In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: cfg80211: Fix use after free for wext Key information in wext.connect is not reset on (re)connect and can hold data from a previous connection. Reset key data to avoid that drivers or mac80211 incorrectly detect a WEP connection request and access the freed or already reused memory. Additionally optimize cfg80211_sme_connect() and avoid an useless schedule of conn_work.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pid: take a reference when     initializing `cad_pid` During boot, kernel_init_freeable() initializes `cad_pid` to the init task's struct     pid. Later on, we may change `cad_pid` via a sysctl, and when this happens proc_do_cad_pid() will     increment the refcount on the new pid via get_pid(), and will decrement the refcount on the old pid via     put_pid(). As we never called get_pid() when we initialized `cad_pid`, we decrement a reference we never     incremented, can therefore free the init task's struct pid early. As there can be dangling references to     the struct pid, we can later encounter a use-after-free (e.g. when delivering signals). This was spotted     when fuzzing v5.13-rc3 with Syzkaller, but seems to have been around since the conversion of `cad_pid` to     struct pid in commit 9ec52099e4b8 ([PATCH] replace cad_pid by a struct pid) from the pre-KASAN stone age     of v2.6.19. Fix this by getting a reference to the init task's struct pid when we assign it to `cad_pid`.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i2c: i801: Don't generate an interrupt     on bus reset Now that the i2c-i801 driver supports interrupts, setting the KILL bit in a attempt to     recover from a timed out transaction triggers an interrupt. Unfortunately, the interrupt handler     (i801_isr) is not prepared for this situation and will try to process the interrupt as if it was signaling     the end of a successful transaction. In the case of a block transaction, this can result in an out-of-     range memory access. This condition was reproduced several times by syzbot:

Interrupts will be enabled again for the following transaction. (CVE-2021-47153)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: target: Fix WRITE_SAME No Data     Buffer crash In newer version of the SBC specs, we have a NDOB bit that indicates there is no data buffer     that gets written out. If this bit is set using commands like sg_write_same --ndob we will crash in     target_core_iblock/file's execute_write_same handlers when we go to access the se_cmd->t_data_sg because     its NULL. This patch adds a check for the NDOB bit in the common WRITE SAME code because we don't support     it. And, it adds a check for zero SG elements in each handler in case the initiator tries to send a normal     WRITE SAME with no data buffer. (CVE-2022-21546)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5e: IPoIB, Block PKEY     interfaces with less rx queues than parent A user is able to configure an arbitrary number of rx queues     when creating an interface via netlink. This doesn't work for child PKEY interfaces because the child     interface uses the parent receive channels. Although the child shares the parent's receive channels, the     number of rx queues is important for the channel_stats array: the parent's rx channel index is used to     access the child's channel_stats. So the array has to be at least as large as the parent's rx queue size     for the counting to work correctly and to prevent out of bound accesses. This patch checks for the     mentioned scenario and returns an error when trying to create the interface. The error is propagated to     the user. (CVE-2022-48883)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ath9k_htc: fix potential out of bounds     access with invalid rxstatus->rs_keyix The rxstatus->rs_keyix eventually gets passed to test_bit() so we     need to ensure that it is within the bitmap. drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/common.c:46     ath9k_cmn_rx_accept() error: passing untrusted data 'rx_stats->rs_keyix' to 'test_bit()' (CVE-2022-49503)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm raid: fix accesses beyond end of     raid member array On dm-raid table load (using raid_ctr), dm-raid allocates an array     rs->devs[rs->raid_disks] for the raid device members. rs->raid_disks is defined by the number of raid     metadata and image tupples passed into the target's constructor. In the case of RAID layout changes being     requested, that number can be different from the current number of members for existing raid sets as     defined in their superblocks. Example RAID layout changes include: - raid1 legs being added/removed -     raid4/5/6/10 number of stripes changed (stripe reshaping) - takeover to higher raid level (e.g. raid5 ->     raid6) When accessing array members, rs->raid_disks must be used in control loops instead of the     potentially larger value in rs->md.raid_disks. Otherwise it will cause memory access beyond the end of the     rs->devs array. Fix this by changing code that is prone to out-of-bounds access. Also fix     validate_raid_redundancy() to validate all devices that are added. Also, use braces to help clean up     raid_iterate_devices(). The out-of-bounds memory accesses was discovered using KASAN. This commit was     verified to pass all LVM2 RAID tests (with KASAN enabled). (CVE-2022-49674)

