The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3001-1 advisory.

    Justin Yackoski discovered that the Atheros L2 Ethernet Driver in the Linux kernel incorrectly enables     scatter/gather I/O. A remote attacker could use this to obtain potentially sensitive information from     kernel memory. (CVE-2016-2117)

    Jann Horn discovered that eCryptfs improperly attempted to use the mmap() handler of a lower filesystem     that did not implement one, causing a recursive page fault to occur. A local unprivileged attacker could     use to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code with administrative     privileges. (CVE-2016-1583)

    Jason A. Donenfeld discovered multiple out-of-bounds reads in the OZMO USB over wifi device drivers in the     Linux kernel. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or obtain     potentially sensitive information from kernel memory. (CVE-2015-4004)

    Ralf Spenneberg discovered that the Linux kernel's GTCO digitizer USB device driver did not properly     validate endpoint descriptors. An attacker with physical access could use this to cause a denial of     service (system crash). (CVE-2016-2187)

    Hector Marco and Ismael Ripoll discovered that the Linux kernel would improperly disable Address Space     Layout Randomization (ASLR) for x86 processes running in 32 bit mode if stack-consumption resource limits     were disabled. A local attacker could use this to make it easier to exploit an existing vulnerability in a     setuid/setgid program. (CVE-2016-3672)

    Andrey Konovalov discovered that the CDC Network Control Model USB driver in the Linux kernel did not     cancel work events queued if a later error occurred, resulting in a use-after-free. An attacker with     physical access could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2016-3951)

    It was discovered that an out-of-bounds write could occur when handling incoming packets in the USB/IP     implementation in the Linux kernel. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-3955)

    (CVE-2016-3961)

    Kangjie Lu discovered an information leak in the ANSI/IEEE 802.2 LLC type 2 Support implementations in the     Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel     memory. (CVE-2016-4485)

    Kangjie Lu discovered an information leak in the routing netlink socket interface (rtnetlink)     implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to obtain potentially sensitive     information from kernel memory. (CVE-2016-4486)

    Jann Horn discovered that the InfiniBand interfaces within the Linux kernel could be coerced into     overwriting kernel memory.

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.

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

  - CVE-2015-7515, CVE-2016-2184, CVE-2016-2185,     CVE-2016-2186, CVE-2016-2187, CVE-2016-3136,     CVE-2016-3137, CVE-2016-3138, CVE-2016-3140     Ralf Spenneberg of OpenSource Security reported that     various USB drivers do not sufficiently validate USB     descriptors. This allowed a physically present user with     a specially designed USB device to cause a denial of     service (crash).

  - CVE-2016-0821     Solar Designer noted that the list 'poisoning' feature,     intended to mitigate the effects of bugs in list     manipulation in the kernel, used poison values within     the range of virtual addresses that can be allocated by     user processes.

  - CVE-2016-1237     David Sinquin discovered that nfsd does not check     permissions when setting ACLs, allowing users to grant     themselves permissions to a file by setting the ACL.

  - CVE-2016-1583     Jann Horn of Google Project Zero reported that the     eCryptfs filesystem could be used together with the proc     filesystem to cause a kernel stack overflow. If the     ecryptfs-utils package is installed, local users could     exploit this, via the mount.ecryptfs_private program,     for denial of service (crash) or possibly for privilege     escalation.

  - CVE-2016-2117     Justin Yackoski of Cryptonite discovered that the     Atheros L2 ethernet driver incorrectly enables     scatter/gather I/O. A remote attacker could take     advantage of this flaw to obtain potentially sensitive     information from kernel memory.

  - CVE-2016-2143     Marcin Koscielnicki discovered that the fork     implementation in the Linux kernel on s390 platforms     mishandles the case of four page-table levels, which     allows local users to cause a denial of service (system     crash).

  - CVE-2016-3070     Jan Stancek of Red Hat discovered a local denial of     service vulnerability in AIO handling.

