In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: stmmac: fix oops when split header is enabled For GMAC4, when split header is enabled, in some rare cases, the hardware does not fill buf2 of the first descriptor with payload. Thus we cannot assume buf2 is always fully filled if it is not the last descriptor. Otherwise, the length of buf2 of the second descriptor will be calculated wrong and cause an oops: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff00019246bfc0 ... x2 : 0000000000000040 x1 : ffff00019246bfc0 x0 : ffff00009246c000 Call trace: dcache_inval_poc+0x28/0x58 (P) dma_direct_sync_single_for_cpu+0x38/0x6c __dma_sync_single_for_cpu+0x34/0x6c stmmac_napi_poll_rx+0x8f0/0xb60 __napi_poll.constprop.0+0x30/0x144 net_rx_action+0x160/0x274 handle_softirqs+0x1b8/0x1fc ... To fix this, the PL bit-field in RDES3 register is used for all descriptors, whether it is the last descriptor or not.

However, brelse() is called by udf_rename(), too. So, b_count on buffer_head becomes     unbalanced.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: rndis_host: Secure rndis_query     check against int overflow Variables off and len typed as uint32 in rndis_query function are controlled by     incoming RNDIS response message thus their value may be manipulated. Setting off to a unexpectetly large     value will cause the sum with len and 8 to overflow and pass the implemented validation step. Consequently     the response pointer will be referring to a location past the expected buffer boundaries allowing     information leakage e.g. via RNDIS_OID_802_3_PERMANENT_ADDRESS OID. (CVE-2023-54110)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mtd: spi-nor: Fix shift-out-of-bounds     in spi_nor_set_erase_type spi_nor_set_erase_type() was used either to set or to mask out an erase type.
    When we used it to mask out an erase type a shift-out-of-bounds was hit: UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in     drivers/mtd/spi-nor/core.c:2237:24 shift exponent 4294967295 is too large for 32-bit type 'int' The     setting of the size_{shift, mask} and of the opcode are unnecessary when the erase size is zero, as     throughout the code just the erase size is considered to determine whether an erase type is supported or     not. Setting the opcode to 0xFF was wrong too as nobody guarantees that 0xFF is an unused opcode. Thus     when masking out an erase type, just set the erase size to zero. This will fix the shift-out-of-bounds.

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.
