The eBPF RINGBUF bpf_ringbuf_reserve() function in the Linux kernel did not check that the allocated size was smaller than the ringbuf size, allowing an attacker to perform out-of-bounds writes within the kernel and therefore, arbitrary code execution. This issue was fixed via commit 4b81ccebaeee ("bpf, ringbuf: Deny reserve of buffers larger than ringbuf") (v5.13-rc4) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4, v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. It was introduced via 457f44363a88 ("bpf: Implement BPF ring buffer and verifier support for it") (v5.8-rc1).

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.10.35-31.135. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.10-2022-001 advisory.

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel where refcount leak in llcp_sock_bind() causing use-after-free     which might lead to privilege escalations. (CVE-2020-25670)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel, where a refcount leak in llcp_sock_connect() causing use-after-     free which might lead to privilege escalations. (CVE-2020-25671)

  - A memory leak vulnerability was found in Linux kernel in llcp_sock_connect (CVE-2020-25672)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux kernel where non-blocking socket in llcp_sock_connect() leads to leak     and eventually hanging-up the system. (CVE-2020-25673)

  - A race condition in Linux kernel SCTP sockets (net/sctp/socket.c) before 5.12-rc8 can lead to kernel     privilege escalation from the context of a network service or an unprivileged process. If     sctp_destroy_sock is called without sock_net(sk)->sctp.addr_wq_lock then an element is removed from the     auto_asconf_splist list without any proper locking. This can be exploited by an attacker with network     service privileges to escalate to root or from the context of an unprivileged user directly if a     BPF_CGROUP_INET_SOCK_CREATE is attached which denies creation of some SCTP socket. (CVE-2021-23133)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.x. kernel/bpf/verifier.c performs 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. (CVE-2021-29155)

  - kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 5.12.1 performs undesirable speculative loads, leading     to disclosure of stack content via side-channel attacks, aka CID-801c6058d14a. The specific concern is not     protecting the BPF stack area against speculative loads. Also, the BPF stack can contain uninitialized     data that might represent sensitive information previously operated on by the kernel. (CVE-2021-31829)

  - The eBPF RINGBUF bpf_ringbuf_reserve() function in the Linux kernel did not check that the allocated size     was smaller than the ringbuf size, allowing an attacker to perform out-of-bounds writes within the kernel     and therefore, arbitrary code execution. This issue was fixed via commit 4b81ccebaeee (bpf, ringbuf: Deny     reserve of buffers larger than ringbuf) (v5.13-rc4) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4,     v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. It was introduced via 457f44363a88 (bpf: Implement BPF ring buffer and verifier     support for it) (v5.8-rc1). (CVE-2021-3489)

  - The eBPF ALU32 bounds tracking for bitwise ops (AND, OR and XOR) in the Linux kernel did not properly     update 32-bit bounds, which could be turned into out of bounds reads and writes in the Linux kernel and     therefore, arbitrary code execution. This issue was fixed via commit 049c4e13714e (bpf: Fix alu32 const     subreg bound tracking on bitwise operations) (v5.13-rc4) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4,     v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. The AND/OR issues were introduced by commit 3f50f132d840 (bpf: Verifier, do     explicit ALU32 bounds tracking) (5.7-rc1) and the XOR variant was introduced by 2921c90d4718 (bpf:Fix a     verifier failure with xor) ( 5.10-rc1). (CVE-2021-3490)

  - The io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed the MAX_RW_COUNT limit to be bypassed in the     PROVIDE_BUFFERS operation, which led to negative values being usedin mem_rw when reading /proc/<PID>/mem.
    This could be used to create a heap overflow leading to arbitrary code execution in the kernel. It was     addressed via commit d1f82808877b (io_uring: truncate lengths larger than MAX_RW_COUNT on provide     buffers) (v5.13-rc1) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4, v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. It was     introduced in ddf0322db79c (io_uring: add IORING_OP_PROVIDE_BUFFERS) (v5.7-rc1). (CVE-2021-3491)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in versions before 5.12. The value of internal.ndata, in the KVM API,     is mapped to an array index, which can be updated by a user process at anytime which could lead to an out-     of-bounds write. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data integrity and system availability.
    (CVE-2021-3501)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: hso: fix null-ptr-deref during     tty device unregistration Multiple ttys try to claim the same the minor number causing a double     unregistration of the same device. The first unregistration succeeds but the next one results in a null-     ptr-deref. The get_free_serial_index() function returns an available minor number but doesn't assign it     immediately. The assignment is done by the caller later. But before this assignment, calls to     get_free_serial_index() would return the same minor number. Fix this by modifying get_free_serial_index to     assign the minor number immediately after one is found to be and rename it to obtain_minor() to better     reflect what it does. Similary, rename set_serial_by_index() to release_minor() and modify it to free up     the minor number of the given hso_serial. Every obtain_minor() should have corresponding release_minor()     call. (CVE-2021-46904)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: hso: fix NULL-deref on disconnect     regression Commit 8a12f8836145 (net: hso: fix null-ptr-deref during tty device unregistration) fixed the     racy minor allocation reported by syzbot, but introduced an unconditional NULL-pointer dereference on     every disconnect instead. Specifically, the serial device table must no longer be accessed after the minor     has been released by hso_serial_tty_unregister(). (CVE-2021-46905)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Use correct permission flag for     mixed signed bounds arithmetic We forbid adding unknown scalars with mixed signed bounds due to the     spectre v1 masking mitigation. Hence this also needs bypass_spec_v1 flag instead of allow_ptr_leaks.
    (CVE-2021-46908)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: Make     tcp_allowed_congestion_control readonly in non-init netns Currently, tcp_allowed_congestion_control is     global and writable; writing to it in any net namespace will leak into all other net namespaces.
    tcp_available_congestion_control and tcp_allowed_congestion_control are the only sysctls in ipv4_net_table     (the per-netns sysctl table) with a NULL data pointer; their handlers     (proc_tcp_available_congestion_control and proc_allowed_congestion_control) have no other way of     referencing a struct net. Thus, they operate globally. Because ipv4_net_table does not use designated     initializers, there is no easy way to fix up this one bad table entry. However, the data pointer     updating logic shouldn't be applied to NULL pointers anyway, so we instead force these entries to be read-     only. These sysctls used to exist in ipv4_table (init-net only), but they were moved to the per-net     ipv4_net_table, presumably without realizing that tcp_allowed_congestion_control was writable and thus     introduced a leak. Because the intent of that commit was only to know (i.e. read) which congestion     algorithms are available or allowed, this read-only solution should be sufficient. The logic added in     recent commit 31c4d2f160eb: (net: Ensure net namespace isolation of sysctls) does not and cannot check     for NULL data pointers, because other table entries (e.g. /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_log/) have .data=NULL     but use other methods (.extra2) to access the struct net. (CVE-2021-46912)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ixgbe: fix unbalanced device     enable/disable in suspend/resume pci_disable_device() called in __ixgbe_shutdown() decreases     dev->enable_cnt by 1. pci_enable_device_mem() which increases dev->enable_cnt by 1, was removed from     ixgbe_resume() in commit 6f82b2558735 (ixgbe: use generic power management). This caused unbalanced     increase/decrease. So add pci_enable_device_mem() back. Fix the following call trace. ixgbe 0000:17:00.1:

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KEYS: trusted: Fix TPM reservation for     seal/unseal The original patch 8c657a0590de (KEYS: trusted: Reserve TPM for seal and unseal operations)     was correct on the mailing list: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-     integrity/20210128235621.127925-4-jarkko@kernel.org/ But somehow got rebased so that the tpm_try_get_ops()     in tpm2_seal_trusted() got lost. This causes an imbalanced put of the TPM ops and causes oopses on TIS     based hardware. This fix puts back the lost tpm_try_get_ops() (CVE-2021-46922)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf/core: Fix unconditional     security_locked_down() call Currently, the lockdown state is queried unconditionally, even though its     result is used only if the PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR bit is set in attr.sample_type. While that doesn't matter     in case of the Lockdown LSM, it causes trouble with the SELinux's lockdown hook implementation. SELinux     implements the locked_down hook with a check whether the current task's type has the corresponding     lockdown class permission (integrity or confidentiality) allowed in the policy. This means that     calling the hook when the access control decision would be ignored generates a bogus permission check and     audit record. Fix this by checking sample_type first and only calling the hook when its result would be     honored. (CVE-2021-46971)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2021:4356 advisory.

