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

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

  - 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 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)

  - A flaw possibility of race condition and incorrect initialization of the process id was found in the Linux     kernel child/parent process identification handling while filtering signal handlers. A local attacker is     able to abuse this flaw to bypass checks to send any signal to a privileged process. (CVE-2020-35508)

  - A denial of service vulnerability was found in n_tty_receive_char_special in drivers/tty/n_tty.c of the     Linux kernel. In this flaw a local attacker with a normal user privilege could delay the loop (due to a     changing ldata->read_head, and a missing sanity check) and cause a threat to the system availability.
    (CVE-2021-20219)

  - A race condition was found in the Linux kernels implementation of the floppy disk drive controller driver     software. The impact of this issue is lessened by the fact that the default permissions on the floppy     device (/dev/fd0) are restricted to root. If the permissions on the device have changed the impact changes     greatly. In the default configuration root (or equivalent) permissions are required to attack this flaw.
    (CVE-2021-20261)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3, as used with Xen PV. A certain part of the     netback driver lacks necessary treatment of errors such as failed memory allocations (as a result of     changes to the handling of grant mapping errors). A host OS denial of service may occur during misbehavior     of a networking frontend driver. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2021-26931.
    (CVE-2021-28038)

  - The fix for XSA-365 includes initialization of pointers such that subsequent cleanup code wouldn't use     uninitialized or stale values. This initialization went too far and may under certain conditions also     overwrite pointers which are in need of cleaning up. The lack of cleanup would result in leaking     persistent grants. The leak in turn would prevent fully cleaning up after a respective guest has died,     leaving around zombie domains. All Linux versions having the fix for XSA-365 applied are vulnerable.
    XSA-365 was classified to affect versions back to at least 3.11. (CVE-2021-28688)

  - A race condition was discovered in get_old_root in fs/btrfs/ctree.c in the Linux kernel through 5.11.8. It     allows attackers to cause a denial of service (BUG) because of a lack of locking on an extent buffer     before a cloning operation, aka CID-dbcc7d57bffc. (CVE-2021-28964)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.11. The netfilter subsystem allows attackers to     cause a denial of service (panic) because net/netfilter/x_tables.c and include/linux/netfilter/x_tables.h     lack a full memory barrier upon the assignment of a new table value, aka CID-175e476b8cdf.

  - Improper input validation in some Intel(R) Graphics Drivers for Windows* before version 26.20.100.7212 and     before Linux kernel version 5.5 may allow a privileged user to potentially enable a denial of service via     local access. (CVE-2020-12363)

  - Null pointer reference in some Intel(R) Graphics Drivers for Windows* before version 26.20.100.7212 and     before version Linux kernel version 5.5 may allow a privileged user to potentially enable a denial of     service via local access. (CVE-2020-12364)

  - usb_sg_cancel in drivers/usb/core/message.c in the Linux kernel before 5.6.8 has a use-after-free because     a transfer occurs without a reference, aka CID-056ad39ee925. (CVE-2020-12464)

  - A memory out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the Linux kernel before 5.9-rc2 with the ext3/ext4 file     system, in the way it accesses a directory with broken indexing. This flaw allows a local user to crash     the system if the directory exists. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
    (CVE-2020-14314)

  - A flaw null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel cgroupv2 subsystem in versions before 5.7.10 was found     in the way when reboot the system. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their     privileges on the system. (CVE-2020-14356)

  - 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 before 5.7.8, fs/nfsd/vfs.c (in the NFS server) can set incorrect permissions on new     filesystem objects when the filesystem lacks ACL support, aka CID-22cf8419f131. This occurs because the     current umask is not considered. (CVE-2020-24394)

  - A TOCTOU mismatch in the NFS client code in the Linux kernel before 5.8.3 could be used by local attackers     to corrupt memory or possibly have unspecified other impact because a size check is in fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c     instead of fs/nfs/nfs4xdr.c, aka CID-b4487b935452. (CVE-2020-25212)

  - 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 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's 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 use after free in the Linux kernel infiniband hfi1 driver in versions prior to 5.10-rc6 was found in the     way user calls Ioctl after open dev file and fork. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system.
    (CVE-2020-27835)

  - 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 flaw possibility of race condition and incorrect initialization of the process id was found in the Linux     kernel child/parent process identification handling while filtering signal handlers. A local attacker is     able to abuse this flaw to bypass checks to send any signal to a privileged process. (CVE-2020-35508)

  - An issue was discovered in the FUSE filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel before 5.10.6, aka     CID-5d069dbe8aaf. fuse_do_getattr() calls make_bad_inode() in inappropriate situations, causing a system     crash. NOTE: the original fix for this vulnerability was incomplete, and its incompleteness is tracked as     CVE-2021-28950. (CVE-2020-36322)

  - In tun_get_user of tun.c, there is possible memory corruption due to a use after free. This could lead to     local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges required. User interaction is not required     for exploitation. Product: Android; Versions: Android kernel; Android ID: A-146554327. (CVE-2021-0342)

  - In pfkey_dump of af_key.c, there is a possible out-of-bounds read due to a missing bounds check. This     could lead to local information disclosure in the kernel with System execution privileges needed. User     interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID: A-110373476     (CVE-2021-0605)
