In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: watch_queue: Fix NULL dereference in error cleanup In watch_queue_set_size(), the error cleanup code doesn't take account of the fact that __free_page() can't handle a NULL pointer when trying to free up buffer pages that did get allocated. Fix this by only calling __free_page() on the pages actually allocated.

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1779987841 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: hns3: do not allow call     hns3_nic_net_open repeatedly hns3_nic_net_open() is not allowed to called repeatly, but there is no     checking for this. When doing device reset and setup tc concurrently, there is a small oppotunity to call     hns3_nic_net_open repeatedly, and cause kernel bug by calling napi_enable twice.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: isotp: isotp_sendmsg(): add     result check for wait_event_interruptible() Using wait_event_interruptible() to wait for complete     transmission, but do not check the result of wait_event_interruptible() which can be interrupted. It will     result in TX buffer has multiple accessors and the later process interferes with the previous process.
    Following is one of the problems reported by syzbot.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: serial: core: fix transmit-buffer     reset and memleak Commit 761ed4a94582 (tty: serial_core: convert uart_close to use tty_port_close)     converted serial core to use tty_port_close() but failed to notice that the transmit buffer still needs to     be freed on final close. Not freeing the transmit buffer means that the buffer is no longer cleared on     next open so that any ioctl() waiting for the buffer to drain might wait indefinitely (e.g. on termios     changes) or that stale data can end up being transmitted in case tx is restarted. Furthermore, the buffer     of any port that has been opened would leak on driver unbind. Note that the port lock is held when     clearing the buffer pointer due to the ldisc race worked around by commit a5ba1d95e46e (uart: fix race     between uart_put_char() and uart_shutdown()). Also note that the tty-port shutdown() callback is not     called for console ports so it is not strictly necessary to free the buffer page after releasing the lock     (cf. d72402145ace (tty/serial: do not free trasnmit buffer page under port lock)). (CVE-2021-47527)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/gup: fix gup_pud_range() for dax     For dax pud, pud_huge() returns true on x86. So the function works as long as hugetlb is configured.
    However, dax doesn't depend on hugetlb. Commit 414fd080d125 (mm/gup: fix gup_pmd_range() for dax) fixed     devmap-backed huge PMDs, but missed devmap-backed huge PUDs. Fix this as well.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: lz4: fix LZ4_decompress_safe_partial     read out of bound When partialDecoding, it is EOF if we've either filled the output buffer or can't     proceed with reading an offset for following match. In some extreme corner cases when compressed data is     suitably corrupted, UAF will occur. As reported by KASAN [1], LZ4_decompress_safe_partial may lead to read     out of bound problem during decoding. lz4 upstream has fixed it [2] and this issue has been disscussed     here [3] before. current decompression routine was ported from lz4 v1.8.3, bumping lib/lz4 to v1.9.+ is     certainly a huge work to be done later, so, we'd better fix it first.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.10.112-108.499. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.10-2023-036 advisory.

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

    ubi: Fix race condition between ctrl_cdev_ioctl and ubi_cdev_ioctl (CVE-2021-47634)

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

    Revert Revert block, bfq: honor already-setup queue merges (CVE-2021-47646)

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

    ASoC: soc-compress: prevent the potentially use of null pointer (CVE-2021-47650)

    A denial of service (DOS) issue was found in the Linux kernel's smb2_ioctl_query_info function in     the fs/cifs/smb2ops.c Common Internet File System (CIFS) due to an incorrect return from the memdup_user     function. This flaw allows a local, privileged (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) attacker to crash the system.
    (CVE-2022-0168)

    When the KVM updates the guest's page table entry, it will first use get_user_pages_fast() to pin the     page, and when it fails (e.g. the vma->flags has VM_IO or VM_PFNMAP), it will get corresponding VMA where     the page lies in through find_vma_intersection(), calculate the physical address, and map the page to the     kernel virtual address through memremap(), and finally, write the update.The problem is that when we get     the vma through find_vma_intersection(), only VM_PFNMAP is checked, not both VM_IO and VM_PFNMAP. In the     reproducer below, after the KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION is completed, we replace the guest's memory mapping     with the kernel-user shared region of io_uring and then perform the KVM_TRANSLATE operation, which finally     triggers the page table entry update. Now, memremap() will return page_offset_base (direct mapping of all     physical memory) + vaddr (the linear address of KVM_TRANSLATE) + vm_pgoff (the offset when io_uring     performs mmap(2)), and use the return value as the base address for CMPXCHG (write 0x21 in this case).
    Since both vaddr and vm_pgoff are controllable by the user-mode process, writing may exceed the previously     mapped guest memory space and trigger exceptions such as UAF. The vulnerability shares similarities with     CVE-2021-22543. (CVE-2022-1158)

    A vulnerability was found in the pfkey_register function in net/key/af_key.c in the Linux kernel. This     flaw allows a local, unprivileged user to gain access to kernel memory, leading to a system crash or a     leak of internal kernel information. (CVE-2022-1353)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's io_uring interface subsystem in the way a user     triggers a race condition between timeout flush and removal. This flaw allows a local user to crash or     escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-29582)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel implementation of proxied virtualized TPM devices. On a system where     virtualized TPM devices are configured (this is not the default) a local attacker can create a use-after-     free and create a situation where it may be possible to escalate privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-2977)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A NULL pointer dereference may occur while a slip driver is in     progress to detach in sl_tx_timeout in drivers/net/slip/slip.c. This issue could allow an attacker to     crash the system or leak internal kernel information. (CVE-2022-41858)
