The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-3488-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly keep track of nested levels     in guest page tables. A local attacker in a guest VM could use this to cause a denial of service (host OS     crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code in the host OS.

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

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

An update of the linux package has been released.

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

  - arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c in the Linux kernel through 4.13.5,     when nested virtualisation is used, does not properly     traverse guest pagetable entries to resolve a guest     virtual address, which allows L1 guest OS users to     execute arbitrary code on the host OS or cause a denial     of service (incorrect index during page walking, and     host OS crash), aka an MMU potential stack buffer     overrun.(CVE-2017-12188)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Key Management sub     component of the Linux kernel, where when trying to     issue a KEYTCL_READ on negative key would lead to a     NULL pointer dereference. A local attacker could use     this flaw to crash the kernel.(CVE-2017-12192)

  - security/keys/keyctl.c in the Linux kernel before     4.11.5 does not consider the case of a NULL payload in     conjunction with a nonzero length value, which allows     local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and OOPS) via a crafted add_key or keyctl     system call, a different vulnerability than     CVE-2017-12192.(CVE-2017-15274)

  - Linux kernel: heap out-of-bounds in AF_PACKET sockets.
    This new issue is analogous to previously disclosed     CVE-2016-8655. In both cases, a socket option that     changes socket state may race with safety checks in     packet_set_ring. Previously with PACKET_VERSION. This     time with PACKET_RESERVE. The solution is similar: lock     the socket for the update. This issue may be     exploitable, we did not investigate further. As this     issue affects PF_PACKET sockets, it requires     CAP_NET_RAW in the process namespace. But note that     with user namespaces enabled, any process can create a     namespace in which it has     CAP_NET_RAW.(CVE-2017-1000111)

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

  - net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel before     4.13.6 allows 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.(CVE-2017-15649)

  - The sg_ioctl function in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux     kernel before 4.13.4 allows local users to obtain     sensitive information from uninitialized kernel     heap-memory locations via an SG_GET_REQUEST_TABLE ioctl     call for /dev/sg0.(CVE-2017-14991)

  - An exploitable memory corruption flaw was found in the     Linux kernel. The append path can be erroneously     switched from UFO to non-UFO in ip_ufo_append_data()     when building an UFO packet with MSG_MORE option. If     unprivileged user namespaces are available, this flaw     can be exploited to gain root     privileges.(CVE-2017-1000112)

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

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's key management     system where it was possible for an attacker to escalate     privileges or crash the machine. If a user key gets     negatively instantiated, an error code is cached in the     payload area. A negatively instantiated key may be then     be positively instantiated by updating it with valid     data. However, the ->update key type method must be     aware that the error code may be there. (CVE-2015-8539)

  - 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)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Key Management sub     component of the Linux kernel, where when trying to     issue a KEYTCL_READ on a negative key would lead to a     NULL pointer dereference. A local attacker could use     this flaw to crash the kernel. (CVE-2017-12192)

  - The Linux kernel built with the KVM visualization     support (CONFIG_KVM), with nested visualization(nVMX)     feature enabled (nested=1), was vulnerable to a stack     buffer overflow issue. The vulnerability could occur     while traversing guest page table entries to resolve     guest virtual address(gva). An L1 guest could use this     flaw to crash the host kernel resulting in denial of     service (DoS) or potentially execute arbitrary code on     the host to gain privileges on the system.
    (CVE-2017-12188)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of     associative arrays introduced in 3.13. This     functionality was backported to the 3.10 kernels in Red     Hat Enterprise Linux 7. The flaw involved a null pointer     dereference in assoc_array_apply_edit() due to incorrect     node-splitting in assoc_array implementation. This     affects the keyring key type and thus key addition and     link creation operations may cause the kernel to panic.
    (CVE-2017-12193)

  - It was found that fanout_add() in     'net/packet/af_packet.c' in the Linux kernel, before     version 4.13.6, allows 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 bug. (CVE-2017-15649)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel where the     keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring() function leaks the thread     keyring. This allows an unprivileged local user to     exhaust kernel memory and thus cause a DoS.
    (CVE-2017-7472)