  - Insufficient control flow in certain data structures for some Intel(R) Processors with Intel(R) Processor     Graphics may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access.
    (CVE-2019-14615)

  - 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)

  - Improper input validation in some Intel(R) Ethernet E810 Adapter drivers for Linux before version 1.0.4     and before version 1.4.29.0 for Windows*, may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable a denial     of service via local access. (CVE-2020-24502)

  - Insufficient access control in some Intel(R) Ethernet E810 Adapter drivers for Linux before version 1.0.4     may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access.
    (CVE-2020-24503)

  - Uncontrolled resource consumption in some Intel(R) Ethernet E810 Adapter drivers for Linux before version     1.0.4 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via local access.
    (CVE-2020-24504)

  - The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent     Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that received fragments be cleared from memory after (re)connecting to a     network. Under the right circumstances, when another device sends fragmented frames encrypted using WEP,     CCMP, or GCMP, this can be abused to inject arbitrary network packets and/or exfiltrate user data.
    (CVE-2020-24586)

  - The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent     Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that all fragments of a frame are encrypted under the same key. An adversary     can abuse this to decrypt selected fragments when another device sends fragmented frames and the WEP,     CCMP, or GCMP encryption key is periodically renewed. (CVE-2020-24587)

  - The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent     Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that the A-MSDU flag in the plaintext QoS header field is authenticated.
    Against devices that support receiving non-SSP A-MSDU frames (which is mandatory as part of 802.11n), an     adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets. (CVE-2020-24588)

  - An issue was discovered in the kernel in NetBSD 7.1. An Access Point (AP) forwards EAPOL frames to other     clients even though the sender has not yet successfully authenticated to the AP. This might be abused in     projected Wi-Fi networks to launch denial-of-service attacks against connected clients and makes it easier     to exploit other vulnerabilities in connected clients. (CVE-2020-26139)

  - An issue was discovered in the ALFA Windows 10 driver 6.1316.1209 for AWUS036H. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and     WPA3 implementations accept plaintext frames in a protected Wi-Fi network. An adversary can abuse this to     inject arbitrary data frames independent of the network configuration. (CVE-2020-26140)

  - An issue was discovered in the ALFA Windows 10 driver 6.1316.1209 for AWUS036H. The Wi-Fi implementation     does not verify the Message Integrity Check (authenticity) of fragmented TKIP frames. An adversary can     abuse this to inject and possibly decrypt packets in WPA or WPA2 networks that support the TKIP data-     confidentiality protocol. (CVE-2020-26141)

  - An issue was discovered in the ALFA Windows 10 driver 1030.36.604 for AWUS036ACH. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and     WPA3 implementations accept fragmented plaintext frames in a protected Wi-Fi network. An adversary can     abuse this to inject arbitrary data frames independent of the network configuration. (CVE-2020-26143)

  - An issue was discovered on Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305 4.4.4 devices. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3     implementations accept plaintext A-MSDU frames as long as the first 8 bytes correspond to a valid RFC1042     (i.e., LLC/SNAP) header for EAPOL. An adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets     independent of the network configuration. (CVE-2020-26144)

  - An issue was discovered on Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305 4.4.4 devices. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3     implementations accept second (or subsequent) broadcast fragments even when sent in plaintext and process     them as full unfragmented frames. An adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets     independent of the network configuration. (CVE-2020-26145)

  - An issue was discovered on Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305 4.4.4 devices. The WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 implementations     reassemble fragments with non-consecutive packet numbers. An adversary can abuse this to exfiltrate     selected fragments. This vulnerability is exploitable when another device sends fragmented frames and the     WEP, CCMP, or GCMP data-confidentiality protocol is used. Note that WEP is vulnerable to this attack by     design. (CVE-2020-26146)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 5.8.9. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 implementations reassemble     fragments even though some of them were sent in plaintext. This vulnerability can be abused to inject     packets and/or exfiltrate selected fragments when another device sends fragmented frames and the WEP,     CCMP, or GCMP data-confidentiality protocol is used. (CVE-2020-26147)

  - 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)

  - An issue was discovered in __split_huge_pmd in mm/huge_memory.c in the Linux kernel before 5.7.5. The     copy-on-write implementation can grant unintended write access because of a race condition in a THP     mapcount check, aka CID-c444eb564fb1. (CVE-2020-29368)

  - A locking inconsistency issue was discovered in the tty subsystem of the Linux kernel through 5.9.13.
    drivers/tty/tty_io.c and drivers/tty/tty_jobctrl.c may allow a read-after-free attack against TIOCGSID,     aka CID-c8bcd9c5be24. (CVE-2020-29660)

  - 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.

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.8.10. virt/kvm/kvm_main.c has a     kvm_io_bus_unregister_dev memory leak upon a kmalloc failure, aka CID-f65886606c2d. (CVE-2020-36312)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.8.1. net/bluetooth/hci_event.c has a slab out-of-     bounds read in hci_extended_inquiry_result_evt, aka CID-51c19bf3d5cf. (CVE-2020-36386)

  - Improper access control in BlueZ may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information     disclosure via adjacent access. (CVE-2021-0129)

  - 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)

  - The eBPF RINGBUF bpf_ringbuf_reserve() function in the Linux kernel did not check that the allocated size     was smaller than the ringbuf size, allowing an attacker to perform out-of-bounds writes within the kernel     and therefore, arbitrary code execution. This issue was fixed via commit 4b81ccebaeee (bpf, ringbuf: Deny     reserve of buffers larger than ringbuf) (v5.13-rc4) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4,     v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. It was introduced via 457f44363a88 (bpf: Implement BPF ring buffer and verifier     support for it) (v5.8-rc1). (CVE-2021-3489)

  - A flaw double-free memory corruption in the Linux kernel HCI device initialization subsystem was found in     the way user attach malicious HCI TTY Bluetooth device. A local user could use this flaw to crash the     system. This flaw affects all the Linux kernel versions starting from 3.13. (CVE-2021-3564)

  - A use-after-free in function hci_sock_bound_ioctl() of the Linux kernel HCI subsystem was found in the way     user calls ioct HCIUNBLOCKADDR or other way triggers race condition of the call hci_unregister_dev()     together with one of the calls hci_sock_blacklist_add(), hci_sock_blacklist_del(), hci_get_conn_info(),     hci_get_auth_info(). A privileged local user could use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their     privileges on the system. This flaw affects the Linux kernel versions prior to 5.13-rc5. (CVE-2021-3573)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel netfilter implementation in versions prior to 5.5-rc7. A user with     root (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) access is able to panic the system when issuing netfilter netflow commands.
    (CVE-2021-3635)

