO area or be able to access an I/O port. (CVE-2010-5313, CVE-2014-7842, Moderate)

* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's KVM subsystem handled non-canonical addresses when emulating instructions that change the RIP (for example, branches or calls). A guest user with access to an I/O or MMIO region could use this flaw to crash the guest.
(CVE-2014-3647, Moderate)

* It was found that the Linux kernel memory resource controller's (memcg) handling of OOM (out of memory) conditions could lead to deadlocks. An attacker could use this flaw to lock up the system.
(CVE-2014-8171, Moderate)

* A race condition flaw was found between the chown and execve system calls. A local, unprivileged user could potentially use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2015-3339, Moderate)

* A flaw was discovered in the way the Linux kernel's TTY subsystem handled the tty shutdown phase. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service on the system. (CVE-2015-4170, Moderate)

* A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the SCTP implementation. A local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service on the system by triggering a kernel panic when creating multiple sockets in parallel while the system did not have the SCTP module loaded. (CVE-2015-5283, Moderate)

* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's perf subsystem retrieved userlevel stack traces on PowerPC systems. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service on the system. (CVE-2015-6526, Moderate)

* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Crypto subsystem handled automatic loading of kernel modules. A local user could use this flaw to load any installed kernel module, and thus increase the attack surface of the running kernel. (CVE-2013-7421, CVE-2014-9644, Low)

* An information leak flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel changed certain segment registers and thread-local storage (TLS) during a context switch. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to leak the user space TLS base address of an arbitrary process.
(CVE-2014-9419, Low)

* It was found that the Linux kernel KVM subsystem's sysenter instruction emulation was not sufficient. An unprivileged guest user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges by tricking the hypervisor to emulate a SYSENTER instruction in 16-bit mode, if the guest OS did not initialize the SYSENTER model-specific registers (MSRs). Note: Certified guest operating systems for Red Hat Enterprise Linux with KVM do initialize the SYSENTER MSRs and are thus not vulnerable to this issue when running on a KVM hypervisor.
(CVE-2015-0239, Low)

* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled the securelevel functionality after performing a kexec operation. A local attacker could use this flaw to bypass the security mechanism of the securelevel/secureboot combination. (CVE-2015-7837, Low)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2015:2152 advisory.

    The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux     operating system.

    * A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's file system implementation     handled rename operations in which the source was inside and the     destination was outside of a bind mount. A privileged user inside a     container could use this flaw to escape the bind mount and, potentially,     escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2015-2925, Important)

    * A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's IPC     subsystem initialized certain fields in an IPC object structure that were     later used for permission checking before inserting the object into a     globally visible list. A local, unprivileged user could potentially use     this flaw to elevate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2015-7613,     Important)

    * It was found that reporting emulation failures to user space could lead     to either a local (CVE-2014-7842) or a L2->L1 (CVE-2010-5313) denial of     service. In the case of a local denial of service, an attacker must have     access to the MMIO area or be able to access an I/O port. (CVE-2010-5313,     CVE-2014-7842, Moderate)

    * A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's KVM subsystem handled     non-canonical addresses when emulating instructions that change the RIP     (for example, branches or calls). A guest user with access to an I/O or     MMIO region could use this flaw to crash the guest. (CVE-2014-3647,     Moderate)

    * It was found that the Linux kernel memory resource controller's (memcg)     handling of OOM (out of memory) conditions could lead to deadlocks.
    An attacker could use this flaw to lock up the system. (CVE-2014-8171,     Moderate)

    * A race condition flaw was found between the chown and execve system     calls. A local, unprivileged user could potentially use this flaw to     escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2015-3339, Moderate)

    * A flaw was discovered in the way the Linux kernel's TTY subsystem handled     the tty shutdown phase. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to     cause a denial of service on the system. (CVE-2015-4170, Moderate)

    * A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the SCTP implementation.
    A local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service on the system     by triggering a kernel panic when creating multiple sockets in parallel     while the system did not have the SCTP module loaded. (CVE-2015-5283,     Moderate)

    * A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's perf subsystem retrieved     userlevel stack traces on PowerPC systems. A local, unprivileged user could     use this flaw to cause a denial of service on the system. (CVE-2015-6526,     Moderate)

