Bottlerocket: kernel-5.15: security update to 2.1.0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 427926

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: net: fix out-of-bounds access in
ops_init net_alloc_generic is called by net_alloc, which is called without any locking. It reads
max_gen_ptrs, which is changed under pernet_ops_rwsem. It is read twice, first to allocate an array, then
to set s.len, which is later used to limit the bounds of the array access. It is possible that the array
is allocated and another thread is registering a new pernet ops, increments max_gen_ptrs, which is then
used to set s.len with a larger than allocated length for the variable array. Fix it by reading
max_gen_ptrs only once in net_alloc_generic. If max_gen_ptrs is later incremented, it will be caught in
net_assign_generic. (CVE-2024-36883)

Solution

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