The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - In the Linux kernel through 4.15.4, the floppy driver reveals the addresses of kernel functions and global     variables using printk calls within the function show_floppy in drivers/block/floppy.c. An attacker can     read this information from dmesg and use the addresses to find the locations of kernel code and data and     bypass kernel security protections such as KASLR. (CVE-2018-7273)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

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 :

  - The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz),     the core of any Linux operating system. The kernel     handles the basic functions of the operating system:
    memory allocation, process allocation, device input and     output, etc.Security Fix(es):The uas driver in the     Linux kernel before 4.13.6 allows local users to cause     a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system     crash), or possibly have unspecified other impacts via     a crafted USB device, related to     drivers/usb/storage/uas-detect.h and     drivers/usb/storage/uas.c.(CVE-2017-16530)The     implementation of big key management in     security/keys/big_key.c in the Linux kernel before     4.8.7 mishandles unsuccessful crypto registration in     conjunction with successful key-type registration,     which allows local users to cause a denial of service     (NULL pointer dereference and panic) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted application that     uses the big_key data type.(CVE-2016-9313)The Linux     kernel allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary     code via UDP traffic that triggers an unsafe second     checksum calculation during execution of a recv system     call with the MSG_PEEK flag. This may create a kernel     panic or memory corruption leading to privilege     escalation.(CVE-2016-10229)Buffer overflow in the     exitcode_proc_write function in     arch/um/kernel/exitcode.c in the Linux kernel before     3.12 allows local users to cause a denial of service or     possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging     root privileges for a write operation.(CVE-2013-4512)It     was found that unsharing a mount namespace could allow     a user to see data beneath their restricted     namespace.(CVE-2014-9717)A divide-by-zero flaw was     discovered in the Linux kernel built with KVM     virtualization support(CONFIG_KVM). The flaw occurs in     the KVM module's Programmable Interval Timer(PIT)     emulation, when PIT counters for channel 1 or 2 are set     to zero(0) and a privileged user inside the guest     attempts to read these counters. A privileged guest     user with access to PIT I/O ports could exploit this     issue to crash the host kernel (denial of     service).(CVE-2015-7513)The ims_pcu_parse_cdc_data     function in drivers/input/misc/ims-pcu.c in the Linux     kernel before 4.5.1 allows physically proximate     attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash)     via a USB device without both a master and a slave     interface.(CVE-2016-3689)Stack-based buffer overflow in     the brcmf_cfg80211_start_ap() function in     'driverset/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg8021     1.c' in the Linux kernel before 4.7.5 allows local     users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a long SSID     Information Element in a command to a Netlink     socket.(CVE-2016-8658)drivers/hid/hid-sony.c in the     Human Interface Device (HID) subsystem in the Linux     kernel through 3.11, when CONFIG_HID_SONY is enabled,     allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial     of service (heap-based out-of-bounds write) via a     crafted device.(CVE-2013-2890)An issue where a provided     address with access_ok() is not checked was discovered     in i915_gem_execbuffer2_ioctl in     drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_execbuffer.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.19.13. A local attacker can craft a     malicious IOCTL function call to overwrite arbitrary     kernel memory, resulting in a Denial of Service or     privilege escalation.(CVE-2018-20669)It was found that     the permission checks performed by the Linux kernel     when a netlink message was received were not     sufficient. A local, unprivileged user could     potentially bypass these restrictions by passing a     netlink socket as stdout or stderr to a more privileged     process and altering the output of this     process.(CVE-2014-0181)An issue was discovered in the     XFS filesystem in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr_leaf.c in the     Linux kernel. A NULL pointer dereference may occur for     a corrupted xfs image after xfs_da_shrink_inode() is     called with a NULL bp. This can lead to a system crash     and a denial of service.