  - A lack of CPU resource in the Linux kernel tracing module functionality in versions prior to 5.14-rc3 was     found in the way user uses trace ring buffer in a specific way. Only privileged local users (with     CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability) could use this flaw to starve the resources causing denial of service.
    (CVE-2021-3679)

  - There is a vulnerability in the linux kernel versions higher than 5.2 (if kernel compiled with config     params CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=y , CONFIG_BPF=y , CONFIG_CGROUPS=y , CONFIG_CGROUP_BPF=y ,     CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY not set, and BPF hook to getsockopt is registered). As result of BPF execution,     the local user can trigger bug in __cgroup_bpf_run_filter_getsockopt() function that can lead to heap     overflow (because of non-hardened usercopy). The impact of attack could be deny of service or possibly     privileges escalation. (CVE-2021-20194)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in versions before 5.4.92 in the BPF protocol. This flaw allows an     attacker with a local account to leak information about kernel internal addresses. The highest threat from     this vulnerability is to confidentiality. (CVE-2021-20239)

  - A race condition in Linux kernel SCTP sockets (net/sctp/socket.c) before 5.12-rc8 can lead to kernel     privilege escalation from the context of a network service or an unprivileged process. If     sctp_destroy_sock is called without sock_net(sk)->sctp.addr_wq_lock then an element is removed from the     auto_asconf_splist list without any proper locking. This can be exploited by an attacker with network     service privileges to escalate to root or from the context of an unprivileged user directly if a     BPF_CGROUP_INET_SOCK_CREATE is attached which denies creation of some SCTP socket. (CVE-2021-23133)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/fuse/fuse_i.h in the Linux kernel before 5.11.8. A stall on CPU can occur     because a retry loop continually finds the same bad inode, aka CID-775c5033a0d1. (CVE-2021-28950)

  - In intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm in arch/x86/events/intel/ds.c in the Linux kernel through 5.11.8 on some     Haswell CPUs, userspace applications (such as perf-fuzzer) can cause a system crash because the PEBS     status in a PEBS record is mishandled, aka CID-d88d05a9e0b6. (CVE-2021-28971)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.x. kernel/bpf/verifier.c performs 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. (CVE-2021-29155)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.11. tipc_nl_retrieve_key in net/tipc/node.c does     not properly validate certain data sizes, aka CID-0217ed2848e8. (CVE-2021-29646)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.11. The netfilter subsystem allows 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, aka CID-175e476b8cdf.
    (CVE-2021-29650)

  - This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Linux Kernel     5.11.15. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in     order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of eBPF programs. The     issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied eBPF programs prior to executing them.
    An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the     context of the kernel. Was ZDI-CAN-13661. (CVE-2021-31440)

  - kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 5.12.1 performs undesirable speculative loads, leading     to disclosure of stack content via side-channel attacks, aka CID-801c6058d14a. The specific concern is not     protecting the BPF stack area against speculative loads. Also, the BPF stack can contain uninitialized     data that might represent sensitive information previously operated on by the kernel. (CVE-2021-31829)

  - An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory write flaw was found in list_devices in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c in the Multi-     device driver module in the Linux kernel before 5.12. A bound check failure allows an attacker with     special user (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) privilege 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 system     availability. (CVE-2021-31916)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.11.14 has a use-after-free in cipso_v4_genopt in net/ipv4/cipso_ipv4.c because     the CIPSO and CALIPSO refcounting for the DOI definitions is mishandled, aka CID-ad5d07f4a9cd. This leads     to writing an arbitrary value. (CVE-2021-33033)

  - kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 5.12.7 enforces incorrect limits for pointer arithmetic     operations, aka CID-bb01a1bba579. This can be abused to perform out-of-bounds reads and writes in kernel     memory, leading to local privilege escalation to root. In particular, there is a corner case where the off     reg causes a masking direction change, which then results in an incorrect final aux->alu_limit.

(CVE-2021-23133)

  - 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 use-after-free in function hci_sock_bound_ioctl() of the Linux kernel HCI subsystem was found in the way     user calls ioct HCIUNBLOCKADDR or other way triggers race condition of the call hci_unregister_dev()     together with one of the calls hci_sock_blacklist_add(), hci_sock_blacklist_del(), hci_get_conn_info(),     hci_get_auth_info(). A privileged local user could use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their     privileges on the system. This flaw affects the Linux kernel versions prior to 5.13-rc5. (CVE-2021-3573)

  - An issue was discovered in the ALFA Windows 10 driver 6.1316.1209 for AWUS036H. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and     WPA3 implementations accept plaintext frames in a protected Wi-Fi network. An adversary can abuse this to     inject arbitrary data frames independent of the network configuration. (CVE-2020-26140)

  - A lack of CPU resource in the Linux kernel tracing module functionality in versions prior to 5.14-rc3 was     found in the way user uses trace ring buffer in a specific way. Only privileged local users (with     CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability) could use this flaw to starve the resources causing denial of service.
    (CVE-2021-3679)

  - The eBPF RINGBUF bpf_ringbuf_reserve() function in the Linux kernel did not check that the allocated size     was smaller than the ringbuf size, allowing an attacker to perform out-of-bounds writes within the kernel     and therefore, arbitrary code execution. This issue was fixed via commit 4b81ccebaeee (bpf, ringbuf: Deny     reserve of buffers larger than ringbuf) (v5.13-rc4) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4,     v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. It was introduced via 457f44363a88 (bpf: Implement BPF ring buffer and verifier     support for it) (v5.8-rc1). (CVE-2021-3489)

  - An issue was discovered in the ALFA Windows 10 driver 1030.36.604 for AWUS036ACH. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and     WPA3 implementations accept fragmented plaintext frames in a protected Wi-Fi network. An adversary can     abuse this to inject arbitrary data frames independent of the network configuration. (CVE-2020-26143)

  - An issue was discovered on Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305 4.4.4 devices. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3     implementations accept plaintext A-MSDU frames as long as the first 8 bytes correspond to a valid RFC1042     (i.e., LLC/SNAP) header for EAPOL. An adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets     independent of the network configuration. (CVE-2020-26144)

  - An issue was discovered in the kernel in NetBSD 7.1. An Access Point (AP) forwards EAPOL frames to other     clients even though the sender has not yet successfully authenticated to the AP. This might be abused in     projected Wi-Fi networks to launch denial-of-service attacks against connected clients and makes it easier     to exploit other vulnerabilities in connected clients. (CVE-2020-26139)

  - An issue was discovered on Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305 4.4.4 devices. The WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 implementations     reassemble fragments with non-consecutive packet numbers. An adversary can abuse this to exfiltrate     selected fragments. This vulnerability is exploitable when another device sends fragmented frames and the     WEP, CCMP, or GCMP data-confidentiality protocol is used. Note that WEP is vulnerable to this attack by     design. (CVE-2020-26146)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.8.1. net/bluetooth/hci_event.c has a slab out-of-     bounds read in hci_extended_inquiry_result_evt, aka CID-51c19bf3d5cf. (CVE-2020-36386)

