The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP4 LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed :

CVE-2020-36312: Fixed an issue in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c that had a kvm_io_bus_unregister_dev memory leak upon a kmalloc failure (bnc#1184509).

CVE-2021-29650: Fixed an issue inside the netfilter subsystem that allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) because net/netfilter/x_tables.c and include/linux/netfilter/x_tables.h lack a full memory barrier upon the assignment of a new table value (bnc#1184208).

CVE-2021-29155: Fixed an issue within kernel/bpf/verifier.c that performed undesirable out-of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic, leading to side-channel attacks that defeat Spectre mitigations and obtain sensitive information from kernel memory. Specifically, for sequences of pointer arithmetic operations, the pointer modification performed by the first operation is not correctly accounted for when restricting subsequent operations (bnc#1184942).

CVE-2020-36310: Fixed an issue in arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.c that allowed a set_memory_region_test infinite loop for certain nested page faults (bnc#1184512).

CVE-2020-27673: Fixed an issue in Xen where a guest OS users could have caused a denial of service (host OS hang) via a high rate of events to dom0 (bnc#1177411, bnc#1184583).

CVE-2021-29154: Fixed BPF JIT compilers that allowed to execute arbitrary code within the kernel context (bnc#1184391).

CVE-2020-25673: Fixed NFC endless loops caused by repeated llcp_sock_connect() (bsc#1178181).

CVE-2020-25672: Fixed NFC memory leak in llcp_sock_connect() (bsc#1178181).

CVE-2020-25671: Fixed NFC refcount leak in llcp_sock_connect() (bsc#1178181).

CVE-2020-25670: Fixed NFC refcount leak in llcp_sock_bind() (bsc#1178181).

CVE-2020-36311: Fixed an issue in arch/x86/kvm/svm/sev.c that allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (soft lockup) by triggering destruction of a large SEV VM (which requires unregistering many encrypted regions) (bnc#1184511).

CVE-2021-28950: Fixed an issue in fs/fuse/fuse_i.h where a 'stall on CPU' could have occured because a retry loop continually finds the same bad inode (bnc#1184194, bnc#1184211).

CVE-2020-36322: Fixed an issue inside the FUSE filesystem implementation where fuse_do_getattr() calls make_bad_inode() in inappropriate situations, could have caused a system crash. NOTE: the original fix for this vulnerability was incomplete, and its incompleteness is tracked as CVE-2021-28950 (bnc#1184211).

CVE-2021-30002: Fixed a memory leak issue when a webcam device exists (bnc#1184120).

CVE-2021-3483: Fixed a use-after-free bug in nosy_ioctl() (bsc#1184393).

CVE-2021-20219: Fixed a denial of service vulnerability in drivers/tty/n_tty.c of the Linux kernel. In this flaw a local attacker with a normal user privilege could have delayed the loop and cause a threat to the system availability (bnc#1184397).

CVE-2021-28964: Fixed a race condition in fs/btrfs/ctree.c that could have caused a denial of service because of a lack of locking on an extent buffer before a cloning operation (bnc#1184193).

CVE-2021-3444: Fixed the bpf verifier as it did not properly handle mod32 destination register truncation when the source register was known to be 0. A local attacker with the ability to load bpf programs could use this gain out-of-bounds reads in kernel memory leading to information disclosure (kernel memory), and possibly out-of-bounds writes that could potentially lead to code execution (bnc#1184170).

CVE-2021-28971: Fixed a potential local denial of service in intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm where userspace applications can cause a system crash because the PEBS status in a PEBS record is mishandled (bnc#1184196).

CVE-2021-28688: Fixed XSA-365 that includes initialization of pointers such that subsequent cleanup code wouldn't use uninitialized or stale values. This initialization went too far and may under certain conditions also overwrite pointers which are in need of cleaning up.
The lack of cleanup would result in leaking persistent grants. The leak in turn would prevent fully cleaning up after a respective guest has died, leaving around zombie domains (bnc#1183646).

CVE-2021-29265: Fixed an issue in usbip_sockfd_store in drivers/usb/usbip/stub_dev.c that allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (GPF) because the stub-up sequence has race conditions during an update of the local and shared status (bnc#1184167).

CVE-2021-29264: Fixed an issue in drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/gianfar.c in the Freescale Gianfar Ethernet driver that allowed attackers to cause a system crash because a negative fragment size is calculated in situations involving an rx queue overrun when jumbo packets are used and NAPI is enabled (bnc#1184168).