(CVE-2018-13094)The     irda_setsockopt function in net/irda/af_irda.c in the     Linux kernel, through 4.16, allows local users to cause     a denial of service (due to a use-after-free of the     ias_object and a system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact by leveraging an AF_IRDA     socket.(CVE-2018-6555)The x86/fpu (Floating Point Unit)     subsystem in the Linux kernel, when a processor     supports the xsave feature but not the xsaves feature,     does not correctly handle attempts to set reserved bits     in the xstate header via the ptrace() or rt_sigreturn()     system call. This allows local users to read the FPU     registers of other processes on the system, related to     arch/x86/kernel/fpu/regset.c and     arch/x86/kernel/fpu/signal.c.(CVE-2017-15537)The     fst_get_iface function in driverset/wan/farsync.c in     the Linux kernel before 3.11.7 does not properly     initialize a certain data structure, which allows local     users to obtain sensitive information from kernel     memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for     an SIOCWANDEV ioctl call.(CVE-2014-1444)In the Linux     kernel, through 4.15.4, the floppy driver reveals the     addresses of kernel functions and global variables     using printk calls within the function show_floppy in     drivers/block/floppy.c. An attacker can read this     information from dmesg and use the addresses to find     the locations of kernel code and data and bypass kernel     security protections such as KASLR.(CVE-2018-7273)A     flaw in 'arch/arm64/kernel/sys.c' in the Linux kernel     allows local users to bypass the 'strict page     permissions' protection mechanism and modify the     system-call table and, consequently, gain privileges by     leveraging write access.(CVE-2015-8967)The Linux kernel     before 3.11 on ARM platforms, as used in Android before     2016-08-05 on Nexus 5 and 7 (2013) devices, does not     properly consider user-space access to the TPIDRURW     register, which allows local users to gain privileges     via a crafted application, aka Android internal bug     28749743 and Qualcomm internal bug     CR561044.(CVE-2014-9870)A NULL pointer dereference     security flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the     vcpu_scan_ioapic() function in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c. This     allows local users with certain privileges to cause a     denial of service via a crafted system call to the KVM     subsystem.(CVE-2018-19407)It was found that current     implementation of kl5kusb105 driver failed to detect     short transfers when attempting to read the line state     and logged the content of the uninitialized heap     transfer buffer.(CVE-2017-5549)

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

  - The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz),     the core of any Linux operating system. The kernel     handles the basic functions of the operating system:
    memory allocation, process allocation, device input and     output, etc.Security Fix(es):** DISPUTED ** In     kernel/compat.c in the Linux kernel before 3.17, as     used in Google Chrome OS and other products, there is a     possible out-of-bounds read. restart_syscall uses     uninitialized data when restarting     compat_sys_nanosleep. NOTE: this is disputed because     the code path is unreachable.(CVE-2014-3180)A heap     overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel, all     versions 3.x.x and 4.x.x before 4.18.0, in Marvell WiFi     chip driver. The vulnerability allows a remote attacker     to cause a system crash, resulting in a denial of     service, or execute arbitrary code. The highest threat     with this vulnerability is with the availability of the     system. If code execution occurs, the code will run     with the permissions of root. This will affect both     confidentiality and integrity of files on the     system.(CVE-2019-14901)A heap-based buffer overflow     vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel, version     kernel-2.6.32, in Marvell WiFi chip driver. A remote     attacker could cause a denial of service (system crash)     or, possibly execute arbitrary code, when the     lbs_ibss_join_existing function is called after a STA     connects to an AP.(CVE-2019-14896)A memory leak in the     ath10k_usb_hif_tx_sg() function in drivers/     net/wireless/ath/ath10k/usb.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of     service (memory consumption) by triggering     usb_submit_urb() failures, aka     CID-b8d17e7d93d2.