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)
