The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2636-1 advisory.

    Xiong Zhou discovered a bug in the way the EXT4 filesystem handles fallocate zero range functionality when     the page size is greater than the block size. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a denial     of service (system crash). (CVE-2015-0275)

    Wen Xu discovered a use-after-free flaw in the Linux kernel's ipv4 ping support. A local user could     exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) or gain administrative privileges on the     system. (CVE-2015-3636)

    A memory corruption flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's scsi subsystem. A local attacker could     potentially exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2015-4036)

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 SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 kernel was updated to version 3.12.43 to receive various security and bugfixes.

Following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2014-3647: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the KVM     subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 did not     properly perform RIP changes, which allowed guest OS     users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) via     a crafted application (bsc#899192).

  - CVE-2014-8086: Race condition in the     ext4_file_write_iter function in fs/ext4/file.c in the     Linux kernel through 3.17 allowed local users to cause a     denial of service (file unavailability) via a     combination of a write action and an F_SETFL fcntl     operation for the O_DIRECT flag (bsc#900881).

  - CVE-2014-8159: The InfiniBand (IB) implementation did     not properly restrict use of User Verbs for registration     of memory regions, which allowed local users to access     arbitrary physical memory locations, and consequently     cause a denial of service (system crash) or gain     privileges, by leveraging permissions on a uverbs device     under /dev/infiniband/ (bsc#914742).

  - CVE-2015-1465: The IPv4 implementation in the Linux     kernel before 3.18.8 did not properly consider the     length of the Read-Copy Update (RCU) grace period for     redirecting lookups in the absence of caching, which     allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (memory consumption or system crash) via a flood of     packets (bsc#916225).

  - CVE-2015-2041: net/llc/sysctl_net_llc.c in the Linux     kernel before 3.19 used an incorrect data type in a     sysctl table, which allowed local users to obtain     potentially sensitive information from kernel memory or     possibly have unspecified other impact by accessing a     sysctl entry (bsc#919007).

  - CVE-2015-2042: net/rds/sysctl.c in the Linux kernel     before 3.19 used an incorrect data type in a sysctl     table, which allowed local users to obtain potentially     sensitive information from kernel memory or possibly     have unspecified other impact by accessing a sysctl     entry (bsc#919018).

  - CVE-2015-2666: Fixed a flaw that allowed crafted     microcode to overflow the kernel stack (bsc#922944).

  - CVE-2015-2830: Fixed int80 fork from 64-bit tasks     mishandling (bsc#926240).

  - CVE-2015-2922: Fixed possible denial of service (DoS)     attack against IPv6 network stacks due to improper     handling of Router Advertisements (bsc#922583).

  - CVE-2015-3331: Fixed buffer overruns in RFC4106     implementation using AESNI (bsc#927257).

  - CVE-2015-3332: Fixed TCP Fast Open local DoS     (bsc#928135).

  - CVE-2015-3339: Fixed race condition flaw between the     chown() and execve() system calls which could have lead     to local privilege escalation (bsc#928130).

  - CVE-2015-3636: Fixed use-after-free in ping sockets     which could have lead to local privilege escalation     (bsc#929525).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The openSUSE 13.1 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

Following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2016-0728: A reference leak in keyring handling with     join_session_keyring() could lead to local attackers     gain root privileges. (bsc#962075).

  - CVE-2015-7550: A local user could have triggered a race     between read and revoke in keyctl (bnc#958951).

  - CVE-2015-8569: The (1) pptp_bind and (2) pptp_connect     functions in drivers/net/ppp/pptp.c in the Linux kernel     did not verify an address length, which allowed local     users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory     and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism via a crafted     application (bnc#959190).

  - CVE-2015-8543: The networking implementation in the     Linux kernel did not validate protocol identifiers for     certain protocol families, which allowed local users to     cause a denial of service (NULL function pointer     dereference and system crash) or possibly gain     privileges by leveraging CLONE_NEWUSER support to     execute a crafted SOCK_RAW application (bnc#958886).

