The remote SUSE Linux SLES11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2021:14630-1 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in net/wireless/nl80211.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.17. It does not check     the length of variable elements in a beacon head, leading to a buffer overflow. (CVE-2019-16746)

  - In uvc_scan_chain_forward of uvc_driver.c, there is a possible linked list corruption due to an unusual     root cause. This could lead to local escalation of privilege in the kernel with no additional execution     privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android     kernelAndroid ID: A-111893654References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2020-0404)

  - In kbd_keycode of keyboard.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check. This     could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User     interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID: A-144161459     (CVE-2020-0431)

  - In various methods of hid-multitouch.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds     check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed.
    User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID:
    A-162844689References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2020-0465)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.6.1, drivers/media/usb/gspca/xirlink_cit.c (aka the Xirlink camera USB     driver) mishandles invalid descriptors, aka CID-a246b4d54770. (CVE-2020-11668)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernels 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)

  - ** REJECT ** DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: CVE-2017-18270. Reason: This candidate is a     duplicate of CVE-2017-18270. Notes: All CVE users should reference CVE-2017-18270 instead of this     candidate. All references and descriptions in this candidate have been removed to prevent accidental     usage. (CVE-2020-14353)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernels futex implementation. This flaw allows a local attacker to corrupt     system memory or escalate their privileges when creating a futex on a filesystem that is about to be     unmounted. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system     availability. (CVE-2020-14381)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in versions before 5.9-rc6. When changing screen size, an out-of-     bounds memory write can occur leading to memory corruption or a denial of service. Due to the nature of     the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out. (CVE-2020-14390)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in fs/block_dev.c in the Linux kernel before 5.8 allows local users to gain     privileges or cause a denial of service by leveraging improper access to a certain error field.
    (CVE-2020-15436)

  - The Linux kernel before version 5.8 is vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference in     drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c:serial8250_isa_init_ports() that allows local users to cause a denial     of service by using the p->serial_in pointer which uninitialized. (CVE-2020-15437)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.8.7, local attackers able to inject conntrack netlink configuration could     overflow a local buffer, causing crashes or triggering use of incorrect protocol numbers in     ctnetlink_parse_tuple_filter in net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c, aka CID-1cc5ef91d2ff.
    (CVE-2020-25211)

  - The rbd block device driver in drivers/block/rbd.c in the Linux kernel through 5.8.9 used incomplete     permission checking for access to rbd devices, which could be leveraged by local attackers to map or unmap     rbd block devices, aka CID-f44d04e696fe. (CVE-2020-25284)

  - A race condition between hugetlb sysctl handlers in mm/hugetlb.c in the Linux kernel before 5.8.8 could be     used by local attackers to corrupt memory, cause a NULL pointer dereference, or possibly have unspecified     other impact, aka CID-17743798d812. (CVE-2020-25285)

  - A flaw was found in the HDLC_PPP module of the Linux kernel in versions before 5.9-rc7. Memory corruption     and a read overflow is caused by improper input validation in the ppp_cp_parse_cr function which can cause     the system to crash or cause a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-25643)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A use-after-free was found in the way the console subsystem was     using ioctls KDGKBSENT and KDSKBSENT. A local user could use this flaw to get read memory access out of     bounds. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality. (CVE-2020-25656)

  - A flaw was found in Linux Kernel because access to the global variable fg_console is not properly     synchronized leading to a use after free in con_font_op. (CVE-2020-25668)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux Kernel where the function sunkbd_reinit having been scheduled by     sunkbd_interrupt before sunkbd being freed. Though the dangling pointer is set to NULL in     sunkbd_disconnect, there is still an alias in sunkbd_reinit causing Use After Free. (CVE-2020-25669)

  - In the nl80211_policy policy of nl80211.c, there is a possible out of bounds read due to a missing bounds     check. This could lead to local information disclosure with System execution privileges needed. User     interaction is not required for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID:
    A-119770583 (CVE-2020-27068)

  - A flaw was found in the way RTAS handled memory accesses in userspace to kernel communication. On a locked     down (usually due to Secure Boot) guest system running on top of PowerVM or KVM hypervisors (pseries     platform) a root like local user could use this flaw to further increase their privileges to that of a     running kernel. (CVE-2020-27777)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernels implementation of MIDI, where an attacker with a local account and     the permissions to issue ioctl commands to midi devices could trigger a use-after-free issue. A write to     this specific memory while freed and before use causes the flow of execution to change and possibly allow     for memory corruption or privilege escalation. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-27786)

  - A buffer over-read (at the framebuffer layer) in the fbcon code in the Linux kernel before 5.8.15 could be     used by local attackers to read kernel memory, aka CID-6735b4632def. (CVE-2020-28915)

  - A slab-out-of-bounds read in fbcon in the Linux kernel before 5.9.7 could be used by local attackers to     read privileged information or potentially crash the kernel, aka CID-3c4e0dff2095. This occurs because     KD_FONT_OP_COPY in drivers/tty/vt/vt.c can be used for manipulations such as font height. (CVE-2020-28974)

  - A locking inconsistency issue was discovered in the tty subsystem of the Linux kernel through 5.9.13.
    drivers/tty/tty_io.c and drivers/tty/tty_jobctrl.c may allow a read-after-free attack against TIOCGSID,     aka CID-c8bcd9c5be24. (CVE-2020-29660)

  - A locking issue was discovered in the tty subsystem of the Linux kernel through 5.9.13.
    drivers/tty/tty_jobctrl.c allows a use-after-free attack against TIOCSPGRP, aka CID-54ffccbf053b.
    (CVE-2020-29661)

  - mwifiex_cmd_802_11_ad_hoc_start in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/join.c in the Linux kernel through     5.10.4 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long SSID value, aka CID-5c455c5ab332.
    (CVE-2020-36158)

  - IBM Power9 (AIX 7.1, 7.2, and VIOS 3.1) processors could allow a local user to obtain sensitive     information from the data in the L1 cache under extenuating circumstances. IBM X-Force ID: 189296.
    (CVE-2020-4788)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.10.11. PI futexes have a kernel stack use-after-free     during fault handling, allowing local users to execute code in the kernel, aka CID-34b1a1ce1458.
