Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:3609-1 advisory.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP3 Azure kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

- CVE-2022-39190: Fixed an issue that was discovered in net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c and could cause a denial of service upon binding to an already bound chain (bnc#1203117).
- CVE-2022-39188: Fixed race condition in include/asm-generic/tlb.h where a device driver can free a page while it still has stale TLB entries (bnc#1203107).
- CVE-2022-36879: Fixed an issue in xfrm_expand_policies in net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c where a refcount could be dropped twice (bnc#1201948).
- CVE-2022-3028: Fixed race condition that was found in the IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem) (bnc#1202898).
- CVE-2022-2977: Fixed reference counting for struct tpm_chip (bsc#1202672).
- CVE-2022-2905: Fixed tnum_range usage on array range checking for poke descriptors (bsc#1202564, bsc#1202860).
- CVE-2022-2663: Fixed an issue that was found in nf_conntrack_irc where the message handling could be confused and incorrectly matches the message (bnc#1202097).
- CVE-2022-2639: Fixed an integer coercion error that was found in the openvswitch kernel module (bnc#1202154).
- CVE-2022-26373: Fixed non-transparent sharing of return predictor targets between contexts in some Intel Processors (bnc#1201726).
- CVE-2022-2588: Fixed use-after-free in cls_route (bsc#1202096).
- CVE-2022-20369: Fixed out of bounds write in v4l2_m2m_querybuf of v4l2-mem2mem.c (bnc#1202347).
- CVE-2022-20368: Fixed slab-out-of-bounds access in packet_recvmsg() (bsc#1202346).
- CVE-2021-4203: Fixed use-after-free read flaw that was found in sock_getsockopt() in net/core/sock.c due to SO_PEERCRED and SO_PEERGROUPS race with listen() (bnc#1194535).
- CVE-2021-4155: Fixed a data leak flaw that was found in the way XFS_IOC_ALLOCSP IOCTL in the XFS filesystem (bnc#1194272).
- CVE-2020-36516: Fixed an issue in the mixed IPID assignment method where an attacker was able to inject data into or terminate a victim's TCP session (bnc#1196616).
- CVE-2020-27784: Fixed a vulnerability that was found in printer_ioctl() printer_ioctl() when accessing a deallocated instance (bnc#1202895).
- CVE-2016-3695: Fixed an issue inside the einj_error_inject function in drivers/acpi/apei/einj.c that allowed users to simulate hardware errors and consequently cause a denial of service (bnc#1023051).
- CVE-2022-3303: Fixed a race condition in the sound subsystem due to improper locking (bnc#1203769).
- CVE-2022-41218: Fixed an use-after-free caused by refcount races in drivers/media/dvb-core/dmxdev.c (bnc#1202960).
- CVE-2022-3239: Fixed an use-after-free in the video4linux driver that could lead a local user to able to crash the system or escalate their privileges (bnc#1203552).
- CVE-2022-41848: Fixed a race condition and resultant use-after-free if a physically proximate attacker removes a PCMCIA device while calling ioctl (bnc#1203987).
- CVE-2022-41849: Fixed a race condition and resultant use-after-free if a physically proximate attacker removes a USB device while calling open (bnc#1203992).
- CVE-2022-2586: Fixed a use-after-free which can be triggered when a nft table is deleted (bnc#1202095).
- CVE-2022-41222: Fixed a use-after-free via a stale TLB because an rmap lock is not held during a PUD move (bnc#1203622).
- CVE-2022-2503: Fixed a bug in dm-verity, device-mapper table reloads allowed users with root privileges to switch out the target with an equivalent dm-linear target and bypass verification till reboot. This allowed root to bypass LoadPin and can be used to load untrusted and unverified kernel modules and firmware, which implies arbitrary kernel execution and persistence for peripherals that do not verify firmware updates (bnc#1202677).
- CVE-2020-16119: Fixed a use-after-free vulnerability exploitable by a local attacker due to reuse of a DCCP socket. (bnc#1177471)
