The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2022:1988 advisory.

  - In uvc_scan_chain_forward of uvc_driver.c, there is a possible linked list corruption due to an unusual     root cause. This could lead to local escalation of privilege in the kernel with no additional execution     privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android     kernelAndroid ID: A-111893654References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2020-0404)

  - IBM Power9 (AIX 7.1, 7.2, and VIOS 3.1) processors could allow a local user to obtain sensitive     information from the data in the L1 cache under extenuating circumstances. IBM X-Force ID: 189296.
    (CVE-2020-4788)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 4.4 through 5.7.1. drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c has an integer     overflow if k_ascii is called several times in a row, aka CID-b86dab054059. NOTE: Members in the community     argue that the integer overflow does not lead to a security issue in this case. (CVE-2020-13974)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux kernel, where a use-after-frees in nouveau's postclose() handler could     happen if removing device (that is not common to remove video card physically without power-off, but same     happens if unbind the driver). (CVE-2020-27820)

  - In bpf_skb_change_head of filter.c, there is a possible out of bounds read due to a use after free. This     could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is     not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID: A-154177719References:
    Upstream kernel (CVE-2021-0941)

  - An out-of-bounds memory write flaw was found in the Linux kernel's joystick devices subsystem in versions     before 5.9-rc1, in the way the user calls ioctl JSIOCSBTNMAP. This flaw allows a local user to crash the     system or possibly escalate their privileges on the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is     to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-3612)

  - An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory read flaw was found in the Qualcomm IPC router protocol in the Linux kernel.
    A missing sanity check allows a local attacker 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-2021-3743)

  - A memory leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the ccp_run_aes_gcm_cmd() function in     drivers/crypto/ccp/ccp-ops.c, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption).
    This vulnerability is similar with the older CVE-2019-18808. (CVE-2021-3744)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth subsystem in the way user calls connect to     the socket and disconnect simultaneously due to a race condition. This flaw allows a user to crash the     system or escalate their privileges. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality,     integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-3752)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux SCTP stack. A blind attacker may be able to kill an existing SCTP     association through invalid chunks if the attacker knows the IP-addresses and port numbers being used and     the attacker can send packets with spoofed IP addresses. (CVE-2021-3772)

  - A flaw in netfilter could allow a network-connected attacker to infer openvpn connection endpoint     information for further use in traditional network attacks. (CVE-2021-3773)

  - A memory leak flaw in the Linux kernel's hugetlbfs memory usage was found in the way the user maps some     regions of memory twice using shmget() which are aligned to PUD alignment with the fault of some of the     memory pages. A local user could use this flaw to get unauthorized access to some data. (CVE-2021-4002)

  - A read-after-free memory flaw was found in the Linux kernel's garbage collection for Unix domain socket     file handlers in the way users call close() and fget() simultaneously and can potentially trigger a race     condition. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system.
    This flaw affects Linux kernel versions prior to 5.16-rc4. (CVE-2021-4083)

  - An out of memory bounds write flaw (1 or 2 bytes of memory) in the Linux kernel NFS subsystem was found in     the way users use mirroring (replication of files with NFS). A user, having access to the NFS mount, could     potentially use this flaw to crash the system or escalate privileges on the system. (CVE-2021-4157)

  - An unprivileged write to the file handler flaw in the Linux kernel's control groups and namespaces     subsystem was found in the way users have access to some less privileged process that are controlled by     cgroups and have higher privileged parent process. It is actually both for cgroup2 and cgroup1 versions of     control groups. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the     system. (CVE-2021-4197)

  - A use-after-free read flaw was found in sock_getsockopt() in net/core/sock.c due to SO_PEERCRED and     SO_PEERGROUPS race with listen() (and connect()) in the Linux kernel. In this flaw, an attacker with a     user privileges may crash the system or leak internal kernel information. (CVE-2021-4203)

