"The CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare CENTOS7:CLSA-2025:1759431860 advisory.
- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: watchdog: Fix possible use-after-free
by calling del_timer_sync() This driver's remove path calls del_timer(). However, that function does not
wait until the timer handler finishes. This means that the timer handler may still be running after the
driver's remove function has finished, which would result in a use-after-free. Fix by calling
del_timer_sync(), which makes sure the timer handler has finished, and unable to re-schedule itself.
(CVE-2021-47321)
- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: virtio-net: Add validation for used
length This adds validation for used length (might come from an untrusted device) to avoid data corruption
or loss. (CVE-2021-47352)
- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvmem: Fix shift-out-of-bound (UBSAN)
with byte size cells If a cell has 'nbits' equal to a multiple of BITS_PER_BYTE the logic *p &=
GENMASK((cell->nbits%BITS_PER_BYTE) - 1, 0); will become undefined behavior because nbits modulo
BITS_PER_BYTE is 0, and we subtract one from that making a large number that is then shifted more than the
number of bits that fit into an unsigned long. UBSAN reports this problem: UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in
drivers/nvmem/core.c:1386:8 shift exponent 64 is too large for 64-bit type 'unsigned long' CPU: 6 PID: 7

Fix it by making sure there are any bits to mask out. (CVE-2021-47497)
- Linux PV device frontends vulnerable to attacks by backends T[his CNA information record relates to
multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.] Several Linux PV
device frontends are using the grant table interfaces for removing access rights of the backends in ways
being subject to race conditions, resulting in potential data leaks, data corruption by malicious
backends, and denial of service triggered by malicious backends: blkfront, netfront, scsifront and the
gntalloc driver are testing whether a grant reference is still in use. If this is not the case, they
assume that a following removal of the granted access will always succeed, which is not true in case the
backend has mapped the granted page between those two operations. As a result the backend can keep access
to the memory page of the guest no matter how the page will be used after the frontend I/O has finished.
The xenbus driver has a similar problem, as it doesn't check the success of removing the granted access of
a shared ring buffer. blkfront: CVE-2022-23036 netfront: CVE-2022-23037 scsifront: CVE-2022-23038
gntalloc: CVE-2022-23039 xenbus: CVE-2022-23040 blkfront, netfront, scsifront, usbfront, dmabuf, xenbus,
9p, kbdfront, and pvcalls are using a functionality to delay freeing a grant reference until it is no
longer in use, but the freeing of the related data page is not synchronized with dropping the granted
access. As a result the backend can keep access to the memory page even after it has been freed and then
re-used for a different purpose. CVE-2022-23041 netfront will fail a BUG_ON() assertion if it fails to
revoke access in the rx path. This will result in a Denial of Service (DoS) situation of the guest which
can be triggered by the backend. CVE-2022-23042 (CVE-2022-23037, CVE-2022-23038, CVE-2022-23039)
- An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.9. drivers/media/dvb-core/dvbdev.c has a use-
after-free, related to dvb_register_device dynamically allocating fops. (CVE-2022-45884)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
