New kernel packages are available for Slackware 14.2 to fix a security issue.

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Integer signedness error in the oz_hcd_get_desc_cnf function in drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozhcd.c in the     OZWPAN driver in the Linux kernel through 4.0.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted packet. (CVE-2015-4001)

  - drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozusbsvc1.c in the OZWPAN driver in the Linux kernel through 4.0.5 does not ensure     that certain length values are sufficiently large, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (system crash or large loop) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted packet, related to     the (1) oz_usb_rx and (2) oz_usb_handle_ep_data functions. (CVE-2015-4002)

  - The oz_usb_handle_ep_data function in drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozusbsvc1.c in the OZWPAN driver in the Linux     kernel through 4.0.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and system     crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2015-4003)

  - The OZWPAN driver in the Linux kernel through 4.0.5 relies on an untrusted length field during packet     parsing, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a     denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2015-4004)

  - arch/arm64/kernel/sys.c in the Linux kernel before 4.0 allows local users to bypass the 'strict page     permissions' protection mechanism and modify the system-call table, and consequently gain privileges, by     leveraging write access. (CVE-2015-8967)

  - The ecryptfs_privileged_open function in fs/ecryptfs/kthread.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6.3 allows     local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (stack memory consumption) via vectors     involving crafted mmap calls for /proc pathnames, leading to recursive pagefault handling. (CVE-2016-1583)

  - In android for MSM, Firefox OS for MSM, QRD Android, with all Android releases from CAF using the Linux     kernel, a buffer overread is observed in nl80211_set_station when user space application sends attribute     NL80211_ATTR_LOCAL_MESH_POWER_MODE with data of size less than 4 bytes (CVE-2017-11089)

  - In all Qualcomm products with Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, during DMA allocation, due     to wrong data type of size, allocation size gets truncated which makes allocation succeed when it should     fail. (CVE-2017-9725)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel where refcount leak in llcp_sock_bind() causing use-after-free     which might lead to privilege escalations. (CVE-2020-25670)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel, where a refcount leak in llcp_sock_connect() causing use-after-     free which might lead to privilege escalations. (CVE-2020-25671)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux kernel where non-blocking socket in llcp_sock_connect() leads to leak     and eventually hanging-up the system. (CVE-2020-25673)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.10. drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c has a use-after-     free because the ctx is reached via the ctx_list in some ucma_migrate_id situations where ucma_close is     called, aka CID-f5449e74802c. (CVE-2020-36385)

  - Improper access control in BlueZ may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information     disclosure via adjacent access. (CVE-2021-0129)

  - There is a flaw reported in the Linux kernel in versions before 5.9 in     drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_sgdma.c in nouveau_sgdma_create_ttm in Nouveau DRM subsystem. The issue     results from the lack of validating the existence of an object prior to performing operations on the     object. An attacker with a local account with a root privilege, can leverage this vulnerability to     escalate privileges and execute code in the context of the kernel. (CVE-2021-20292)

  - A heap out-of-bounds write affecting Linux since v2.6.19-rc1 was discovered in net/netfilter/x_tables.c.
    This allows an attacker to gain privileges or cause a DoS (via heap memory corruption) through user name     space (CVE-2021-22555)

  - A race condition was discovered in get_old_root in fs/btrfs/ctree.c in the Linux kernel through 5.11.8. It     allows attackers to cause a denial of service (BUG) because of a lack of locking on an extent buffer     before a cloning operation, aka CID-dbcc7d57bffc. (CVE-2021-28964)

  - BPF JIT compilers in the Linux kernel through 5.11.12 have incorrect computation of branch displacements,     allowing them to execute arbitrary code within the kernel context. This affects     arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c and arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp32.c. (CVE-2021-29154)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.7. usbip_sockfd_store in     drivers/usb/usbip/stub_dev.c allows attackers to cause a denial of service (GPF) because the stub-up     sequence has race conditions during an update of the local and shared status, aka CID-9380afd6df70.
    (CVE-2021-29265)

  - An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory write flaw was found in list_devices in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c in the Multi-     device driver module in the Linux kernel before 5.12. A bound check failure allows an attacker with     special user (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) privilege to gain access to out-of-bounds memory leading to a system crash or     a leak of internal kernel information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system     availability. (CVE-2021-31916)

  - net/bluetooth/hci_request.c in the Linux kernel through 5.12.2 has a race condition for removal of the HCI     controller. (CVE-2021-32399)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.11.14 has a use-after-free in cipso_v4_genopt in net/ipv4/cipso_ipv4.c because     the CIPSO and CALIPSO refcounting for the DOI definitions is mishandled, aka CID-ad5d07f4a9cd. This leads     to writing an arbitrary value. (CVE-2021-33033)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.10.11. PI futexes have a kernel stack use-after-free     during fault handling, allowing local users to execute code in the kernel, aka CID-34b1a1ce1458.
    (CVE-2021-3347)

  - fs/seq_file.c in the Linux kernel 3.16 through 5.13.x before 5.13.4 does not properly restrict seq buffer     allocations, leading to an integer overflow, an Out-of-bounds Write, and escalation to root by an     unprivileged user, aka CID-8cae8cd89f05. (CVE-2021-33909)

  - net/can/bcm.c in the Linux kernel through 5.12.10 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from     kernel stack memory because parts of a data structure are uninitialized. (CVE-2021-34693)

  - A flaw was found in the Nosy driver in the Linux kernel. This issue allows a device to be inserted twice     into a doubly-linked list, leading to a use-after-free when one of these devices is removed. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. Versions     before kernel 5.12-rc6 are affected (CVE-2021-3483)

  - A flaw double-free memory corruption in the Linux kernel HCI device initialization subsystem was found in     the way user attach malicious HCI TTY Bluetooth device. A local user could use this flaw to crash the     system. This flaw affects all the Linux kernel versions starting from 3.13. (CVE-2021-3564)

  - A use-after-free in function hci_sock_bound_ioctl() of the Linux kernel HCI subsystem was found in the way     user calls ioct HCIUNBLOCKADDR or other way triggers race condition of the call hci_unregister_dev()     together with one of the calls hci_sock_blacklist_add(), hci_sock_blacklist_del(), hci_get_conn_info(),     hci_get_auth_info(). A privileged local user could use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their     privileges on the system. This flaw affects the Linux kernel versions prior to 5.13-rc5. (CVE-2021-3573)
