An update of the linux package has been released.

The remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address security updates:

  - Linux Linux kernel version at least v4.8 onwards, probably well before contains a Insufficient input     validation vulnerability in bnx2x network card driver that can result in DoS: Network card firmware     assertion takes card off-line. This attack appear to be exploitable via An attacker on a must pass a very     large, specially crafted packet to the bnx2x card. This can be done from an untrusted guest VM..
    (CVE-2018-1000026)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth implementation of UART, all versions kernel 3.x.x before     4.18.0 and kernel 5.x.x. An attacker with local access and write permissions to the Bluetooth hardware     could use this flaw to issue a specially crafted ioctl function call and cause the system to crash.
    (CVE-2019-10207)

  - 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)

  - A flaw double-free memory corruption in the Linux kernel HCI device initialization subsystem was found in     the way user attach malicious HCI TTY Bluetooth device. A local user could use this flaw to crash the     system. This flaw affects all the Linux kernel versions starting from 3.13. (CVE-2021-3564)

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

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks.

CVE-2019-19318, CVE-2019-19813, CVE-2019-19816

'Team bobfuzzer' reported bugs in Btrfs that could lead to a use-after-free or heap buffer overflow, and could be triggered by crafted filesystem images. A user permitted to mount and access arbitrary filesystems could use these to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-27815

A flaw was reported in the JFS filesystem code allowing a local attacker with the ability to set extended attributes to cause a denial of service.

CVE-2020-27825

Adam 'pi3' Zabrocki reported a use-after-free flaw in the ftrace ring buffer resizing logic due to a race condition, which could result in denial of service or information leak.

CVE-2020-28374

David Disseldorp discovered that the LIO SCSI target implementation performed insufficient checking in certain XCOPY requests. An attacker with access to a LUN and knowledge of Unit Serial Number assignments can take advantage of this flaw to read and write to any LIO backstore, regardless of the SCSI transport settings.

CVE-2020-29568 (XSA-349)

Michael Kurth and Pawel Wieczorkiewicz reported that frontends can trigger OOM in backends by updating a watched path.

CVE-2020-29569 (XSA-350)

Olivier Benjamin and Pawel Wieczorkiewicz reported a use-after-free flaw which can be triggered by a block frontend in Linux blkback. A misbehaving guest can trigger a dom0 crash by continuously connecting / disconnecting a block frontend.

CVE-2020-29660

CVE-2020-29661

Jann Horn reported a locking issue in the tty subsystem which can result in a use-after-free. A local attacker can take advantage of this flaw for memory corruption or privilege escalation.

CVE-2020-36158

A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the mwifiex WiFi driver which could result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code via a long SSID value.

CVE-2021-3178

&#x5434;&#x5F02; reported an information leak in the NFSv3 server.
When only a subdirectory of a filesystem volume is exported, an NFS client listing the exported directory would obtain a file handle to the parent directory, allowing it to access files that were not meant to be exported.

Even after this update, it is still possible for NFSv3 clients to guess valid file handles and access files outside an exported subdirectory, unless the 'subtree_check' export option is enabled. It is recommended that you do not use that option but only export whole filesystem volumes.

CVE-2021-3347

It was discovered that PI futexes have a kernel stack use-after-free during fault handling. An unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the kernel (resulting in denial of service) or for privilege escalation.

CVE-2021-26930 (XSA-365)

Olivier Benjamin, Norbert Manthey, Martin Mazein, and Jan H.
Sch&ouml;nherr discovered that the Xen block backend driver (xen-blkback) did not handle grant mapping errors correctly. A malicious guest could exploit this bug to cause a denial of service (crash), or possibly an information leak or privilege escalation, within the domain running the backend, which is typically dom0.

CVE-2021-26931 (XSA-362), CVE-2021-26932 (XSA-361), CVE-2021-28038 (XSA-367)

Jan Beulich discovered that the Xen support code and various Xen backend drivers did not handle grant mapping errors correctly. A malicious guest could exploit these bugs to cause a denial of service (crash) within the domain running the backend, which is typically dom0.

CVE-2021-27363

Adam Nichols reported that the iSCSI initiator subsystem did not properly restrict access to transport handle attributes in sysfs. On a system acting as an iSCSI initiator, this is an information leak to local users and makes it easier to exploit CVE-2021-27364.

CVE-2021-27364

Adam Nichols reported that the iSCSI initiator subsystem did not properly restrict access to its netlink management interface. On a system acting as an iSCSI initiator, a local user could use these to cause a denial of service (disconnection of storage) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2021-27365

Adam Nichols reported that the iSCSI initiator subsystem did not correctly limit the lengths of parameters or 'passthrough PDUs' sent through its netlink management interface. On a system acting as an iSCSI initiator, a local user could use these to leak the contents of kernel memory, to cause a denial of service (kernel memory corruption or crash), and probably for privilege escalation.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 4.9.258-1.