  - 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)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm: Fix use-after-free read in     drm_getunique() There is a time-of-check-to-time-of-use error in drm_getunique() due to retrieving     file_priv->master prior to locking the device's master mutex. An example can be seen in the crash report     of the use-after-free error found by Syzbot:
    https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=148d2f1dfac64af52ffd27b661981a540724f803 In the report, the master     pointer was used after being freed. This is because another process had acquired the device's master mutex     in drm_setmaster_ioctl(), then overwrote fpriv->master in drm_new_set_master(). The old value of     fpriv->master was subsequently freed before the mutex was unlocked. To fix this, we lock the device's     master mutex before retrieving the pointer from from fpriv->master. This patch passes the Syzbot     reproducer test. (CVE-2021-47280)

The problem was in missing     validation check. hdw->unit_number is initialized with -1 and then if init table walk fails this value     remains unchanged. Since code blindly uses this member for array indexing adding sanity check is the     easiest fix for that. hdw->workpoll initialization moved upper to prevent warning in __flush_work.

If this bit is set using commands like sg_write_same --ndob we will crash in     target_core_iblock/file's execute_write_same handlers when we go to access the se_cmd->t_data_sg because     its NULL. This patch adds a check for the NDOB bit in the common WRITE SAME code because we don't support     it. And, it adds a check for zero SG elements in each handler in case the initiator tries to send a normal     WRITE SAME with no data buffer. (CVE-2022-21546)

  - 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-2022-23042)

  - A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel NILFS file system was found in the way user triggers function     security_inode_alloc to fail with following call to function nilfs_mdt_destroy. A local user could use     this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-2978)

  - The Linux kernel NFSD implementation prior to versions 5.19.17 and 6.0.2 are vulnerable to buffer     overflow. NFSD tracks the number of pages held by each NFSD thread by combining the receive and send     buffers of a remote procedure call (RPC) into a single array of pages. A client can force the send buffer     to shrink by sending an RPC message over TCP with garbage data added at the end of the message. The RPC     message with garbage data is still correctly formed according to the specification and is passed forward     to handlers. Vulnerable code in NFSD is not expecting the oversized request and writes beyond the     allocated buffer space. CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H (CVE-2022-43945)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: capabilities: fix undefined behavior     in bit shift for CAP_TO_MASK Shifting signed 32-bit value by 31 bits is undefined, so changing significant     bit to unsigned.

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1765463110 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: Reject attempts to consume or     refresh inactive gfn_to_pfn_cache Reject kvm_gpc_check() and kvm_gpc_refresh() if the cache is inactive.
    Not checking the active flag during refresh is particularly egregious, as KVM can end up with a valid,     inactive cache, which can lead to a variety of use-after-free bugs, e.g. consuming a NULL kernel pointer     or missing an mmu_notifier invalidation due to the cache not being on the list of gfns to invalidate.
    Note, active needs to be set if and only if the cache is on the list of caches, i.e. is reachable via     mmu_notifier events. If a relevant mmu_notifier event occurs while the cache is active but not on the     list, KVM will not acquire the cache's lock and so will not serailize the mmu_notifier event with active     users and/or kvm_gpc_refresh(). A race between KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_SHARED_INFO and KVM_XEN_HVM_EVTCHN_SEND     can be exploited to trigger the bug. 1.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: coresight: Clear the connection field     properly coresight devices track their connections (output connections) and hold a reference to the     fwnode. When a device goes away, we walk through the devices on the coresight bus and make sure that the     references are dropped. This happens both ways: a) For all output connections from the device, drop the     reference to the target device via coresight_release_platform_data() b) Iterate over all the devices on     the coresight bus and drop the reference to fwnode if *this* device is the target of the output     connection, via coresight_remove_conns()->coresight_remove_match(). However, the coresight_remove_match()     doesn't clear the fwnode field, after dropping the reference, this causes use-after-free and additional     refcount drops on the fwnode. e.g., if we have two devices, A and B, with a connection, A -> B. If we     remove B first, B would clear the reference on B, from A via coresight_remove_match(). But when A is     removed, it still has a connection with fwnode still pointing to B. Thus it tries to drops the reference     in coresight_release_platform_data(), raising the bells like : [ 91.990153] ------------[ cut here     ]------------ [ 91.990163] refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE 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 Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - wifi: cfg80211: Fix use after free for wext Key information in wext.connect is not reset on (re)connect     and can hold data from a previous connection. Reset key data to avoid that drivers or mac80211 incorrectly     detect a WEP connection request and access the freed or already reused memory. Additionally optimize     cfg80211_sme_connect() and avoid an useless schedule of conn_work. (CVE-2023-53153)

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

An update of the linux package has been released.