  - CVE-2016-3134     The Google Project Zero team found that the netfilter     subsystem does not sufficiently validate filter table     entries. A user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability could     use this for denial of service (crash) or possibly for     privilege escalation. Debian disables unprivileged user     namespaces by default, if locally enabled with the     kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone sysctl, this allows     privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2016-3156     Solar Designer discovered that the IPv4 implementation     in the Linux kernel did not perform the destruction of     inet device objects properly. An attacker in a guest OS     could use this to cause a denial of service (networking     outage) in the host OS.

  - CVE-2016-3157 / XSA-171     Andy Lutomirski discovered that the x86_64 (amd64) task     switching implementation did not correctly update the     I/O permission level when running as a Xen paravirtual     (PV) guest. In some configurations this would allow     local users to cause a denial of service (crash) or to     escalate their privileges within the guest.

  - CVE-2016-3672     Hector Marco and Ismael Ripoll noted that it was     possible to disable Address Space Layout Randomisation     (ASLR) for x86_32 (i386) programs by removing the stack     resource limit. This made it easier for local users to     exploit security flaws in programs that have the setuid     or setgid flag set.

  - CVE-2016-3951     It was discovered that the cdc_ncm driver would free     memory prematurely if certain errors occurred during its     initialisation. This allowed a physically present user     with a specially designed USB device to cause a denial     of service (crash) or possibly to escalate their     privileges.

  - CVE-2016-3955     Ignat Korchagin reported that the usbip subsystem did     not check the length of data received for a USB buffer.
    This allowed denial of service (crash) or privilege     escalation on a system configured as a usbip client, by     the usbip server or by an attacker able to impersonate     it over the network. A system configured as a usbip     server might be similarly vulnerable to physically     present users.

  - CVE-2016-3961 / XSA-174     Vitaly Kuznetsov of Red Hat discovered that Linux     allowed the use of hugetlbfs on x86 (i386 and amd64)     systems even when running as a Xen paravirtualised (PV)     guest, although Xen does not support huge pages. This     allowed users with access to /dev/hugepages to cause a     denial of service (crash) in the guest.

  - CVE-2016-4470     David Howells of Red Hat discovered that a local user     can trigger a flaw in the Linux kernel's handling of key     lookups in the keychain subsystem, leading to a denial     of service (crash) or possibly to privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2016-4482, CVE-2016-4485, CVE-2016-4486,     CVE-2016-4569, CVE-2016-4578, CVE-2016-4580,     CVE-2016-5243, CVE-2016-5244

    Kangjie Lu reported that the USB devio, llc, rtnetlink,     ALSA timer, x25, tipc, and rds facilities leaked     information from the kernel stack.

  - CVE-2016-4565     Jann Horn of Google Project Zero reported that various     components in the InfiniBand stack implemented unusual     semantics for the write() operation. On a system with     InfiniBand drivers loaded, local users could use this     for denial of service or privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2016-4581     Tycho Andersen discovered that in some situations the     Linux kernel did not handle propagated mounts correctly.
    A local user can take advantage of this flaw to cause a     denial of service (system crash).

  - CVE-2016-4805     Baozeng Ding discovered a use-after-free in the generic     PPP layer in the Linux kernel. A local user can take     advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service     (system crash), or potentially escalate their     privileges.

  - CVE-2016-4913     Al Viro found that the ISO9660 filesystem implementation     did not correctly count the length of certain invalid     name entries. Reading a directory containing such name     entries would leak information from kernel memory. Users     permitted to mount disks or disk images could use this     to obtain sensitive information.

  - CVE-2016-4997 / CVE-2016-4998     Jesse Hertz and Tim Newsham discovered that missing     input sanitising in Netfilter socket handling may result     in denial of service. Debian disables unprivileged user     namespaces by default, if locally enabled with the     kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone sysctl, this also     allows privilege escalation.

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-001862 advisory.

    The atl2_probe function in drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/atlx/atl2.c in the Linux kernel through 4.5.2     incorrectly enables scatter/gather I/O, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from     kernel memory by reading packet data.

Additional Changes :

For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 Release Notes linked from the References section.

