The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Integer overflow in the aio_setup_single_vector function     in fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel 4.0 allows local users     to cause a denial of service or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a large AIO iovec. NOTE:
    this vulnerability exists because of a CVE-2012-6701     regression. (CVE-2015-8830)

  - A weakness was found in the Linux ASLR implementation.
    Any user able to running 32-bit applications in a x86     machine can disable ASLR by setting the RLIMIT_STACK     resource to unlimited. (CVE-2016-3672)

  - The xc2028_set_config function in     drivers/media/tuners/tuner-xc2028.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.6 allows local users to gain privileges or     cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via vectors     involving omission of the firmware name from a certain     data structure. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege     escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we     believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2016-7913)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in the snd_pcm_info()     function in the ALSA subsystem in the Linux kernel     allows attackers to induce a kernel memory corruption     and possibly crash or lock up a system. Due to the     nature of the flaw, a privilege escalation cannot be     fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely.
    (CVE-2017-0861)

  - A reachable assertion failure flaw was found in the     Linux kernel built with KVM virtualisation(CONFIG_KVM)     support with Virtual Function I/O feature (CONFIG_VFIO)     enabled. This failure could occur if a malicious guest     device sent a virtual interrupt (guest IRQ) with a     larger (>1024) index value. (CVE-2017-1000252)

  - Linux kernel Virtualization Module (CONFIG_KVM) for the     Intel processor family (CONFIG_KVM_INTEL) is vulnerable     to a DoS issue. It could occur if a guest was to flood     the I/O port 0x80 with write requests. A guest user     could use this flaw to crash the host kernel resulting     in DoS. (CVE-2017-1000407)

  - A flaw was found in the processing of incoming L2CAP     bluetooth commands. Uninitialized stack variables can be     sent to an attacker leaking data in kernel address     space. (CVE-2017-1000410)

  - A race condition was found in the Linux kernel before     version 4.11-rc1 in 'fs/timerfd.c' file which allows a     local user to cause a kernel list corruption or use-     after-free via simultaneous operations with a file     descriptor which leverage improper 'might_cancel'     queuing. An unprivileged local user could use this flaw     to cause a denial of service of the system. Due to the     nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully     ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely.
    (CVE-2017-10661)

  - Linux kernel built with the KVM visualization support     (CONFIG_KVM), with nested visualization (nVMX) feature     enabled (nested=1), is vulnerable to a crash due to     disabled external interrupts. As L2 guest could access     (r/w) hardware CR8 register of the host(L0). In a nested     visualization setup, L2 guest user could use this flaw     to potentially crash the host(L0) resulting in DoS.
    (CVE-2017-12154)

  - It was found that in the Linux kernel through v4.14-rc5,     bio_map_user_iov() and bio_unmap_user() in 'block/bio.c'     do unbalanced pages refcounting if IO vector has small     consecutive buffers belonging to the same page.
    bio_add_pc_page() merges them into one, but the page     reference is never dropped, causing a memory leak and     possible system lockup due to out-of-memory condition.
    (CVE-2017-12190)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of     valid_master_desc() in which a memory buffer would be     compared to a userspace value with an incorrect size of     comparison. By bruteforcing the comparison, an attacker     could determine what was in memory after the description     and possibly obtain sensitive information from kernel     memory. (CVE-2017-13305)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in a network     namespaces code affecting the Linux kernel since     v4.0-rc1 through v4.15-rc5. The function     get_net_ns_by_id() does not check for the net::count     value after it has found a peer network in netns_ids idr     which could lead to double free and memory corruption.
    This vulnerability could allow an unprivileged local     user to induce kernel memory corruption on the system,     leading to a crash. Due to the nature of the flaw,     privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although     it is thought to be unlikely. (CVE-2017-15129)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found when issuing an     ioctl to a sound device. This could allow a user to     exploit a race condition and create memory corruption or     possibly privilege escalation. (CVE-2017-15265)

  - A flaw was found in the implementation of associative     arrays where the add_key systemcall and KEYCTL_UPDATE     operations allowed for a NULL payload with a nonzero     length. When accessing the payload within this length     parameters value, an unprivileged user could trivially     cause a NULL pointer dereference (kernel oops).
    (CVE-2017-15274)

  - The net/netfilter/nfnetlink_cthelper.c function in the     Linux kernel through 4.14.4 does not require the     CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for new, get, and del     operations. This allows local users to bypass intended     access restrictions because the nfnl_cthelper_list data     structure is shared across all net namespaces.
    (CVE-2017-17448)

  - The __netlink_deliver_tap_skb function in     net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel, through     4.14.4, does not restrict observations of Netlink     messages to a single net namespace, when CONFIG_NLMON is     enabled. This allows local users to obtain sensitive     information by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     to sniff an nlmon interface for all Netlink activity on     the system. (CVE-2017-17449)

  - The usb_destroy_configuration() function, in     'drivers/usb/core/config.c' in the USB core subsystem,     in the Linux kernel through 4.14.5 does not consider the     maximum number of configurations and interfaces before     attempting to release resources. This allows local users     to cause a denial of service, due to out-of-bounds write     access, or possibly have unspecified other impact via a     crafted USB device. Due to the nature of the flaw,     privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although     we believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2017-17558)

