The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has kernel packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

  • An out-of-bounds memory write flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s joystick devices subsystem in versions before 5.9-rc1, in the way the user calls ioctl JSIOCSBTNMAP. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or possibly escalate their privileges on the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-3612)

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