Synopsis
The remote Oracle Linux host is missing one or more security updates.
Description
The remote Oracle Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2022-9088 advisory.
- Improper access control in BlueZ may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via adjacent access. (CVE-2021-0129)
- A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth subsystem in the way user calls connect to the socket and disconnect simultaneously due to a race condition. This flaw allows a user to crash the system or escalate their privileges. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to conf (CVE-2021-3752)
- A race problem was seen in the vt_k_ioctl in drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c in the Linux kernel, which may cause an out of bounds read in vt as the write access to vc_mode is not protected by lock-in vt_ioctl (KDSETMDE). The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality. (CVE-2021-3753)
- kernel: In Overlayfs missing a check for a negative dentry before calling vfs_rename() (CVE-2021-20321)
- In ep_loop_check_proc of eventpoll.c, there is a possible way to corrupt memory due to a use after free. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID: A-204573007References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2021-1048)
- kernel: xfs: raw block device data leak in XFS_IOC_ALLOCSP IOCTL (CVE-2021-4155)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Update the affected packages.

How to Run
Here is how to run the Oracle Linux 6 / 7 : Unbreakable Enterprise kernel (ELSA-2022-9088) as a standalone plugin via the Nessus web user interface (https://localhost:8834/):
- Click to start a New Scan.
- Select Advanced Scan.
- Navigate to the Plugins tab.
- On the top right corner click to Disable All plugins.
- On the left side table select Oracle Linux Local Security Checks plugin family.
- On the right side table select Oracle Linux 6 / 7 : Unbreakable Enterprise kernel (ELSA-2022-9088) plugin ID 157291.
- Specify the target on the Settings tab and click to Save the scan.
- Run the scan.
Here are a few examples of how to run the plugin in the command line. Note that the examples below demonstrate the usage on the Linux / Unix platform.
Basic usage:
/opt/nessus/bin/nasl oraclelinux_ELSA-2022-9088.nasl -t <IP/HOST>
Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:
/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a oraclelinux_ELSA-2022-9088.nasl -t <IP/HOST>
Run the plugin with trace script execution written to the console (useful for debugging):
/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - oraclelinux_ELSA-2022-9088.nasl -t <IP/HOST>
Run the plugin with using a state file for the target and updating it (useful for running multiple plugins on the target):
/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -K /tmp/state oraclelinux_ELSA-2022-9088.nasl -t <IP/HOST>
Go back to menu.