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

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's key management subsystem handled keyring     object reference counting in certain error path of the     join_session_keyring() function. A local, unprivileged     user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges     on the system.(CVE-2016-0728)

  - 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-2016-0758)

  - The LIST_POISON feature in include/linux/poison.h in     the Linux kernel before 4.3, as used in Android 6.0.1     before 2016-03-01, does not properly consider the     relationship to the mmap_min_addr value, which makes it     easier for attackers to bypass a poison-pointer     protection mechanism by triggering the use of an     uninitialized list entry, aka Android internal bug     26186802, a different vulnerability than     CVE-2015-3636.(CVE-2016-0821)

  - The pagemap_open function in fs/proc/task_mmu.c in the     Linux kernel before 3.19.3, as used in Android 6.0.1     before 2016-03-01, allows local users to obtain     sensitive physical-address information by reading a     pagemap file, aka Android internal bug     25739721.(CVE-2016-0823)

  - The aio_mount function in fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel     does not properly restrict execute access, which makes     it easier for local users to bypass intended SELinux     W^X policy restrictions.(CVE-2016-10044)

  - 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-2016-10088)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel     which enables a race condition in the L2TPv3 IP     Encapsulation feature. A local user could use this flaw     to escalate their privileges or crash the     system.(CVE-2016-10200)

  - Mounting a crafted EXT4 image read-only leads to an     attacker controlled memory corruption and     SLAB-Out-of-Bounds reads.(CVE-2016-10208)

  - The Linux kernel allows remote attackers to execute     arbitrary code via UDP traffic that triggers an unsafe     second checksum calculation during execution of a recv     system call with the MSG_PEEK flag. This may create a     kernel panic or memory corruption leading to privilege     escalation.(CVE-2016-10229)

  - The overlayfs implementation in the Linux kernel     through 4.5.2 does not properly maintain POSIX ACL     xattr data, which allows local users to gain privileges     by leveraging a group-writable setgid     directory.(CVE-2016-1575)

  - The overlayfs implementation in the Linux kernel     through 4.5.2 does not properly restrict the mount     namespace, which allows local users to gain privileges     by mounting an overlayfs filesystem on top of a FUSE     filesystem, and then executing a crafted setuid     program.(CVE-2016-1576)

  - A syntax vulnerability was discovered in the kernel's     ASN1.1 DER decoder, which could lead to memory     corruption or a complete local denial of service     through x509 certificate DER files. A local system user     could use a specially created key file to trigger     BUG_ON() in the public_key_verify_signature() function     (crypto/asymmetric_keys/public_key.c), to cause a     kernel panic and crash the system.(CVE-2016-2053)

  - A flaw was discovered in the way the Linux kernel dealt     with paging structures. When the kernel invalidated a     paging structure that was not in use locally, it could,     in principle, race against another CPU that is     switching to a process that uses the paging structure     in question. A local user could use a thread running     with a stale cached virtual-i1/4zphysical translation to     potentially escalate their privileges if the     translation in question were writable and the physical     page got reused for something critical (for example, a     page table).(CVE-2016-2069)

  - A divide-by-zero vulnerability was found in a way the     kernel processes TCP connections. The error can occur     if a connection starts another cwnd reduction phase by     setting tp-i1/4zprior_cwnd to the current cwnd (0) in     tcp_init_cwnd_reduction(). A remote, unauthenticated     attacker could use this flaw to crash the kernel     (denial of service).(CVE-2016-2070)

  - It was discovered that the atl2_probe() function in the     Atheros L2 Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel     incorrectly enabled scatter/gather I/O. A remote     attacker could use this flaw to obtain potentially     sensitive information from the kernel     memory.(CVE-2016-2117)

