The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.149-99.161. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.15-2024-039 advisory.

    dm_table_create in drivers/md/dm-table.c in the Linux kernel through 6.7.4 can attempt to (in     alloc_targets) allocate more than INT_MAX bytes, and crash, because of a missing check for struct     dm_ioctl.target_count. (CVE-2023-52429)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    net: prevent mss overflow in skb_segment()

    Once again syzbot is able to crash the kernel in skb_segment() [1]

    GSO_BY_FRAGS is a forbidden value, but unfortunately the followingcomputation in skb_segment() can reach     it quite easily :

    mss = mss * partial_segs;

    65535 = 3 * 5 * 17 * 257, so many initial values of mss can lead toa bad final result.

    Make sure to limit segmentation so that the new mss value is smallerthan GSO_BY_FRAGS.

    pipe: wakeup wr_wait after setting max_usage (CVE-2023-52672)

    A vulnerability was found in vhost_new_msg in drivers/vhost/vhost.c in the Linux kernel, which does not     properly initialize memory in messages passed between virtual guests and the host operating system in the     vhost/vhost.c:vhost_new_msg() function. This issue can allow local privileged users to read some kernel     memory contents when reading from the /dev/vhost-net device file. (CVE-2024-0340)

    A vulnerability was reported in the Open vSwitch sub-component in the Linux Kernel. The flaw occurs when a     recursive operation of code push recursively calls into the code block. The OVS module does not validate     the stack depth, pushing too many frames and causing a stack overflow. As a result, this can lead to a     crash or other related issues. (CVE-2024-1151)

    A Speculative Race Condition (SRC) vulnerability that impacts modern CPU architectures supporting     speculative execution (related to Spectre V1) has been disclosed. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit     this vulnerability to disclose arbitrary data from the CPU using race conditions to access the speculative     executable code paths. (CVE-2024-2193)

    In btrfs_get_root_ref in fs/btrfs/disk-io.c in the Linux kernel through 6.7.1, there can be an assertion     failure and crash because a subvolume can be read out too soon after its root item is inserted upon     subvolume creation. (CVE-2024-23850)

    copy_params in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c in the Linux kernel through 6.7.1 can attempt to allocate more than     INT_MAX bytes, and crash, because of a missing param_kernel->data_size check. This is related to     ctl_ioctl. (CVE-2024-23851)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    netfilter: nft_set_rbtree: skip end interval element from gc

    rbtree lazy gc on insert might collect an end interval element that hasbeen just added in this     transactions, skip end interval elements thatare not yet active. (CVE-2024-26581)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    sched/membarrier: reduce the ability to hammer on sys_membarrier

    On some systems, sys_membarrier can be very expensive, causing overallslowdowns for everything.  So put a     lock on the path in order toserialize the accesses to prevent the ability for this to be called attoo high     of a frequency and saturate the machine. (CVE-2024-26602)
