high Nessus Plugin ID 352091

Synopsis

The CentOS Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The CentOS Linux 8.4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare CENTOS8.4:CLSA-2026:1777614651 advisory.

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: virtio_net: fix xdp_rxq_info bug after suspend/resume The following sequence currently causes a driver bug warning when using virtio_net: # ip link set eth0 up # echo mem > /sys/power/state (or e.g. # rtcwake -s 10 -m mem) <resume> # ip link set eth0 down Missing register, driver bug WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 375 at net/core/xdp.c:138 xdp_rxq_info_unreg+0x58/0x60 Call trace: xdp_rxq_info_unreg+0x58/0x60 virtnet_close+0x58/0xac
__dev_close_many+0xac/0x140 __dev_change_flags+0xd8/0x210 dev_change_flags+0x24/0x64 do_setlink+0x230/0xdd0 ... This happens because virtnet_freeze() frees the receive_queue completely (including struct xdp_rxq_info) but does not call xdp_rxq_info_unreg(). Similarly, virtnet_restore() sets up the receive_queue again but does not call xdp_rxq_info_reg(). Actually, parts of virtnet_freeze_down() and virtnet_restore_up() are almost identical to virtnet_close() and virtnet_open(): only the calls to xdp_rxq_info_(un)reg() are missing. This means that we can fix this easily and avoid such problems in the future by just calling virtnet_close()/open() from the freeze/restore handlers. Aside from adding the missing xdp_rxq_info calls the only difference is that the refill work is only cancelled if netif_running(). However, this should not make any functional difference since the refill work should only be active if the network interface is actually up. (CVE-2022-49687)

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/srpt: Fix a use-after-free Change the LIO port members inside struct srpt_port from regular members into pointers. Allocate the LIO port data structures from inside srpt_make_tport() and free these from inside srpt_make_tport(). Keep struct srpt_device as long as either an RDMA port or a LIO target port is associated with it. This patch decouples the lifetime of struct srpt_port (controlled by the RDMA core) and struct srpt_port_id (controlled by LIO). This patch fixes the following KASAN complaint: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in srpt_enable_tpg+0x31/0x70 [ib_srpt] Read of size 8 at addr ffff888141cc34b8 by task check/5093 Call Trace:

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: Fix double release compute pasid If kfd_process_device_init_vm returns failure after vm is converted to compute vm and vm->pasid set to compute pasid, KFD will not take pdd->drm_file reference. As a result, drm close file handler maybe called to release the compute pasid before KFD process destroy worker to release the same pasid and set vm->pasid to zero, this generates below WARNING backtrace and NULL pointer access. Add helper amdgpu_amdkfd_gpuvm_set_vm_pasid and call it at the last step of kfd_process_device_init_vm, to ensure vm pasid is the original pasid if acquiring vm failed or is the compute pasid with pdd->drm_file reference taken to avoid double release same pasid. amdgpu: Failed to create process VM object ida_free called for id=32770 which is not allocated.

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ACPI: processor: idle: Check acpi_fetch_acpi_dev() return value The return value of acpi_fetch_acpi_dev() could be NULL, which would cause a NULL pointer dereference to occur in acpi_device_hid(). [ rjw: Subject and changelog edits, added empty line after if () ] (CVE-2022-50327)

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFSD: Protect against send buffer overflow in NFSv2 READ Since before the git era, NFSD has conserved the number of pages held by each nfsd thread by combining the RPC receive and send buffers into a single array of pages. This works because there are no cases where an operation needs a large RPC Call message and a large RPC Reply at the same time. Once an RPC Call has been received, svc_process() updates svc_rqst::rq_res to describe the part of rq_pages that can be used for constructing the Reply. This means that the send buffer (rq_res) shrinks when the received RPC record containing the RPC Call is large. A client can force this shrinkage on TCP by sending a correctly- formed RPC Call header contained in an RPC record that is excessively large. The full maximum payload size cannot be constructed in that case. (CVE-2022-50410)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
