"The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the USN-3208-2 advisory.

  - The sg implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.9 does not properly restrict write operations in
    situations where the KERNEL_DS option is set, which allows local users to read or write to arbitrary
    kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging access to a /dev/sg
    device, related to block/bsg.c and drivers/scsi/sg.c. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an
    incomplete fix for CVE-2016-9576. (CVE-2016-10088)

  - The cgroup offline implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.8.11 mishandles certain drain operations,
    which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) by leveraging access to a container
    environment for executing a crafted application, as demonstrated by trinity. (CVE-2016-9191)

  - arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9 mismanages the #BP and #OF exceptions, which allows
    guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) by declining to handle an exception thrown by
    an L2 guest. (CVE-2016-9588)

  - The load_segment_descriptor implementation in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.5
    improperly emulates a MOV SS, NULL selector instruction, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial
    of service (guest OS crash) or gain guest OS privileges via a crafted application. (CVE-2017-2583)

  - arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.3 allows local users to obtain sensitive
    information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted application
    that leverages instruction emulation for fxrstor, fxsave, sgdt, and sidt. (CVE-2017-2584)

  - The klsi_105_get_line_state function in drivers/usb/serial/kl5kusb105.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.5
    places uninitialized heap-memory contents into a log entry upon a failure to read the line status, which
    allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading the log. (CVE-2017-5549)

  - The dccp_rcv_state_process function in net/dccp/input.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.11 mishandles
    DCCP_PKT_REQUEST packet data structures in the LISTEN state, which allows local users to obtain root
    privileges or cause a denial of service (double free) via an application that makes an IPV6_RECVPKTINFO
    setsockopt system call. (CVE-2017-6074)

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