Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 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 Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2022:1988 advisory.

  - An out-of-bounds memory write flaw was found in the Linux kernel's joystick devices subsystem in versions     before 5.9-rc1, in the way the user calls ioctl JSIOCSBTNMAP. This flaw allows a local user to crash the     system or possibly escalate their privileges on the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is     to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-3612)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth subsystem in the way user calls connect to     the socket and disconnect simultaneously due to a race condition. This flaw allows a user to crash the     system or escalate their privileges. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality,     integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-3752)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux SCTP stack. A blind attacker may be able to kill an existing SCTP     association through invalid chunks if the attacker knows the IP-addresses and port numbers being used and     the attacker can send packets with spoofed IP addresses. (CVE-2021-3772)

  - A flaw in netfilter could allow a network-connected attacker to infer openvpn connection endpoint     information for further use in traditional network attacks. (CVE-2021-3773)

  - A memory leak flaw in the Linux kernel's hugetlbfs memory usage was found in the way the user maps some     regions of memory twice using shmget() which are aligned to PUD alignment with the fault of some of the     memory pages. A local user could use this flaw to get unauthorized access to some data. (CVE-2021-4002)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the ARM SIGPAGE functionality of Linux Kernel v5.4.66     and v5.4.54. The latest version (5.11-rc4) seems to still be vulnerable. A userland application can read     the contents of the sigpage, which can leak kernel memory contents. An attacker can read a process's     memory at a specific offset to trigger this vulnerability. This was fixed in kernel releases: 4.14.222     4.19.177 5.4.99 5.10.17 5.11 (CVE-2021-21781)

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

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5265-1 advisory.

    Jeremy Cline discovered a use-after-free in the nouveau graphics driver of the Linux kernel during device     removal. A privileged or physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash). (CVE-2020-27820)

    It was discovered that the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free     vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-3640)

    Likang Luo discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem of the Linux kernel,     leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service     (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-3752)

    It was discovered that the SCTP protocol implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly verify VTAGs     in some situations. A remote attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (connection     disassociation). (CVE-2021-3772)

    It was discovered that the eBPF implementation in the Linux kernel contained a race condition around read-     only maps. A privileged attacker could use this to modify read-only maps. (CVE-2021-4001)

    It was discovered that the NFS server implementation in the Linux kernel contained an out-of-bounds write     vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-4090)

    Felix Wilhelm discovered that the KVM implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle exit     events from AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization-Encrypted State (SEV-ES) guest VMs. An attacker in a guest     VM could use this to cause a denial of service (host kernel crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code in     the host kernel. (CVE-2021-4093)

    Lin Ma discovered that the NFC Controller Interface (NCI) implementation in the Linux kernel contained a     race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a     denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-4202)

    It was discovered that the AMD Radeon GPU driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate writes in     the debugfs file system. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash)     or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-42327)

    Luo Likang discovered that the FireDTV Firewire driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform bounds     checking in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash)     or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-42739)