Also, the BPF stack can contain uninitialized     data that might represent sensitive information previously operated on by the kernel. (CVE-2021-31829)

  - The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent     Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that received fragments be cleared from memory after (re)connecting to a     network. Under the right circumstances, when another device sends fragmented frames encrypted using WEP,     CCMP, or GCMP, this can be abused to inject arbitrary network packets and/or exfiltrate user data.
    (CVE-2020-24586)

  - An issue was discovered in the ALFA Windows 10 driver 6.1316.1209 for AWUS036H. The Wi-Fi implementation     does not verify the Message Integrity Check (authenticity) of fragmented TKIP frames. An adversary can     abuse this to inject and possibly decrypt packets in WPA or WPA2 networks that support the TKIP data-     confidentiality protocol. (CVE-2020-26141)

  - The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent     Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that all fragments of a frame are encrypted under the same key. An adversary     can abuse this to decrypt selected fragments when another device sends fragmented frames and the WEP,     CCMP, or GCMP encryption key is periodically renewed. (CVE-2020-24587)

  - The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent     Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that the A-MSDU flag in the plaintext QoS header field is authenticated.
    Against devices that support receiving non-SSP A-MSDU frames (which is mandatory as part of 802.11n), an     adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets. (CVE-2020-24588)

  - An issue was discovered on Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305 4.4.4 devices. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3     implementations accept second (or subsequent) broadcast fragments even when sent in plaintext and process     them as full unfragmented frames. An adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets     independent of the network configuration. (CVE-2020-26145)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 5.8.9. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 implementations reassemble     fragments even though some of them were sent in plaintext. This vulnerability can be abused to inject     packets and/or exfiltrate selected fragments when another device sends fragmented frames and the WEP,     CCMP, or GCMP data-confidentiality protocol is used. (CVE-2020-26147)

  - A flaw double-free memory corruption in the Linux kernel HCI device initialization subsystem was found in     the way user attach malicious HCI TTY Bluetooth device.

The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2021:1977-1 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.3.9. There is a use-after-free when aa_label_parse()     fails in aa_audit_rule_init() in security/apparmor/audit.c. (CVE-2019-18814)

  - In the Linux kernel 5.3.10, there is a use-after-free (read) in the perf_trace_lock_acquire function     (related to include/trace/events/lock.h). (CVE-2019-19769)

  - The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent     Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that received fragments be cleared from memory after (re)connecting to a     network. Under the right circumstances, when another device sends fragmented frames encrypted using WEP,     CCMP, or GCMP, this can be abused to inject arbitrary network packets and/or exfiltrate user data.
    (CVE-2020-24586)

  - The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent     Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that all fragments of a frame are encrypted under the same key. An adversary     can abuse this to decrypt selected fragments when another device sends fragmented frames and the WEP,     CCMP, or GCMP encryption key is periodically renewed. (CVE-2020-24587)

  - The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent     Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that the A-MSDU flag in the plaintext QoS header field is authenticated.
    Against devices that support receiving non-SSP A-MSDU frames (which is mandatory as part of 802.11n), an     adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets. (CVE-2020-24588)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel where refcount leak in llcp_sock_bind() causing use-after-free     which might lead to privilege escalations. (CVE-2020-25670)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel, where a refcount leak in llcp_sock_connect() causing use-after-     free which might lead to privilege escalations. (CVE-2020-25671)

  - A memory leak vulnerability was found in Linux kernel in llcp_sock_connect (CVE-2020-25672)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux kernel where non-blocking socket in llcp_sock_connect() leads to leak     and eventually hanging-up the system. (CVE-2020-25673)

  - An issue was discovered in the kernel in NetBSD 7.1. An Access Point (AP) forwards EAPOL frames to other     clients even though the sender has not yet successfully authenticated to the AP. This might be abused in     projected Wi-Fi networks to launch denial-of-service attacks against connected clients and makes it easier     to exploit other vulnerabilities in connected clients. (CVE-2020-26139)

  - An issue was discovered in the ALFA Windows 10 driver 6.1316.1209 for AWUS036H. The Wi-Fi implementation     does not verify the Message Integrity Check (authenticity) of fragmented TKIP frames. An adversary can     abuse this to inject and possibly decrypt packets in WPA or WPA2 networks that support the TKIP data-     confidentiality protocol. (CVE-2020-26141)

  - An issue was discovered on Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305 4.4.4 devices. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3     implementations accept second (or subsequent) broadcast fragments even when sent in plaintext and process     them as full unfragmented frames. An adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets     independent of the network configuration. (CVE-2020-26145)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 5.8.9. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 implementations reassemble     fragments even though some of them were sent in plaintext. This vulnerability can be abused to inject     packets and/or exfiltrate selected fragments when another device sends fragmented frames and the WEP,     CCMP, or GCMP data-confidentiality protocol is used. (CVE-2020-26147)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.8. kernel/bpf/verifier.c performs undesirable out-     of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic, leading to side-channel attacks that defeat Spectre     mitigations and obtain sensitive information from kernel memory, aka CID-f232326f6966. This affects     pointer types that do not define a ptr_limit. (CVE-2020-27170)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.8. kernel/bpf/verifier.c has 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,     aka CID-10d2bb2e6b1d. (CVE-2020-27171)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.9.1, as used with Xen through 4.14.x. Guest OS users     can cause a denial of service (host OS hang) via a high rate of events to dom0, aka CID-e99502f76271.
    (CVE-2020-27673)

  - A flaw was found in the JFS filesystem code in the Linux Kernel which 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     version v5.12-rc5. 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)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.8. arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.c allows a     set_memory_region_test infinite loop for certain nested page faults, aka CID-e72436bc3a52.
    (CVE-2020-36310)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.9. arch/x86/kvm/svm/sev.c allows attackers to cause a     denial of service (soft lockup) by triggering destruction of a large SEV VM (which requires unregistering     many encrypted regions), aka CID-7be74942f184. (CVE-2020-36311)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.8.10. virt/kvm/kvm_main.c has a     kvm_io_bus_unregister_dev memory leak upon a kmalloc failure, aka CID-f65886606c2d. (CVE-2020-36312)

  - An issue was discovered in the FUSE filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel before 5.10.6, aka     CID-5d069dbe8aaf. fuse_do_getattr() calls make_bad_inode() in inappropriate situations, causing a system     crash. NOTE: the original fix for this vulnerability was incomplete, and its incompleteness is tracked as     CVE-2021-28950. (CVE-2020-36322)

  - An out-of-bounds access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of the eBPF code verifier in     the way a user running the eBPF script calls dev_map_init_map or sock_map_alloc. This flaw allows a local     user to crash the system or possibly escalate their privileges. The highest threat from this vulnerability     is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-20268)

  - Use After Free vulnerability in nfc sockets in the Linux Kernel before 5.12.4 allows local attackers to     elevate their privileges. In typical configurations, the issue can only be triggered by a privileged local     user with the CAP_NET_RAW capability. (CVE-2021-23134)

  - 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)

  - 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).