  - A flaw in the processing of received ICMP errors (ICMP fragment needed and ICMP redirect) in the Linux     kernel functionality was found to allow the ability to quickly scan open UDP ports. This flaw allows an     off-path remote user to effectively bypass the source port UDP randomization. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to confidentiality and possibly integrity, because software that relies on UDP source     port randomization are indirectly affected as well. (CVE-2021-20322)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the ARM SIGPAGE functionality of Linux Kernel v5.4.66     and v5.4.54. The latest version (5.11-rc4) seems to still be vulnerable. A userland application can read     the contents of the sigpage, which can leak kernel memory contents. An attacker can read a process's     memory at a specific offset to trigger this vulnerability. This was fixed in kernel releases: 4.14.222     4.19.177 5.4.99 5.10.17 5.11 (CVE-2021-21781)

  - LFENCE/JMP (mitigation V2-2) may not sufficiently mitigate CVE-2017-5715 on some AMD CPUs.
    (CVE-2021-26401)

  - 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)

  - hso_free_net_device in drivers/net/usb/hso.c in the Linux kernel through 5.13.4 calls unregister_netdev     without checking for the NETREG_REGISTERED state, leading to a use-after-free and a double free.
    (CVE-2021-37159)

  - prealloc_elems_and_freelist in kernel/bpf/stackmap.c in the Linux kernel before 5.14.12 allows     unprivileged users to trigger an eBPF multiplication integer overflow with a resultant out-of-bounds     write. (CVE-2021-41864)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel FireDTV media card driver, where the user     calls the CA_SEND_MSG ioctl. This flaw allows a local user of the host machine to crash the system or     escalate privileges on the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality,     integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-42739)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel for powerpc before 5.14.15. It allows a malicious KVM guest to     crash the host, when the host is running on Power8, due to an arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S     implementation bug in the handling of the SRR1 register values. (CVE-2021-43056)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.14.15. There is an array-index-out-of-bounds flaw in     the detach_capi_ctr function in drivers/isdn/capi/kcapi.c. (CVE-2021-43389)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.15.2, mwifiex_usb_recv in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/usb.c allows     an attacker (who can connect a crafted USB device) to cause a denial of service (skb_over_panic).
    (CVE-2021-43976)

  - A use-after-free exists in drivers/tee/tee_shm.c in the TEE subsystem in the Linux kernel through 5.15.11.
    This occurs because of a race condition in tee_shm_get_from_id during an attempt to free a shared memory     object. (CVE-2021-44733)

  - In the IPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel before 5.13.3, net/ipv6/output_core.c has an information     leak because of certain use of a hash table which, although big, doesn't properly consider that IPv6-based     attackers can typically choose among many IPv6 source addresses. (CVE-2021-45485)

  - In the IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel before 5.12.4, net/ipv4/route.c has an information leak     because the hash table is very small. (CVE-2021-45486)

  - Non-transparent sharing of branch predictor selectors between contexts in some Intel(R) Processors may     allow an authorized user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-0001)

  - Non-transparent sharing of branch predictor within a context in some Intel(R) Processors may allow an     authorized user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-0002)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A null pointer dereference in bond_ipsec_add_sa() may lead to local     denial of service. (CVE-2022-0286)

  - A flaw was found in the sctp_make_strreset_req function in net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c in the SCTP network     protocol in the Linux kernel with a local user privilege access. In this flaw, an attempt to use more     buffer than is allocated triggers a BUG_ON issue, leading to a denial of service (DOS). (CVE-2022-0322)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's FUSE filesystem in the way a user triggers write().
    This flaw allows a local user to gain unauthorized access to data from the FUSE filesystem, resulting in     privilege escalation. (CVE-2022-1011)

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5096 advisory.

