Oracle Linux 6 / 7 : Unbreakable Enterprise kernel (ELSA-2019-4729)

The remote Oracle Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2019-4729 advisory. - USB: check usbgetextradescriptor for proper size Mathias Payer Orabug: 29755247 CVE-2018-20169 - ext4: zero out the unused memory region in the...

The vulnerability of the __usb_get_extra_descriptor function in the USB subsystem of Linux kernel systems allows attackers to compromise the confidentiality and integrity of the protected information.

The vulnerability of the usbgetextradescriptor function in the USB subsystem’s driver code drivers/usb/core/usb.c in Linux kernels is related to errors in reading the additional descriptor. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to compromise the confidentiality and integrity of th...