  - rtw_wx_set_scan in drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/os_dep/ioctl_linux.c in the Linux kernel through 5.11.6     allows writing beyond the end of the ->ssid[] array. NOTE: from the perspective of kernel.org releases,     CVE IDs are not normally used for drivers/staging/* (unfinished work); however, system integrators may     have situations in which a drivers/staging issue is relevant to their own customer base. (CVE-2021-28660)

  - The fix for XSA-365 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. All Linux versions having the fix for XSA-365 applied are vulnerable.
    XSA-365 was classified to affect versions back to at least 3.11. (CVE-2021-28688)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/fuse/fuse_i.h in the Linux kernel before 5.11.8. A stall on CPU can occur     because a retry loop continually finds the same bad inode, aka CID-775c5033a0d1. (CVE-2021-28950)

  - In intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm in arch/x86/events/intel/ds.c in the Linux kernel through 5.11.8 on some     Haswell CPUs, userspace applications (such as perf-fuzzer) can cause a system crash because the PEBS     status in a PEBS record is mishandled, aka CID-d88d05a9e0b6. (CVE-2021-28971)

  - 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)

  - BPF JIT compilers in the Linux kernel through 5.11.12 have incorrect computation of branch displacements,     allowing them to execute arbitrary code within the kernel context. This affects     arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c and arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp32.c. (CVE-2021-29154)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.x. kernel/bpf/verifier.c performs 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. (CVE-2021-29155)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.10. drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/gianfar.c in     the Freescale Gianfar Ethernet driver allows 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, aka CID-d8861bab48b6. (CVE-2021-29264)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.7. usbip_sockfd_store in     drivers/usb/usbip/stub_dev.c allows 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, aka CID-9380afd6df70.

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.12.4, net/bluetooth/hci_event.c has a use-after-free when destroying an     hci_chan, aka CID-5c4c8c954409. This leads to writing an arbitrary value. (CVE-2021-33034)

  - kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 5.12.7 enforces incorrect limits for pointer arithmetic     operations, aka CID-bb01a1bba579. This can be abused to perform out-of-bounds reads and writes in kernel     memory, leading to local privilege escalation to root. In particular, there is a corner case where the off     reg causes a masking direction change, which then results in an incorrect final aux->alu_limit.
    (CVE-2021-33200)

  - The bpf verifier in the Linux kernel 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. This issue was addressed in     the upstream kernel in commit 9b00f1b78809 (bpf: Fix truncation handling for mod32 dst reg wrt zero) and     in Linux stable kernels 5.11.2, 5.10.19, and 5.4.101. (CVE-2021-3444)

  - A flaw was found in the Nosy driver in the Linux kernel. This issue allows a device to be inserted twice     into a doubly-linked list, leading to a use-after-free when one of these devices is removed. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. Versions     before kernel 5.12-rc6 are affected (CVE-2021-3483)

  - The eBPF RINGBUF bpf_ringbuf_reserve() function in the Linux kernel did not check that the allocated size     was smaller than the ringbuf size, allowing an attacker to perform out-of-bounds writes within the kernel     and therefore, arbitrary code execution. This issue was fixed via commit 4b81ccebaeee (bpf, ringbuf: Deny     reserve of buffers larger than ringbuf) (v5.13-rc4) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4,     v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. It was introduced via 457f44363a88 (bpf: Implement BPF ring buffer and verifier     support for it) (v5.8-rc1). (CVE-2021-3489)

  - The eBPF ALU32 bounds tracking for bitwise ops (AND, OR and XOR) in the Linux kernel did not properly     update 32-bit bounds, which could be turned into out of bounds reads and writes in the Linux kernel and     therefore, arbitrary code execution. This issue was fixed via commit 049c4e13714e (bpf: Fix alu32 const     subreg bound tracking on bitwise operations) (v5.13-rc4) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4,     v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. The AND/OR issues were introduced by commit 3f50f132d840 (bpf: Verifier, do     explicit ALU32 bounds tracking) (5.7-rc1) and the XOR variant was introduced by 2921c90d4718 (bpf:Fix a     verifier failure with xor) ( 5.10-rc1). (CVE-2021-3490)

  - The io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed the MAX_RW_COUNT limit to be bypassed in the     PROVIDE_BUFFERS operation, which led to negative values being usedin mem_rw when reading /proc//mem.
    This could be used to create a heap overflow leading to arbitrary code execution in the kernel. It was     addressed via commit d1f82808877b (io_uring: truncate lengths larger than MAX_RW_COUNT on provide     buffers) (v5.13-rc1) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4, v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. It was     introduced in ddf0322db79c (io_uring: add IORING_OP_PROVIDE_BUFFERS) (v5.7-rc1). (CVE-2021-3491)

  - The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent     Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that received fragments be cleared from memory after (re)connecting to a     network. Under the right circumstances, when another device sends fragmented frames encrypted using WEP,     CCMP, or GCMP, this can be abused to inject arbitrary network packets and/or exfiltrate user data.
    (CVE-2020-24586)

  - The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent     Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that all fragments of a frame are encrypted under the same key. An adversary     can abuse this to decrypt selected fragments when another device sends fragmented frames and the WEP,     CCMP, or GCMP encryption key is periodically renewed. (CVE-2020-24587)

  - The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent     Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that the A-MSDU flag in the plaintext QoS header field is authenticated.

  - An issue was discovered on Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305 4.4.4 devices. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3     implementations accept second (or subsequent) broadcast fragments even when sent in plaintext and process     them as full unfragmented frames. An adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets     independent of the network configuration. (CVE-2020-26145)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 5.8.9. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 implementations reassemble     fragments even though some of them were sent in plaintext.

  - An out-of-bounds access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of the eBPF code verifier in     the way a user running the eBPF script calls dev_map_init_map or sock_map_alloc. This flaw allows a local     user to crash the system or possibly escalate their privileges. The highest threat from this vulnerability     is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-20268)

  - Use After Free vulnerability in nfc sockets in the Linux Kernel before 5.12.4 allows local attackers to     elevate their privileges. In typical configurations, the issue can only be triggered by a privileged local     user with the CAP_NET_RAW capability. (CVE-2021-23134)

  - 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)

  - The eBPF RINGBUF bpf_ringbuf_reserve() function in the Linux kernel did not check that the allocated size     was smaller than the ringbuf size, allowing an attacker to perform out-of-bounds writes within the kernel     and therefore, arbitrary code execution. This issue was fixed via commit 4b81ccebaeee (bpf, ringbuf: Deny     reserve of buffers larger than ringbuf) (v5.13-rc4) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4,     v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. It was introduced via 457f44363a88 (bpf: Implement BPF ring buffer and verifier     support for it) (v5.8-rc1). (CVE-2021-3489)

  - The eBPF ALU32 bounds tracking for bitwise ops (AND, OR and XOR) in the Linux kernel did not properly     update 32-bit bounds, which could be turned into out of bounds reads and writes in the Linux kernel and     therefore, arbitrary code execution. This issue was fixed via commit 049c4e13714e (bpf: Fix alu32 const     subreg bound tracking on bitwise operations) (v5.13-rc4) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4,     v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. The AND/OR issues were introduced by commit 3f50f132d840 (bpf: Verifier, do     explicit ALU32 bounds tracking) (5.7-rc1) and the XOR variant was introduced by 2921c90d4718 (bpf:Fix a     verifier failure with xor) ( 5.10-rc1). (CVE-2021-3490)

  - The io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed the MAX_RW_COUNT limit to be bypassed in the     PROVIDE_BUFFERS operation, which led to negative values being usedin mem_rw when reading /proc//mem.
    This could be used to create a heap overflow leading to arbitrary code execution in the kernel. It was     addressed via commit d1f82808877b (io_uring: truncate lengths larger than MAX_RW_COUNT on provide     buffers) (v5.13-rc1) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4, v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. It was     introduced in ddf0322db79c (io_uring: add IORING_OP_PROVIDE_BUFFERS) (v5.7-rc1). (CVE-2021-3491)

