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

  • In the Linux kernel before 4.13.5, a local user could create keyrings for other users via keyctl commands, setting unwanted defaults or causing a denial of service.(CVE-2017-18270)

  • DISPUTED Linux Kernel version 3.18 to 4.16 incorrectly handles an SG_IO ioctl on /dev/sg0 with dxfer_direction=SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV and an empty 6-byte cmdp. This may lead to copying up to 1000 kernel heap pages to the userspace. This has been fixed upstream in https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/a45b599ad808c3 c982fdcdc12b0b8611c2f92824 already. The problem has limited scope, as users don’t usually have permissions to access SCSI devices. On the other hand, e.g. the Nero user manual suggests doing chmod o+r+w /dev/sg* to make the devices accessible.(CVE-2018-1000204)

  • A flaw was found affecting the Linux kernel before version 4.17. 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/pid/cmdline (or /proc/pid/environ) files to block indefinitely (denial of service) or for some controlled time (as a synchronization primitive for other attacks).(CVE-2018-1120)

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.
