"The CentOS Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare CENTOS6:CLSA-2026:1789960079 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem. A local user can cause an out-of-bounds write and
    a denial of service or unspecified other impact is possible by mounting and operating a crafted ext4
    filesystem image. (CVE-2018-10878)

  - drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.11 allows ucma_leave_multicast to access a
    certain data structure after a cleanup step in ucma_process_join, which allows attackers to cause a denial
    of service (use-after-free). (CVE-2018-14734)

  - parse_audio_mixer_unit in sound/usb/mixer.c in the Linux kernel through 5.2.9 mishandles a short
    descriptor, leading to out-of-bounds memory access. (CVE-2019-15117)

  - The Linux kernel through 5.3.13 has a start_offset+size Integer Overflow in cpia2_remap_buffer in
    drivers/media/usb/cpia2/cpia2_core.c because cpia2 has its own mmap implementation. This allows local
    users (with /dev/video0 access) to obtain read and write permissions on kernel physical pages, which can
    possibly result in a privilege escalation. (CVE-2019-18675)

  - __btrfs_free_extent in fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.12 calls btrfs_print_leaf in
    a certain ENOENT case, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information about register
    values via the dmesg program. NOTE: The BTRFS development team disputes this issues as not being a
    vulnerability because 1) The kernel provide facilities to restrict access to dmesg - dmesg_restrict=1
    sysctl option. So it's really up to the system administrator to judge whether dmesg access shall be
    disallowed or not. 2) WARN/WARN_ON are widely used macros in the linux kernel. If this CVE is considered
    valid this would mean there are literally thousands CVE lurking in the kernel - something which clearly is
    not the case. (CVE-2019-19039)

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