In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/damon/dbgfs: protect targets destructions with kdamond_lock DAMON debugfs interface iterates current monitoring targets in 'dbgfs_target_ids_read()' while holding the corresponding 'kdamond_lock'. However, it also destructs the monitoring targets in 'dbgfs_before_terminate()' without holding the lock. This can result in a use_after_free bug. This commit avoids the race by protecting the destruction with the corresponding 'kdamond_lock'.

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-013432 advisory.

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

    mm/damon/dbgfs: protect targets destructions with kdamond_lock

    DAMON debugfs interface iterates current monitoring targets in     'dbgfs_target_ids_read()' while holding the corresponding     'kdamond_lock'.  However, it also destructs the monitoring targets in     'dbgfs_before_terminate()' without holding the lock.  This can result in     a use_after_free bug.  This commit avoids the race by protecting the     destruction with the corresponding 'kdamond_lock'.

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.10.106-102.504. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.10-2022-012 advisory.

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

    mm/damon/dbgfs: fix 'struct pid' leaks in 'dbgfs_target_ids_write()' (CVE-2021-46937)

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

    mm/damon/dbgfs: protect targets destructions with kdamond_lock (CVE-2021-47088)

    A flaw was found in unrestricted eBPF usage by the BPF_BTF_LOAD, leading to a possible out-of-bounds     memory write in the Linux kernel's BPF subsystem due to the way a user loads BTF. This flaw allows a local     user to crash or escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-0500)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's FUSE filesystem in the way a user triggers write().
    This flaw allows a local user to gain unauthorized access to data from the FUSE filesystem, resulting in     privilege escalation. (CVE-2022-1011)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in linux/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c of the netfilter subsystem.
    This flaw allows a local user to cause an out-of-bounds write issue. (CVE-2022-1015)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in net/netfilter/nf_tables_core.c:nft_do_chain, which can cause a     use-after-free. This issue needs to handle return with proper preconditions, as it can lead to a kernel     information leak problem caused by a local, unprivileged attacker. (CVE-2022-1016)

    Linux PV device frontends vulnerable to attacks by backends T[his CNA information record relates to     multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.] Several Linux PV     device frontends are using the grant table interfaces for removing access rights of the backends in ways     being subject to race conditions, resulting in potential data leaks, data corruption by malicious     backends, and denial of service triggered by malicious backends: blkfront, netfront, scsifront and the     gntalloc driver are testing whether a grant reference is still in use. If this is not the case, they     assume that a following removal of the granted access will always succeed, which is not true in case the     backend has mapped the granted page between those two operations. As a result the backend can keep access     to the memory page of the guest no matter how the page will be used after the frontend I/O has finished.
    The xenbus driver has a similar problem, as it doesn't check the success of removing the granted access of     a shared ring buffer. blkfront: CVE-2022-23036 netfront: CVE-2022-23037 scsifront: CVE-2022-23038     gntalloc: CVE-2022-23039 xenbus: CVE-2022-23040 blkfront, netfront, scsifront, usbfront, dmabuf, xenbus,     9p, kbdfront, and pvcalls are using a functionality to delay freeing a grant reference until it is no     longer in use, but the freeing of the related data page is not synchronized with dropping the granted     access. As a result the backend can keep access to the memory page even after it has been freed and then     re-used for a different purpose. CVE-2022-23041 netfront will fail a BUG_ON() assertion if it fails to     revoke access in the rx path. This will result in a Denial of Service (DoS) situation of the guest which     can be triggered by the backend. CVE-2022-23042 (CVE-2022-23036)