  - The Salsa20 encryption algorithm in the Linux kernel,     before 4.14.8, does not correctly handle zero-length     inputs. This allows a local attacker the ability to use     the AF_ALG-based skcipher interface to cause a denial of     service (uninitialized-memory free and kernel crash) or     have an unspecified other impact by executing a crafted     sequence of system calls that use the blkcipher_walk     API. Both the generic implementation     (crypto/salsa20_generic.c) and x86 implementation     (arch/x86/crypto/salsa20_glue.c) of Salsa20 are     vulnerable. (CVE-2017-17805)

  - The tcpmss_mangle_packet function in     net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c in the Linux kernel before     4.11, and 4.9.x before 4.9.36, allows remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and memory     corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by     leveraging the presence of xt_TCPMSS in an iptables     action. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege     escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we     believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2017-18017)

  - The Linux kernel, before version 4.14.3, is vulnerable     to a denial of service in     drivers/md/dm.c:dm_get_from_kobject() which can be     caused by local users leveraging a race condition with
    __dm_destroy() during creation and removal of DM     devices. Only privileged local users (with CAP_SYS_ADMIN     capability) can directly perform the ioctl operations     for dm device creation and removal and this would     typically be outside the direct control of the     unprivileged attacker. (CVE-2017-18203)

  - The madvise_willneed function in the Linux kernel allows     local users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop)     by triggering use of MADVISE_WILLNEED for a DAX mapping.
    (CVE-2017-18208)

  - A flaw was found where the kernel truncated the value     used to indicate the size of a buffer which it would     later become zero using an untruncated value. This can     corrupt memory outside of the original allocation.
    (CVE-2017-9725)

  - In the Linux kernel versions 4.12, 3.10, 2.6, and     possibly earlier, a race condition vulnerability exists     in the sound system allowing for a potential deadlock     and memory corruption due to use-after-free condition     and thus denial of service. Due to the nature of the     flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out,     although we believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2018-1000004)

  - Improper validation in the bnx2x network card driver of     the Linux kernel version 4.15 can allow for denial of     service (DoS) attacks via a packet with a gso_size     larger than ~9700 bytes. Untrusted guest VMs can exploit     this vulnerability in the host machine, causing a crash     in the network card. (CVE-2018-1000026)

  - By mmap()ing a FUSE-backed file onto a process's memory     containing command line arguments (or environment     strings), an attacker can cause utilities from psutils     or procps (such as ps, w) or any other program which     makes a read() call to the /proc//cmdline (or     /proc//environ) files to block indefinitely (denial     of service) or for some controlled time (as a     synchronization primitive for other attacks).
    (CVE-2018-1120)

  - A null pointer dereference in dccp_write_xmit() function     in net/dccp/output.c in the Linux kernel allows a local     user to cause a denial of service by a number of certain     crafted system calls. (CVE-2018-1130)

  - An issue was discovered in the proc_pid_stack function     in fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel. An attacker with     a local account can trick the stack unwinder code to     leak stack contents to userspace. The fix allows only     root to inspect the kernel stack of an arbitrary task.
    (CVE-2018-17972)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel with files on tmpfs     and hugetlbfs. An attacker is able to bypass file     permissions on filesystems mounted with tmpfs/hugetlbs     to modify a file and possibly disrupt normal system     behavior. At this time there is an understanding there     is no crash or privilege escalation but the impact of     modifications on these filesystems of files in     production systems may have adverse affects.
    (CVE-2018-18397)

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.17, a local attacker able     to set attributes on an xfs filesystem could make this     filesystem non-operational until the next mount by     triggering an unchecked error condition during an xfs     attribute change, because xfs_attr_shortform_addname in     fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr.c mishandles ATTR_REPLACE     operations with conversion of an attr from short to long     form. (CVE-2018-18690)

  - Modern operating systems implement virtualization of     physical memory to efficiently use available system     resources and provide inter-domain protection through     access control and isolation. The L1TF issue was found     in the way the x86 microprocessor designs have     implemented speculative execution of instructions (a     commonly used performance optimization) in combination     with handling of page-faults caused by terminated     virtual to physical address resolving process. As a     result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to     read privileged memory of the kernel or other processes     and/or cross guest/host boundaries to read host memory     by conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks.
    (CVE-2018-3646)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handling of     loopback devices. An attacker, who has permissions to     setup loopback disks, may create a denial of service or     other unspecified actions. (CVE-2018-5344)

  - The acpi_smbus_hc_add function in drivers/acpi/sbshc.c     in the Linux kernel, through 4.14.15, allows local users     to obtain sensitive address information by reading dmesg     data from an SBS HC printk call. (CVE-2018-5750)

  - An error in the _sctp_make_chunk() function     (net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c) when handling SCTP, packet     length can be exploited by a malicious local user to     cause a kernel crash and a DoS. (CVE-2018-5803)

  - In the function wmi_set_ie() in the Linux kernel the     length validation code does not handle unsigned integer     overflow properly. As a result, a large value of the     ie_len argument can cause a buffer overflow and thus a     memory corruption leading to a system crash or other or     unspecified impact. Due to the nature of the flaw,     privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although     we believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2018-5848)