    * A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Crypto subsystem handled     automatic loading of kernel modules. A local user could use this flaw to     load any installed kernel module, and thus increase the attack surface of     the running kernel. (CVE-2013-7421, CVE-2014-9644, Low)

    * An information leak flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel changed     certain segment registers and thread-local storage (TLS) during a context     switch. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to leak the user     space TLS base address of an arbitrary process. (CVE-2014-9419, Low)

    * It was found that the Linux kernel KVM subsystem's sysenter instruction     emulation was not sufficient. An unprivileged guest user could use this     flaw to escalate their privileges by tricking the hypervisor to emulate a     SYSENTER instruction in 16-bit mode, if the guest OS did not initialize the     SYSENTER model-specific registers (MSRs). Note: Certified guest operating     systems for Red Hat Enterprise Linux with KVM do initialize the SYSENTER     MSRs and are thus not vulnerable to this issue when running on a KVM     hypervisor. (CVE-2015-0239, Low)

    * A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled the securelevel     functionality after performing a kexec operation. A local attacker could     use this flaw to bypass the security mechanism of the     securelevel/secureboot combination. (CVE-2015-7837, Low)

In some cases, a reach out of the     index after one memory allocation by kmalloc will cause     a kernel panic. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to data confidentiality and system     availability.(CVE-2020-10742)

Updated kernel-rt packages that fix multiple security issues, several bugs, and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

The kernel-rt packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's file system implementation handled rename operations in which the source was inside and the destination was outside of a bind mount. A privileged user inside a container could use this flaw to escape the bind mount and, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system.
(CVE-2015-2925, Important)

* A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's IPC subsystem initialized certain fields in an IPC object structure that were later used for permission checking before inserting the object into a globally visible list. A local, unprivileged user could potentially use this flaw to elevate their privileges on the system.
(CVE-2015-7613, Important)

* It was found that the Linux kernel memory resource controller's (memcg) handling of OOM (out of memory) conditions could lead to deadlocks. An attacker able to continuously spawn new processes within a single memory-constrained cgroup during an OOM event could use this flaw to lock up the system. (CVE-2014-8171, Moderate)

* A race condition flaw was found between the chown and execve system calls. When changing the owner of a setuid user binary to root, the race condition could momentarily make the binary setuid root. A local, unprivileged user could potentially use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2015-3339, Moderate)

* A flaw was discovered in the way the Linux kernel's TTY subsystem handled the tty shutdown phase. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service on the system by holding a reference to the ldisc lock during tty shutdown, causing a deadlock.
(CVE-2015-4170, Moderate)

* A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the SCTP implementation. A local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service on the system by triggering a kernel panic when creating multiple sockets in parallel while the system did not have the SCTP module loaded. (CVE-2015-5283, Moderate)

* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Crypto subsystem handled automatic loading of kernel modules. A local user could use this flaw to load any installed kernel module, and thus increase the attack surface of the running kernel. (CVE-2013-7421, CVE-2014-9644, Low)

* An information leak flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel changed certain segment registers and thread-local storage (TLS) during a context switch. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to leak the user space TLS base address of an arbitrary process.
(CVE-2014-9419, Low)

* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled the securelevel functionality after performing a kexec operation. A local attacker could use this flaw to bypass the security mechanism of the securelevel/secureboot combination. (CVE-2015-7837, Low)

Red Hat would like to thank Linn Crosetto of HP for reporting the CVE-2015-7837 issue. The CVE-2015-5283 issue was discovered by Ji Jianwen from Red Hat engineering.

All kernel-rt users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues and add these enhancements. The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3405-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the POSIX message queue implementation in     the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-11176)

    Huang Weller discovered that the ext4 filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel mishandled a needs-     flushing-before-commit list. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information.
    (CVE-2017-7495)

    It was discovered that a buffer overflow existed in the Broadcom FullMAC WLAN driver in the Linux kernel.
    A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2017-7541)

    It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not honor the UEFI secure boot mode when performing a kexec     operation. A local attacker could use this to bypass secure boot restrictions. (CVE-2015-7837)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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