According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - drivers/hid/hid-zpff.c in the Human Interface Device     (HID) subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.11, when     CONFIG_HID_ZEROPLUS is enabled, allows physically     proximate attackers to cause a denial of service     (heap-based out-of-bounds write) via a crafted     device.(CVE-2013-2889i1/4%0

  - The capabilities implementation in the Linux kernel     before 3.14.8 does not properly consider that     namespaces are inapplicable to inodes, which allows     local users to bypass intended chmod restrictions by     first creating a user namespace, as demonstrated by     setting the setgid bit on a file with group ownership     of root.(CVE-2014-4014i1/4%0

  - The function drivers/usb/core/config.c in the Linux     kernel, allows local users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device,     related to the USB_DT_INTERFACE_ASSOCIATION     descriptor.(CVE-2017-16531i1/4%0

  - The snd_timer_interrupt function in sound/core/timer.c     in the Linux kernel before 4.4.1 does not properly     maintain a certain linked list, which allows local     users to cause a denial of service (race condition and     system crash) via a crafted ioctl     call.(CVE-2016-2545i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel where the deletion     of a file or directory could trigger an unmount and     reveal data under a mount point. This flaw was     inadvertently introduced with the new feature of being     able to lazily unmount a mount tree when using file     system user namespaces.(CVE-2015-4176i1/4%0

  - The do_shmat function in ipc/shm.c in the Linux kernel,     through 4.9.12, does not restrict the address     calculated by a certain rounding operation. This allows     privileged local users to map page zero and,     consequently, bypass a protection mechanism that exists     for the mmap system call. This is possible by making     crafted shmget and shmat system calls in a privileged     context.(CVE-2017-5669i1/4%0

  - In drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hns/hns_enet.c in the     Linux kernel, before 4.13, local users can cause a     denial of service (use-after-free and BUG) or possibly     have unspecified other impact by leveraging differences     in skb handling between hns_nic_net_xmit_hw and     hns_nic_net_xmit.(CVE-2017-18218i1/4%0

  - The ioapic_deliver function in virt/kvm/ioapic.c in the     Linux kernel through 3.14.1 does not properly validate     the kvm_irq_delivery_to_apic return value, which allows     guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS     crash) via a crafted entry in the redirection table of     an I/O APIC. NOTE: the affected code was moved to the     ioapic_service function before the vulnerability was     announced.(CVE-2014-0155i1/4%0

  - 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-2013-7421i1/4%0

  - Off-by-one error in the get_prng_bytes function in     crypto/ansi_cprng.c in the Linux kernel through 3.11.4     makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to     defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via multiple     requests for small amounts of data, leading to improper     management of the state of the consumed     data.(CVE-2013-4345i1/4%0

  - sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4.1     uses an incorrect type of mutex, which allows local     users to cause a denial of service (race condition,     use-after-free, and system crash) via a crafted ioctl     call.(CVE-2016-2546i1/4%0

  - The do_get_mempolicy function in mm/mempolicy.c in the     Linux kernel before 4.12.9 allows local users to cause     a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via crafted system     calls.(CVE-2018-10675i1/4%0

  - A certain backport in the TCP Fast Open implementation     for the Linux kernel before 3.18 does not properly     maintain a count value, which allow local users to     cause a denial of service (system crash) via the Fast     Open feature, as demonstrated by visiting the     chrome://flags/#enable-tcp-fast-open URL when using     certain 3.10.x through 3.16.x kernel builds, including     longterm-maintenance releases and ckt (aka Canonical     Kernel Team) builds.(CVE-2015-3332i1/4%0

  - It was found that the try_to_unmap_cluster() function     in the Linux kernel's Memory Managment subsystem did     not properly handle page locking in certain cases,     which could potentially trigger the BUG_ON() macro in     the mlock_vma_page() function. A local, unprivileged     user could use this flaw to crash the     system.(CVE-2014-3122i1/4%0

  - The blkcg_init_queue function in block/blk-cgroup.c in     the Linux kernel, before 4.11, allows local users to     cause a denial of service (double free) or possibly     have unspecified other impact by triggering a creation     failure.(CVE-2018-7480i1/4%0

  - The create_fixed_stream_quirk function in     sound/usb/quirks.c in the snd-usb-audio driver in the     Linux kernel before 4.5.1 allows physically proximate     attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference or double free, and system crash) via a     crafted endpoints value in a USB device     descriptor.(CVE-2016-2184i1/4%0

  - The etm_setup_aux function in     drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm-perf.c in the     Linux kernel before 4.10.2 allows attackers to cause a     denial of service (panic) because a parameter is     incorrectly used as a local variable.(CVE-2018-11232i1/4%0

  - A division-by-zero in set_termios(), when debugging is     enabled, was found in the Linux kernel. When the     [io_ti] driver is loaded, a local unprivileged attacker     can request incorrect high transfer speed in the     change_port_settings() in the     drivers/usb/serial/io_ti.c so that the divisor value     becomes zero and causes a system crash resulting in a     denial of service.(CVE-2017-18360i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found where the XFS filesystem code     mishandles a user-settable inode flag in the Linux     kernel prior to 4.14-rc1. This can cause a local denial     of service via a kernel panic.(CVE-2017-14340i1/4%0

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     4.19. An information leak in cdrom_ioctl_select_disc in     drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c could be used by local attackers     to read kernel memory because a cast from unsigned long     to int interferes with bounds     checking.(CVE-2018-18710i1/4%0
