Rocky Linux 9 : kernel-rt (RLSA-2023:1469)
high Nessus Plugin ID 173991
Synopsis
The remote Rocky Linux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The remote Rocky Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2023:1469 advisory.- A flaw was found in the Linux kernel Traffic Control (TC) subsystem. Using a specific networking configuration (redirecting egress packets to ingress using TC action mirred) a local unprivileged user could trigger a CPU soft lockup (ABBA deadlock) when the transport protocol in use (TCP or SCTP) does a retransmission, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2022-4269)
- A double-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TUN/TAP device driver functionality in how a user registers the device when the register_netdevice function fails (NETDEV_REGISTER notifier). This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-4744)
- A use after free vulnerability exists in the ALSA PCM package in the Linux Kernel.
SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_{READ|WRITE}32 is missing locks that can be used in a use-after-free that can result in a priviledge escalation to gain ring0 access from the system user. We recommend upgrading past commit 56b88b50565cd8b946a2d00b0c83927b7ebb055e (CVE-2023-0266)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
