An update of the linux package has been released.

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:2140-1 advisory.

  - A regression exists in the Linux Kernel within KVM: nVMX that allowed for speculative execution attacks.
    L2 can carry out Spectre v2 attacks on L1 due to L1 thinking it doesn't need retpolines or IBPB after     running L2 due to KVM (L0) advertising eIBRS support to L1. An attacker at L2 with code execution can     execute code on an indirect branch on the host machine. We recommend upgrading to Kernel 6.2 or past     commit 2e7eab81425a (CVE-2022-2196)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, where unauthorized access to the execution of the setuid file with     capabilities was found in the Linux kernel's OverlayFS subsystem in how a user copies a capable file from     a nosuid mount into another mount. This uid mapping bug allows a local user to escalate their privileges     on the system. (CVE-2023-0386)

  - A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel Xircom 16-bit PCMCIA (PC-card) Ethernet driver was found.A local     user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.
    (CVE-2023-1670)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in xgene_hwmon_remove in drivers/hwmon/xgene-hwmon.c in the Hardware     Monitoring Linux Kernel Driver (xgene-hwmon). This flaw could allow a local attacker to crash the system     due to a race problem. This vulnerability could even lead to a kernel information leak problem.
    (CVE-2023-1855)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in btsdio_remove in drivers\bluetooth\btsdio.c in the Linux Kernel. In     this flaw, a call to btsdio_remove with an unfinished job, may cause a race problem leading to a UAF on     hdev devices. (CVE-2023-1989)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in ndlc_remove in drivers/nfc/st-nci/ndlc.c in the Linux Kernel. This flaw     could allow an attacker to crash the system due to a race problem. (CVE-2023-1990)

  - The Linux kernel allows userspace processes to enable mitigations by calling prctl with     PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL which disables the speculation feature as well as by using seccomp. We had noticed     that on VMs of at least one major cloud provider, the kernel still left the victim process exposed to     attacks in some cases even after enabling the spectre-BTI mitigation with prctl. The same behavior can be     observed on a bare-metal machine when forcing the mitigation to IBRS on boot command line. This happened     because when plain IBRS was enabled (not enhanced IBRS), the kernel had some logic that determined that     STIBP was not needed. The IBRS bit implicitly protects against cross-thread branch target injection.
    However, with legacy IBRS, the IBRS bit was cleared on returning to userspace, due to performance reasons,     which disabled the implicit STIBP and left userspace threads vulnerable to cross-thread branch target     injection against which STIBP protects. (CVE-2023-1998)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's udmabuf device driver. The specific flaw exists within a fault     handler. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a     memory access past the end of an array. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges     and execute arbitrary code in the context of the kernel. (CVE-2023-2008)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netdevsim device driver, within the scheduling of events. This     issue results from the improper management of a reference count. This may allow an attacker to create a     denial of service condition on the system. (CVE-2023-2019)

  - A vulnerability was found in compare_netdev_and_ip in drivers/infiniband/core/cma.c in RDMA in the Linux     Kernel. The improper cleanup results in out-of-boundary read, where a local user can utilize this problem     to crash the system or escalation of privilege. (CVE-2023-2176)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel Performance Events system can be exploited to achieve     local privilege escalation. The perf_group_detach function did not check the event's siblings'     attach_state before calling add_event_to_groups(), but remove_on_exec made it possible to call     list_del_event() on before detaching from their group, making it possible to use a dangling pointer     causing a use-after-free vulnerability. We recommend upgrading past commit     fd0815f632c24878e325821943edccc7fde947a2. (CVE-2023-2235)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.15.13, drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/steering/dr_domain.c     misinterprets the mlx5_get_uars_page return value (expects it to be NULL in the error case, whereas it is     actually an error pointer). (CVE-2023-23006)

  - The Linux kernel before 6.2.9 has a race condition and resultant use-after-free in     drivers/power/supply/da9150-charger.c if a physically proximate attacker unplugs a device.

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

    The Linux kernel before 6.2.9 has a race condition and resultant use-after-free in     drivers/net/ethernet/qualcomm/emac/emac.c if a physically proximate attacker unplugs an emac based     device.(CVE-2023-33203)

    In the Linux kernel through 6.3.1, a use-after-free in Netfilter nf_tables when processing batch requests     can be abused to perform arbitrary read and write operations on kernel memory. Unprivileged local users     can obtain root privileges. This occurs because anonymous sets are mishandled.(CVE-2023-32233)

    A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem in the way it handled the     extra inode size for extended attributes. This flaw could allow a privileged local user to cause a system     crash or other undefined behaviors.(CVE-2023-2513)

    A race condition vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's Qualcomm EMAC Gigabit Ethernet Controller     when the user physically removes the device before cleanup in the emac_remove function. This flaw can     eventually result in a use-after-free issue, possibly leading to a system crash or other undefined     behaviors.(CVE-2023-2483)

    A speculative pointer dereference problem exists in the Linux Kernel on the do_prlimit() function. The     resource argument value is controlled and is used in pointer arithmetic for the 'rlim' variable and can be     used to leak the contents. We recommend upgrading past version 6.1.8 or     commit739790605705ddcf18f21782b9c99ad7d53a8c11(CVE-2023-0458)

    An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernels traffic control (QoS) subsystem in     how a user triggers the qfq_change_class function with an incorrect MTU value of the network device used     as lmax. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the     system.(CVE-2023-2248)

    qfq_change_class in net/sched/sch_qfq.c in the Linux kernel before 6.2.13 allows an out-of-bounds write     because lmax can exceed QFQ_MIN_LMAX.(CVE-2023-31436)

    A use-after-free vulnerability was found in iscsi_sw_tcp_session_create in drivers/scsi/iscsi_tcp.c in     SCSI sub-component in the Linux Kernel. In this flaw an attacker could leak kernel internal     information.(CVE-2023-2162)