  - ALSA sequencer core initializes the event pool on demand     by invoking snd_seq_pool_init() when the first write     happens and the pool is empty. A user can reset the pool     size manually via ioctl concurrently, and this may lead     to UAF or out-of-bound access. (CVE-2018-7566)

  - A possible memory corruption due to a type confusion was     found in the Linux kernel in the sk_clone_lock()     function in the net/core/sock.c. The possibility of     local escalation of privileges cannot be fully ruled out     for a local unprivileged attacker. (CVE-2018-9568)

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

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP3 kernel was updated to 4.4.92 to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-1000252: The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel     allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service     (assertion failure, and hypervisor hang or crash) via an     out-of bounds guest_irq value, related to     arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c and virt/kvm/eventfd.c (bnc#1058038).

  - CVE-2017-11472: The acpi_ns_terminate() function in     drivers/acpi/acpica/nsutils.c in the Linux kernel did     not flush the operand cache and causes a kernel stack     dump, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory and bypass the KASLR     protection mechanism (in the kernel through 4.9) via a     crafted ACPI table (bnc#1049580).

  - CVE-2017-12134: The xen_biovec_phys_mergeable function     in drivers/xen/biomerge.c in Xen might allow local OS     guest users to corrupt block device data streams and     consequently obtain sensitive memory information, cause     a denial of service, or gain host OS privileges by     leveraging incorrect block IO merge-ability calculation     (bnc#1051790 bsc#1053919).

  - CVE-2017-12153: A security flaw was discovered in the     nl80211_set_rekey_data() function in     net/wireless/nl80211.c in the Linux kernel This function     did not check whether the required attributes are     present in a Netlink request. This request can be issued     by a user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability and may     result in a NULL pointer dereference and system crash     (bnc#1058410).

  - CVE-2017-12154: The prepare_vmcs02 function in     arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel did not ensure     that the 'CR8-load exiting' and 'CR8-store exiting' L0     vmcs02 controls exist in cases where L1 omits the 'use     TPR shadow' vmcs12 control, which allowed KVM L2 guest     OS users to obtain read and write access to the hardware     CR8 register (bnc#1058507).

  - CVE-2017-13080: Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2)     allowed reinstallation of the Group Temporal Key (GTK)     during the group key handshake, allowing an attacker     within radio range to replay frames from access points     to clients (bnc#1056061 1063479 1063667 1063671).

  - CVE-2017-14051: An integer overflow in the     qla2x00_sysfs_write_optrom_ctl function in     drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.c in the Linux kernel     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory     corruption and system crash) by leveraging root access     (bnc#1056588).

  - CVE-2017-14106: The tcp_disconnect function in     net/ipv4/tcp.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users     to cause a denial of service (__tcp_select_window     divide-by-zero error and system crash) by triggering a     disconnect within a certain tcp_recvmsg code path     (bnc#1056982).

  - CVE-2017-14489: The iscsi_if_rx function in     drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c in the Linux kernel     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (panic)     by leveraging incorrect length validation (bnc#1059051).

  - CVE-2017-15265: Use-after-free vulnerability in the     Linux kernel before 4.14-rc5 allowed local users to have     unspecified impact via vectors related to /dev/snd/seq     (bnc#1062520).

  - CVE-2017-15649: net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux     kernel allowed local users to gain privileges via     crafted system calls that trigger mishandling of     packet_fanout data structures, because of a race     condition (involving fanout_add and packet_do_bind) that     leads to a use-after-free, a different vulnerability     than CVE-2017-6346 (bnc#1064388).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

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

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3468-3 advisory.

    It was discovered that the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly bound guest IRQs. A local     attacker in a guest VM could use this to cause a denial of service (host system crash). (CVE-2017-1000252)

    It was discovered that the Flash-Friendly File System (f2fs) implementation in the Linux kernel did not     properly validate superblock metadata. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service     (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-10663)

    Anthony Perard discovered that the Xen virtual block driver did not properly initialize some data     structures before passing them to user space. A local attacker in a guest VM could use this to expose     sensitive information from the host OS or other guest VMs. (CVE-2017-10911)

    It was discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the POSIX message queue implementation in     the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-11176)

    Dave Chinner discovered that the XFS filesystem did not enforce that the realtime inode flag was settable     only on filesystems on a realtime device. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service     (system crash). (CVE-2017-14340)

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

The openSUSE Leap 42.2 Kernel was updated to 4.4.90 to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-1000252: The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel     allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service     (assertion failure, and hypervisor hang or crash) via an     out-of bounds guest_irq value, related to     arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c and virt/kvm/eventfd.c (bnc#1058038).

  - CVE-2017-14489: The iscsi_if_rx function in     drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c in the Linux kernel     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (panic)     by leveraging incorrect length validation (bnc#1059051).

  - CVE-2017-12153: A security flaw was discovered in the     nl80211_set_rekey_data() function in     net/wireless/nl80211.c in the Linux kernel This function     did not check whether the required attributes are     present in a Netlink request. This request can be issued     by a user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability and may     result in a NULL pointer dereference and system crash     (bnc#1058410).

