In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/irdma: Cap MSIX used to online CPUs + 1 The irdma driver can use a maximum number of msix vectors equal to num_online_cpus() + 1 and the kernel warning stack below is shown if that number is exceeded. The kernel throws a warning as the driver tries to update the affinity hint with a CPU mask greater than the max CPU IDs. Fix this by capping the MSIX vectors to num_online_cpus() + 1.

This itself seems a bit sketchy,     but the real problem with GCC12 is that it is moving the actual reads/writes around at will as though they     were independent operations when in truth they are not, but the compiler can't know that. When looking at     the assembly dumps for many of these routines its possible to see very clean, but not strictly in program     order operations occurring as the compiler would be free to do if these weren't actually register     reads/write operations. Its possible to suppress the timeout with a liberal bit of dma_mb()'s sprinkled     around but the device still seems unable to reliably send/receive data. A better plan is to use the safer     readl/writel everywhere. Since this partially reverts an older commit, which notes the use of the relaxed     variants for performance reasons. I would suggest that any performance problems ---truncated---     (CVE-2022-49194)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: isotp: sanitize CAN ID checks in     isotp_bind() Syzbot created an environment that lead to a state machine status that can not be reached     with a compliant CAN ID address configuration. The provided address information consisted of CAN ID     0x6000001 and 0xC28001 which both boil down to 11 bit CAN IDs 0x001 in sending and receiving. Sanitize the     SFF/EFF CAN ID values before performing the address checks. (CVE-2022-49269)

If an SMCRv2 device is found. SMCv2 based link group and link will be assigned to the     connection. Then assumed that some buffer assignment errors happen later in the CLC handshake, such as RMB     registration failure, server will give up SMCRv2 and try SMCRv1 device instead. But the resources assigned     to the connection won't be reset. When server tries SMCRv1 device, the connection creation process will be     executed again. Since conn->lnk has been assigned when trying SMCRv2, it will not be set to the correct     SMCRv1 link in smcr_lgr_conn_assign_link(). So in such situation, conn->lgr points to correct SMCRv1 link     group but conn->lnk points to the SMCRv2 link mistakenly. Then in smc_clc_send_confirm_accept(),     conn->rmb_desc->mr[link->link_idx] will be accessed. Since the link->link_idx is not correct, the related     MR may not have been initialized, so crash happens. | Try SMCRv2 device first | |-> conn->lgr: assign     existed SMCRv2 link group; | |-> conn->link: assign existed SMCRv2 link (link_idx may be 1 in     SMC_LGR_SYMMETRIC); | |-> sndbuf & RMB creation fails, quit; | | Try SMCRv1 device then | |-> conn->lgr:

In addition, it is better to reset the connection and     clean the resources assigned if trying SMCRv2 failed in buffer creation or registration. (CVE-2023-53382)

This itself seems a bit sketchy,     but the real problem with GCC12 is that it is moving the actual reads/writes around at will as though they     were independent operations when in truth they are not, but the compiler can't know that. When looking at     the assembly dumps for many of these routines its possible to see very clean, but not strictly in program     order operations occurring as the compiler would be free to do if these weren't actually register     reads/write operations. Its possible to suppress the timeout with a liberal bit of dma_mb()'s sprinkled     around but the device still seems unable to reliably send/receive data. A better plan is to use the safer     readl/writel everywhere. Since this partially reverts an older commit, which notes the use of the relaxed     variants for performance reasons. I would suggest that any performance problems ---truncated---     (CVE-2022-49194)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: isotp: sanitize CAN ID checks in     isotp_bind() Syzbot created an environment that lead to a state machine status that can not be reached     with a compliant CAN ID address configuration. The provided address information consisted of CAN ID     0x6000001 and 0xC28001 which both boil down to 11 bit CAN IDs 0x001 in sending and receiving. Sanitize the     SFF/EFF CAN ID values before performing the address checks. (CVE-2022-49269)

If an SMCRv2 device is found. SMCv2 based link group and link will be assigned to the     connection. Then assumed that some buffer assignment errors happen later in the CLC handshake, such as RMB     registration failure, server will give up SMCRv2 and try SMCRv1 device instead. But the resources assigned     to the connection won't be reset. When server tries SMCRv1 device, the connection creation process will be     executed again. Since conn->lnk has been assigned when trying SMCRv2, it will not be set to the correct     SMCRv1 link in smcr_lgr_conn_assign_link(). So in such situation, conn->lgr points to correct SMCRv1 link     group but conn->lnk points to the SMCRv2 link mistakenly. Then in smc_clc_send_confirm_accept(),     conn->rmb_desc->mr[link->link_idx] will be accessed. Since the link->link_idx is not correct, the related     MR may not have been initialized, so crash happens. | Try SMCRv2 device first | |-> conn->lgr: assign     existed SMCRv2 link group; | |-> conn->link: assign existed SMCRv2 link (link_idx may be 1 in     SMC_LGR_SYMMETRIC); | |-> sndbuf & RMB creation fails, quit; | | Try SMCRv1 device then | |-> conn->lgr:

In addition, it is better to reset the connection and     clean the resources assigned if trying SMCRv2 failed in buffer creation or registration. (CVE-2023-53382)

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.

  - RDMA/irdma: Cap MSIX used to online CPUs + 1 The irdma driver can use a maximum number of msix vectors     equal to num_online_cpus() + 1 and the kernel warning stack below is shown if that number is exceeded. The     kernel throws a warning as the driver tries to update the affinity hint with a CPU mask greater than the     max CPU IDs. Fix this by capping the MSIX vectors to num_online_cpus() + 1.
