Synopsis

The remote CentOS host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote CentOS Linux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the CESA-2022:0825 advisory.

- kernel: Use After Free in unix_gc() which could result in a local privilege escalation (CVE-2021-0920)

- kernel: local privilege escalation by exploiting the fsconfig syscall parameter leads to container breakout (CVE-2021-4154)

- kernel: possible privileges escalation due to missing TLB flush (CVE-2022-0330)

- kernel: remote stack overflow via kernel panic on systems using TIPC may lead to DoS (CVE-2022-0435)

- kernel: cgroups v1 release_agent feature may allow privilege escalation (CVE-2022-0492)

- kernel: missing check in ioctl allows kernel memory read/write (CVE-2022-0516)

- kernel: improper initialization of the flags member of the new pipe_buffer (CVE-2022-0847)

- kernel: failing usercopy allows for use-after-free exploitation (CVE-2022-22942)

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

Solution

Update the affected kernel package.

Before running any exploit against any system, make sure you are authorized by the owner of the target system(s) to perform such activity. In any other case, this would be considered as an illegal activity.

WARNING: Beware of using unverified exploits from sources such as GitHub or Exploit-DB. These exploits and PoCs could contain malware. For more information, see how to use exploits safely.

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 centos8_RHSA-2022-0825.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a centos8_RHSA-2022-0825.nasl -t <IP/HOST>
