Synopsis

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

Description

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP2 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2021-3347: A use-after-free was discovered in the PI futexes during fault handling, allowing local users to execute code in the kernel (bnc#1181349).

CVE-2021-3348: Fixed a use-after-free in nbd_add_socket that could be triggered by local attackers (with access to the nbd device) via an I/O request at a certain point during device setup (bnc#1181504).

CVE-2021-20177: Fixed a kernel panic related to iptables string matching rules. A privileged user could insert a rule which could lead to denial of service (bnc#1180765).

CVE-2021-0342: In tun_get_user of tun.c, there is possible memory corruption due to a use after free. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges required.
(bnc#1180812)

CVE-2020-27835: A use-after-free in the infiniband hfi1 driver was found, specifically in the way user calls Ioctl after open dev file and fork. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system (bnc#1179878).

CVE-2020-25639: Fixed a NULL pointer dereference via nouveau ioctl (bnc#1176846).

CVE-2020-29569: Fixed a potential privilege escalation and information leaks related to the PV block backend, as used by Xen (bnc#1179509).

CVE-2020-29568: Fixed a denial of service issue, related to processing watch events (bnc#1179508).

CVE-2020-25211: Fixed a flaw where a local attacker was able to inject conntrack netlink configuration that could cause a denial of service or trigger the use of incorrect protocol numbers in ctnetlink_parse_tuple_filter (bnc#1176395).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
