CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: hyperv-daemons (CVE-2024-26951)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 206362

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of hyperv-daemons installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-26951 advisory.

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wireguard: netlink: check for dangling peer via is_dead instead of empty list If all peers are removed via wg_peer_remove_all(), rather than setting peer_list to empty, the peer is added to a temporary list with a head on the stack of wg_peer_remove_all(). If a netlink dump is resumed and the cursored peer is one that has been removed via wg_peer_remove_all(), it will iterate from that peer and then attempt to dump freed peers. Fix this by instead checking peer->is_dead, which was explictly created for this purpose. Also move up the device_update_lock lockdep assertion, since reading is_dead relies on that. It can be reproduced by a small script like: echo Setting config... ip link add dev wg0 type wireguard wg setconf wg0 /big-config ( while true; do echo Showing config... wg showconf wg0 > /dev/null done ) & sleep 4 wg setconf wg0 <(printf [Peer]\nPublicKey=$(wg genkey)\n) Resulting in: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in