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation,     denial of service or information leaks. CVE-2020-29374 Jann Horn of Google reported a flaw in Linux's     virtual memory management. A parent and child process initially share all their memory, but when either     writes to a shared page, the page is duplicated and unshared (copy-on-write). However, in case an     operation such as vmsplice() required the kernel to take an additional reference to a shared page, and a     copy-on-write occurs during this operation, the kernel might have accessed the wrong process's memory. For     some programs, this could lead to an information leak or data corruption. This issue was already fixed for     most architectures, but not on MIPS and System z. This update corrects that. CVE-2020-36322,     CVE-2021-28950 The syzbot tool found that the FUSE (filesystem-in-user-space) implementation did not     correctly handle a FUSE server returning invalid attributes for a file. A local user permitted to run a     FUSE server could use this to cause a denial of service (crash). The original fix for this introduced a     different potential denial of service (infinite loop in kernel space), which has also been fixed.
    CVE-2021-3640 Lin Ma discovered a race condiiton in the Bluetooth protocol implementation that can lead to     a use-after-free. A local user could exploit this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or     crash) or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2021-3744, CVE-2021-3764 minihanshen reported bugs in the     ccp driver for AMD Cryptographic Coprocessors that could lead to a resource leak. On systems using this     driver, a local user could exploit this to cause a denial of service. CVE-2021-3752 Likang Luo of NSFOCUS     Security Team discovered a flaw in the Bluetooth L2CAP implementation that can lead to a user-after-free.
    A local user could exploit this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for     privilege escalation. CVE-2021-3760, CVE-2021-4202 Lin Ma discovered race conditions in the NCI (NFC     Controller Interface) driver, which could lead to a use-after-free. A local user could exploit this to     cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation. This driver     is not enabled in Debian's official kernel configurations. CVE-2021-3772 A flaw was found in the SCTP     protocol implementation, which would allow a networked attacker to break an SCTP association. The attacker     would only need to know or guess the IP addresses and ports for the association. CVE-2021-4002 It was     discovered that hugetlbfs, the virtual filesystem used by applications to allocate huge pages in RAM, did     not flush the CPU's TLB in one case where it was necessary. In some circumstances a local user would be     able to read and write huge pages after they are freed and reallocated to a different process. This could     lead to privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks. CVE-2021-4083 Jann Horn reported a     race condition in the local (Unix) sockets garbage collector, that can lead to use-after-free. A local     user could exploit this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for     privilege escalation. CVE-2021-4135 A flaw was found in the netdevsim driver which would lead to an     information leak. This driver is not enabled in Debian's official kernel configurations. CVE-2021-4155     Kirill Tkhai discovered a data leak in the way the XFS_IOC_ALLOCSP IOCTL in the XFS filesystem allowed for     a size increase of files with unaligned size. A local attacker can take advantage of this flaw to leak     data on the XFS filesystem. CVE-2021-4203 Jann Horn reported a race condition in the local (Unix) sockets     implementation that can lead to a use-after-free. A local user could exploit this to leak sensitive     information from the kernel. CVE-2021-20317 It was discovered that the timer queue structure could become     corrupt, leading to waiting tasks never being woken up. A local user with certain privileges could exploit     this to cause a denial of service (system hang). CVE-2021-20321 A race condition was discovered in the     overlayfs filesystem driver. A local user with access to an overlayfs mount and to its underlying upper     directory could exploit this for privilege escalation. CVE-2021-20322 An information leak was discovered     in the IPv4 implementation. A remote attacker could exploit this to quickly discover which UDP ports a     system is using, making it easier for them to carry out a DNS poisoning attack against that system.
    CVE-2021-22600 The syzbot tool found a flaw in the packet socket (AF_PACKET) implementation which could     lead to incorrectly freeing memory. A local user with CAP_NET_RAW capability (in any user namespace) could     exploit this for denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation.
    CVE-2021-28711, CVE-2021-28712, CVE-2021-28713 (XSA-391) Juergen Gross reported that malicious PV backends     can cause a denial of service to guests being serviced by those backends via high frequency events, even     if those backends are running in a less privileged environment. CVE-2021-28714, CVE-2021-28715 (XSA-392)     Juergen Gross discovered that Xen guests can force the Linux netback driver to hog large amounts of kernel     memory, resulting in denial of service. CVE-2021-38300 Piotr Krysiuk discovered a flaw in the classic BPF     (cBPF) JIT compiler for MIPS architectures. A local user could exploit this to excute arbitrary code in     the kernel. This issue is mitigated by setting sysctl net.core.bpf_jit_enable=0, which is the default. It     is *not* mitigated by disabling unprivileged use of eBPF. CVE-2021-39685 Szymon Heidrich discovered a     buffer overflow vulnerability in the USB gadget subsystem, resulting in information disclosure, denial of     service or privilege escalation. CVE-2021-39686 A race condition was discovered in the Android binder     driver, that could lead to incorrect security checks. On systems where the binder driver is loaded, a     local user could exploit this for privilege escalation. CVE-2021-39698 Linus Torvalds reported a flaw in     the file polling implementation, which could lead