This driver is not enabled in Debian's official kernel     configurations. CVE-2022-1974, CVE-2022-1975 Duoming Zhou discovered that the NFC netlink interface was     suspectible to denial of service. CVE-2022-2153 kangel reported a flaw in the KVM implementation for x86     processors which could lead to a null pointer dereference. A local user permitted to access /dev/kvm could     exploit this to cause a denial of service (crash). CVE-2022-21123, CVE-2022-21125, CVE-2022-21166 Various     researchers discovered flaws in Intel x86 processors, collectively referred to as MMIO Stale Data     vulnerabilities. These are similar to the previously published Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS)     issues and could be exploited by local users to leak sensitive information. For some CPUs, the mitigations     for these issues require updated microcode. An updated intel-microcode package may be provided at a later     date. The updated CPU microcode may also be available as part of a system firmware (BIOS) update.
    Further information on the mitigation can be found at https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-     guide/hw-vuln/processor_mmio_stale_data.html or in the linux-doc-4.19 package. CVE-2022-23960 Researchers     at VUSec discovered that the Branch History Buffer in Arm processors can be exploited to create     information side channels with speculative execution. This issue is similar to Spectre variant 2, but     requires additional mitigations on some processors. This was previously mitigated for 32-bit Arm (armel     and armhf) architectures and is now also mitigated for 64-bit Arm (arm64). This can be exploited to obtain     sensitive information from a different security context, such as from user-space to the kernel, or from a     KVM guest to the kernel. CVE-2022-26490 Buffer overflows in the STMicroelectronics ST21NFCA core driver     can result in denial of service or privilege escalation. This driver is not enabled in Debian's official     kernel configurations. CVE-2022-27666 valis reported a possible buffer overflow in the IPsec ESP     transformation code. A local user can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service or for     privilege escalation. CVE-2022-28356 Beraphin discovered that the ANSI/IEEE 802.2 LLC type 2 driver did     not properly perform reference counting on some error paths. A local attacker can take advantage of this     flaw to cause a denial of service. CVE-2022-28388 A double free vulnerability was discovered in the 8     devices USB2CAN interface driver. CVE-2022-28389 A double free vulnerability was discovered in the     Microchip CAN BUS Analyzer interface driver. CVE-2022-28390 A double free vulnerability was discovered in     the EMS CPC-USB/ARM7 CAN/USB interface driver. CVE-2022-29581 Kyle Zeng discovered a reference-counting     bug in the cls_u32 network classifier which can lead to a use-after-free. A local user can exploit this to     cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.
    CVE-2022-30594 Jann Horn discovered a flaw in the interaction between ptrace and seccomp subsystems. A     process sandboxed using seccomp() but still permitted to use ptrace() could exploit this to remove the     seccomp restrictions. CVE-2022-32250 Aaron Adams discovered a use-after-free in Netfilter which may result     in local privilege escalation to root. CVE-2022-33981 Yuan Ming from Tsinghua University reported a race     condition in the floppy driver involving use of the FDRAWCMD ioctl, which could lead to a use-after-free.
    A local user with access to a floppy drive device could exploit this to cause a denial of service (crash     or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation. This ioctl is now disabled by default. For the     oldstable distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed in version 4.19.249-2. Due to an issue in     the signing service (Cf. Debian bug #1012741), the vport-vxlan module cannot be loaded for the signed     kernel for amd64 in this update. This update also corrects a regression in the network scheduler subsystem     (bug #1013299). For the 32-bit Arm (armel and armhf) architectures, this update enables optimised     implementations of several cryptographic and CRC algorithms. For at least AES, this should remove a timing     sidechannel that could lead to a leak of sensitive information. This update includes many more bug fixes     from stable updates 4.19.236-4.19.249 inclusive, including for bug #1006346. The random driver has been     backported from Linux 5.19, fixing numerous performance and correctness issues. Some changes will be     visible: The entropy pool size is now 256 bits instead of 4096. You may need to adjust the configuration     of system monitoring or user-space entropy gathering services to allow for this. On systems without a     hardware RNG, the kernel may log more uses of /dev/urandom before it is fully initialised. These uses were     previously under-counted and this is not a regression. We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.

The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3065 advisory.

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation,     denial of service or information leaks. This update is unfortunately not available for the armel     architecture. CVE-2018-1108 It was discovered that the random driver could generate random bytes through     /dev/random and the getrandom() system call before gathering enough entropy that these would be     unpredictable. This could compromise the confidentiality and integrity of encrypted communications. The     original fix for this issue had to be reverted because it caused the boot process to hang on many systems.
    In this version, the random driver has been updated, making it more effective in gathering entropy without     needing a hardware RNG. CVE-2021-4149 Hao Sun reported a flaw in the Btrfs fileysstem driver. There is a     potential lock imbalance in an error path. A local user might be able to exploit this for denial of     service.

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's X.25 set of standardized network protocols     functionality in the way a user terminates their session using a simulated Ethernet card and continued     usage of this connection. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system. (CVE-2022-1516)

  - 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, CVE-2022-23037, CVE-2022-23038,     CVE-2022-23039, CVE-2022-23040, CVE-2022-23041, CVE-2022-23042)

  - Certain Arm Cortex and Neoverse processors through 2022-03-08 do not properly restrict cache speculation,     aka Spectre-BHB. An attacker can leverage the shared branch history in the Branch History Buffer (BHB) to     influence mispredicted branches. Then, cache allocation can allow the attacker to obtain sensitive     information. (CVE-2022-23960)

  - drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 5.16.8 mishandles dev->buf release.

  - A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in IPsec ESP transformation code in net/ipv4/esp4.c and     net/ipv6/esp6.c. This flaw allows a local attacker with a normal user privilege to overwrite kernel heap     objects and may cause a local privilege escalation threat. (CVE-2022-27666)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.17.1, a refcount leak bug was found in net/llc/af_llc.c. (CVE-2022-28356)

  - usb_8dev_start_xmit in drivers/net/can/usb/usb_8dev.c in the Linux kernel through 5.17.1 has a double     free. (CVE-2022-28388)

  - mcba_usb_start_xmit in drivers/net/can/usb/mcba_usb.c in the Linux kernel through 5.17.1 has a double     free. (CVE-2022-28389)
