In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cgroup/cpuset: Fix wrong check in update_parent_subparts_cpumask() It was found that the check to see if a partition could use up all the cpus from the parent cpuset in update_parent_subparts_cpumask() was incorrect. As a result, it is possible to leave parent with no effective cpu left even if there are tasks in the parent cpuset. This can lead to system panic as reported in [1]. Fix this probem by updating the check to fail the enabling the partition if parent's effective_cpus is a subset of the child's cpus_allowed. Also record the error code when an error happens in update_prstate() and add a test case where parent partition and child have the same cpu list and parent has task. Enabling partition in the child will fail in this case. [1] https://www.spinics.net/lists/cgroups/msg36254.html

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1781347338 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: mdio: unexport __init-annotated     mdio_bus_init() EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text section is freed up     after the initialization. Hence, modules cannot use symbols annotated __init. The access to a freed symbol     may end up with kernel panic. modpost used to detect it, but it has been broken for a decade. Recently, I     fixed modpost so it started to warn it again, then this showed up in linux-next builds. There are two ways     to fix it: - Remove __init - Remove EXPORT_SYMBOL I chose the latter for this case because the only in-     tree call-site, drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c is never compiled as modular. (CONFIG_PHYLIB is boolean)     (CVE-2022-49350)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: selinux: fix memleak in     security_read_state_kernel() In this function, it directly returns the result of __security_read_policy     without freeing the allocated memory in *data, cause memory leak issue, so free the memory if
    __security_read_policy failed. [PM: subject line tweak] (CVE-2022-50201)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: typec: tcpci: fix of node     refcount leak in tcpci_register_port() I got the following report while doing device(mt6370-tcpc) load     test with CONFIG_OF_UNITTEST and CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC enabled: OF: ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1     instead of 2, of_node_get()/of_node_put() unbalanced - destroy cset entry: attach overlay node     /i2c/pmic@34/tcpc/connector The 'fwnode' set in tcpci_parse_config() which is called in     tcpci_register_port(), its node refcount is increased in device_get_named_child_node(). It needs be put     while exiting, so call fwnode_handle_put() in the error path of tcpci_register_port() and in     tcpci_unregister_port() to avoid leak. (CVE-2022-50246)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drivers: serial: jsm: fix some leaks     in probe This error path needs to unwind instead of just returning directly. (CVE-2022-50312)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: thermal: intel_powerclamp: Use     get_cpu() instead of smp_processor_id() to avoid crash When CPU 0 is offline and intel_powerclamp is used     to inject idle, it generates kernel BUG: BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code:
    bash/15687 caller is debug_smp_processor_id+0x17/0x20 CPU: 4 PID: 15687 Comm: bash Not tainted 5.19.0-rc7+     #57 Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x49/0x63 dump_stack+0x10/0x16 check_preemption_disabled+0xdd/0xe0     debug_smp_processor_id+0x17/0x20 powerclamp_set_cur_state+0x7f/0xf9 [intel_powerclamp] ... ... Here CPU 0     is the control CPU by default and changed to the current CPU, if CPU 0 offlined. This check has to be     performed under cpus_read_lock(), hence the above warning. Use get_cpu() instead of smp_processor_id() to     avoid this BUG. [ rjw: Subject edits ] (CVE-2022-50494)

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-132 advisory.

    It has been discovered that on some AMD CPUs, the RAS (Return Address Stack, also called RAP - Return     Address Predictor - in some AMD documentation, and RSB - Return Stack Buffer - in Intel terminology) is     dynamically partitioned between non-idle threads.  This allows an attacker to control speculative     execution on the adjacent thread. (CVE-2022-27672)

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

    ovl: Use buf flexible array for memcpy() destination (CVE-2022-49743)

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

    mm/uffd: fix pte marker when fork() without fork event (CVE-2022-49744)

    The upstream bug report describes this issue as follows:

    A flaw found in the Linux Kernel in RDS (Reliable Datagram Sockets) protocol. The     rds_rm_zerocopy_callback() uses list_entry() on the head of a list causing a type confusion. Local user     can trigger this with rds_message_put(). Type confusion leads to `struct rds_msg_zcopy_info *info`     actually points to something else that is potentially controlled by local user. It is known how to trigger     this, which causes an OOB access, and a lock corruption. (CVE-2023-1078)

    A flaw was found in the Framebuffer Console (fbcon) in the Linux Kernel. When providing a font->width and     font->height greater than 32 to the fbcon_set_font, since there are no checks in place, a shift-out-of-     bounds occurs, leading to undefined behavior and possible denial of service. (CVE-2023-3161)

    brcm_nvram_parse in drivers/nvmem/brcm_nvram.c lacks check of the return value of kzalloc() and will cause     the NULL Pointer Dereference (CVE-2023-3359)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in vcs_read in drivers/tty/vt/vc_screen.c in vc_screen in the Linux     Kernel. In this flaw an attacker with local user access may lead to a system crash or a leak of internal     kernel information. (CVE-2023-3567)