  - CVE-2017-12154: The prepare_vmcs02 function in     arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel did not ensure     that the 'CR8-load exiting' and 'CR8-store exiting' L0     vmcs02 controls exist in cases where L1 omits the 'use     TPR shadow' vmcs12 control, which allowed KVM L2 guest     OS users to obtain read and write access to the hardware     CR8 register (bnc#1058507).

According to the versions of the kvm package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The msr_mtrr_valid function in arch/x86/kvm/mtrr.c in     the Linux kernel before 4.6.1 supports MSR 0x2f8, which     allows guest OS users to read or write to the     kvm_arch_vcpu data structure, and consequently obtain     sensitive information or cause a denial of service     (system crash), via a crafted ioctl     call.(CVE-2016-3713)

  - Linux kernel built with the Kernel-based Virtual     Machine (CONFIG_KVM) support is vulnerable to a null     pointer dereference flaw. It could occur on x86     platform, when emulating an undefined instruction. An     attacker could use this flaw to crash the host kernel     resulting in DoS.(CVE-2016-8630)

  - Linux kernel built with the Kernel-based Virtual     Machine (CONFIG_KVM) support was vulnerable to an     incorrect segment selector(SS) value error. The error     could occur while loading values into the SS register     in long mode. A user or process inside a guest could     use this flaw to crash the guest, resulting in DoS or     potentially escalate their privileges inside the     guest.(CVE-2017-2583)

  - arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel through     4.9.3 allows local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory or cause a denial of     service (use-after-free) via a crafted application that     leverages instruction emulation for fxrstor, fxsave,     sgdt, and sidt.(CVE-2017-2584)

  - A reachable assertion failure flaw was found in the     Linux kernel built with KVM virtualisation(CONFIG_KVM)     support with Virtual Function I/O feature (CONFIG_VFIO)     enabled. This failure could occur if a malicious guest     device sent a virtual interrupt (guest IRQ) with a     larger (i1/4z1024) index value.(CVE-2017-1000252)

  - An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern     microprocessor designs have implemented speculative     execution of instructions (a commonly used performance     optimization). There are three primary variants of the     issue which differ in the way the speculative execution     can be exploited. Variant CVE-2017-5715 triggers the     speculative execution by utilizing branch target     injection. It relies on the presence of a     precisely-defined instruction sequence in the     privileged code as well as the fact that memory     accesses may cause allocation into the microprocessor's     data cache even for speculatively executed instructions     that never actually commit (retire). As a result, an     unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to cross the     syscall and guest/host boundaries and read privileged     memory by conducting targeted cache side-channel     attacks.(CVE-2017-5715)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux KVM module     processed the trap flag(TF) bit in EFLAGS during     emulation of the syscall instruction, which leads to a     debug exception(#DB) being raised in the guest stack. A     user/process inside a guest could use this flaw to     potentially escalate their privileges inside the guest.
    Linux guests are not affected by this.(CVE-2017-7518)

  - Linux kernel compiled with the KVM virtualization     (CONFIG_KVM) support is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds     read access issue. It could occur when emulating vmcall     instructions invoked by a guest. A guest user/process     could use this flaw to disclose kernel memory     bytes.(CVE-2017-17741)

  - Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative     execution and speculative execution of memory reads     before the addresses of all prior memory writes are     known may allow unauthorized disclosure of information     to an attacker with local user access via a     side-channel analysis, aka Speculative Store Bypass     (SSB), Variant 4.(CVE-2018-3639)

  - kernel: kvm: guest userspace to guest kernel     write(CVE-2018-10853)

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.20.8,     kvm_ioctl_create_device in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c     mishandles reference counting because of a race     condition, leading to a use-after-free.(CVE-2019-6974)

  - The KVM implementation in the Linux kernel through     4.20.5 has an Information Leak.(CVE-2019-7222)

  - The KVM implementation in the Linux kernel through     4.20.5 has a Use-after-Free.(CVE-2019-7221)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

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

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has kernel-rt packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Integer overflow in the aio_setup_single_vector function     in fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel 4.0 allows local users     to cause a denial of service or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a large AIO iovec. NOTE:
    this vulnerability exists because of a CVE-2012-6701     regression. (CVE-2015-8830)

  - A weakness was found in the Linux ASLR implementation.
    Any user able to running 32-bit applications in a x86     machine can disable ASLR by setting the RLIMIT_STACK     resource to unlimited. (CVE-2016-3672)

  - The xc2028_set_config function in     drivers/media/tuners/tuner-xc2028.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.6 allows local users to gain privileges or     cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via vectors     involving omission of the firmware name from a certain     data structure. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege     escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we     believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2016-7913)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in the snd_pcm_info()     function in the ALSA subsystem in the Linux kernel     allows attackers to induce a kernel memory corruption     and possibly crash or lock up a system. Due to the     nature of the flaw, a privilege escalation cannot be     fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely.
    (CVE-2017-0861)

