In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf/core: Fix unconditional security_locked_down() call Currently, the lockdown state is queried unconditionally, even though its result is used only if the PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR bit is set in attr.sample_type. While that doesn't matter in case of the Lockdown LSM, it causes trouble with the SELinux's lockdown hook implementation. SELinux implements the locked_down hook with a check whether the current task's type has the corresponding "lockdown" class permission ("integrity" or "confidentiality") allowed in the policy. This means that calling the hook when the access control decision would be ignored generates a bogus permission check and audit record. Fix this by checking sample_type first and only calling the hook when its result would be honored.

    A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFC LLCP protocol implementation in the way the user     performs manipulation with an unknown input for the llcp_sock_bind() function. This flaw allows a local     user to crash or escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2020-25670)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFC LLCP protocol implementation in the way the user     triggers the llcp_sock_connect() function. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system.
    (CVE-2020-25671)

    A memory leak in the Linux kernel's NFC LLCP protocol implementation was found in the way a user triggers     the llcp_sock_connect() function. This flaw allows a local user to starve the resources, causing a denial     of service. (CVE-2020-25672)

    A vulnerability was found in Linux kernel where non-blocking socket in llcp_sock_connect() leads to leak     and eventually hanging-up the system. (CVE-2020-25673)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SCTP socket functionality that triggers a race     condition. This flaw allows a local user to escalate their privileges on the system. The highest threat     from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-23133)

    A vulnerability was discovered in retrieve_ptr_limit in kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel     mechanism to mitigate speculatively out-of-bounds loads (Spectre mitigation). In this flaw a local,     special user privileged (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) BPF program running on affected systems may bypass the protection,     and execute speculatively out-of-bounds loads from the kernel memory. This can be abused to extract     contents of kernel memory via side-channel. (CVE-2021-29155)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's eBPF verification code. By default, accessing the eBPF verifier is     only accessible to privileged users with CAP_SYS_ADMIN. This flaw allows a local user who can insert eBPF     instructions, to use the eBPF verifier to abuse a spectre-like flaw and infer all system memory. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality. (CVE-2021-31829)

    The eBPF RINGBUF bpf_ringbuf_reserve() function in the Linux kernel did not check that the allocated size     was smaller than the ringbuf size, allowing an attacker to perform out-of-bounds writes within the kernel     and therefore, arbitrary code execution. This issue was fixed via commit 4b81ccebaeee (bpf, ringbuf: Deny     reserve of buffers larger than ringbuf) (v5.13-rc4) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4,     v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. It was introduced via 457f44363a88 (bpf: Implement BPF ring buffer and verifier     support for it) (v5.8-rc1). (CVE-2021-3489)

    The eBPF ALU32 bounds tracking for bitwise ops (AND, OR and XOR) in the Linux kernel did not properly     update 32-bit bounds, which could be turned into out of bounds reads and writes in the Linux kernel and     therefore, arbitrary code execution. This issue was fixed via commit 049c4e13714e (bpf: Fix alu32 const     subreg bound tracking on bitwise operations) (v5.13-rc4) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4,     v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. The AND/OR issues were introduced by commit 3f50f132d840 (bpf: Verifier, do     explicit ALU32 bounds tracking) (5.7-rc1) and the XOR variant was introduced by 2921c90d4718 (bpf:Fix a     verifier failure with xor) ( 5.10-rc1). (CVE-2021-3490)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel.  The io_uring PROVIDE_BUFFERS operation allowed the MAX_RW_COUNT     limit to be bypassed, which led to negative values being used in mem_rw when reading /proc/<PID>/mem. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system     availability. (CVE-2021-3491)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in versions before 5.12. The value of internal.ndata, in the KVM API,     is mapped to an array index, which can be updated by a user process at anytime which could lead to an out-     of-bounds write. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data integrity and system availability.
    (CVE-2021-3501)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    net: hso: fix null-ptr-deref during tty device unregistration

    Multiple ttys try to claim the same the minor number causing a doubleunregistration of the same device.
    The first unregistration succeedsbut the next one results in a null-ptr-deref.