to a use-after-free. A local user could exploit this for     denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2021-39713 The     syzbot tool found a race condition in the network scheduling subsystem which could lead to a use-after-     free. A local user could exploit this for denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for     privilege escalation. CVE-2021-41864 An integer overflow was discovered in the Extended BPF (eBPF)     subsystem. A local user could exploit this for denial of service (memory corruption or crash), or possibly     for privilege escalation. This can be mitigated by setting sysctl kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled=1,     which disables eBPF use by unprivileged users. CVE-2021-42739 A heap buffer overflow was discovered in the     firedtv driver for FireWire-connected DVB receivers. A local user with access to a firedtv device could     exploit this for denial of service (memory corruption or crash), or possibly for privilege escalation.
    CVE-2021-43389 The Active Defense Lab of Venustech discovered a flaw in the CMTP subsystem as used by     Bluetooth, which could lead to an out-of-bounds read and object type confusion. A local user with     CAP_NET_ADMIN capability in the initial user namespace could exploit this for denial of service (memory     corruption or crash), or possibly for privilege escalation. CVE-2021-43975 Brendan Dolan-Gavitt reported a     flaw in the hw_atl_utils_fw_rpc_wait() function in the aQuantia AQtion ethernet device driver which can     result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. CVE-2021-43976 Zekun Shen and Brendan     Dolan-Gavitt discovered a flaw in the mwifiex_usb_recv() function of the Marvell WiFi-Ex USB Driver. An     attacker able to connect a crafted USB device can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of     service. CVE-2021-44733 A race condition was discovered in the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)     subsystem for Arm processors, which could lead to a use-after-free. A local user permitted to access a TEE     device could exploit this for denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or possibly for privilege     escalation. CVE-2021-45095 It was discovered that the Phone Network protocol (PhoNet) driver has a     reference count leak in the pep_sock_accept() function. CVE-2021-45469 Wenqing Liu reported an out-of-     bounds memory access in the f2fs implementation if an inode has an invalid last xattr entry. An attacker     able to mount a specially crafted image can take advantage of this flaw for denial of service.
    CVE-2021-45480 A memory leak flaw was discovered in the __rds_conn_create() function in the RDS (Reliable     Datagram Sockets) protocol subsystem. CVE-2022-0001 (INTEL-SA-00598) Researchers at VUSec discovered that     the Branch History Buffer in Intel processors can be exploited to create information side channels with     speculative execution. This issue is similar to Spectre variant 2, but requires additional mitigations on     some processors. This can be exploited to obtain sensitive information from a different security context,     such as from user-space to the kernel, or from a KVM guest to the kernel. CVE-2022-0002 (INTEL-SA-00598)     This is a similar issue to CVE-2022-0001, but covers exploitation within a security context, such as from     JIT-compiled code in a sandbox to hosting code in the same process. This can be partly mitigated by     disabling eBPF for unprivileged users with the sysctl: kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled=2. This update     does that by default. CVE-2022-0322 Eiichi Tsukata discovered a flaw in the sctp_make_strreset_req()     function in the SCTP network protocol implementation which can result in denial of service. CVE-2022-0330     Sushma Venkatesh Reddy discovered a missing GPU TLB flush in the i915 driver, resulting in denial of     service or privilege escalation. CVE-2022-0435 Samuel Page and Eric Dumazet reported a stack overflow in     the networking module for the Transparent Inter-Process Communication (TIPC) protocol, resulting in denial     of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code. CVE-2022-0487 A use-after-free was discovered     in the MOXART SD/MMC Host Controller support driver. This flaw does not impact the Debian binary packages     as CONFIG_MMC_MOXART is not set. CVE-2022-0492 Yiqi Sun and Kevin Wang reported that the cgroup-v1     subsystem does not properly restrict access to the release-agent feature. A local user can take advantage     of this flaw for privilege escalation and bypass of namespace isolation. CVE-2022-0617 butt3rflyh4ck     discovered a NULL pointer dereference in the UDF filesystem. A local user that can mount a specially     crafted UDF image can use this flaw to crash the system. CVE-2022-0644 Hao Sun reported a missing check     for file read permission in the finit_module() and kexec_file_load() system calls. The security impact of     this is unclear, since these system calls are usually only available to the root user. CVE-2022-22942 It     was discovered that wrong file file descriptor handling in the VMware Virtual GPU driver (vmwgfx) could     result in information leak or privilege escalation. CVE-2022-24448 Lyu Tao reported a flaw in the NFS     implementation in the Linux kernel when handling requests to open a directory on a regular file, which     could result in a information leak. CVE-2022-24959 A memory leak was discovered in the     yam_siocdevprivate() function of the YAM driver for AX.25, which could result in denial of service.
    CVE-2022-25258 Szymon Heidrich reported the USB Gadget subsystem lacks certain validation of interface OS     descriptor requests, resulting in memory corruption. CVE-2022-25375 Szymon Heidrich reported that the     RNDIS USB gadget lacks validation of the size of the RNDIS_MSG_SET command, resulting in information leak     from kernel memory. For the oldstable distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed in version     4.19.232-1. This update additionally includes many more bug fixes from stable updates 4.19.209-4.19.232     inclusive. We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.