CVE-2021-28972: Fixed an issue in drivers/pci/hotplug/rpadlpar_sysfs.c where the RPA PCI Hotplug driver had a user-tolerable buffer overflow when writing a new device name to the driver from userspace, allowing userspace to write data to the kernel stack frame directly. This occurs because add_slot_store and remove_slot_store mishandle drc_name '\0' termination (bnc#1184198).

CVE-2021-29647: Fixed an issue in kernel qrtr_recvmsg in net/qrtr/qrtr.c that allowed attackers to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory because of a partially uninitialized data structure (bnc#1184192).

CVE-2020-27171: Fixed an issue in kernel/bpf/verifier.c that had an off-by-one error (with a resultant integer underflow) affecting out-of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic, leading to side-channel attacks that defeat Spectre mitigations and obtain sensitive information from kernel memory (bnc#1183686, bnc#1183775).

CVE-2020-27170: Fixed an issue in kernel/bpf/verifier.c that performed undesirable out-of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic, leading to side-channel attacks that defeat Spectre mitigations and obtain sensitive information from kernel memory. This affects pointer types that do not define a ptr_limit (bnc#1183686 bnc#1183775).

CVE-2021-28660: Fixed rtw_wx_set_scan in drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/os_dep/ioctl_linux.c that allowed writing beyond the end of the ssid array (bnc#1183593).

CVE-2020-35519: Update patch reference for x25 fix (bsc#1183696).

CVE-2021-3428: Fixed ext4 integer overflow in ext4_es_cache_extent (bsc#1173485, bsc#1183509).

CVE-2020-0433: Fixed blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter of blk-mq-tag.c, where a possible use after free due to improper locking could have happened.
This could have led to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation (bnc#1176720).

CVE-2021-28038: Fixed an issue with Xen PV. A certain part of the netback driver lacks necessary treatment of errors such as failed memory allocations (as a result of changes to the handling of grant mapping errors). A host OS denial of service may occur during misbehavior of a networking frontend driver. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2021-26931 (bnc#1183022, bnc#1183069).

CVE-2020-27815: Fixed jfs array index bounds check in dbAdjTree (bsc#1179454).

CVE-2021-27365: Fixed an issue inside the iSCSI data structures that does not have appropriate length constraints or checks, and can exceed the PAGE_SIZE value. An unprivileged user can send a Netlink message that is associated with iSCSI, and has a length up to the maximum length of a Netlink message (bnc#1182715).

CVE-2021-27363: Fixed an issue with a kernel pointer leak that could have been used to determine the address of the iscsi_transport structure. When an iSCSI transport is registered with the iSCSI subsystem, the transport's handle is available to unprivileged users via the sysfs file system, at /sys/class/iscsi_transport/$TRANSPORT_NAME/handle. When read, the show_transport_handle function (in drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c) is called, which leaks the handle. This handle is actually the pointer to an iscsi_transport struct in the kernel module's global variables (bnc#1182716).

CVE-2021-27364: Fixed an issue in drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c where an unprivileged user can craft Netlink messages (bnc#1182717).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     5.11.3. A kernel pointer leak can be used to determine     the address of the iscsi_transport structure. When an     iSCSI transport is registered with the iSCSI subsystem,     the transport's handle is available to unprivileged     users via the sysfs file system, at     /sys/class/iscsi_transport/$TRANSPORT_NAME/handle. When     read, the show_transport_handle function (in     drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c) is called, which     leaks the handle. This handle is actually the pointer     to an iscsi_transport struct in the kernel module's     global variables.(CVE-2021-27363)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     5.11.3. Certain iSCSI data structures do not have     appropriate length constraints or checks, and can     exceed the PAGE_SIZE value. An unprivileged user can     send a Netlink message that is associated with iSCSI,     and has a length up to the maximum length of a Netlink     message.(CVE-2021-27365)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     5.11.3. drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c is     adversely affected by the ability of an unprivileged     user to craft Netlink messages.(CVE-2021-27364)