(CVE-2019-19078)A memory leak in the     mlx5_fpga_conn_create_cq() function in drivers/     net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/fpga/conn.c in the     Linux kernel before 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a     denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering     mlx5_vector2eqn() failures, aka     CID-c8c2a057fdc7.(CVE-2019-19045)A stack-based buffer     overflow was found in the Linux kernel, version     kernel-2.6.32, in Marvell WiFi chip driver. An attacker     is able to cause a denial of service (system crash) or,     possibly execute arbitrary code, when a STA works in     IBSS mode (allows connecting stations together without     the use of an AP) and connects to another     STA.(CVE-2019-14897)An out-of-bounds memory write issue     was found in the Linux Kernel, version 3.13 through     5.4, in the way the Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor     handled the 'KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID' ioctl(2) request     to get CPUID features emulated by the KVM hypervisor. A     user or process able to access the '/dev/kvm' device     could use this flaw to crash the system, resulting in a     denial of service.(CVE-2019-19332)Improper invalidation     for page table updates by a virtual guest operating     system for multiple Intel(R) Processors may allow an     authenticated user to potentially enable denial of     service of the host system via local     access.(CVE-2018-12207)In the Android kernel in the     video driver there is a use after free due to a race     condition. This could lead to local escalation of     privilege with no additional execution privileges     needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation.(CVE-2019-9458)In the AppleTalk subsystem     in the Linux kernel before 5.1, there is a potential     NULL pointer dereference because register_snap_client     may return NULL. This will lead to denial of service in     net/appletalk/aarp.c and net/appletalk/ddp.c, as     demonstrated by unregister_snap_client, aka     CID-9804501fa122.(CVE-2019-19227)In the Linux kernel     5.0.21, mounting a crafted btrfs filesystem image,     performing some operations, and then making a syncfs     system call can lead to a use-after-free in
    __mutex_lock in kernel/locking/mutex.c. This is related     to mutex_can_spin_on_owner in kernel/locking/mutex.c,
    __btrfs_qgroup_free_meta in fs/btrfs/qgroup.c, and     btrfs_insert_delayed_items in     fs/btrfs/delayed-inode.c.(CVE-2019-19813)In the Linux     kernel 5.4.0-rc2, there is a use-after-free (read) in     the __blk_add_trace function in kernel/trace/blktrace.c     (which is used to fill out a blk_io_trace structure and     place it in a per-cpu sub-buffer).(CVE-2019-19768)In     the Linux kernel before 5.0.6, there is a NULL pointer     dereference in drop_sysctl_table() in     fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c, related to put_links, aka     CID-23da9588037e.(CVE-2019-20054)In the Linux kernel     before 5.2.9, there is an info-leak bug that can be     caused by a malicious USB device in the drivers/     net/can/usb/peak_usb/pcan_usb_pro.c driver, aka     CID-ead16e53c2f0.(CVE-2019-19536)In the Linux kernel     before 5.3.11, there is an info-leak bug that can be     caused by a malicious USB device in the drivers/     net/can/usb/peak_usb/pcan_usb_core.c driver, aka     CID-f7a1337f0d29.(CVE-2019-19534)In the Linux kernel     before 5.3.6, there is a use-after-free bug that can be     caused by a malicious USB device in the drivers/     net/ieee802154/atusb.c driver, aka     CID-7fd25e6fc035.(CVE-2019-19525)Insufficient access     control in a subsystem for Intel (R) processor graphics     in 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th Generation Intel(R) Core(TM)     Processor Families Intel(R) Pentium(R) Processor J, N,     Silver and Gold Series Intel(R) Celeron(R) Processor J,     N, G3900 and G4900 Series Intel(R) Atom(R) Processor A     and E3900 Series Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor E3-1500 v5     and v6, E-2100 and E-2200 Processor Families Intel(R)     Graphics Driver for Windows before 26.20.100.6813 (DCH)     or 26.20.100.6812 and before 21.20.x.5077     (aka15.45.5077), i915 Linux Driver for Intel(R)     Processor Graphics before versions 5.4-rc7, 5.3.11,     4.19.84, 4.14.154, 4.9.201, 4.4.201 may allow an     authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of     privilege via local access.(CVE-2019-0155)Insufficient     input validation in Kernel Mode Driver in Intel(R) i915     Graphics for Linux before version 5.0 may allow an     authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of     privilege via local     access.