The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5391-1 advisory.

  • The CIL compiler in SELinux 3.2 has a use-after-free in __cil_verify_classperms (called from
    __cil_verify_classpermission and __cil_pre_verify_helper). (CVE-2021-36084)

  • The CIL compiler in SELinux 3.2 has a use-after-free in __cil_verify_classperms (called from
    __verify_map_perm_classperms and hashtab_map). (CVE-2021-36085)

  • The CIL compiler in SELinux 3.2 has a use-after-free in cil_reset_classpermission (called from cil_reset_classperms_set and cil_reset_classperms_list). (CVE-2021-36086)

  • The CIL compiler in SELinux 3.2 has a heap-based buffer over-read in ebitmap_match_any (called indirectly from cil_check_neverallow). This occurs because there is sometimes a lack of checks for invalid statements in an optional block. (CVE-2021-36087)

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