    The get_free_serial_index() function returns an available minor numberbut doesn't assign it immediately.
    The assignment is done by the callerlater. But before this assignment, calls to     get_free_serial_index()would return the same minor number.

    Fix this by modifying get_free_serial_index to assign the minor numberimmediately after one is found to be     and rename it to obtain_minor()to better reflect what it does. Similary, rename set_serial_by_index()to     release_minor() and modify it to free up the minor number of thegiven hso_serial. Every obtain_minor()     should have correspondingrelease_minor() call. (CVE-2021-46904)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    net: hso: fix NULL-deref on disconnect regression

    Commit 8a12f8836145 (net: hso: fix null-ptr-deref during tty deviceunregistration) fixed the racy minor     allocation reported by syzbot, butintroduced an unconditional NULL-pointer dereference on every     disconnectinstead.

    Specifically, the serial device table must no longer be accessed afterthe minor has been released by     hso_serial_tty_unregister(). (CVE-2021-46905)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    bpf: Use correct permission flag for mixed signed bounds arithmetic

    We forbid adding unknown scalars with mixed signed bounds due to thespectre v1 masking mitigation. Hence     this also needs bypass_spec_v1flag instead of allow_ptr_leaks. (CVE-2021-46908)

    2024-03-13: CVE-2021-46905 was added to this advisory.

    A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFC LLCP protocol implementation in the way the user     performs manipulation with an unknown input for the llcp_sock_bind() function. This flaw allows a local     user to crash or escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2020-25670)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFC LLCP protocol implementation in the way the user     triggers the llcp_sock_connect() function. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system.
    (CVE-2020-25671)

    A memory leak in the Linux kernel's NFC LLCP protocol implementation was found in the way a user triggers     the llcp_sock_connect() function. This flaw allows a local user to starve the resources, causing a denial     of service. (CVE-2020-25672)

    A vulnerability was found in Linux kernel where non-blocking socket in llcp_sock_connect() leads to leak     and eventually hanging-up the system. (CVE-2020-25673)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SCTP socket functionality that triggers a race     condition. This flaw allows a local user to escalate their privileges on the system. The highest threat     from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-23133)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernels eBPF implementation. By default, accessing the eBPF verifier is only     accessible to privileged users with CAP_SYS_ADMIN.   A local user with the ability to insert eBPF     instructions can abuse a flaw in eBPF to corrupt memory. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-29154)

    A vulnerability was discovered in retrieve_ptr_limit in kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel     mechanism to mitigate speculatively out-of-bounds loads (Spectre mitigation). In this flaw a local,     special user privileged (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) BPF program running on affected systems may bypass the protection,     and execute speculatively out-of-bounds loads from the kernel memory. This can be abused to extract     contents of kernel memory via side-channel. (CVE-2021-29155)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's eBPF verification code. By default, accessing the eBPF verifier is     only accessible to privileged users with CAP_SYS_ADMIN. This flaw allows a local user who can insert eBPF     instructions, to use the eBPF verifier to abuse a spectre-like flaw and infer all system memory. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality. (CVE-2021-31829)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    net: hso: fix null-ptr-deref during tty device unregistration

    Multiple ttys try to claim the same the minor number causing a doubleunregistration of the same device.
    The first unregistration succeedsbut the next one results in a null-ptr-deref.

    The get_free_serial_index() function returns an available minor numberbut doesn't assign it immediately.
    The assignment is done by the callerlater. But before this assignment, calls to     get_free_serial_index()would return the same minor number.

    Fix this by modifying get_free_serial_index to assign the minor numberimmediately after one is found to be     and rename it to obtain_minor()to better reflect what it does. Similary, rename set_serial_by_index()to     release_minor() and modify it to free up the minor number of thegiven hso_serial. Every obtain_minor()     should have correspondingrelease_minor() call. (CVE-2021-46904)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
