CentOS 7 : kpatch-patch (RHSA-2022:5216)

high Nessus Plugin ID 208562

Synopsis

The remote CentOS Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2022:5216 advisory.

- Rejected reason: DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: CVE-2022-32250. Reason: This candidate is a duplicate of CVE-2022-32250. Notes: All CVE users should reference CVE-2022-32250 instead of this candidate. All references and descriptions in this candidate have been removed to prevent accidental usage. (CVE-2022-1966)

- net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c in the Linux kernel through 5.18.1 allows a local user (able to create user/net namespaces) to escalate privileges to root because an incorrect NFT_STATEFUL_EXPR check leads to a use-after-free. (CVE-2022-32250)

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 affected packages.
