The remote SUSE Linux SLES11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2019:14157-1 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.1.4, a buffer overflow occurs when checking userspace params in     drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cx24116.c. The maximum size for a DiSEqC command is 6, according to the     userspace API. However, the code allows larger values such as 23. (CVE-2015-9289)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.18.7. In create_qp_common in     drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/qp.c, mlx5_ib_create_qp_resp was never initialized, resulting in a leak of     stack memory to userspace. (CVE-2018-20855)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when certain central processing units (CPU) speculatively     access memory, aka 'Windows Kernel Information Disclosure Vulnerability'. This CVE ID is unique from     CVE-2019-1071, CVE-2019-1073. (CVE-2019-1125)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.7. A NULL pointer dereference can occur when     megasas_create_frame_pool() fails in megasas_alloc_cmds() in drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c.
    This causes a Denial of Service, related to a use-after-free. (CVE-2019-11810)

  - In parse_hid_report_descriptor in drivers/input/tablet/gtco.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.1, a     malicious USB device can send an HID report that triggers an out-of-bounds write during generation of     debugging messages. (CVE-2019-13631)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.2.3, set_geometry in drivers/block/floppy.c does not validate the sect and     head fields, as demonstrated by an integer overflow and out-of-bounds read. It can be triggered by an     unprivileged local user when a floppy disk has been inserted. NOTE: QEMU creates the floppy device by     default. (CVE-2019-14283)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.2.3, drivers/block/floppy.c allows a denial of service by setup_format_params     division-by-zero.

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

  - An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's networking subsystem processed TCP Selective     Acknowledgment (SACK) segments. While processing SACK     segments, the Linux kernel's socket buffer (SKB) data     structure becomes fragmented. Each fragment is about     TCP maximum segment size (MSS) bytes. To efficiently     process SACK blocks, the Linux kernel merges multiple     fragmented SKBs into one, potentially overflowing the     variable holding the number of segments. A remote     attacker could use this flaw to crash the Linux kernel     by sending a crafted sequence of SACK segments on a TCP     connection with small value of TCP MSS, resulting in a     denial of service (DoS). (CVE-2019-11477)

  - Kernel: tcp: excessive resource consumption while     processing SACK blocks allows remote denial of service     (CVE-2019-11478)

  - Kernel: tcp: excessive resource consumption for TCP     connections with low MSS allows remote denial of     service (CVE-2019-11479)

  - The Linux kernel is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds read     in ext4/balloc.c:ext4_valid_block_bitmap() function. An     attacker could trick a legitimate user or a privileged     attacker could exploit this by mounting a crafted ext4     image to cause a crash.(CVE-2018-1093)

  - The Siemens R3964 line discipline driver in     drivers/tty/n_r3964.c in the Linux kernel before 5.0.8     has multiple race conditions.(CVE-2019-11486)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel where the coredump     implementation does not use locking or other mechanisms     to prevent vma layout or vma flags changes while it     runs. This allows local users to obtain sensitive     information, cause a denial of service (DoS), or     possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a     race condition with mmget_not_zero or get_task_mm     calls.(CVE-2019-11599)

  - A race condition in perf_event_open() allows local     attackers to leak sensitive data from setuid programs.
    As no relevant locks (in particular the     cred_guard_mutex) are held during the     ptrace_may_access() call, it is possible for the     specified target task to perform an execve() syscall     with setuid execution before perf_event_alloc()     actually attaches to it, allowing an attacker to bypass     the ptrace_may_access() check and the     perf_event_exit_task(current) call that is performed in     install_exec_creds() during privileged execve()     calls.(CVE-2019-3901)

  - In the tun subsystem in the Linux kernel before     4.13.14, dev_get_valid_name is not called before     register_netdevice. This allows local users to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and panic)     via an ioctl(TUNSETIFF) call with a dev name containing     a / character. This is similar to     CVE-2013-4343.(CVE-2018-7191)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before     4.20. There is a race condition in smp_task_timedout()     and smp_task_done() in     drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c, leading to a     use-after-free.(CVE-2018-20836)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, prior to version     5.0.7, in drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c,     where a NULL pointer dereference can occur when     megasas_create_frame_pool() fails in     megasas_alloc_cmds(). An attacker can crash the system     if they were able to load the megaraid_sas kernel     module and groom memory beforehand, leading to a denial     of service (DoS), related to a     use-after-free.(CVE-2019-11810)
