    "According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the
    EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following
    vulnerabilities :
    
      - It was found that the Linux kernel KVM subsystem's
        sysenter instruction emulation was not sufficient. An
        unprivileged guest user could use this flaw to escalate
        their privileges by tricking the hypervisor to emulate
        a SYSENTER instruction in 16-bit mode, if the guest OS
        did not initialize the SYSENTER model-specific
        registers (MSRs). (CVE-2015-0239)
    
      - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's perf
        subsystem retrieved userlevel stack traces on PowerPC
        systems. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw
        to cause a denial of service on the system by creating
        a special stack layout that would force the
        perf_callchain_user_64() function into an infinite
        loop.(CVE-2015-6526)
    
      - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's ASN.1
        DER decoder processed certain certificate files with
        tags of indefinite length. A local, unprivileged user
        could use a specially crafted X.509 certificate DER
        file to crash the system or, potentially, escalate
        their privileges on the system.(CVE-2016-0758)

    Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues, address
    several hundred bugs, and add numerous enhancements are now available
    as part of the ongoing support and maintenance of Red Hat Enterprise
    Linux version 7. This is the second regular update.
    
    Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important
    security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
    scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each
    vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.
    
    The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
    operating system.
    
    * A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's file system
    implementation handled rename operations in which the source was
    inside and the destination was outside of a bind mount. A privileged
    user inside a container could use this flaw to escape the bind mount
    and, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system.
    (CVE-2015-2925, Important)
    
    * A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's IPC
    subsystem initialized certain fields in an IPC object structure that
    were later used for permission checking before inserting the object
    into a globally visible list. A local, unprivileged user could
    potentially use this flaw to elevate their privileges on the system.
    (CVE-2015-7613, Important)
    
    * It was found that reporting emulation failures to user space could
    lead to either a local (CVE-2014-7842) or a L2->L1 (CVE-2010-5313)
    denial of service. In the case of a local denial of service, an
    attacker must have access to the MMIO area or be able to access an I/O
    port. (CVE-2010-5313, CVE-2014-7842, Moderate)
    
    * A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's KVM subsystem handled
    non-canonical addresses when emulating instructions that change the
    RIP (for example, branches or calls). A guest user with access to an
    I/O or MMIO region could use this flaw to crash the guest.
    (CVE-2014-3647, Moderate)
    
    * It was found that the Linux kernel memory resource controller's
    (memcg) handling of OOM (out of memory) conditions could lead to
    deadlocks. An attacker could use this flaw to lock up the system.
    (CVE-2014-8171, Moderate)
    
    * A race condition flaw was found between the chown and execve system
    calls. A local, unprivileged user could potentially use this flaw to
    escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2015-3339, Moderate)
    
    * A flaw was discovered in the way the Linux kernel's TTY subsystem
    handled the tty shutdown phase. A local, unprivileged user could use
    this flaw to cause a denial of service on the system. (CVE-2015-4170,
    Moderate)
    
    * A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the SCTP
    implementation. A local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of
    service on the system by triggering a kernel panic when creating
    multiple sockets in parallel while the system did not have the SCTP
    module loaded. (CVE-2015-5283, Moderate)
    
    * A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's perf subsystem
    retrieved userlevel stack traces on PowerPC systems. A local,
    unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service on
    the system. (CVE-2015-6526, Moderate)
    
    * A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Crypto subsystem
    handled automatic loading of kernel modules. A local user could use
    this flaw to load any installed kernel module, and thus increase the
    attack surface of the running kernel. (CVE-2013-7421, CVE-2014-9644,
    Low)
    
    * An information leak flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel
    changed certain segment registers and thread-local storage (TLS)
    during a context switch. A local, unprivileged user could use this
    flaw to leak the user space TLS base address of an arbitrary process.
    (CVE-2014-9419, Low)
    
    * It was found that the Linux kernel KVM subsystem's sysenter
    instruction emulation was not sufficient. An unprivileged guest user
    could use this flaw to escalate their privileges by tricking the
    hypervisor to emulate a SYSENTER instruction in 16-bit mode, if the
    guest OS did not initialize the SYSENTER model-specific registers
    (MSRs). Note: Certified guest operating systems for Red Hat Enterprise
    Linux with KVM do initialize the SYSENTER MSRs and are thus not
    vulnerable to this issue when running on a KVM hypervisor.
    (CVE-2015-0239, Low)
    
