high Nessus Plugin ID 177494

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for kernel-rt.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:3708 advisory.

The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements.

Security Fix(es):

* kernel: use-after-free vulnerability in the perf_group_detach function of the Linux Kernel Performance Events (CVE-2023-2235)

* kernel: netfilter: use-after-free in nf_tables when processing batch requests can lead to privilege escalation (CVE-2023-32233)

* Kernel: bluetooth: Unauthorized management command execution (CVE-2023-2002)

* kernel: OOB access in the Linux kernel's XFS subsystem (CVE-2023-2124)

* kernel: i2c: out-of-bounds write in xgene_slimpro_i2c_xfer() (CVE-2023-2194)

* kernel: tls: race condition in do_tls_getsockopt may lead to use-after-free or NULL pointer dereference (CVE-2023-28466)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Bug Fix(es):

* [RT] Single Node Openshift cluster becomes unreachable after running less than 2 hours (BZ#2186853)

* kernel-rt: update RT source tree to the latest RHEL-9.2.z1 Batch (BZ#2188313)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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 RHEL kernel-rt package based on the guidance in RHSA-2023:3708.
