The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2020-5804 advisory.

  - The VFIO PCI driver in the Linux kernel through 5.6.13 mishandles attempts to access disabled memory     space. (CVE-2020-12888)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel before 5.8-rc1 in the prctl() function, where it can be used to     enable indirect branch speculation after it has been disabled. This call incorrectly reports it as being     'force disabled' when it is not and opens the system to Spectre v2 attacks. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to confidentiality. (CVE-2020-10768)

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/firmware/efi/efi.c in the Linux kernel before 5.4. Incorrect access     permissions for the efivar_ssdt ACPI variable could be used by attackers to bypass lockdown or secure boot     restrictions, aka CID-1957a85b0032. (CVE-2019-20908)

  - A memory leak in the crypto_report() function in crypto/crypto_user_base.c in the Linux kernel through     5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering     crypto_report_alg() failures, aka CID-ffdde5932042. (CVE-2019-19062)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of Userspace core dumps. This flaw allows an     attacker with a local account to crash a trivial program and exfiltrate private kernel data.
    (CVE-2020-10732)

  - drivers/net/wireless/marvell/libertas/if_sdio.c in the Linux kernel 5.2.14 does not check the     alloc_workqueue return value, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. (CVE-2019-16232)

  - drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/pcie/trans.c in the Linux kernel 5.2.14 does not check the     alloc_workqueue return value, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. (CVE-2019-16234)

  - ** DISPUTED ** A memory leak in the unittest_data_add() function in drivers/of/unittest.c in the Linux     kernel before 5.3.10 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering     of_fdt_unflatten_tree() failures, aka CID-e13de8fe0d6a. NOTE: third parties dispute the relevance of this     because unittest.c can only be reached during boot. (CVE-2019-19049)

  - In the Linux kernel 5.0.21, mounting a crafted ext4 filesystem image, performing some operations, and     unmounting can lead to a use-after-free in ext4_put_super in fs/ext4/super.c, related to dump_orphan_list     in fs/ext4/super.c. (CVE-2019-19447)

  - ext4_empty_dir in fs/ext4/namei.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.12 allows a NULL pointer dereference     because ext4_read_dirblock(inode,0,DIRENT_HTREE) can be zero. (CVE-2019-19037)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.6. In rx_queue_add_kobject() and     netdev_queue_add_kobject() in net/core/net-sysfs.c, a reference count is mishandled, aka CID-a3e23f719f5c.
    (CVE-2019-20811)

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 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz),     the core of any Linux operating system. The kernel     handles the basic functions of the operating system:
    memory allocation, process allocation, device input and     output, etc.Security Fix(es):A flaw was found in the     Linux kernel's implementation of the invert video code     on VGA consoles when a local attacker attempts to     resize the console, calling an ioctl VT_RESIZE, which     causes an out-of-bounds write to occur. This flaw     allows a local user with access to the VGA console to     crash the system, potentially escalating their     privileges on the system. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity     as well as system availability.(CVE-2020-14331)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 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 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 Linux kernel before 5.9-rc4. Memory     corruption can be exploited to gain root privileges     from unprivileged processes. The highest threat from     this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and     integrity.(CVE-2020-14386)In the Linux kernel through     5.8.7, local attackers able to inject conntrack netlink     configuration could overflow a local buffer, causing     crashes or triggering use of incorrect protocol numbers     in ctnetlink_parse_tuple_filter in net/ netfilter/     nf_conntrack_netlink.c, aka     CID-1cc5ef91d2ff.(CVE-2020-25211)The VFIO PCI driver in     the Linux kernel through 5.6.13 mishandles attempts to     access disabled memory space.(CVE-2020-12888)The kernel     in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and MRG-2 does not clear     garbage data for SG_IO buffer, which may leaking     sensitive information to userspace.(CVE-2014-8181)A     flaw was found in the Linux kernels SELinux LSM hook     implementation before version 5.7, where it incorrectly     assumed that an skb would only contain a single netlink     message. The hook would incorrectly only validate the     first netlink message in the skb and allow or deny the     rest of the messages within the skb with the granted     permission without further     processing.(CVE-2020-10751)The Linux kernel through     5.7.11 allows remote attackers to make observations     that help to obtain sensitive information about the     internal state of the network RNG, aka     CID-f227e3ec3b5c. This is related to     drivers/char/random.c and     kernel/time/timer.c.(CVE-2020-16166)A buffer over-read     flaw was found in RH kernel versions before 5.0 in     crypto_authenc_extractkeys in crypto/authenc.c in the     IPsec Cryptographic algorithm's module, authenc. When a     payload longer than 4 bytes, and is not following     4-byte alignment boundary guidelines, it causes a     buffer over-read threat, leading to a system crash.
    This flaw allows a local attacker with user privileges     to cause a denial of service.(CVE-2020-10769)In the     Linux kernel through 5.7.6, usbtest_disconnect in     drivers/usb/misc/usbtest.c has a memory leak, aka     CID-28ebeb8db770.(CVE-2020-15393)An issue was     discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.7.1.
    drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c has an integer overflow if     k_ascii is called several times in a row, aka     CID-b86dab054059.(CVE-2020-13974)go7007_snd_init in     drivers/media/usb/go7007/snd-go7007.c in the Linux     kernel before 5.6 does not call snd_card_free for a     failure path, which causes a memory leak, aka     CID-9453264ef586.(CVE-2019-20810)An issue was     discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.6. In     rx_queue_add_kobject() and netdev_queue_add_kobject()     in net/core/ net-sysfs.c, a reference count is     mishandled, aka CID-a3e23f719f5c.(CVE-2019-20811)An     issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.4.7.
    The prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo() function in     net/packet/af_packet.c can result in a denial of     service (CPU consumption and soft lockup) in a certain     failure case involving TPACKET_V3, aka     CID-b43d1f9f7067.(CVE-2019-20812)A flaw was found in     the Linux kernel's implementation of Userspace core     dumps. This flaw allows an attacker with a local     account to crash a trivial program and exfiltrate     private kernel data.(CVE-2020-10732)
