Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.156-102.160. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.15-2024-049 advisory.

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

net: dsa: fix panic when DSA master device unbinds on shutdown (CVE-2022-48808)

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

nfsd: fix RELEASE_LOCKOWNER (CVE-2024-26629)

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

netfilter: nf_tables: disallow anonymous set with timeout flag (CVE-2024-26642)

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

netfilter: nf_tables: mark set as dead when unbinding anonymous set with timeout (CVE-2024-26643)

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

xen/events: close evtchn after mapping cleanup (CVE-2024-26687)

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

vfio/pci: Lock external INTx masking ops (CVE-2024-26810)

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

vfio/pci: Create persistent INTx handler (CVE-2024-26812)

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

af_unix: Fix garbage collector racing against connect() (CVE-2024-26923)

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

netfilter: nf_tables: release mutex after nft_gc_seq_end from abort path

The commit mutex should not be released during the critical sectionbetween nft_gc_seq_begin() and nft_gc_seq_end(), otherwise, async GCworker could collect expired objects and get the released commit lockwithin the same GC sequence.

nf_tables_module_autoload() temporarily releases the mutex to loadmodule dependencies, then it goes back to replay the transaction again.Move it at the end of the abort phase after nft_gc_seq_end() is called.