The remote openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2022:0768-1 advisory.

    The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP1 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.


    Transient execution side-channel attacks attacking the Branch History Buffer (BHB),     named 'Branch Target Injection' and 'Intra-Mode Branch History Injection' are now mitigated.

    The following security bugs were fixed:

    - CVE-2022-0001: Fixed Branch History Injection vulnerability (bsc#1191580).
    - CVE-2022-0002: Fixed Intra-Mode Branch Target Injection vulnerability (bsc#1191580).
    - CVE-2022-0847: Fixed a vulnerability were a local attackers could overwrite data in arbitrary (read-     only) files (bsc#1196584).
    - CVE-2022-0617: Fixed a null pointer dereference in UDF file system functionality. A local user could     crash the system by triggering udf_file_write_iter() via a malicious UDF image. (bsc#1196079)
    - CVE-2022-0644: Fixed a denial of service by a local user. A assertion failure could be triggered in     kernel_read_file_from_fd() (bsc#1196155).
    - CVE-2021-44879: In gc_data_segment() in fs/f2fs/gc.c, special files were not considered, which lead to a     move_data_page NULL pointer dereference (bsc#1195987).
    - CVE-2022-24959: Fixed a memory leak in yam_siocdevprivate() in drivers/net/hamradio/yam.c (bsc#1195897).
    - CVE-2022-0487: A use-after-free vulnerability was found in rtsx_usb_ms_drv_remove() in     drivers/memstick/host/rtsx_usb_ms.c (bsc#1194516).
    - CVE-2022-0492: Fixed a privilege escalation related to cgroups v1 release_agent feature, which allowed     bypassing namespace isolation unexpectedly (bsc#1195543).
    - CVE-2022-24448: Fixed an issue in fs/nfs/dir.c. If an application sets the O_DIRECTORY flag, and tries     to open a regular file, nfs_atomic_open() performs a regular lookup. If a regular file is found, ENOTDIR     should have occured, but the server instead returned uninitialized data in the file descriptor     (bsc#1195612).

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:1408-1 advisory.

  - LFENCE/JMP (mitigation V2-2) may not sufficiently mitigate CVE-2017-5715 on some AMD CPUs.
    (CVE-2021-26401)

  - Non-transparent sharing of branch predictor selectors between contexts in some Intel(R) Processors may     allow an authorized user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-0001)

  - Non-transparent sharing of branch predictor within a context in some Intel(R) Processors may allow an     authorized user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-0002)

  - Racy interactions between dirty vram tracking and paging log dirty hypercalls Activation of log dirty mode     done by XEN_DMOP_track_dirty_vram (was named HVMOP_track_dirty_vram before Xen 4.9) is racy with ongoing     log dirty hypercalls. A suitably timed call to XEN_DMOP_track_dirty_vram can enable log dirty while     another CPU is still in the process of tearing down the structures related to a previously enabled log     dirty mode (XEN_DOMCTL_SHADOW_OP_OFF). This is due to lack of mutually exclusive locking between both     operations and can lead to entries being added in already freed slots, resulting in a memory leak.
    (CVE-2022-26356)

