Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLED12 / SLED_SAP12 / SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:0634-1 advisory.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP5 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

- 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() (bsc#1194535).
- CVE-2017-5754: Fixed speculative side channel attacks on various CPU platforms (bsc#1068032).
- CVE-2022-36280: Fixed out-of-bounds memory access vulnerability found in vmwgfx driver (bsc#1203332).
- CVE-2023-0045: Fixed missing Flush IBP in ib_prctl_set (bsc#1207773).
- CVE-2022-4662: Fixed incorrect access control in the USB core subsystem that could lead a local user to crash the system (bsc#1206664).
- CVE-2023-0590: Fixed race condition in qdisc_graft() (bsc#1207795).
- CVE-2022-2991: Fixed an heap-based overflow in the lightnvm implemenation (bsc#1201420).
- CVE-2023-0266: Fixed a use-after-free vulnerability inside the ALSA PCM package.
SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_{READ|WRITE}32 was missing locks that could have been used in a use-after-free that could have resulted in a priviledge escalation to gain ring0 access from the system user (bsc#1207134).
- CVE-2022-47929: Fixed NULL pointer dereference bug in the traffic control subsystem (bsc#1207237).