NOTE: the original fix for this vulnerability was incomplete, and its incompleteness is tracked as     CVE-2021-28950. (CVE-2020-36322)

  - An out-of-bounds access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of the eBPF code verifier in     the way a user running the eBPF script calls dev_map_init_map or sock_map_alloc. This flaw allows a local     user to crash the system or possibly escalate their privileges. The highest threat from this vulnerability     is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-20268)

  - Use After Free vulnerability in nfc sockets in the Linux Kernel before 5.12.4 allows local attackers to     elevate their privileges. In typical configurations, the issue can only be triggered by a privileged local     user with the CAP_NET_RAW capability. (CVE-2021-23134)

  - 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)

  - 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.
    (CVE-2021-28038)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.6. fastrpc_internal_invoke in     drivers/misc/fastrpc.c does not prevent user applications from sending kernel RPC messages, aka     CID-20c40794eb85. This is a related issue to CVE-2019-2308. (CVE-2021-28375)

  - rtw_wx_set_scan in drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/os_dep/ioctl_linux.c in the Linux kernel through 5.11.6     allows writing beyond the end of the ->ssid[] array. NOTE: from the perspective of kernel.org releases,     CVE IDs are not normally used for drivers/staging/* (unfinished work); however, system integrators may     have situations in which a drivers/staging issue is relevant to their own customer base. (CVE-2021-28660)

  - The fix for XSA-365 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. All Linux versions having the fix for XSA-365 applied are vulnerable.
    XSA-365 was classified to affect versions back to at least 3.11. (CVE-2021-28688)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/fuse/fuse_i.h in the Linux kernel before 5.11.8. A stall on CPU can occur     because a retry loop continually finds the same bad inode, aka CID-775c5033a0d1. (CVE-2021-28950)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.8. The sound/soc/qcom/sdm845.c soundwire device     driver has a buffer overflow when an unexpected port ID number is encountered, aka CID-1c668e1c0a0f. (This     has been fixed in 5.12-rc4.) (CVE-2021-28952)

  - A race condition was discovered in get_old_root in fs/btrfs/ctree.c in the Linux kernel through 5.11.8. It     allows attackers to cause a denial of service (BUG) because of a lack of locking on an extent buffer     before a cloning operation, aka CID-dbcc7d57bffc. (CVE-2021-28964)

  - In intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm in arch/x86/events/intel/ds.c in the Linux kernel through 5.11.8 on some     Haswell CPUs, userspace applications (such as perf-fuzzer) can cause a system crash because the PEBS     status in a PEBS record is mishandled, aka CID-d88d05a9e0b6. (CVE-2021-28971)

  - 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)

  - BPF JIT compilers in the Linux kernel through 5.11.12 have incorrect computation of branch displacements,     allowing them to execute arbitrary code within the kernel context. This affects     arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c and arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp32.c. (CVE-2021-29154)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.x. kernel/bpf/verifier.c performs 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. (CVE-2021-29155)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.10. drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/gianfar.c in     the Freescale Gianfar Ethernet driver allows 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, aka CID-d8861bab48b6. (CVE-2021-29264)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.7. usbip_sockfd_store in     drivers/usb/usbip/stub_dev.c allows 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, aka CID-9380afd6df70.
    (CVE-2021-29265)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.11. qrtr_recvmsg in net/qrtr/qrtr.c allows     attackers to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory because of a partially uninitialized data     structure, aka CID-50535249f624. (CVE-2021-29647)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.11. The netfilter subsystem allows 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, aka CID-175e476b8cdf.
    (CVE-2021-29650)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.3 when a webcam device exists. video_usercopy in     drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c has a memory leak for large arguments, aka CID-fb18802a338b.
    (CVE-2021-30002)

  - net/bluetooth/hci_request.c in the Linux kernel through 5.12.2 has a race condition for removal of the HCI     controller. (CVE-2021-32399)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.12.4, net/bluetooth/hci_event.c has a use-after-free when destroying an     hci_chan, aka CID-5c4c8c954409. This leads to writing an arbitrary value. (CVE-2021-33034)

  - kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 5.12.7 enforces incorrect limits for pointer arithmetic     operations, aka CID-bb01a1bba579. This can be abused to perform out-of-bounds reads and writes in kernel     memory, leading to local privilege escalation to root. In particular, there is a corner case where the off     reg causes a masking direction change, which then results in an incorrect final aux->alu_limit.
    (CVE-2021-33200)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A denial of service problem is identified if an extent tree is     corrupted in a crafted ext4 filesystem in fs/ext4/extents.c in ext4_es_cache_extent. Fabricating an     integer overflow, A local attacker with a special user privilege may cause a system crash problem which     can lead to an availability threat. (CVE-2021-3428)

  - The bpf verifier in the Linux kernel 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. This issue was addressed in     the upstream kernel in commit 9b00f1b78809 (bpf: Fix truncation handling for mod32 dst reg wrt zero) and     in Linux stable kernels 5.11.2, 5.10.19, and 5.4.101. (CVE-2021-3444)

  - A flaw was found in the Nosy driver in the Linux kernel. This issue allows a device to be inserted twice     into a doubly-linked list, leading to a use-after-free when one of these devices is removed. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. Versions     before kernel 5.12-rc6 are affected (CVE-2021-3483)

  - The eBPF RINGBUF bpf_ringbuf_reserve() function in the Linux kernel did not check that the allocated size     was smaller than the ringbuf size, allowing an attacker to perform out-of-bounds writes within the kernel     and therefore, arbitrary code execution. This issue was fixed via commit 4b81ccebaeee (bpf, ringbuf: Deny     reserve of buffers larger than ringbuf) (v5.13-rc4) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4,     v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. It was introduced via 457f44363a88 (bpf: Implement BPF ring buffer and verifier     support for it) (v5.8-rc1). (CVE-2021-3489)

  - The eBPF ALU32 bounds tracking for bitwise ops (AND, OR and XOR) in the Linux kernel did not properly     update 32-bit bounds, which could be turned into out of bounds reads and writes in the Linux kernel and     therefore, arbitrary code execution. This issue was fixed via commit 049c4e13714e (bpf: Fix alu32 const     subreg bound tracking on bitwise operations) (v5.13-rc4) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4,     v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. The AND/OR issues were introduced by commit 3f50f132d840 (bpf: Verifier, do     explicit ALU32 bounds tracking) (5.7-rc1) and the XOR variant was introduced by 2921c90d4718 (bpf:Fix a     verifier failure with xor) ( 5.10-rc1). (CVE-2021-3490)

  - The io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed the MAX_RW_COUNT limit to be bypassed in the     PROVIDE_BUFFERS operation, which led to negative values being usedin mem_rw when reading /proc/<PID>/mem.
    This could be used to create a heap overflow leading to arbitrary code execution in the kernel. It was     addressed via commit d1f82808877b (io_uring: truncate lengths larger than MAX_RW_COUNT on provide     buffers) (v5.13-rc1) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4, v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. It was     introduced in ddf0322db79c (io_uring: add IORING_OP_PROVIDE_BUFFERS) (v5.7-rc1). (CVE-2021-3491)

