The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3674-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the netfilter subsystem of the Linux kernel did not properly validate ebtables     offsets. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-1068)

    It was discovered that a NULL pointer dereference existed in the RDS (Reliable Datagram Sockets) protocol     implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash). (CVE-2018-7492)

    Eyal Itkin discovered that the USB displaylink video adapter driver in the Linux kernel did not properly     validate mmap offsets sent from userspace. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information     (kernel memory) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-8781)

    Xingyuan Lin discovered that a out-of-bounds read existed in the USB Video Class (UVC) driver of the Linux     kernel. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2017-0627)

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.

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.

  - kernel: out of bounds read in drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/technisat-usb2.c (CVE-2019-15505)

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

  - block/scsi_ioctl.c in the Linux kernel through 3.8 does not properly consider the SCSI device class during     authorization of SCSI commands, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via an     SG_IO ioctl call that leverages overlapping opcodes. (CVE-2012-4542)

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 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: netfilter: use-after-free in tcpmss_mangle_packet function in net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c     (CVE-2017-18017)

  - The ia64 subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.26 allows local users to cause a denial of service     (stack consumption and system crash) via a crafted application that leverages the mishandling of invalid     Register Stack Engine (RSE) state. (CVE-2006-3635)

  - drivers/media/video/videobuf-vmalloc.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.24 does not initialize     videobuf_mapping data structures, which allows local users to trigger an incorrect count value and     videobuf leak via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-5321. (CVE-2007-6761)

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

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.