  - Overlayfs did not properly perform permission checking     when copying up files in an overlayfs and could be     exploited from within a user namespace, if, for     example, unprivileged user namespaces were allowed. It     was possible to have a file not readable by an     unprivileged user to be copied to a mountpoint     controlled by the user, like a removable device. This     was introduced in kernel version 4.19 by commit d1d04ef     ('ovl: stack file ops'). This was fixed in kernel     version 5.8 by commits 56230d9 ('ovl: verify     permissions in ovl_path_open()'), 48bd024 ('ovl: switch     to mounter creds in readdir') and 05acefb ('ovl: check     permission to open real file'). Additionally, commits     130fdbc ('ovl: pass correct flags for opening real     directory') and 292f902 ('ovl: call secutiry hook in     ovl_real_ioctl()') in kernel 5.8 might also be desired     or necessary. These additional commits introduced a     regression in overlay mounts within user namespaces     which prevented access to files with ownership outside     of the user namespace. This regression was mitigated by     subsequent commit b6650da ('ovl: do not fail because of     O_NOATIMEi') in kernel 5.11.(CVE-2020-16120)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of string matching within a packet. A privileged user     (with root or CAP_NET_ADMIN) when inserting iptables     rules could insert a rule which can panic the     system.(CVE-2021-20177)

  - fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c in the Linux kernel through 5.10.8,     when there is an NFS export of a subdirectory of a     filesystem, allows remote attackers to traverse to     other parts of the filesystem via READDIRPLUS. NOTE:
    some parties argue that such a subdirectory export is     not intended to prevent this attack see also the     exports(5) no_subtree_check default     behavior.(CVE-2021-3178)

  - nbd_add_socket in drivers/block/nbd.c in the Linux     kernel through 5.10.12 has an ndb_queue_rq     use-after-free that could be triggered by local     attackers (with access to the nbd device) via an I/O     request at a certain point during device setup, aka     CID-b98e762e3d71.(CVE-2021-3348)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through     5.10.11. PI futexes have a kernel stack use-after-free     during fault handling, allowing local users to execute     code in the kernel, aka     CID-34b1a1ce1458.(CVE-2021-3347)

  - A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel TUN/TAP     device driver functionality was found in the way user     create and use tun/tap device. A local user could use     this flaw to crash the system or possibly escalate     their privileges on the system.(CVE-2021-0342)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A use-after-free     memory flaw was found in the perf subsystem allowing a     local attacker with permission to monitor perf events     to corrupt memory and possibly escalate privileges. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality and integrity as well as system     availability.(CVE-2020-14351)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's multi-touch     input system. An out-of-bounds write triggered by a     use-after-free issue could lead to memory corruption or     possible privilege escalation. The highest threat from     this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as     well as system availability.(CVE-2020-0465)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux     kernel's GPU Nouveau driver functionality in the way     the user calls ioctl DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_CHANNEL_ALLOC.
    This flaw allows a local user to crash the     system.(CVE-2020-25639)

  - In do_epoll_ctl and ep_loop_check_proc of eventpoll.c, there is a possible use after free due to a logic     error. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed.
    User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID:
    A-147802478References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2020-0466)

  - An issue was discovered in ioapic_lazy_update_eoi in arch/x86/kvm/ioapic.c in the Linux kernel before     5.9.2. It has an infinite loop related to improper interaction between a resampler and edge triggering,     aka CID-77377064c3a9. (CVE-2020-27152)

  - In drivers/target/target_core_xcopy.c in the Linux kernel before 5.10.7, insufficient identifier checking     in the LIO SCSI target code can be used by remote attackers to read or write files via directory traversal     in an XCOPY request, aka CID-2896c93811e3. For example, an attack can occur over a network if the attacker     has access to one iSCSI LUN. The attacker gains control over file access because I/O operations are     proxied via an attacker-selected backstore. (CVE-2020-28374)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.10.11. PI futexes have a kernel stack use-after-free     during fault handling, allowing local users to execute code in the kernel, aka CID-34b1a1ce1458.
    (CVE-2021-3347)

  - A local privilege escalation was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.10.13. Multiple race conditions     in the AF_VSOCK implementation are caused by wrong locking in net/vmw_vsock/af_vsock.c. The race     conditions were implicitly introduced in the commits that added VSOCK multi-transport support.
    (CVE-2021-26708)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. A kernel pointer leak can be used to determine     the address of the iscsi_transport structure. When an iSCSI transport is registered with the iSCSI     subsystem, the transport's handle is available to unprivileged users via the sysfs file system, at     /sys/class/iscsi_transport/$TRANSPORT_NAME/handle. When read, the show_transport_handle function (in     drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c) is called, which leaks the handle. This handle is actually the     pointer to an iscsi_transport struct in the kernel module's global variables. (CVE-2021-27363)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c is     adversely affected by the ability of an unprivileged user to craft Netlink messages. (CVE-2021-27364)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. Certain iSCSI data structures do not have     appropriate length constraints or checks, and can exceed the PAGE_SIZE value. An unprivileged user can     send a Netlink message that is associated with iSCSI, and has a length up to the maximum length of a     Netlink message. (CVE-2021-27365)

