Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:3311-1 advisory.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP5 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

- CVE-2022-40982: Fixed transient execution attack called 'Gather Data Sampling' (bsc#1206418).
- CVE-2023-0459: Fixed information leak in __uaccess_begin_nospec (bsc#1211738).
- CVE-2023-20569: Fixed side channel attack Inception or RAS Poisoning (bsc#1213287).
- CVE-2023-21400: Fixed several memory corruptions due to improper locking in io_uring (bsc#1213272).
- CVE-2023-2156: Fixed a flaw in the networking subsystem within the handling of the RPL protocol (bsc#1211131).
- CVE-2023-2166: Fixed NULL pointer dereference in can_rcv_filter (bsc#1210627).
- CVE-2023-31083: Fixed race condition in hci_uart_tty_ioctl (bsc#1210780).
- CVE-2023-3268: Fixed an out of bounds memory access flaw in relay_file_read_start_pos in the relayfs (bsc#1212502).
- CVE-2023-3567: Fixed a use-after-free in vcs_read in drivers/tty/vt/vc_screen.c (bsc#1213167).
- CVE-2023-3609: Fixed reference counter leak leading to overflow in net/sched (bsc#1213586).
- CVE-2023-3611: Fixed an out-of-bounds write in net/sched sch_qfq(bsc#1213585).
- CVE-2023-3776: Fixed improper refcount update in cls_fw leads to use-after-free (bsc#1213588).
- CVE-2023-38409: Fixed an issue in set_con2fb_map in drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c. Because an assignment occurs only for the first vc, the fbcon_registered_fb and fbcon_display arrays can be desynchronized in fbcon_mode_deleted (the con2fb_map points at the old fb_info) (bsc#1213417).
- CVE-2023-3863: Fixed a use-after-free flaw in nfc_llcp_find_local in net/nfc/llcp_core.c in NFC. This flaw allowed a local user with special privileges to impact a kernel information leak issue (bsc#1213601).
- CVE-2023-4004: Fixed improper element removal netfilter nft_set_pipapo (bsc#1213812).