    CVE-2016-5828     The start_thread function in arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c in the     Linux kernel through 4.6.3 on powerpc platforms mishandles     transactional state, which allows local users to cause a denial of     service (invalid process state or TM Bad Thing exception, and system     crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by starting and     suspending a transaction before an exec system call.
    CVE-2016-5829     Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the hiddev_ioctl_usage     function in drivers/hid/usbhid/hiddev.c in the Linux kernel through     4.6.3 allow local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted (1) HIDIOCGUSAGES or (2)     HIDIOCSUSAGES ioctl call.
    CVE-2016-6136     Race condition in the audit_log_single_execve_arg function in     kernel/auditsc.c in the Linux kernel through 4.7 allows local users to     bypass intended character-set restrictions or disrupt system-call     auditing by changing a certain string, aka a double fetch     vulnerability.
    CVE-2016-6198     The filesystem layer in the Linux kernel before 4.5.5 proceeds with     post-rename operations after an OverlayFS file is renamed to a     self-hardlink, which allows local users to cause a denial of service     (system crash) via a rename system call, related to fs/namei.c and     fs/open.c.
    CVE-2016-6327     drivers/infiniband/ulp/srpt/ib_srpt.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.1     allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and system crash) by using an ABORT_TASK command to abort     a device write operation.
    CVE-2016-6480     Race condition in the ioctl_send_fib function in     drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c in the Linux kernel through 4.7 allows     local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access or     system crash) by changing a certain size value, aka a double fetch     vulnerability.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3006-1 advisory.

    Justin Yackoski discovered that the Atheros L2 Ethernet Driver in the Linux kernel incorrectly enables     scatter/gather I/O. A remote attacker could use this to obtain potentially sensitive information from     kernel memory. (CVE-2016-2117)

    Jann Horn discovered that eCryptfs improperly attempted to use the mmap() handler of a lower filesystem     that did not implement one, causing a recursive page fault to occur. A local unprivileged attacker could     use to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code with administrative     privileges. (CVE-2016-1583)

    Multiple race conditions where discovered in the Linux kernel's ext4 file system. A local user could     exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (disk corruption) by writing to a page that is associated     with a different users file after unsynchronized hole punching and page-fault handling. (CVE-2015-8839)

    Ralf Spenneberg discovered that the Linux kernel's GTCO digitizer USB device driver did not properly     validate endpoint descriptors. An attacker with physical access could use this to cause a denial of     service (system crash). (CVE-2016-2187)

    Vitaly Kuznetsov discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly suppress hugetlbfs support in X86     paravirtualized guests. An attacker in the guest OS could cause a denial of service (guest system crash).
    (CVE-2016-3961)

    Kangjie Lu discovered an information leak in the ANSI/IEEE 802.2 LLC type 2 Support implementations in the     Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel     memory. (CVE-2016-4485)

    Kangjie Lu discovered an information leak in the routing netlink socket interface (rtnetlink)     implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to obtain potentially sensitive     information from kernel memory. (CVE-2016-4486)

    Jann Horn discovered that the extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) implementation in the Linux kernel     could overflow reference counters on systems with more than 32GB of physical ram and with RLIMIT_MEMLOCK     set to infinite. A local unprivileged attacker could use to create a use-after- free situation, causing a     denial of service (system crash) or possibly gain administrative privileges. (CVE-2016-4558)

    Jann Horn discovered that the InfiniBand interfaces within the Linux kernel could be coerced into     overwriting kernel memory. A local unprivileged attacker could use this to possibly gain administrative     privileges on systems where InifiniBand related kernel modules are loaded. (CVE-2016-4565)

    It was discovered that in some situations the Linux kernel did not handle propagated mounts correctly. A     local unprivileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2016-4581)

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

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

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

  - A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux     kernel's SCTP implementation handled sctp_accept()     during the processing of heartbeat timeout events. A     remote attacker could use this flaw to prevent further     connections to be accepted by the SCTP server running     on the system, resulting in a denial of     service.(CVE-2015-8767)

  - The ovl_setattr function in fs/overlayfs/inode.c in the     Linux kernel through 4.3.3 attempts to merge distinct     setattr operations, which allows local users to bypass     intended access restrictions and modify the attributes     of arbitrary overlay files via a crafted     application.(CVE-2015-8660)

  - Several Moderate and Low impact security issues were     found in the Linux kernel. Space precludes documenting     each of these issues in this advisory. Refer to the CVE     links in the References section for a description of     each of these vulnerabilities. (CVE-2015-8746,     CVE-2015-8812, CVE-2016-2069, CVE-2016-2117,     CVE-2016-2384, CVE-2016-2847)

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.