    Copy_from_user on 64-bit versions of the Linux kernel does not implement the __uaccess_begin_nospec     allowing a user to bypass the 'access_ok' check and pass a kernel pointer to copy_from_user(). This would     allow an attacker to leak information. We recommend upgrading beyond     commit74e19ef0ff8061ef55957c3abd71614ef0f42f47(CVE-2023-0459)

    A null pointer dereference issue was found in the sctp network protocol in net/sctp/stream_sched.c in     Linux Kernel. If stream_in allocation is failed, stream_out is freed which would further be accessed. A     local user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially cause a denial of     service.(CVE-2023-2177)

    A denial of service problem was found, due to a possible recursive locking scenario, resulting in a     deadlock in table_clear in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c in the Linux Kernel Device Mapper-Multipathing sub-     component.(CVE-2023-2269)

    An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernels XFS file system in how a user     restores an XFS image after failure (with a dirty log journal). This flaw allows a local user to crash or     potentially escalate their privileges on the system.(CVE-2023-2124)

    A vulnerability was found in compare_netdev_and_ip in drivers/infiniband/core/cma.c in RDMA in the Linux     Kernel. The improper cleanup results in out-of-boundary read, where a local user can utilize this problem     to crash the system or escalation of privilege.(CVE-2023-2176)

    An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's SLIMpro I2C device driver. The     userspace 'data-block[0]' variable was not capped to a number between 0-255 and was used as the size of     a memcpy, possibly writing beyond the end of dma_buffer. This flaw could allow a local privileged user to     crash the system or potentially achieve code execution.(CVE-2023-2194)

    The Linux kernel allows userspace processes to enable mitigations by calling prctl with     PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL which disables the speculation feature as well as by using seccomp. We had noticed     that on VMs of at least one major cloud provider, the kernel still left the victim process exposed to     attacks in some cases even after enabling the spectre-BTI mitigation with prctl. The same behavior can be     observed on a bare-metal machine when forcing the mitigation to IBRS on boot command line. This happened     because when plain IBRS was enabled (not enhanced IBRS), the kernel had some logic that determined that     STIBP was not needed. The IBRS bit implicitly protects against cross-thread branch target injection.
    However, with legacy IBRS, the IBRS bit was cleared on returning to userspace, due to performance reasons,     which disabled the implicit STIBP and left userspace threads vulnerable to cross-thread branch target     injection against which STIBP protects.(CVE-2023-1998)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's udmabuf device driver. The specific flaw exists within a fault     handler. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a     memory access past the end of an array. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges     and execute arbitrary code in the context of the kernel.(CVE-2023-2008)

    A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel io_uring system can be exploited to achieve local     privilege escalation. The io_file_get_fixed function lacks the presence of ctx-uring_lock which can     lead to a Use-After-Free vulnerability due a race condition with fixed files getting unregistered. We     recommend upgrading past commit da24142b1ef9fd5d36b76e36bab328a5b27523e8.(CVE-2023-1872)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in linux/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c of the netfilter subsystem.
    This flaw allows a local user to cause an out-of-bounds write issue.(CVE-2022-1015)

    An out-of-bounds(OOB) memory access vulnerability was found in vmwgfx driver in     drivers/gpu/vmxgfx/vmxgfx_kms.c in GPU component in the Linux kernel with device file '/dev/dri/renderD128     (or Dxxx)'. This flaw allows a local attacker with a user account on the system to gain privilege, causing     a denial of service(DoS).(CVE-2022-36280)

    An issue was discovered in arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.c in the Linux kernel before 6.2.8. nVMX on x86_64     lacks consistency checks for CR0 and CR4.(CVE-2023-30456)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in vhost_net_set_backend in drivers/vhost/net.c in virtio network     subcomponent in the Linux kernel due to a double fget. This flaw could allow a local attacker to crash the     system, and could even lead to a kernel information leak problem.(CVE-2023-1838)

    A flaw that boot CPU could be vulnerable for the speculative execution behavior kind of attacks in the     Linux kernel X86 CPU Power management options functionality was found in the way user resuming CPU from     suspend-to-RAM. A local user could use this flaw to potentially get unauthorized access to some memory of     the CPU similar to the speculative execution behavior kind of attacks.(CVE-2023-1637)

    A flaw was found in KVM. When calling the KVM_GET_DEBUGREGS ioctl, on 32-bit systems, there might be some     uninitialized portions of the kvm_debugregs structure that could be copied to userspace, causing an     information leak.(CVE-2023-1513)

    A double-free flaw was found in the Linux kernels TUN/TAP device driver functionality in how a user     registers the device when the register_netdevice function fails (NETDEV_REGISTER notifier). This flaw     allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.(CVE-2022-4744)

    Use After Free vulnerability in Linux kernel traffic control index filter (tcindex) allows Privilege     Escalation.The imperfect hash area can be updated while packets are traversing, which will cause a use-     after-free when 'tcf_exts_exec()' is called with the destroyed tcf_ext.A local attacker user can use     this vulnerability to elevate its privileges to root.This issue affects Linux Kernel: from 4.14 before git     commit ee059170b1f7e94e55fa6cadee544e176a6e59c2.(CVE-2023-1281)

    do_tls_getsockopt in net/tls/tls_main.c in the Linux kernel through 6.2.6 lacks a lock_sock call, leading     to a race condition (with a resultant use-after-free or NULL pointer dereference).(CVE-2023-28466)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernels core dump subsystem. This flaw allows a local user     to crash the system. Only if patch 390031c94211 ('coredump: Use the vma snapshot in fill_files_note') not     applied yet, then kernel could be affected.(CVE-2023-1249)