  - race in VT-d domain ID cleanup Xen domain IDs are up to 15 bits wide. VT-d hardware may allow for only     less than 15 bits to hold a domain ID associating a physical device with a particular domain. Therefore     internally Xen domain IDs are mapped to the smaller value range. The cleaning up of the housekeeping     structures has a race, allowing for VT-d domain IDs to be leaked and flushes to be bypassed.
    (CVE-2022-26357)

  - IOMMU: RMRR (VT-d) and unity map (AMD-Vi) handling issues T[his CNA information record relates to multiple     CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.] Certain PCI devices in a     system might be assigned Reserved Memory Regions (specified via Reserved Memory Region Reporting, RMRR)     for Intel VT-d or Unity Mapping ranges for AMD-Vi. These are typically used for platform tasks such as     legacy USB emulation. Since the precise purpose of these regions is unknown, once a device associated with     such a region is active, the mappings of these regions need to remain continuouly accessible by the     device. This requirement has been violated. Subsequent DMA or interrupts from the device may have     unpredictable behaviour, ranging from IOMMU faults to memory corruption. (CVE-2022-26358, CVE-2022-26359,     CVE-2022-26360, CVE-2022-26361)

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

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2022-2022-039 advisory.

    Amazon Linux has been made aware of a potential Branch Target Injection (BTI) issue (sometimes referred to     as Spectre variant 2). This is a known cross-domain transient execution attack where a third party may     seek to cause a disclosure gadget to be speculatively executed after an indirect branch prediction.
    Generally, actors who attempt transient execution attacks do not have access to the data on the hosts they     attempt to access (e.g. where privilege-level isolation is in place). For such attacks to succeed, actors     need to be able to run code on the (virtual) machine hosting the data in which they are interested.

    To mitigate this issue, Amazon Linux recommends that customers disable unprivileged eBPF.  This     configuration, having the unprivileged eBPF disabled, is the current default for most Linux distributions     and as of this advisory, is also the default for all Amazon Linux kernels.

    Specific mitigations for various CPUs are listed below.

    Intel CPUs:For Intel CPUs, this applies to all instance types that have CPUs with eIBRS support. They     are:*6i* (all sizes), c5d.metal, c5.metal, g4dn.metal, i3en.metal, m5*.metal, r5*.metal

    Vectors outside of unprivileged eBPF are not currently known, and Intel recommends disabling unprivileged     BPF, as mentioned above. However, optionally enabling spectre_v2=eibrs,lfence on Linux kernel command     line on the instance types mentioned above, would provide additional protection.

    AMD CPUs:As part of the investigation triggered by this issue, AMD now recommends using a different     software mitigation inside the Linux kernel, which the Amazon Linux kernel is enabling by default. This     means that the Linux kernel will use the generic retpoline software mitigation, instead of the specialized     AMD one, on AMD instances (*5a*). This is done by default, and no administrator action is needed.

    ARM CPUs:The Amazon Linux kernel now enables, by default, a software mitigation for this issue, on all     ARM-based EC2 instance types.

    Non-transparent sharing of branch predictor selectors between contexts in some Intel(R) Processors may     allow an authorized user to potentially enable information disclosure. (CVE-2022-0001)

    Non-transparent sharing of branch predictor within a context in some Intel(r) Processors may allow an     authorized user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-0002)

    A flaw was found in the way the flags member of the new pipe buffer structure was lacking proper     initialization in copy_page_to_iter_pipe and push_pipe functions in the Linux kernel and could thus     contain stale values. An unprivileged local user could use this flaw to write to pages in the page cache     backed by read only files and as such escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-0847)References     to CVE-2021-26401, CVE-2021-26341, CVE-2022-23960 and CVE-2022-1055 have been added after the original     release of this advisory, however those vulnerabilities were fixed by the packages referenced by this     advisory's initial release on 2022-03-07
