Bottlerocket: kernel-5.10, kernel-5.15: security update to 2.8.4

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 428046

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: mptcp: pm: avoid possible UaF when
selecting endp select_local_address() and select_signal_address() both select an endpoint entry from the
list inside an RCU protected section, but return a reference to it, to be read later on. If the entry is
dereferenced after the RCU unlock, reading info could cause a Use-after-Free. A simple solution is to copy
the required info while inside the RCU protected section to avoid any risk of UaF later. The address ID
might need to be modified later to handle the ID0 case later, so a copy seems OK to deal with.