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.225-121.357. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2021-1487 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 3.11 through 5.10.16, as used by Xen. To service requests to     the PV backend, the driver maps grant references provided by the frontend. In this process, errors may be     encountered. In one case, an error encountered earlier might be discarded by later processing, resulting     in the caller assuming successful mapping, and hence subsequent operations trying to access space that     wasn't mapped. In another case, internal state would be insufficiently updated, preventing safe recovery     from the error. This affects drivers/block/xen-blkback/blkback.c. (CVE-2021-26930)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 2.6.39 through 5.10.16, as used in Xen. Block, net, and SCSI     backends consider certain errors a plain bug, deliberately causing a kernel crash. For errors potentially     being at least under the influence of guests (such as out of memory conditions), it isn't correct to     assume a plain bug. Memory allocations potentially causing such crashes occur only when Linux is running     in PV mode, though. This affects drivers/block/xen-blkback/blkback.c and drivers/xen/xen-scsiback.c.
    (CVE-2021-26931)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 3.2 through 5.10.16, as used by Xen. Grant mapping operations     often occur in batch hypercalls, where a number of operations are done in a single hypercall, the success     or failure of each one is reported to the backend driver, and the backend driver then loops over the     results, performing follow-up actions based on the success or failure of each operation. Unfortunately,     when running in PV mode, the Linux backend drivers mishandle this: Some errors are ignored, effectively     implying their success from the success of related batch elements. In other cases, errors resulting from     one batch element lead to further batch elements not being inspected, and hence successful ones to not be     possible to properly unmap upon error recovery. Only systems with Linux backends running in PV mode are     vulnerable. Linux backends run in HVM / PVH modes are not vulnerable. This affects arch/*/xen/p2m.c and     drivers/xen/gntdev.c. (CVE-2021-26932)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. A kernel pointer leak can be used to determine     the address of the iscsi_transport structure. When an iSCSI transport is registered with the iSCSI     subsystem, the transport's handle is available to unprivileged users via the sysfs file system, at     /sys/class/iscsi_transport/$TRANSPORT_NAME/handle.

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c is     adversely affected by the ability of an unprivileged user to craft Netlink messages. (CVE-2021-27364)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. Certain iSCSI data structures do not have     appropriate length constraints or checks, and can exceed the PAGE_SIZE value. An unprivileged user can     send a Netlink message that is associated with iSCSI, and has a length up to the maximum length of a     Netlink message. (CVE-2021-27365)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3, as used with Xen PV. A certain part of the     netback driver lacks necessary treatment of errors such as failed memory allocations (as a result of     changes to the handling of grant mapping errors). A host OS denial of service may occur during misbehavior     of a networking frontend driver. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2021-26931.

