Description

The Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the CIQ crlsa-2021_3057 advisory.

* kernel: race condition in net/can/bcm.c leads to local privilege escalation (CVE-2021-3609)

* kernel: Improper handling of VM_IO|VM_PFNMAP vmas in KVM can bypass RO checks (CVE-2021-22543)
