An update of the linux package has been released.

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the kernel-5.14.0-347.el9 build changelog.

  - A stack overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TIPC protocol functionality in the way a user sends     a packet with malicious content where the number of domain member nodes is higher than the 64 allowed.
    This flaw allows a remote user to crash the system or possibly escalate their privileges if they have     access to the TIPC network. (CVE-2022-0435)

  - An issue was discovered in net/tipc/crypto.c in the Linux kernel before 5.14.16. The Transparent Inter-     Process Communication (TIPC) functionality allows remote attackers to exploit insufficient validation of     user-supplied sizes for the MSG_CRYPTO message type. (CVE-2021-43267)

  - 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)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.16.11. The mixed IPID assignment method with the     hash-based IPID assignment policy allows an off-path attacker to inject data into a victim's TCP session     or terminate that session. (CVE-2020-36516)

  - 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)
