The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/i2c/i2c-core-smbus.c in the Linux kernel before 4.14.15. There is an     out of bounds write in the function i2c_smbus_xfer_emulated. (CVE-2017-18551)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.5. There is a use-after-free issue when     hci_uart_register_dev() fails in hci_uart_set_proto() in drivers/bluetooth/hci_ldisc.c. (CVE-2019-15917)

  - base_sock_create in drivers/isdn/mISDN/socket.c in the AF_ISDN network module in the Linux kernel through     5.3.2 does not enforce CAP_NET_RAW, which means that unprivileged users can create a raw socket, aka     CID-b91ee4aa2a21. (CVE-2019-17055)

  - A memory leak in the ccp_run_sha_cmd() function in drivers/crypto/ccp/ccp-ops.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.3.9 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption), aka CID-128c66429247.
    (CVE-2019-18808)

  - ** DISPUTED ** A memory leak in the __ipmi_bmc_register() function in drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c     in the Linux kernel through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by     triggering ida_simple_get() failure, aka CID-4aa7afb0ee20. NOTE: third parties dispute the relevance of     this because an attacker cannot realistically control this failure at probe time. (CVE-2019-19046)

  - ** DISPUTED ** A memory leak in the nl80211_get_ftm_responder_stats() function in net/wireless/nl80211.c     in the Linux kernel through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by     triggering nl80211hdr_put() failures, aka CID-1399c59fa929. NOTE: third parties dispute the relevance of     this because it occurs on a code path where a successful allocation has already occurred. (CVE-2019-19055)

  - An out-of-bounds memory write issue was found in the Linux Kernel, version 3.13 through 5.4, in the way     the Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor handled the 'KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID' ioctl(2) request to get CPUID     features emulated by the KVM hypervisor. A user or process able to access the '/dev/kvm' device could use     this flaw to crash the system, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2019-19332)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.3.7, there is a use-after-free bug that can be caused by a malicious USB     device in the drivers/usb/misc/adutux.c driver, aka CID-44efc269db79. (CVE-2019-19523)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.3.12, there is a use-after-free bug that can be caused by a malicious USB     device in the drivers/input/ff-memless.c driver, aka CID-fa3a5a1880c9. (CVE-2019-19524)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.2.10, there is a use-after-free bug that can be caused by a malicious USB     device in the drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c driver, aka CID-c52873e5a1ef. (CVE-2019-19530)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.3.11, there is an info-leak bug that can be caused by a malicious USB device     in the drivers/net/can/usb/peak_usb/pcan_usb_core.c driver, aka CID-f7a1337f0d29. (CVE-2019-19534)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.2.10, there is a race condition bug that can be caused by a malicious USB     device in the USB character device driver layer, aka CID-303911cfc5b9. This affects     drivers/usb/core/file.c. (CVE-2019-19537)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.3.11, sound/core/timer.c has a use-after-free caused by erroneous code     refactoring, aka CID-e7af6307a8a5. This is related to snd_timer_open and snd_timer_close_locked. The     timeri variable was originally intended to be for a newly created timer instance, but was used for a     different purpose after refactoring. (CVE-2019-19807)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.4.12, drivers/input/input.c has out-of-bounds writes via a crafted keycode     table, as demonstrated by input_set_keycode, aka CID-cb222aed03d7. (CVE-2019-20636)

  - In the Android kernel in i2c driver there is a possible out of bounds write due to memory corruption. This     could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is     not needed for exploitation. (CVE-2019-9454)

  - In the Android kernel in the video driver there is a use after free due to a race condition. This could     lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is     not needed for exploitation. (CVE-2019-9458)

  - 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)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. An index buffer overflow during Direct IO write leading to the NFS     client to crash. In some cases, a reach out of the index after one memory allocation by kmalloc will cause     a kernel panic. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and system     availability. (CVE-2020-10742)

  - 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)

  - ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.6.2. mpol_parse_str in mm/mempolicy.c     has a stack-based out-of-bounds write because an empty nodelist is mishandled during mount option parsing,     aka CID-aa9f7d5172fa. NOTE: Someone in the security community disagrees that this is a vulnerability     because the issue is a bug in parsing mount options which can only be specified by a privileged user, so     triggering the bug does not grant any powers not already held.. (CVE-2020-11565)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.6.11. sg_write lacks an sg_remove_request call in a     certain failure case, aka CID-83c6f2390040. (CVE-2020-12770)

  - An out-of-bounds memory write flaw was found in how the Linux kernel's Voice Over IP H.323 connection     tracking functionality handled connections on ipv6 port 1720. This flaw allows an unauthenticated remote     user to crash the system, causing a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-14305)

  - 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 flaw was discovered in the way that the KVM hypervisor handled instruction emulation for an L2 guest     when nested virtualisation is enabled. Under some circumstances, an L2 guest may trick the L0 guest into     accessing sensitive L1 resources that should be inaccessible to the L2 guest. (CVE-2020-2732)

  - There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel through 5.5.2 in the vc_do_resize function in     drivers/tty/vt/vt.c. (CVE-2020-8647)

  - There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel through 5.5.2 in the vgacon_invert_region     function in drivers/video/console/vgacon.c. (CVE-2020-8649)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 3.16 through 5.5.6. set_fdc in drivers/block/floppy.c leads to     a wait_til_ready out-of-bounds read because the FDC index is not checked for errors before assigning it,     aka CID-2e90ca68b0d2. (CVE-2020-9383)
