Bottlerocket: kernel-5.15: security update to 2.1.0

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 427923

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rtnetlink: Correct nested
 IFLA_VF_VLAN_LIST attribute validation Each attribute inside a nested IFLA_VF_VLAN_LIST is assumed to be a
 struct ifla_vf_vlan_info so the size of such attribute needs to be at least of sizeof(struct
 ifla_vf_vlan_info) which is 14 bytes. The current size validation in do_setvfinfo is against NLA_HDRLEN (4
 bytes) which is less than sizeof(struct ifla_vf_vlan_info) so this validation is not enough and a too
 small attribute might be cast to a struct ifla_vf_vlan_info, this might result in an out of bands read
 access when accessing the saved (casted) entry in ivvl. (CVE-2024-36017)

Solution

Update the kernel-5.15 library and its related packages to version 2.1.0 or later.