  - 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)

  - An out-of-bounds memory write flaw was found in how the     Linux kernel's Voice Over IP H.323 connection tracking     functionality handled connections on ipv6 port 1720.
    This flaw allows an unauthenticated remote user to     crash the system, causing a denial of service. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality, integrity, as well as system     availability.(CVE-2020-14305)

  - Improper input validation in BlueZ may allow an     unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation     of privilege via adjacent access.(CVE-2020-12351)

  - In the Linux kernel 4.14 longterm through 4.14.165 and     4.19 longterm through 4.19.96 (and 5.x before 5.2),     there is a use-after-free (write) in the     i915_ppgtt_close function in     drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_gtt.c, aka     CID-7dc40713618c. This is related to     i915_gem_context_destroy_ioctl in     drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_context.c.(CVE-2020-7053)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - An issue was discovered in romfs_dev_read in     fs/romfs/storage.c in the Linux kernel before 5.8.4.
    Uninitialized memory leaks to userspace, aka     CID-bcf85fcedfdd.(CVE-2020-29371)

  - An issue was discovered in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk in     mm/slub.c in the Linux kernel before 5.5.11. The     slowpath lacks the required TID increment, aka     CID-fd4d9c7d0c71.(CVE-2020-29370)

  - There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux     kernel through 5.5.2 in the n_tty_receive_buf_common     function in drivers/tty/n_tty.c.(CVE-2020-8648)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - gss_mech_free in net/sunrpc/auth_gss/gss_mech_switch.c     in the rpcsec_gss_krb5 implementation in the Linux     kernel through 5.6.10 lacks certain domain_release     calls, leading to a memory leak.(CVE-2020-12656)

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

  - A flaw memory leak in the Linux kernel performance     monitoring subsystem was found in the way if using     PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_FILTER. A local user could use this     flaw to starve the resources causing denial of     service.(CVE-2020-25704)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel before 5.8-rc6 in     the ZRAM kernel module, where a user with a local     account and the ability to read the     /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add file can create ZRAM     device nodes in the /dev/ directory. This read     allocates kernel memory and is not accounted for a user     that triggers the creation of that ZRAM device. With     this vulnerability, continually reading the device may     consume a large amount of system memory and cause the     Out-of-Memory (OOM) killer to activate and terminate     random userspace processes, possibly making the system     inoperable.(CVE-2020-10781)

  - go7007_snd_init in     drivers/media/usb/go7007/snd-go7007.c in the Linux     kernel before 5.6 does not call snd_card_free for a     failure path, which causes a memory leak, aka     CID-9453264ef586.(CVE-2019-20810)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     5.11.3. Certain iSCSI data structures do not have     appropriate length constraints or checks, and can     exceed the PAGE_SIZE value. An unprivileged user can     send a Netlink message that is associated with iSCSI,     and has a length up to the maximum length of a Netlink     message.(CVE-2021-27365)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     5.11.3. drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c is     adversely affected by the ability of an unprivileged     user to craft Netlink messages.(CVE-2021-27364)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     5.11.3. A kernel pointer leak can be used to determine     the address of the iscsi_transport structure. When an     iSCSI transport is registered with the iSCSI subsystem,     the transport's handle is available to unprivileged     users via the sysfs file system, at     /sys/class/iscsi_transport/$TRANSPORT_NAME/handle. When     read, the show_transport_handle function (in     drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c) is called, which     leaks the handle. This handle is actually the pointer     to an iscsi_transport struct in the kernel module's     global variables.(CVE-2021-27363)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - An issue was discovered in slc_bump in     drivers/net/can/slcan.c in the Linux kernel through     5.6.2. It allows attackers to read uninitialized     can_frame data, potentially containing sensitive     information from kernel stack memory, if the     configuration lacks CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL, aka     CID-b9258a2cece4.(CVE-2020-11494)

  - A stack information leak flaw was found in s390/s390x     in the Linux kernel's memory manager functionality,     where it incorrectly writes to the     /proc/sys/vm/cmm_timeout file. This flaw allows a local     user to see the kernel data.(CVE-2020-10773)

  - ** DISPUTED ** drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_display.c     in the Linux kernel 5.2.14 does not check the     alloc_workqueue return value, leading to a NULL pointer     dereference. NOTE: A third-party software maintainer     states that the work queue allocation is happening     during device initialization, which for a graphics card     occurs during boot. It is not attacker controllable and     OOM at that time is highly unlikely.(CVE-2019-16230)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel in versions after     4.5-rc1 in the way mremap handled DAX Huge Pages. This     flaw allows a local attacker with access to a DAX     enabled storage to escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2020-10757)

