An update of the linux package has been released.

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6900-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition,     leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or     possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-6270)

    It was discovered that the HugeTLB file system component of the Linux Kernel contained a NULL pointer     dereference vulnerability. A privileged attacker could possibly use this to to cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2024-0841)

    It was discovered that the Open vSwitch implementation in the Linux kernel could overflow its stack during     recursive action operations under certain conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service (system crash). (CVE-2024-1151)

    Gui-Dong Han discovered that the software RAID driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition,     leading to an integer overflow vulnerability. A privileged attacker could possibly use this to cause a     denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-23307)

    Bai Jiaju discovered that the Xceive XC4000 silicon tuner device driver in the Linux kernel contained a     race condition, leading to an integer overflow vulnerability. An attacker could possibly use this to cause     a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-24861)

    Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to     compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems:

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - tracing/trigger: Fix to return error if failed to alloc snapshot Fix register_snapshot_trigger() to return     error code if it failed to allocate a snapshot instead of 0 (success). Unless that, it will register     snapshot trigger without an error. (CVE-2024-26920)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1783362244 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: extcon: Modify extcon device to be     created after driver data is set Currently, someone can invoke the sysfs such as state_show()     intermittently before dev_set_drvdata() is done. And it can be a cause of kernel Oops because of edev is     Null at that time. So modified the driver registration to after setting drviver data. - Oops's backtrace.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tick/nohz: unexport __init-annotated     tick_nohz_full_setup() EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text section is     freed up after the initialization. Hence, modules cannot use symbols annotated __init. The access to a     freed symbol may end up with kernel panic. modpost used to detect it, but it had been broken for a decade.
    Commit 28438794aba4 (modpost: fix section mismatch check for exported init/exit sections) fixed it so     modpost started to warn it again, then this showed up: MODPOST vmlinux.symvers WARNING: modpost:
    vmlinux.o(___ksymtab_gpl+tick_nohz_full_setup+0x0): Section mismatch in reference from the variable
    __ksymtab_tick_nohz_full_setup to the function .init.text:tick_nohz_full_setup() The symbol     tick_nohz_full_setup is exported and annotated __init Fix this by removing the __init annotation of     tick_nohz_full_setup or drop the export. Drop the export because tick_nohz_full_setup() is only called     from the built-in code in kernel/sched/isolation.c. (CVE-2022-49675)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ata: libata-core: fix NULL pointer     deref in ata_host_alloc_pinfo() In an unlikely (and probably wrong?) case that the 'ppi' parameter of     ata_host_alloc_pinfo() points to an array starting with a NULL pointer, there's going to be a kernel oops     as the 'pi' local variable won't get reassigned from the initial value of NULL. Initialize 'pi' instead to     '&ata_dummy_port_info' to fix the possible kernel oops for good... Found by Linux Verification Center     (linuxtesting.org) with the SVACE static analysis tool. (CVE-2022-49731)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bridge: switchdev: Fix memory leaks     when changing VLAN protocol The bridge driver can offload VLANs to the underlying hardware either via     switchdev or the 8021q driver. When the former is used, the VLAN is marked in the bridge driver with the     'BR_VLFLAG_ADDED_BY_SWITCHDEV' private flag. To avoid the memory leaks mentioned in the cited commit, the     bridge driver will try to delete a VLAN via the 8021q driver if the VLAN is not marked with the previously     mentioned flag. When the VLAN protocol of the bridge changes, switchdev drivers are notified via the     'SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_BRIDGE_VLAN_PROTOCOL' attribute, but the 8021q driver is also called to add the     existing VLANs with the new protocol and delete them with the old protocol. In case the VLANs were     offloaded via switchdev, the above behavior is both redundant and buggy. Redundant because the VLANs are     already programmed in hardware and drivers that support VLAN protocol change (currently only mlx5) change     the protocol upon the switchdev attribute notification. Buggy because the 8021q driver is called despite     these VLANs being marked with 'BR_VLFLAG_ADDED_BY_SWITCHDEV'. This leads to memory leaks [1] when the     VLANs are deleted. Fix by not calling the 8021q driver for VLANs that were already programmed via     switchdev.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: capabilities: fix potential memleak on     error path from vfs_getxattr_alloc() In cap_inode_getsecurity(), we will use vfs_getxattr_alloc() to     complete the memory allocation of tmpbuf, if we have completed the memory allocation of tmpbuf, but failed     to call handler->get(...), there will be a memleak in below logic: |-- ret =     (int)vfs_getxattr_alloc(mnt_userns, ...) | /* ^^^ alloc for tmpbuf */ |-- value = krealloc(*xattr_value,     error + 1, flags) | /* ^^^ alloc memory */ |-- error = handler->get(handler, ...) | /* error! */ |--
    *xattr_value = value | /* xattr_value is &tmpbuf (memory leak!) */ So we will try to free(tmpbuf) after     vfs_getxattr_alloc() fails to fix it. [PM: subject line and backtrace tweaks] (CVE-2022-49890)