  - A reachable assertion failure flaw was found in the     Linux kernel built with KVM virtualisation(CONFIG_KVM)     support with Virtual Function I/O feature (CONFIG_VFIO)     enabled. This failure could occur if a malicious guest     device sent a virtual interrupt (guest IRQ) with a     larger (>1024) index value. (CVE-2017-1000252)

  - Linux kernel Virtualization Module (CONFIG_KVM) for the     Intel processor family (CONFIG_KVM_INTEL) is vulnerable     to a DoS issue. It could occur if a guest was to flood     the I/O port 0x80 with write requests. A guest user     could use this flaw to crash the host kernel resulting     in DoS. (CVE-2017-1000407)

  - A flaw was found in the processing of incoming L2CAP     bluetooth commands. Uninitialized stack variables can be     sent to an attacker leaking data in kernel address     space. (CVE-2017-1000410)

  - A race condition was found in the Linux kernel before     version 4.11-rc1 in 'fs/timerfd.c' file which allows a     local user to cause a kernel list corruption or use-     after-free via simultaneous operations with a file     descriptor which leverage improper 'might_cancel'     queuing. An unprivileged local user could use this flaw     to cause a denial of service of the system. Due to the     nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully     ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely.
    (CVE-2017-10661)

  - Linux kernel built with the KVM visualization support     (CONFIG_KVM), with nested visualization (nVMX) feature     enabled (nested=1), is vulnerable to a crash due to     disabled external interrupts. As L2 guest could access     (r/w) hardware CR8 register of the host(L0). In a nested     visualization setup, L2 guest user could use this flaw     to potentially crash the host(L0) resulting in DoS.
    (CVE-2017-12154)

  - It was found that in the Linux kernel through v4.14-rc5,     bio_map_user_iov() and bio_unmap_user() in 'block/bio.c'     do unbalanced pages refcounting if IO vector has small     consecutive buffers belonging to the same page.
    bio_add_pc_page() merges them into one, but the page     reference is never dropped, causing a memory leak and     possible system lockup due to out-of-memory condition.
    (CVE-2017-12190)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of     valid_master_desc() in which a memory buffer would be     compared to a userspace value with an incorrect size of     comparison. By bruteforcing the comparison, an attacker     could determine what was in memory after the description     and possibly obtain sensitive information from kernel     memory. (CVE-2017-13305)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in a network     namespaces code affecting the Linux kernel since     v4.0-rc1 through v4.15-rc5. The function     get_net_ns_by_id() does not check for the net::count     value after it has found a peer network in netns_ids idr     which could lead to double free and memory corruption.
    This vulnerability could allow an unprivileged local     user to induce kernel memory corruption on the system,     leading to a crash. Due to the nature of the flaw,     privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although     it is thought to be unlikely. (CVE-2017-15129)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found when issuing an     ioctl to a sound device. This could allow a user to     exploit a race condition and create memory corruption or     possibly privilege escalation. (CVE-2017-15265)

  - A flaw was found in the implementation of associative     arrays where the add_key systemcall and KEYCTL_UPDATE     operations allowed for a NULL payload with a nonzero     length. When accessing the payload within this length     parameters value, an unprivileged user could trivially     cause a NULL pointer dereference (kernel oops).
    (CVE-2017-15274)

  - The net/netfilter/nfnetlink_cthelper.c function in the     Linux kernel through 4.14.4 does not require the     CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for new, get, and del     operations. This allows local users to bypass intended     access restrictions because the nfnl_cthelper_list data     structure is shared across all net namespaces.
    (CVE-2017-17448)

  - The __netlink_deliver_tap_skb function in     net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel, through     4.14.4, does not restrict observations of Netlink     messages to a single net namespace, when CONFIG_NLMON is     enabled. This allows local users to obtain sensitive     information by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     to sniff an nlmon interface for all Netlink activity on     the system. (CVE-2017-17449)

  - The usb_destroy_configuration() function, in     'drivers/usb/core/config.c' in the USB core subsystem,     in the Linux kernel through 4.14.5 does not consider the     maximum number of configurations and interfaces before     attempting to release resources. This allows local users     to cause a denial of service, due to out-of-bounds write     access, or possibly have unspecified other impact via a     crafted USB device. Due to the nature of the flaw,     privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although     we believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2017-17558)

  - The Salsa20 encryption algorithm in the Linux kernel,     before 4.14.8, does not correctly handle zero-length     inputs. This allows a local attacker the ability to use     the AF_ALG-based skcipher interface to cause a denial of     service (uninitialized-memory free and kernel crash) or     have an unspecified other impact by executing a crafted     sequence of system calls that use the blkcipher_walk     API. Both the generic implementation     (crypto/salsa20_generic.c) and x86 implementation     (arch/x86/crypto/salsa20_glue.c) of Salsa20 are     vulnerable. (CVE-2017-17805)

  - The tcpmss_mangle_packet function in     net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c in the Linux kernel before     4.11, and 4.9.x before 4.9.36, allows remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and memory     corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by     leveraging the presence of xt_TCPMSS in an iptables     action. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege     escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we     believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2017-18017)