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz),     the core of any Linux operating system. The kernel     handles the basic functions of the operating system:
    memory allocation, process allocation, device input and     output, etc.Security Fix(es):A flaw was found in Linux     kernel in the ext4 filesystem code. A use-after-free is     possible in ext4_ext_remove_space() function when     mounting and operating a crafted ext4     image.(CVE-2018-10876)A flaw was found in the Linux     kernel. A use-after-free was found in the way the     console subsystem was using ioctls KDGKBSENT and     KDSKBSENT. A local user could use this flaw to get read     memory access out of bounds. The highest threat from     this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality.(CVE-2020-25656)A flaw was found in the     way RTAS handled memory accesses in userspace to kernel     communication. On a locked down (usually due to Secure     Boot) guest system running on top of PowerVM or KVM     hypervisors (pseries platform) a root like local user     could use this flaw to further increase their     privileges to that of a running     kernel.(CVE-2020-27777)A information disclosure     vulnerability in the Upstream kernel encrypted-keys.
    Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID:
    A-70526974.(CVE-2017-13305)A race condition was found     in the Linux kernels implementation of the floppy disk     drive controller driver software. The impact of this     issue is lessened by the fact that the default     permissions on the floppy device (/dev/fd0) are     restricted to root. If the permissions on the device     have changed the impact changes greatly. In the default     configuration root (or equivalent) permissions are     required to attack this flaw.(CVE-2021-20261)An issue     was discovered in dlpar_parse_cc_property in     arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dlpar.c in the Linux     kernel through 5.1.6. There is an unchecked kstrdup of     prop->name, which might allow an attacker to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system     crash).(CVE-2019-12614)An issue was discovered in     fs/xfs/xfs_icache.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3.
    There is a NULL pointer dereference and panic in     lookup_slow() on a NULL inode->i_ops pointer when doing     pathwalks on a corrupted xfs image. This occurs because     of a lack of proper validation that cached inodes are     free during allocation.(CVE-2018-13093)An issue was     discovered in rds_tcp_kill_sock in net/rds/tcp.c in the     Linux kernel before 5.0.8. There is a race condition     leading to a use-after-free, related to net namespace     cleanup.(CVE-2019-11815)An issue was discovered in the     Linux kernel through 5.11.3. A kernel pointer leak can     be used to determine the address of the iscsi_transport     structure. When an iSCSI transport is registered with     the iSCSI subsystem, the transport's handle is     available to unprivileged users via the sysfs file     system, at     /sys/class/iscsi_transport/$TRANSPORT_NAME/handle. When     read, the show_transport_handle function (in     drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c) is called, which     leaks the handle. This handle is actually the pointer     to an iscsi_transport struct in the kernel module's     global variables.(CVE-2021-27363)An issue was     discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. Certain     iSCSI data structures do not have appropriate length     constraints or checks, and can exceed the PAGE_SIZE     value. An unprivileged user can send a Netlink message     that is associated with iSCSI, and has a length up to     the maximum length of a Netlink     message.(CVE-2021-27365)An issue was discovered in the     Linux kernel through 5.11.3.
    drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c is adversely     affected by the ability of an unprivileged user to     craft Netlink messages.(CVE-2021-27364)An issue was     discovered in yurex_read in drivers/usb/misc/yurex.c in     the Linux kernel before 4.17.7. Local attackers could     use user access read/writes with incorrect bounds     checking in the yurex USB driver to crash the kernel or     potentially escalate     privileges.(CVE-2018-16276)drivers/infiniband/core/ucma     .c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.11 allows     ucma_leave_multicast to access a certain data structure     after a cleanup step in ucma_process_join, which allows     attackers to cause a denial of service     (use-after-free).(CVE-2018-14734)In create_pinctrl of     core.c, there is a possible out of bounds read due to a     use after free. This could lead to local information     disclosure with no additional execution privileges     needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android     kernelAndroid ID: A-140550171(CVE-2020-0427)In     do_epoll_ctl and ep_loop_check_proc of eventpoll.c,     there is a possible use after free due to a logic     error. This could lead to local escalation of privilege     with no additional execution privileges needed. User     interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product:
    AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID:
    A-147802478References: Upstream kernel(CVE-2020-0466)In     fs/ocfs2/cluster/ nodemanager.c in the Linux kernel     before 4.15, local users can cause a denial of service     (NULL pointer dereference and BUG) because a required     mutex is not used.(CVE-2017-18216)In the Linux kernel     before 5.2, a setxattr operation, after a mount of a     crafted ext4 image, can cause a slab-out-of-bounds     write access because of an ext4_xattr_set_entry     use-after-free in fs/ext4/xattr.c when a large old_size     value is used in a memset call, aka     CID-345c0dbf3a30.(CVE-2019-19319)In the Linux kernel     before version 4.12, Kerberos 5 tickets decoded when     using the RXRPC keys incorrectly assumes the size of a     field. This could lead to the size-remaining variable     wrapping and the data pointer going over the end of the     buffer. This could possibly lead to memory corruption     and possible privilege escalation.(CVE-2017-7482)In     uvc_scan_chain_forward of uvc_driver.c, there is a     possible linked list corruption due to an unusual root     cause. This could lead to local escalation of privilege     in the kernel with no additional execution privileges     needed. User interaction is not needed for     exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android     kernelAndroid ID: A-111893654References: Upstream     kernel(CVE-2020-0404)In various methods of     hid-multitouch.c, there is a possible out of bounds     write due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to     local escalation of privilege with no additional     execution privileges needed. User interaction is not     needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions:
