    A local attacker could use this to obtain sensitive address information. (CVE-2017-9150)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3360-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly initialize a Wake- on-Lan data structure. A local     attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2014-9900)

    It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly restrict access to /proc/iomem. A local attacker     could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2015-8944)

    It was discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the performance events and counters     subsystem of the Linux kernel for ARM64. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service     (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-8955)

    It was discovered that the SCSI generic (sg) driver in the Linux kernel contained a double-free     vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
    (CVE-2015-8962)

    Sasha Levin discovered that a race condition existed in the performance events and counters subsystem of     the Linux kernel when handling CPU unplug events. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-8963)

    Tilman Schmidt and Sasha Levin discovered a use-after-free condition in the TTY implementation in the     Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory).
    (CVE-2015-8964)

    It was discovered that the fcntl64() system call in the Linux kernel did not properly set memory limits     when returning on 32-bit ARM processors. A local attacker could use this to gain administrative     privileges. (CVE-2015-8966)

    It was discovered that the system call table for ARM 64-bit processors in the Linux kernel was not write-     protected. An attacker could use this in conjunction with another kernel vulnerability to execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-8967)

    It was discovered that the generic SCSI block layer in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict write     operations in certain situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash) or possibly gain administrative privileges. (CVE-2016-10088)

    Alexander Potapenko discovered a race condition in the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) subsystem     in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory).
    (CVE-2017-1000380)

    Li Qiang discovered that the DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPUs in the Linux kernel did not properly     validate some ioctl arguments. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash). (CVE-2017-7346)

    Tuomas Haanp and Ari Kauppi discovered that the NFSv2 and NFSv3 server implementations in the Linux     kernel did not properly check for the end of buffer. A remote attacker could use this to craft requests     that cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7895)

    It was discovered that an integer underflow existed in the Edgeport USB Serial Converter device driver of     the Linux kernel. An attacker with physical access could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel     memory). (CVE-2017-8924)

    It was discovered that the USB ZyXEL omni.net LCD PLUS driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform     reference counting. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (tty exhaustion).
    (CVE-2017-8925)

    Murray McAllister discovered that the DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPUs in the Linux kernel did not     properly initialize memory. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel     memory). (CVE-2017-9605)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl function (accessible via DRM_IOCTL_VMW_GB_SURFACE_CREATE) in     drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_surface.c in the Linux kernel through 4.11.4 defines a backup_handle     variable but does not give it an initial value. If one attempts to create a GB surface, with a previously     allocated DMA buffer to be used as a backup buffer, the backup_handle variable does not get written to and     is then later returned to user space, allowing local users to obtain sensitive information from     uninitialized kernel memory via a crafted ioctl call. (CVE-2017-9605)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