  - The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent     Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that all fragments of a frame are encrypted under the same key. An adversary     can abuse this to decrypt selected fragments when another device sends fragmented frames and the WEP,     CCMP, or GCMP encryption key is periodically renewed. (CVE-2020-24587)

  - The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent     Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that the A-MSDU flag in the plaintext QoS header field is authenticated.
    Against devices that support receiving non-SSP A-MSDU frames (which is mandatory as part of 802.11n), an     adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets. (CVE-2020-24588)

  - An issue was discovered in the kernel in NetBSD 7.1. An Access Point (AP) forwards EAPOL frames to other     clients even though the sender has not yet successfully authenticated to the AP. This might be abused in     projected Wi-Fi networks to launch denial-of-service attacks against connected clients and makes it easier     to exploit other vulnerabilities in connected clients. (CVE-2020-26139)

  - An issue was discovered in the ALFA Windows 10 driver 6.1316.1209 for AWUS036H. The Wi-Fi implementation     does not verify the Message Integrity Check (authenticity) of fragmented TKIP frames. An adversary can     abuse this to inject and possibly decrypt packets in WPA or WPA2 networks that support the TKIP data-     confidentiality protocol. (CVE-2020-26141)

  - An issue was discovered on Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305 4.4.4 devices. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3     implementations accept second (or subsequent) broadcast fragments even when sent in plaintext and process     them as full unfragmented frames. An adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets     independent of the network configuration. (CVE-2020-26145)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 5.8.9. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 implementations reassemble     fragments even though some of them were sent in plaintext. This vulnerability can be abused to inject     packets and/or exfiltrate selected fragments when another device sends fragmented frames and the WEP,     CCMP, or GCMP data-confidentiality protocol is used. (CVE-2020-26147)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.8. kernel/bpf/verifier.c performs undesirable out-     of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic, leading to side-channel attacks that defeat Spectre     mitigations and obtain sensitive information from kernel memory, aka CID-f232326f6966. This affects     pointer types that do not define a ptr_limit. (CVE-2020-27170)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.8. kernel/bpf/verifier.c has 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,     aka CID-10d2bb2e6b1d. (CVE-2020-27171)

    (CVE-2020-27673)

  - A flaw was found in the JFS filesystem code in the Linux Kernel which 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     version v5.12-rc5. 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)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.8. arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.c allows a     set_memory_region_test infinite loop for certain nested page faults, aka CID-e72436bc3a52.
    (CVE-2020-36310)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.9. arch/x86/kvm/svm/sev.c allows attackers to cause a     denial of service (soft lockup) by triggering destruction of a large SEV VM (which requires unregistering     many encrypted regions), aka CID-7be74942f184. (CVE-2020-36311)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.8.10. virt/kvm/kvm_main.c has a     kvm_io_bus_unregister_dev memory leak upon a kmalloc failure, aka CID-f65886606c2d. (CVE-2020-36312)

  - An issue was discovered in the FUSE filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel before 5.10.6, aka     CID-5d069dbe8aaf. fuse_do_getattr() calls make_bad_inode() in inappropriate situations, causing a system     crash. NOTE: the original fix for this vulnerability was incomplete, and its incompleteness is tracked as     CVE-2021-28950. (CVE-2020-36322)

  - An out-of-bounds access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of the eBPF code verifier in     the way a user running the eBPF script calls dev_map_init_map or sock_map_alloc. This flaw allows a local     user to crash the system or possibly escalate their privileges. The highest threat from this vulnerability     is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-20268)

  - Use After Free vulnerability in nfc sockets in the Linux Kernel before 5.12.4 allows local attackers to     elevate their privileges. In typical configurations, the issue can only be triggered by a privileged local     user with the CAP_NET_RAW capability. (CVE-2021-23134)

  - 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)

  - 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.
    (CVE-2021-28038)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.6. fastrpc_internal_invoke in     drivers/misc/fastrpc.c does not prevent user applications from sending kernel RPC messages, aka     CID-20c40794eb85. This is a related issue to CVE-2019-2308. (CVE-2021-28375)

  - rtw_wx_set_scan in drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/os_dep/ioctl_linux.c in the Linux kernel through 5.11.6     allows writing beyond the end of the ->ssid[] array. NOTE: from the perspective of kernel.org releases,     CVE IDs are not normally used for drivers/staging/* (unfinished work); however, system integrators may     have situations in which a drivers/staging issue is relevant to their own customer base. (CVE-2021-28660)

  - The fix for XSA-365 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. All Linux versions having the fix for XSA-365 applied are vulnerable.
    XSA-365 was classified to affect versions back to at least 3.11. (CVE-2021-28688)

  - An issue was discovered in fs/fuse/fuse_i.h in the Linux kernel before 5.11.8. A stall on CPU can occur     because a retry loop continually finds the same bad inode, aka CID-775c5033a0d1. (CVE-2021-28950)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.8. The sound/soc/qcom/sdm845.c soundwire device     driver has a buffer overflow when an unexpected port ID number is encountered, aka CID-1c668e1c0a0f. (This     has been fixed in 5.12-rc4.) (CVE-2021-28952)

  - A race condition was discovered in get_old_root in fs/btrfs/ctree.c in the Linux kernel through 5.11.8. It     allows attackers to cause a denial of service (BUG) because of a lack of locking on an extent buffer     before a cloning operation, aka CID-dbcc7d57bffc. (CVE-2021-28964)

  - In intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm in arch/x86/events/intel/ds.c in the Linux kernel through 5.11.8 on some     Haswell CPUs, userspace applications (such as perf-fuzzer) can cause a system crash because the PEBS     status in a PEBS record is mishandled, aka CID-d88d05a9e0b6. (CVE-2021-28971)

  - 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)

  - BPF JIT compilers in the Linux kernel through 5.11.12 have incorrect computation of branch displacements,     allowing them to execute arbitrary code within the kernel context. This affects     arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c and arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp32.c. (CVE-2021-29154)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.x. kernel/bpf/verifier.c performs 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. (CVE-2021-29155)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.10. drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/gianfar.c in     the Freescale Gianfar Ethernet driver allows 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, aka CID-d8861bab48b6. (CVE-2021-29264)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.7. usbip_sockfd_store in     drivers/usb/usbip/stub_dev.c allows 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, aka CID-9380afd6df70.
    (CVE-2021-29265)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.11. qrtr_recvmsg in net/qrtr/qrtr.c allows     attackers to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory because of a partially uninitialized data     structure, aka CID-50535249f624. (CVE-2021-29647)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.11. The netfilter subsystem allows 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, aka CID-175e476b8cdf.
    (CVE-2021-29650)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.3 when a webcam device exists. video_usercopy in     drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c has a memory leak for large arguments, aka CID-fb18802a338b.
    (CVE-2021-30002)

  - net/bluetooth/hci_request.c in the Linux kernel through 5.12.2 has a race condition for removal of the HCI     controller. (CVE-2021-32399)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.12.4, net/bluetooth/hci_event.c has a use-after-free when destroying an     hci_chan, aka CID-5c4c8c954409. This leads to writing an arbitrary value. (CVE-2021-33034)

  - kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 5.12.7 enforces incorrect limits for pointer arithmetic     operations, aka CID-bb01a1bba579. This can be abused to perform out-of-bounds reads and writes in kernel     memory, leading to local privilege escalation to root. In particular, there is a corner case where the off     reg causes a masking direction change, which then results in an incorrect final aux->alu_limit.
    (CVE-2021-33200)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A denial of service problem is identified if an extent tree is     corrupted in a crafted ext4 filesystem in fs/ext4/extents.c in ext4_es_cache_extent. Fabricating an     integer overflow, A local attacker with a special user privilege may cause a system crash problem which     can lead to an availability threat. (CVE-2021-3428)

  - The bpf verifier in the Linux kernel 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. This issue was addressed in     the upstream kernel in commit 9b00f1b78809 (bpf: Fix truncation handling for mod32 dst reg wrt zero) and     in Linux stable kernels 5.11.2, 5.10.19, and 5.4.101. (CVE-2021-3444)

  - A flaw was found in the Nosy driver in the Linux kernel. This issue allows a device to be inserted twice     into a doubly-linked list, leading to a use-after-free when one of these devices is removed. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. Versions     before kernel 5.12-rc6 are affected (CVE-2021-3483)

  - The eBPF RINGBUF bpf_ringbuf_reserve() function in the Linux kernel did not check that the allocated size     was smaller than the ringbuf size, allowing an attacker to perform out-of-bounds writes within the kernel     and therefore, arbitrary code execution. This issue was fixed via commit 4b81ccebaeee (bpf, ringbuf: Deny     reserve of buffers larger than ringbuf) (v5.13-rc4) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4,     v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. It was introduced via 457f44363a88 (bpf: Implement BPF ring buffer and verifier     support for it) (v5.8-rc1). (CVE-2021-3489)

  - The eBPF ALU32 bounds tracking for bitwise ops (AND, OR and XOR) in the Linux kernel did not properly     update 32-bit bounds, which could be turned into out of bounds reads and writes in the Linux kernel and     therefore, arbitrary code execution. This issue was fixed via commit 049c4e13714e (bpf: Fix alu32 const     subreg bound tracking on bitwise operations) (v5.13-rc4) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4,     v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. The AND/OR issues were introduced by commit 3f50f132d840 (bpf: Verifier, do     explicit ALU32 bounds tracking) (5.7-rc1) and the XOR variant was introduced by 2921c90d4718 (bpf:Fix a     verifier failure with xor) ( 5.10-rc1). (CVE-2021-3490)

  - The io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed the MAX_RW_COUNT limit to be bypassed in the     PROVIDE_BUFFERS operation, which led to negative values being usedin mem_rw when reading /proc/<PID>/mem.
    This could be used to create a heap overflow leading to arbitrary code execution in the kernel. It was     addressed via commit d1f82808877b (io_uring: truncate lengths larger than MAX_RW_COUNT on provide     buffers) (v5.13-rc1) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4, v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. It was     introduced in ddf0322db79c (io_uring: add IORING_OP_PROVIDE_BUFFERS) (v5.7-rc1). (CVE-2021-3491)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

An update of the linux package has been released.

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4949-1 advisory.

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's GPU Nouveau driver functionality in     versions prior to 5.12-rc1 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)

  - 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.

  - A race condition was discovered in get_old_root in fs/btrfs/ctree.c in the Linux kernel through 5.11.8. It     allows attackers to cause a denial of service (BUG) because of a lack of locking on an extent buffer     before a cloning operation, aka CID-dbcc7d57bffc. (CVE-2021-28964)

  - In intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm in arch/x86/events/intel/ds.c in the Linux kernel through 5.11.8 on some     Haswell CPUs, userspace applications (such as perf-fuzzer) can cause a system crash because the PEBS     status in a PEBS record is mishandled, aka CID-d88d05a9e0b6. (CVE-2021-28971)

  - 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)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.10. drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/gianfar.c in     the Freescale Gianfar Ethernet driver allows 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, aka CID-d8861bab48b6. (CVE-2021-29264)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.9. drivers/vhost/vdpa.c has a use-after-free     because v->config_ctx has an invalid value upon re-opening a character device, aka CID-f6bbf0010ba0.
    (CVE-2021-29266)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.11. tipc_nl_retrieve_key in net/tipc/node.c does     not properly validate certain data sizes, aka CID-0217ed2848e8. (CVE-2021-29646)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.11. qrtr_recvmsg in net/qrtr/qrtr.c allows     attackers to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory because of a partially uninitialized data     structure, aka CID-50535249f624. (CVE-2021-29647)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.11. The user mode driver (UMD) has a     copy_process() memory leak, related to a lack of cleanup steps in kernel/usermode_driver.c and     kernel/bpf/preload/bpf_preload_kern.c, aka CID-f60a85cad677. (CVE-2021-29649)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.11. The netfilter subsystem allows 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, aka CID-175e476b8cdf.
    (CVE-2021-29650)

  - arch/x86/kvm/svm/nested.c in the Linux kernel before 5.11.12 has a use-after-free in which an AMD KVM     guest can bypass access control on host OS MSRs when there are nested guests, aka CID-a58d9166a756. This     occurs because of a TOCTOU race condition associated with a VMCB12 double fetch in nested_svm_vmrun.
    (CVE-2021-29657)

  - An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory write flaw was found in list_devices in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c in the Multi-     device driver module in the Linux kernel before 5.12. A bound check failure allows an attacker with     special user (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) privilege 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 system     availability. (CVE-2021-31916)

  - A flaw was found in the Nosy driver in the Linux kernel. This issue allows a device to be inserted twice     into a doubly-linked list, leading to a use-after-free when one of these devices is removed. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. Versions     before kernel 5.12-rc6 are affected (CVE-2021-3483)

  - The eBPF RINGBUF bpf_ringbuf_reserve() function in the Linux kernel did not check that the allocated size     was smaller than the ringbuf size, allowing an attacker to perform out-of-bounds writes within the kernel     and therefore, arbitrary code execution. This issue was fixed via commit 4b81ccebaeee (bpf, ringbuf: Deny     reserve of buffers larger than ringbuf) (v5.13-rc4) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4,     v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. It was introduced via 457f44363a88 (bpf: Implement BPF ring buffer and verifier     support for it) (v5.8-rc1). (CVE-2021-3489)

  - The eBPF ALU32 bounds tracking for bitwise ops (AND, OR and XOR) in the Linux kernel did not properly     update 32-bit bounds, which could be turned into out of bounds reads and writes in the Linux kernel and     therefore, arbitrary code execution. This issue was fixed via commit 049c4e13714e (bpf: Fix alu32 const     subreg bound tracking on bitwise operations) (v5.13-rc4) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4,     v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. The AND/OR issues were introduced by commit 3f50f132d840 (bpf: Verifier, do     explicit ALU32 bounds tracking) (5.7-rc1) and the XOR variant was introduced by 2921c90d4718 (bpf:Fix a     verifier failure with xor) ( 5.10-rc1). (CVE-2021-3490)

  - The io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed the MAX_RW_COUNT limit to be bypassed in the     PROVIDE_BUFFERS operation, which led to negative values being usedin mem_rw when reading /proc/<PID>/mem.
    This could be used to create a heap overflow leading to arbitrary code execution in the kernel. It was     addressed via commit d1f82808877b (io_uring: truncate lengths larger than MAX_RW_COUNT on provide     buffers) (v5.13-rc1) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4, v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. It was     introduced in ddf0322db79c (io_uring: add IORING_OP_PROVIDE_BUFFERS) (v5.7-rc1). (CVE-2021-3491)