    Android kernelAndroid ID: A-162844689References:
    Upstream kernel(CVE-2020-0465)It was found that the raw     midi kernel driver does not protect against concurrent     access which leads to a double realloc (double free) in     snd_rawmidi_input_params() and     snd_rawmidi_output_status() which are part of     snd_rawmidi_ioctl() handler in rawmidi.c file. A     malicious local attacker could possibly use this for     privilege escalation.(CVE-2018-10902)Linux kernel ext4     filesystem is vulnerable to an out-of-bound access in     the ext4_ext_drop_refs() function when operating on a     crafted ext4 filesystem image.(CVE-2018-10877)Linux     kernel is vulnerable to a stack-out-of-bounds write in     the ext4 filesystem code when mounting and writing to a     crafted ext4 image in ext4_update_inline_data(). An     attacker could use this to cause a system crash and a     denial of service.(CVE-2018-10880)Linux Kernel contains     an out-of-bounds read flaw in the asn1_ber_decoder()     function in lib/asn1_decoder.c that is triggered when     decoding ASN.1 data. This may allow a remote attacker     to disclose potentially sensitive memory     contents.(CVE-2018-9383)use-after-free read in     sunkbd_reinit in     drivers/input/keyboard/sunkbd.c(CVE-2020-25669)mwifiex_     cmd_802_11_ad_hoc_start in drivers/     net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/join.c in the Linux kernel     through 5.10.4 might allow remote attackers to execute     arbitrary code via a long SSID value, aka     CID-5c455c5ab332.(CVE-2020-36158)fs/ nfsd/ nfs3xdr.c in     the Linux kernel through 5.10.8, when there is an NFS     export of a subdirectory of a filesystem, allows remote     attackers to traverse to other parts of the filesystem     via READDIRPLUS. NOTE: some parties argue that such a     subdirectory export is not intended to prevent this     attack see also the exports(5) no_subtree_check default     behavior.(CVE-2021-3178)In the Linux kernel before     4.20.8, kvm_ioctl_create_device in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c     mishandles reference counting because of a race     condition, leading to a     use-after-free.(CVE-2019-6974)The KVM implementation in     the Linux kernel through 4.20.5 has a     Use-after-Free.(CVE-2019-7221)A flaw was found in the     JFS filesystem code. This flaw allows a local attacker     with the ability to set extended attributes to panic     the system, causing memory corruption or escalating     privileges. The highest threat from this vulnerability     is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system     availability.(CVE-2020-27815)An out-of-bounds (OOB)     memory access flaw was found in x25_bind in     net/x25/af_x25.c in the Linux kernel. A bounds check     failure allows a local attacker with a user account on     the system to gain access to out-of-bounds memory,     leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel     information. The highest threat from this vulnerability     is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system     availability.(CVE-2020-35519)In     drivers/pci/hotplug/rpadlpar_sysfs.c in the Linux     kernel through 5.11.8, the RPA PCI Hotplug driver has a     user-tolerable buffer overflow when writing a new     device name to the driver from userspace, allowing     userspace to write data to the kernel stack frame     directly. This occurs because add_slot_store and     remove_slot_store mishandle drc_name '\0' termination,     aka CID-cc7a0bb058b8.(CVE-2021-28972)A NULL pointer     dereference was found in the net/rds/rdma.c
    __rds_rdma_map() function in the Linux kernel before     4.14.7 allowing local attackers to cause a system panic     and a denial-of-service, related to RDS_GET_MR and     RDS_GET_MR_FOR_DEST.(CVE-2018-7492)The Siemens R3964     line discipline driver in drivers/tty/ n_r3964.c in the     Linux kernel before 5.0.8 has multiple race     conditions.(CVE-2019-11486)The kernel in Android before     2016-08-05 on Nexus 7 (2013) devices allows attackers     to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka     internal bug 28522518.(CVE-2016-3857)The KVM     implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.14.7     allows attackers to obtain potentially sensitive     information from kernel memory, aka a write_mmio     stack-based out-of-bounds read, related to     arch/x86/kvm/x86.c and     include/trace/events/kvm.h.(CVE-2017-17741)The     sctp_process_param function in net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c     in the SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel before     3.17.4, when ASCONF is used, allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and     system crash) via a malformed INIT     chunk.(CVE-2014-7841)The XFS subsystem in the Linux     kernel through 4.8.2 allows local users to cause a     denial of service (fdatasync failure and system hang)     by using the vfs syscall group in the trinity program,     related to a 'page lock order bug in the XFS seek     hole/data implementation.'(CVE-2016-8660)The     xfs_dinode_verify function in     fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_inode_buf.c in the Linux kernel     through 4.16.3 allows local users to cause a denial of     service (xfs_ilock_attr_map_shared invalid pointer     dereference) via a crafted xfs image.(CVE-2018-10322)