  - The Linux kernel, before version 4.14.3, is vulnerable     to a denial of service in     drivers/md/dm.c:dm_get_from_kobject() which can be     caused by local users leveraging a race condition with
    __dm_destroy() during creation and removal of DM     devices. Only privileged local users (with CAP_SYS_ADMIN     capability) can directly perform the ioctl operations     for dm device creation and removal and this would     typically be outside the direct control of the     unprivileged attacker. (CVE-2017-18203)

  - The madvise_willneed function in the Linux kernel allows     local users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop)     by triggering use of MADVISE_WILLNEED for a DAX mapping.
    (CVE-2017-18208)

  - A flaw was found where the kernel truncated the value     used to indicate the size of a buffer which it would     later become zero using an untruncated value. This can     corrupt memory outside of the original allocation.
    (CVE-2017-9725)

  - In the Linux kernel versions 4.12, 3.10, 2.6, and     possibly earlier, a race condition vulnerability exists     in the sound system allowing for a potential deadlock     and memory corruption due to use-after-free condition     and thus denial of service. Due to the nature of the     flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out,     although we believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2018-1000004)

  - Improper validation in the bnx2x network card driver of     the Linux kernel version 4.15 can allow for denial of     service (DoS) attacks via a packet with a gso_size     larger than ~9700 bytes. Untrusted guest VMs can exploit     this vulnerability in the host machine, causing a crash     in the network card. (CVE-2018-1000026)

  - By mmap()ing a FUSE-backed file onto a process's memory     containing command line arguments (or environment     strings), an attacker can cause utilities from psutils     or procps (such as ps, w) or any other program which     makes a read() call to the /proc//cmdline (or     /proc//environ) files to block indefinitely (denial     of service) or for some controlled time (as a     synchronization primitive for other attacks).
    (CVE-2018-1120)

  - A null pointer dereference in dccp_write_xmit() function     in net/dccp/output.c in the Linux kernel allows a local     user to cause a denial of service by a number of certain     crafted system calls. (CVE-2018-1130)

  - An issue was discovered in the proc_pid_stack function     in fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel. An attacker with     a local account can trick the stack unwinder code to     leak stack contents to userspace. The fix allows only     root to inspect the kernel stack of an arbitrary task.
    (CVE-2018-17972)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel with files on tmpfs     and hugetlbfs. An attacker is able to bypass file     permissions on filesystems mounted with tmpfs/hugetlbs     to modify a file and possibly disrupt normal system     behavior. At this time there is an understanding there     is no crash or privilege escalation but the impact of     modifications on these filesystems of files in     production systems may have adverse affects.
    (CVE-2018-18397)

  - In the Linux kernel before 4.17, a local attacker able     to set attributes on an xfs filesystem could make this     filesystem non-operational until the next mount by     triggering an unchecked error condition during an xfs     attribute change, because xfs_attr_shortform_addname in     fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr.c mishandles ATTR_REPLACE     operations with conversion of an attr from short to long     form. (CVE-2018-18690)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handling of     loopback devices. An attacker, who has permissions to     setup loopback disks, may create a denial of service or     other unspecified actions. (CVE-2018-5344)

  - The acpi_smbus_hc_add function in drivers/acpi/sbshc.c     in the Linux kernel, through 4.14.15, allows local users     to obtain sensitive address information by reading dmesg     data from an SBS HC printk call. (CVE-2018-5750)

  - An error in the _sctp_make_chunk() function     (net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c) when handling SCTP, packet     length can be exploited by a malicious local user to     cause a kernel crash and a DoS. (CVE-2018-5803)

  - In the function wmi_set_ie() in the Linux kernel the     length validation code does not handle unsigned integer     overflow properly. As a result, a large value of the     ie_len argument can cause a buffer overflow and thus a     memory corruption leading to a system crash or other or     unspecified impact. Due to the nature of the flaw,     privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although     we believe it is unlikely. (CVE-2018-5848)

  - ALSA sequencer core initializes the event pool on demand     by invoking snd_seq_pool_init() when the first write     happens and the pool is empty. A user can reset the pool     size manually via ioctl concurrently, and this may lead     to UAF or out-of-bound access. (CVE-2018-7566)

  - A possible memory corruption due to a type confusion was     found in the Linux kernel in the sk_clone_lock()     function in the net/core/sock.c. The possibility of     local escalation of privileges cannot be fully ruled out     for a local unprivileged attacker. (CVE-2018-9568)

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

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 atalk_recvmsg function in net/appletalk/ddp.c in     the Linux kernel before 3.12.4 updates a certain length     value without ensuring that an associated data     structure has been initialized, which allows local     users to obtain sensitive information from kernel     memory via a (1) recvfrom, (2) recvmmsg, or (3) recvmsg     system call.(CVE-2013-7267i1/4%0

  - fs/f2fs/segment.c in the Linux kernel allows local     users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and panic) by using a noflush_merge option     that triggers a NULL value for a flush_cmd_control data     structure.(CVE-2017-18241i1/4%0

  - fs/pnode.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.4 does not     properly traverse a mount propagation tree in a certain     case involving a slave mount, which allows local users     to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference     and OOPS) via a crafted series of mount system     calls.(CVE-2016-4581i1/4%0