(CVE-2019-11085)kernel/sched/fair.c in the Linux     kernel before 5.3.9, when cpu.cfs_quota_us is used     (e.g., with Kubernetes), allows attackers to cause a     denial of service against non-cpu-bound applications by     generating a workload that triggers unwanted slice     expiration, aka CID-de53fd7aedb1. (In other words,     although this slice expiration would typically be seen     with benign workloads, it is possible that an attacker     could calculate how many stray requests are required to     force an entire Kubernetes cluster into a     low-performance state caused by slice expiration, and     ensure that a DDoS attack sent that number of stray     requests. An attack does not affect the stability of     the kernel it only causes mismanagement of application     execution.)(CVE-2019-19922)The evm_verify_hmac function     in security/integrity/evm/evm_main.c in the Linux     kernel before 4.5 does not properly copy data, which     makes it easier for local users to forge MAC values via     a timing side-channel attack.(CVE-2016-2085)The     pcpu_embed_first_chunk function in mm/percpu.c in the     Linux kernel through 4.14.14 allows local users to     obtain sensitive address information by reading dmesg     data from a 'pages/cpu' printk call.(CVE-2018-5995)TSX     Asynchronous Abort condition on some CPUs utilizing     speculative execution may allow an authenticated user     to potentially enable information disclosure via a side     channel with local access.(CVE-2019-11135)An issue was     discovered in drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c in the     Linux kernel before 4.13. There is potential exposure     of kernel stack memory because aac_send_raw_srb does     not initialize the reply structure.(CVE-2017-18549)An     issue was discovered in drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c     in the Linux kernel before 4.13. There is potential     exposure of kernel stack memory because     aac_get_hba_info does not initialize the hbainfo     structure.(CVE-2017-18550)In the Linux kernel through     4.15.4, the floppy driver reveals the addresses of     kernel functions and global variables using printk     calls within the function show_floppy in     drivers/block/floppy.c. An attacker can read this     information from dmesg and use the addresses to find     the locations of kernel code and data and bypass kernel     security protections such as KASLR.(CVE-2018-7273)A     heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in the Linux     kernel, all versions 3.x.x and 4.x.x before 4.18.0, in     Marvell WiFi chip driver. The flaw could occur when the     station attempts a connection negotiation during the     handling of the remote devices country settings. This     could allow the remote device to cause a denial of     service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary     code.(CVE-2019-14895)The Linux kernel before 5.4.1 on     powerpc allows Information Exposure because the     Spectre-RSB mitigation is not in place for all     applicable CPUs, aka CID-39e72bf96f58. This is related     to arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.S and     arch/powerpc/kernel/security.c.(CVE-2019-18660)In the     Linux kernel 5.0.21, mounting a crafted ext4 filesystem     image, performing some operations, and unmounting can     lead to a use-after-free in ext4_put_super in     fs/ext4/super.c, related to dump_orphan_list in     fs/ext4/super.c.(CVE-2019-19447)In the Linux kernel     through 5.4.6, there is a NULL pointer dereference in     drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_discover.c because of     mishandling of port disconnection during discovery,     related to a PHY down race condition, aka     CID-f70267f379b5.(CVE-2019-19965)In the Linux kernel     before 5.1.6, there is a use-after-free in cpia2_exit()     in drivers/media/usb/cpia2/cpia2_v4l.c that will cause     denial of service, aka     CID-dea37a972655.(CVE-2019-19966)An exploitable     denial-of-service vulnerability exists in the Linux     kernel prior to mainline 5.3. An attacker could exploit     this vulnerability by triggering AP to send IAPP     location updates for stations before the required     authentication process has completed. This could lead     to different denial-of-service scenarios, either by     causing CAM table attacks, or by leading to traffic     flapping if faking already existing clients in other     nearby APs of the same wireless infrastructure. An     attacker can forge Authentication and Association     Request packets to trigger this     vulnerability.(CVE-2019-5108)mwifiex_tm_cmd in drivers/     net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/cfg80211.c in the Linux     kernel before 5.1.6 has some error-handling cases that     did not free allocated hostcmd memory, aka     CID-003b686ace82. This will cause a memory leak and     denial of service.(CVE-2019-20095)