  - CVE-2014-8989: The Linux kernel did not properly     restrict dropping of supplemental group memberships in     certain namespace scenarios, which allowed local users     to bypass intended file permissions by leveraging a     POSIX ACL containing an entry for the group category     that is more restrictive than the entry for the other     category, aka a 'negative groups' issue, related to     kernel/groups.c, kernel/uid16.c, and     kernel/user_namespace.c (bnc#906545).

  - CVE-2015-5157: arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S in the Linux     kernel on the x86_64 platform mishandles IRET faults in     processing NMIs that occurred during userspace     execution, which might allow local users to gain     privileges by triggering an NMI (bnc#937969).

  - CVE-2015-7799: The slhc_init function in     drivers/net/slip/slhc.c in the Linux kernel through     4.2.3 did not ensure that certain slot numbers are     valid, which allowed local users to cause a denial of     service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via     a crafted PPPIOCSMAXCID ioctl call (bnc#949936).

  - CVE-2015-8104: The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel     through 4.2.6, and Xen 4.3.x through 4.6.x, allowed     guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS     panic or hang) by triggering many #DB (aka Debug)     exceptions, related to svm.c (bnc#954404).

  - CVE-2015-5307: The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel     through 4.2.6, and Xen 4.3.x through 4.6.x, allowed     guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS     panic or hang) by triggering many #AC (aka Alignment     Check) exceptions, related to svm.c and vmx.c     (bnc#953527).

  - CVE-2014-9529: Race condition in the key_gc_unused_keys     function in security/keys/gc.c in the Linux kernel     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory     corruption or panic) or possibly have unspecified other     impact via keyctl commands that trigger access to a key     structure member during garbage collection of a key     (bnc#912202).

  - CVE-2015-7990: Race condition in the rds_sendmsg     function in net/rds/sendmsg.c in the Linux kernel     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL     pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact by using a socket that was not     properly bound. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because     of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-6937 (bnc#952384     953052).

  - CVE-2015-6937: The __rds_conn_create function in     net/rds/connection.c in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and system crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact by using a socket that was not     properly bound (bnc#945825).

  - CVE-2015-7885: The dgnc_mgmt_ioctl function in     drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc_mgmt.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.3.3 did not initialize a certain structure     member, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory via a crafted application     (bnc#951627).

  - CVE-2015-8215: net/ipv6/addrconf.c in the IPv6 stack in     the Linux kernel did not validate attempted changes to     the MTU value, which allowed context-dependent attackers     to cause a denial of service (packet loss) via a value     that is (1) smaller than the minimum compliant value or     (2) larger than the MTU of an interface, as demonstrated     by a Router Advertisement (RA) message that is not     validated by a daemon, a different vulnerability than     CVE-2015-0272. NOTE: the scope of CVE-2015-0272 is     limited to the NetworkManager product (bnc#955354).

  - CVE-2015-8767: A case can occur when sctp_accept() is     called by the user during a heartbeat timeout event     after the 4-way handshake. Since sctp_assoc_migrate()     changes both assoc->base.sk and assoc->ep, the     bh_sock_lock in sctp_generate_heartbeat_event() will be     taken with the listening socket but released with the     new association socket. The result is a deadlock on any     future attempts to take the listening socket lock.
    (bsc#961509)

  - CVE-2015-8575: Validate socket address length in     sco_sock_bind() to prevent information leak     (bsc#959399).

  - CVE-2015-8551, CVE-2015-8552: xen/pciback: For     XEN_PCI_OP_disable_msi[|x] only disable if device has     MSI(X) enabled (bsc#957990).

  - CVE-2015-8550: Compiler optimizations in the XEN PV     backend drivers could have lead to double fetch     vulnerabilities, causing denial of service or arbitrary     code execution (depending on the configuration)     (bsc#957988).