  - drivers/vhost/net.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13.10,     when mergeable buffers are disabled, does not properly     validate packet lengths, which allows guest OS users to     cause a denial of service (memory corruption and host     OS crash) or possibly gain privileges on the host OS     via crafted packets, related to the handle_rx and     get_rx_bufs functions.(CVE-2014-0077i1/4%0

  - It was found that the fix for CVE-2016-9576 was     incomplete: the Linux kernel's sg implementation did     not properly restrict write operations in situations     where the KERNEL_DS option is set. A local attacker to     read or write to arbitrary kernel memory locations or     cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by     leveraging write access to a /dev/sg     device.(CVE-2016-10088i1/4%0

  - ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in the Linux     kernel through 4.17.2. Since the page allocator does     not yield CPU resources to the owner of the oom_lock     mutex, a local unprivileged user can trivially lock up     the system forever by wasting CPU resources from the     page allocator (e.g., via concurrent page fault events)     when the global OOM killer is invoked. NOTE: the     software maintainer has not accepted certain proposed     patches, in part because of a viewpoint that 'the     underlying problem is non-trivial to     handle.'(CVE-2016-10723i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's ASN.1     DER decoder processed certain certificate files with     tags of indefinite length. A local, unprivileged user     could use a specially crafted X.509 certificate DER     file to crash the system or, potentially, escalate     their privileges on the system.(CVE-2016-0758i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Stream     Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) implementation     handled the association's output queue. A remote     attacker could send specially crafted packets that     would cause the system to use an excessive amount of     memory, leading to a denial of     service.(CVE-2014-3688i1/4%0

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the     ping_init_sock() function of the Linux kernel handled     the group_info reference counter. A local, unprivileged     user could use this flaw to crash the system or,     potentially, escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2014-2851i1/4%0

  - The compat_get_timex function in kernel/compat.c in the     Linux kernel before 4.16.9 allows local users to obtain     sensitive information from kernel memory via     adjtimex.(CVE-2018-11508i1/4%0

  - The cdc_parse_cdc_header() function in     'drivers/usb/core/message.c' 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 impact via a crafted     USB device. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege     escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we     believe it is unlikely.(CVE-2017-16534i1/4%0

  - A flaw was found in the crypto subsystem of the Linux     kernel before version kernel-4.15-rc4. The 'null     skcipher' was being dropped when each af_alg_ctx was     freed instead of when the aead_tfm was freed. This can     cause the null skcipher to be freed while it is still     in use leading to a local user being able to crash the     system or possibly escalate     privileges.(CVE-2018-14619i1/4%0

  - The crypto_skcipher_init_tfm function in     crypto/skcipher.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.2     relies on a setkey function that lacks a key-size     check, which allows local users to cause a denial of     service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted     application.(CVE-2017-9211i1/4%0

  - kernel/events/core.c in the performance subsystem in     the Linux kernel before 4.0 mismanages locks during     certain migrations, which allows local users to gain     privileges via a crafted application, aka Android     internal bug 30955111.(CVE-2016-6786i1/4%0

  - The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel omitted an     access-control check when writing a key to the current     task's default keyring, allowing a local user to bypass     security checks to the keyring. This compromises the     validity of the keyring for those who rely on     it.(CVE-2017-17807i1/4%0

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's SCTP implementation handled authentication key     reference counting during INIT collisions. A remote     attacker could use this flaw to crash the system or,     potentially, escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2015-1421i1/4%0

  - The waitid implementation in kernel/exit.c in the Linux     kernel through 4.13.4 accesses rusage data structures     in unintended cases. This can allow local users to     obtain sensitive information and bypass the KASLR     protection mechanism via a crafted system     call.(CVE-2017-14954i1/4%0

  - It was found that the Linux kernel's keyring     implementation would leak memory when adding a key to a     keyring via the add_key() function. A local attacker     could use this flaw to exhaust all available memory on     the system.(CVE-2015-1333i1/4%0

  - The msm_ipc_router_close function in     net/ipc_router/ipc_router_socket.c in the ipc_router     component for the Linux kernel 3.x, as used in Qualcomm     Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM     devices and other products, allow attackers to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) or     possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering     failure of an accept system call for an AF_MSM_IPC     socket.(CVE-2016-5870i1/4%0

  - A reachable assertion failure flaw was found in the     Linux kernel built with KVM virtualisation(CONFIG_KVM)     support with Virtual Function I/O feature (CONFIG_VFIO)     enabled. This failure could occur if a malicious guest     device sent a virtual interrupt (guest IRQ) with a     larger (i1/4z1024) index value.(CVE-2017-1000252i1/4%0

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

It was discovered that the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly bound guest IRQs. A local attacker in a guest VM could use this to cause a denial of service (host system crash).
(CVE-2017-1000252)

Dave Chinner discovered that the XFS filesystem did not enforce that the realtime inode flag was settable only on filesystems on a realtime device. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2017-14340).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

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

  - The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.13.3 allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service     (assertion failure, and hypervisor hang or crash) via an out-of bounds guest_irq value, related to     arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c and virt/kvm/eventfd.c. (CVE-2017-1000252)

Additional Changes :

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

  - CVE-2017-7518     Andy Lutomirski discovered that KVM is prone to an     incorrect debug exception (#DB) error occurring while     emulating a syscall instruction. A process inside a     guest can take advantage of this flaw for privilege     escalation inside a guest.

