Synopsis

The AlmaLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1789898700 advisory.

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ceph: fix possible deadlock when holding Fwb to get inline_data 1, mount with wsync. 2, create a file with O_RDWR, and the request was sent to mds.0: ceph_atomic_open()--> ceph_mdsc_do_request(openc) finish_open(file, dentry, ceph_open)--> ceph_open()--> ceph_init_file()--> ceph_init_file_info()--> ceph_uninline_data()--> { ... if (inline_version == 1 || /* initial version, no data */ inline_version == CEPH_INLINE_NONE) goto out_unlock; ... } The inline_version will be 1, which is the initial version for the new create file. And here the ci->i_inline_version will keep with 1, it's buggy. 3, buffer write to the file immediately:
ceph_write_iter()--> ceph_get_caps(file, need=Fw, want=Fb, ...); generic_perform_write()--> a_ops->write_begin()--> ceph_write_begin()--> netfs_write_begin()--> netfs_begin_read()--> netfs_rreq_submit_slice()--> netfs_read_from_server()--> rreq->netfs_ops->issue_read()--> ceph_netfs_issue_read()--> { ... if (ci->i_inline_version != CEPH_INLINE_NONE && ceph_netfs_issue_op_inline(subreq)) return; ... } ceph_put_cap_refs(ci, Fwb); The ceph_netfs_issue_op_inline() will send a getattr(Fsr) request to mds.1. 4, then the mds.1 will request the rd lock for CInode::filelock from the auth mds.0, the mds.0 will do the CInode::filelock state transation from excl --> sync, but it need to revoke the Fxwb caps back from the clients. While the kernel client has aleady held the Fwb caps and waiting for the getattr(Fsr). It's deadlock! URL:
https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/55377 (CVE-2022-49296)

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Fix reading strings from synthetic events The follow commands caused a crash: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # echo 's:open char file[]' > dynamic_events # echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:file=filename:onchange($file).trace(open,$file)' > events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/trigger' # echo 1 > events/synthetic/open/enable BOOM! The problem is that the synthetic event field char file[] will read the value given to it as a string without any memory checks to make sure the address is valid. The above example will pass in the user space address and the sythetic event code will happily call strlen() on it and then strscpy() where either one will cause an oops when accessing user space addresses. Use the helper functions from trace_kprobe and trace_eprobe that can read strings safely (and actually succeed when the address is from user space and the memory is mapped in). Now the above can show: packagekitd-1721 [000] ...2. 104.597170: open:
file=/usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/cmake.attr in:imjournal-978 [006] ...2. 104.599642: open:
file=/var/lib/rsyslog/imjournal.state.tmp packagekitd-1721 [000] ...2. 104.626308: open:
file=/usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/debuginfo.attr (CVE-2022-50255)

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hwrng: core - Fix page fault dead lock on mmap-ed hwrng There is a dead-lock in the hwrng device read path. This triggers when the user reads from /dev/hwrng into memory also mmap-ed from /dev/hwrng. The resulting page fault triggers a recursive read which then dead-locks. Fix this by using a stack buffer when calling copy_to_user. (CVE-2023-52615)

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fscache: Use wait_on_bit() to wait for the freeing of relinquished volume The freeing of relinquished volume will wake up the pending volume acquisition by using wake_up_bit(), however it is mismatched with wait_var_event() used in fscache_wait_on_volume_collision() and it will never wake up the waiter in the wait-queue because these two functions operate on different wait-queues. According to the implementation in fscache_wait_on_volume_collision(), if the wake-up of pending acquisition is delayed longer than 20 seconds (e.g., due to the delay of on-demand fd closing), the first wait_var_event_timeout() will timeout and the following wait_var_event() will hang forever as shown below: FS-Cache: Potential volume collision new=00000024 old=00000022 ...... INFO: task mount:1148 blocked for more than 122 seconds. Not tainted 6.1.0-rc6+ #1 task:mount state:D stack:0 pid:1148 ppid:1 Call Trace: <TASK> __schedule+0x2f6/0xb80 schedule+0x67/0xe0 fscache_wait_on_volume_collision.cold+0x80/0x82 __fscache_acquire_volume+0x40d/0x4e0 erofs_fscache_register_volume+0x51/0xe0 [erofs] erofs_fscache_register_fs+0x19c/0x240 [erofs] erofs_fc_fill_super+0x746/0xaf0 [erofs] vfs_get_super+0x7d/0x100 get_tree_nodev+0x16/0x20 erofs_fc_get_tree+0x20/0x30 [erofs] vfs_get_tree+0x24/0xb0 path_mount+0x2fa/0xa90 do_mount+0x7c/0xa0
__x64_sys_mount+0x8b/0xe0 do_syscall_64+0x30/0x60 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0 Considering that wake_up_bit() is more selective, so fix it by using wait_on_bit() instead of wait_var_event() to wait for the freeing of relinquished volume. In addition because waitqueue_active() is used in wake_up_bit() and clear_bit() doesn't imply any memory barrier, use clear_and_wake_up_bit() to add the missing memory barrier between cursor->flags and waitqueue_active(). (CVE-2023-52982)

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: ISO: fix iso_conn related locking and validity issues sk->sk_state indicates whether iso_pi(sk)->conn is valid. Operations that check/update sk_state and access conn should hold lock_sock, otherwise they can race. The order of taking locks is hci_dev_lock > lock_sock > iso_conn_lock, which is how it is in connect/disconnect_cfm -> iso_conn_del -> iso_chan_del. Fix locking in iso_connect_cis/bis and sendmsg/recvmsg to take lock_sock around updating sk_state and conn. iso_conn_del must not occur during iso_connect_cis/bis, as it frees the iso_conn. Hold hdev->lock longer to prevent that. This should not reintroduce the issue fixed in commit 241f51931c35 (Bluetooth: ISO: Avoid circular locking dependency), since the we acquire locks in order.
We retain the fix in iso_sock_connect to release lock_sock before iso_connect_* acquires hdev->lock.
Similarly for commit 6a5ad251b7cd (Bluetooth: ISO: Fix possible circular locking dependency). We retain the fix in iso_conn_ready to not acquire iso_conn_lock before lock_sock. iso_conn_add shall return iso_conn with valid hcon. Make it so also when reusing an old CIS connection waiting for disconnect timeout (see __iso_sock_close where conn->hcon is set to NULL).