  - A pivot_root race condition in fs/namespace.c in the     Linux kernel 4.4.x before 4.4.221, 4.9.x before     4.9.221, 4.14.x before 4.14.178, 4.19.x before     4.19.119, and 5.x before 5.3 allows local users to     cause a denial of service (panic) by corrupting a     mountpoint reference counter.(CVE-2020-12114)

  - 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)

  - Insufficient control flow in certain data structures     for some Intel(R) Processors with Intel(R) Processor     Graphics may allow an unauthenticated user to     potentially enable information disclosure via local     access.(CVE-2019-14615)

  - In the Linux kernel 5.0.21, mounting a crafted btrfs     filesystem image, performing some operations, and     unmounting can lead to a use-after-free in     btrfs_queue_work in     fs/btrfs/async-thread.c.(CVE-2019-19377)

  - In do_epoll_ctl and ep_loop_check_proc of eventpoll.c,     there is a possible use after free due to a logic     error. 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-147802478References: Upstream kernel(CVE-2020-0466)

  - ** DISPUTED ** fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.10.8, when there is an NFS export of a     subdirectory of a filesystem, allows remote attackers     to traverse to other parts of the filesystem via     READDIRPLUS. NOTE: some parties argue that such a     subdirectory export is not intended to prevent this     attack see also the exports(5) no_subtree_check default     behavior.(CVE-2021-3178)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernels eBPF     implementation. By default, accessing the eBPF verifier     is only accessible to privileged users with     CAP_SYS_ADMIN. A local user with the ability to insert     eBPF instructions can abuse a flaw in eBPF to corrupt     memory. The highest threat from this vulnerability is     to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system     availability.(CVE-2021-29154)

  - A flaw memory leak in the Linux kernel webcam device     functionality was found in the way user calls ioctl     that triggers video_usercopy function. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is to system     availability.(CVE-2021-30002)

  - A flaw was found in the Nosy driver in the Linux     kernel. This issue allows a device to be inserted twice     into a doubly-linked list, leading to a use-after-free     when one of these devices is removed. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality,     integrity, as well as system     availability.(CVE-2021-3483)

  - A flaw in the Linux kernels implementation of the RPA     PCI Hotplug driver for power-pc. A user with     permissions to write to the sysfs settings for this     driver can trigger a buffer overflow when writing a new     device name to the driver from userspace, overwriting     data in the kernel's stack.(CVE-2021-28972)

  - A race condition flaw was found in get_old_root in     fs/btrfs/ctree.c in the Linux kernel in btrfs     file-system. This flaw allows a local attacker with a     special user privilege to cause a denial of service due     to not locking an extent buffer before a cloning     operation. The highest threat from this vulnerability     is to system availability.(CVE-2021-28964)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The usbip driver     allows attackers to cause a denial of service (GPF)     because the stub-up sequence has race conditions during     an update of the local and shared status. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is to system     availability.(CVE-2021-29265)

  - An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in     x25_bind in net/x25/af_x25.c in the Linux kernel. A     bounds check failure allows a local attacker with a     user account on the system to gain access to     out-of-bounds memory, leading to a system crash or a     leak of internal kernel information. The highest threat     from this vulnerability is to confidentiality,     integrity, as well as system     availability.(CVE-2020-35519)

  - There is a flaw reported in     drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_sgdma.c in     nouveau_sgdma_create_ttm in Nouveau DRM subsystem. The     issue results from the lack of validating the existence     of an object prior to performing operations on the     object. An attacker with a local account with a root     privilege, can leverage this vulnerability to escalate     privileges and execute code in the context of the     kernel.(CVE-2021-20292)

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

(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)

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.214-118.339. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2021-1477 advisory.

  - 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 5.0.21, mounting a crafted btrfs filesystem image and performing some operations can     cause slab-out-of-bounds write access in __btrfs_map_block in fs/btrfs/volumes.c, because a value of 1 for     the number of data stripes is mishandled. (CVE-2019-19816)

  - An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.14.x. Some OSes (such as Linux, FreeBSD, and NetBSD) are     processing watch events using a single thread. If the events are received faster than the thread is able     to handle, they will get queued. As the queue is unbounded, a guest may be able to trigger an OOM in the     backend. All systems with a FreeBSD, Linux, or NetBSD (any version) dom0 are vulnerable. (CVE-2020-29568)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.10.1, as used with Xen through 4.14.x. The Linux     kernel PV block backend expects the kernel thread handler to reset ring->xenblkd to NULL when stopped.
    However, the handler may not have time to run if the frontend quickly toggles between the states connect     and disconnect. As a consequence, the block backend may re-use a pointer after it was freed. A misbehaving     guest can trigger a dom0 crash by continuously connecting / disconnecting a block frontend. Privilege     escalation and information leaks cannot be ruled out. This only affects systems with a Linux blkback.