    * A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled the securelevel
    functionality after performing a kexec operation. A local attacker
    could use this flaw to bypass the security mechanism of the
    securelevel/secureboot combination. (CVE-2015-7837, Low)"

    descriptionAccording to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled IRET faults during the processing of NMIs. An unprivileged, local user could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially (although highly unlikely), escalate their privileges on the system.(CVE-2015-5157) - A denial of service vulnerability was found in the WhiteHEAT USB Serial Driver (whiteheat_attach function in drivers/usb/serial/whiteheat.c). In the driver, the COMMAND_PORT variable was hard coded and set to 4 (5th element). The driver assumed that the number of ports would always be 5 and used port number 5 as the command port. However, when using a USB device in which the number of ports was set to a number less than 5 (for example, 3), the driver triggered a kernel NULL-pointer dereference. A non-privileged attacker could use this flaw to panic the host.(CVE-2015-5257) - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the SCTP implementation. A local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service on the system by triggering a kernel panic when creating multiple sockets in parallel while the system did not have the SCTP module loaded.(CVE-2015-5283) - It was found that the x86 ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) is prone to a denial of service attack inside a virtualized environment in the form of an infinite loop in the microcode due to the way (sequential) delivering of benign exceptions such as #AC (alignment check exception) is handled. A privileged user inside a guest could use this flaw to create denial of service conditions on the host kernel.(CVE-2015-5307) - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel

    EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by
    the following vulnerabilities :
    
      - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled
        IRET faults during the processing of NMIs. An
        unprivileged, local user could use this flaw to crash
        the system or, potentially (although highly unlikely),
        escalate their privileges on the system.(CVE-2015-5157)
    
      - A denial of service vulnerability was found in the
        WhiteHEAT USB Serial Driver (whiteheat_attach function
        in drivers/usb/serial/whiteheat.c). In the driver, the
        COMMAND_PORT variable was hard coded and set to 4 (5th
        element). The driver assumed that the number of ports
        would always be 5 and used port number 5 as the command
        port. However, when using a USB device in which the
        number of ports was set to a number less than 5 (for
        example, 3), the driver triggered a kernel NULL-pointer
        dereference. A non-privileged attacker could use this
        flaw to panic the host.(CVE-2015-5257)
    
      - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the SCTP
        implementation. A local user could use this flaw to
        cause a denial of service on the system by triggering a
        kernel panic when creating multiple sockets in parallel
        while the system did not have the SCTP module
        loaded.(CVE-2015-5283)
    
      - It was found that the x86 ISA (Instruction Set
        Architecture) is prone to a denial of service attack
        inside a virtualized environment in the form of an
        infinite loop in the microcode due to the way
        (sequential) delivering of benign exceptions such as
        #AC (alignment check exception) is handled. A
        privileged user inside a guest could use this flaw to
        create denial of service conditions on the host
        kernel.(CVE-2015-5307)
    
      - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's
        networking implementation handled UDP packets with
        incorrect checksum values. A remote attacker could
        potentially use this flaw to trigger an infinite loop
        in the kernel, resulting in a denial of service on the
        system, or cause a denial of service in applications
        using the edge triggered epoll
        functionality.(CVE-2015-5364)
    
      - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's
        networking implementation handled UDP packets with
        incorrect checksum values. A remote attacker could
        potentially use this flaw to trigger an infinite loop
        in the kernel, resulting in a denial of service on the
        system, or cause a denial of service in applications
        using the edge triggered epoll
        functionality.(CVE-2015-5366)
    
      - A cross-boundary flaw was discovered in the Linux
        kernel software raid driver. The driver accessed a
        disabled bitmap where only the first byte of the buffer
        was initialized to zero. This meant that the rest of
        the request (up to 4095 bytes) was left and copied into
        user space. An attacker could use this flaw to read
        private information from user space that would not
        otherwise have been accessible.(CVE-2015-5697)
    
      - An integer-overflow vulnerability was found in the scsi
        block-request handling code in function start_req(). A
        local attacker could use specially crafted IOV requests
        to overflow a counter used in bio_map_user_iov()'s page
        calculation, and write past the end of the array that
        contains kernel-page pointers.(CVE-2015-5707)
    
      - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's vhost
        driver treated userspace provided log file descriptor
        when processing the VHOST_SET_LOG_FD ioctl command. The
        file descriptor was never released and continued to
        consume kernel memory. A privileged local user with
        access to the /dev/vhost-net files could use this flaw
        to create a denial-of-service attack.(CVE-2015-6252)
    
      - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's perf
        subsystem retrieved userlevel stack traces on PowerPC
        systems. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw
        to cause a denial of service on the system by creating
        a special stack layout that would force the
        perf_callchain_user_64() function into an infinite
        loop.(CVE-2015-6526)
    
      - A NULL-pointer dereference vulnerability was discovered
        in the Linux kernel. The kernel's Reliable Datagram
        Sockets (RDS) protocol implementation did not verify
        that an underlying transport existed before creating a
        connection to a remote server. A local system user
        could exploit this flaw to crash the system by creating
        sockets at specific times to trigger a NULL pointer
        dereference.(CVE-2015-6937)
    
      - Multiple race conditions in the Advanced Union
        Filesystem (aufs) aufs3-mmap.patch and aufs4-mmap.patch
        patches for the Linux kernel 3.x and 4.x allow local
        users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and
        BUG) or possibly gain privileges via a (1) madvise or
        (2) msync system call, related to mm/madvise.c and
        mm/msync.c.(CVE-2015-7312)
    
      - A divide-by-zero flaw was discovered in the Linux
        kernel built with KVM virtualization
        support(CONFIG_KVM). The flaw occurs in the KVM
        module's Programmable Interval Timer(PIT) emulation,
        when PIT counters for channel 1 or 2 are set to zero(0)
        and a privileged user inside the guest attempts to read
        these counters. A privileged guest user with access to
        PIT I/O ports could exploit this issue to crash the
        host kernel (denial of service).(CVE-2015-7513)
    
      - An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the
        Linux kernel's aiptek USB tablet driver (aiptek_probe()
        function in drivers/input/tablet/aiptek.c). The driver
        assumed that the interface always had at least one
        endpoint. By using a specially crafted USB device with
        no endpoints on one of its interfaces, an unprivileged
        user with physical access to the system could trigger a
        kernel NULL pointer dereference, causing the system to
        panic.(CVE-2015-7515)
    
      - A NULL-pointer dereference flaw was found in the
        kernel, which is caused by a race between revoking a
        user-type key and reading from it. The issue could be
        triggered by an unprivileged user with a local account,
        causing the kernel to crash (denial of
        service).(CVE-2015-7550)
    
      - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel visor
        driver handles certain invalid USB device descriptors.
        The driver assumes that the device always has at least
        one bulk OUT endpoint. By using a specially crafted USB
        device (without a bulk OUT endpoint), an unprivileged
        user with physical access could trigger a kernel
        NULL-pointer dereference and cause a system panic
        (denial of service).(CVE-2015-7566)
    
      - A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux
        kernel's IPC subsystem initialized certain fields in an
        IPC object structure that were later used for
        permission checking before inserting the object into a
        globally visible list. A local, unprivileged user could
        potentially use this flaw to elevate their privileges
        on the system.(CVE-2015-7613)
    
      - A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel where issuing
        certain ioctl() -s commands to the '/dev/ppp' device
        file could lead to a NULL pointer dereference. A
        privileged user could use this flaw to cause a kernel
        crash and denial of service.(CVE-2015-7799)
    
      - It was found that the Linux kernel's keys subsystem did
        not correctly garbage collect uninstantiated keyrings.
        A local attacker could use this flaw to crash the
        system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on
        the system.(CVE-2015-7872)
    
      - A denial of service flaw was discovered in the Linux
        kernel, where a race condition caused a NULL pointer
        dereference in the RDS socket-creation code. A local
        attacker could use this flaw to create a situation in
        which a NULL pointer crashed the kernel.(CVE-2015-7990)
    
      - It was found that the x86 ISA (Instruction Set
        Architecture) is prone to a denial of service attack
        inside a virtualized environment in the form of an
        infinite loop in the microcode due to the way
        (sequential) delivering of benign exceptions such as
        #DB (debug exception) is handled. A privileged user
        inside a guest could use this flaw to create denial of
        service conditions on the host kernel.(CVE-2015-8104)
    
      - It was found that the Linux kernel's IPv6 network stack
        did not properly validate the value of the MTU variable
        when it was set. A remote attacker could potentially
        use this flaw to disrupt a target system's networking
        (packet loss) by setting an invalid MTU value, for
        example, via a NetworkManager daemon that is processing
        router advertisement packets running on the target
        system.(CVE-2015-8215)