  - CVE-2017-7558 (stretch only)     Stefano Brivio of Red Hat discovered that the SCTP     subsystem is prone to a data leak vulnerability due to     an out-of-bounds read flaw, allowing to leak up to 100     uninitialized bytes to userspace.

  - CVE-2017-10661 (jessie only)     Dmitry Vyukov of Google reported that the timerfd     facility does not properly handle certain concurrent     operations on a single file descriptor. This allows a     local attacker to cause a denial of service or     potentially execute arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2017-11600     Bo Zhang reported that the xfrm subsystem does not     properly validate one of the parameters to a netlink     message. Local users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     can use this to cause a denial of service or potentially     to execute arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2017-12134 / #866511 / XSA-229     Jan H. Schoenherr of Amazon discovered that when Linux     is running in a Xen PV domain on an x86 system, it may     incorrectly merge block I/O requests. A buggy or     malicious guest may trigger this bug in dom0 or a PV     driver domain, causing a denial of service or     potentially execution of arbitrary code.

  This issue can be mitigated by disabling merges on the underlying   back-end block devices, e.g.:echo 2 >   /sys/block/nvme0n1/queue/nomerges

  - CVE-2017-12146 (stretch only)     Adrian Salido of Google reported a race condition in     access to the'driver_override' attribute for platform     devices in sysfs. If unprivileged users are permitted to     access this attribute, this might allow them to gain     privileges.

  - CVE-2017-12153     Bo Zhang reported that the cfg80211 (wifi) subsystem     does not properly validate the parameters to a netlink     message. Local users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     (in any user namespace with a wifi device) can use this     to cause a denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-12154     Jim Mattson of Google reported that the KVM     implementation for Intel x86 processors did not     correctly handle certain nested hypervisor     configurations. A malicious guest (or nested guest in a     suitable L1 hypervisor) could use this for denial of     service.

  - CVE-2017-14106     Andrey Konovalov discovered that a user-triggerable     division by zero in the tcp_disconnect() function could     result in local denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-14140     Otto Ebeling reported that the move_pages() system call     performed insufficient validation of the UIDs of the     calling and target processes, resulting in a partial     ASLR bypass. This made it easier for local users to     exploit vulnerabilities in programs installed with the     set-UID permission bit set.

  - CVE-2017-14156     'sohu0106' reported an information leak in the atyfb     video driver. A local user with access to a framebuffer     device handled by this driver could use this to obtain     sensitive information.

  - CVE-2017-14340     Richard Wareing discovered that the XFS implementation     allows the creation of files with the 'realtime' flag on     a filesystem with no realtime device, which can result     in a crash (oops). A local user with access to an XFS     filesystem that does not have a realtime device can use     this for denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-14489     ChunYu Wang of Red Hat discovered that the iSCSI     subsystem does not properly validate the length of a     netlink message, leading to memory corruption. A local     user with permission to manage iSCSI devices can use     this for denial of service or possibly to execute     arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2017-14497 (stretch only)     Benjamin Poirier of SUSE reported that vnet headers are     not properly handled within the tpacket_rcv() function     in the raw packet (af_packet) feature. A local user with     the CAP_NET_RAW capability can take advantage of this     flaw to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow, and     disk and memory corruption) or have other impact.

  - CVE-2017-1000111     Andrey Konovalov of Google reported a race condition in     the raw packet (af_packet) feature. Local users with the     CAP_NET_RAW capability can use this for denial of     service or possibly to execute arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2017-1000112     Andrey Konovalov of Google reported a race condition     flaw in the UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) code. A     local user can use this flaw for denial of service or     possibly to execute arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2017-1000251 / #875881     Armis Labs discovered that the Bluetooth subsystem does     not properly validate L2CAP configuration responses,     leading to a stack-based buffer overflow. This is one of     several vulnerabilities dubbed 'Blueborne'. A nearby     attacker can use this to cause a denial of service or     possibly to execute arbitrary code on a system with     Bluetooth enabled.

  - CVE-2017-1000252 (stretch only)     Jan H. Schoenherr of Amazon reported that the KVM     implementation for Intel x86 processors did not     correctly validate interrupt injection requests. A local     user with permission to use KVM could use this for     denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-1000370     The Qualys Research Labs reported that a large argument     or environment list can result in ASLR bypass for 32-bit     PIE binaries.

  - CVE-2017-1000371     The Qualys Research Labs reported that a large argument     or environment list can result in a stack/heap clash for     32-bit PIE binaries.

  - CVE-2017-1000380     Alexander Potapenko of Google reported a race condition     in the ALSA (sound) timer driver, leading to an     information leak. A local user with permission to access     sound devices could use this to obtain sensitive     information.

Debian disables unprivileged user namespaces by default, but if they are enabled (via the kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone sysctl) then CVE-2017-11600, CVE-2017-14497 and CVE-2017-1000111 can be exploited by any local user.
