    The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP2 RT kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.


    The following security bugs were fixed:

    - CVE-2021-33200: Enforcing incorrect limits for pointer arithmetic operations by the BPF verifier could     be abused to perform out-of-bounds reads and writes in kernel memory (bsc#1186484).
    - CVE-2021-33034: Fixed a use-after-free when destroying an hci_chan. This could lead to writing an     arbitrary values. (bsc#1186111)
    - CVE-2020-26139: Fixed a denial-of-service when an Access Point (AP) forwards EAPOL frames to other     clients even though the sender has not yet successfully authenticated to the AP. (bnc#1186062)
    - CVE-2021-23134: A Use After Free vulnerability in nfc sockets allowed local attackers to elevate their     privileges. (bnc#1186060)
    - CVE-2021-3491: Fixed a potential heap overflow in mem_rw(). This vulnerability is related to the     PROVIDE_BUFFERS operation, which allowed the MAX_RW_COUNT limit to be bypassed (bsc#1185642).
    - CVE-2021-32399: Fixed a race condition when removing the HCI controller (bnc#1184611).
    - CVE-2020-24586: The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and     Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that received fragments be cleared from memory after     (re)connecting to a network. Under the right circumstances this can be abused to inject arbitrary network     packets and/or exfiltrate user data (bnc#1185859).
    - CVE-2020-24587: The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and     Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that all fragments of a frame are encrypted under the same     key. An adversary can abuse this to decrypt selected fragments when another device sends fragmented frames     and the WEP, CCMP, or GCMP encryption key is periodically renewed (bnc#1185859 bnc#1185862).
    - CVE-2020-26147: The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 implementations reassemble fragments, even though some of     them were sent in plaintext. This vulnerability can be abused to inject packets and/or exfiltrate selected     fragments when another device sends fragmented frames and the WEP, CCMP, or GCMP data-confidentiality     protocol is used (bnc#1185859).
    - CVE-2020-24588: The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and     Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that the A-MSDU flag in the plaintext QoS header field is     authenticated. Against devices that support receiving non-SSP A-MSDU frames (which is mandatory as part of     802.11n), an adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets. (bnc#1185861)
    - CVE-2020-26145: An issue was discovered with Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305 4.4.4 devices. The WEP, WPA, WPA2,     and WPA3 implementations accept second (or subsequent) broadcast fragments even when sent in plaintext and     process them as full unfragmented frames. An adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets     independent of the network configuration. (bnc#1185860)
    - CVE-2020-26141: An issue was discovered in the ALFA driver for AWUS036H, where the Message Integrity     Check (authenticity) of fragmented TKIP frames was not verified. An adversary can abuse this to inject and     possibly decrypt packets in WPA or WPA2 networks that support the TKIP data-confidentiality protocol.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2021:2421-1 advisory.

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


    The following security bugs were fixed:

    - CVE-2021-22555: A heap out-of-bounds write was discovered in net/netfilter/x_tables.c (bnc#1188116 ).
    - CVE-2021-33909: Extremely large seq buffer allocations in seq_file could lead to buffer underruns and     code execution (bsc#1188062).
    - CVE-2021-3609: A use-after-free in can/bcm could have led to privilege escalation (bsc#1187215).
    - CVE-2021-33624: In kernel/bpf/verifier.c a branch can be mispredicted (e.g., because of type confusion)     and consequently an unprivileged BPF program can read arbitrary memory locations via a side-channel     attack, aka CID-9183671af6db (bnc#1187554).
    - CVE-2021-0605: In pfkey_dump of af_key.c, there is a possible out-of-bounds read due to a missing bounds     check. This could lead to local information disclosure with System execution privileges needed. User     interaction is not needed for exploitation (bnc#1187601).
    - CVE-2021-0512: In __hidinput_change_resolution_multipliers of hid-input.c, there is a possible out of     bounds write due to a heap buffer overflow. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no     additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation (bnc#1187595).
    - CVE-2020-26558: Bluetooth LE and BR/EDR secure pairing in Bluetooth Core Specification 2.1 may permit a     nearby man-in-the-middle attacker to identify the Passkey used during pairing (in the Passkey     authentication procedure) by reflection of the public key and the authentication evidence of the     initiating device, potentially permitting this attacker to complete authenticated pairing with the     responding device using the correct Passkey for the pairing session. The attack methodology determines the     Passkey value one bit at a time (bnc#1179610).
    - CVE-2021-34693: net/can/bcm.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive information     from kernel stack memory because parts of a data structure are uninitialized (bnc#1187452).
    - CVE-2020-36385: An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 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 (bnc#1187050).
    - CVE-2021-0129: Improper access control in BlueZ may have allowed an authenticated user to potentially     enable information disclosure via adjacent access (bnc#1186463).
    - CVE-2020-36386: An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel net/bluetooth/hci_event.c has a slab out-of-     bounds read in hci_extended_inquiry_result_evt, aka CID-51c19bf3d5cf (bnc#1187038).
    - CVE-2020-24588: The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and     Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that the A-MSDU flag in the plaintext QoS header field is     authenticated. Against devices that support receiving non-SSP A-MSDU frames (which is mandatory as part of     802.11n), an adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets (bnc#1185861).
    - CVE-2021-33200: kernel/bpf/verifier.c enforced incorrect limits for pointer arithmetic operations, aka     CID-bb01a1bba579. This can be abused to perform out-of-bounds reads and writes in kernel memory, leading     to local privilege escalation to root. In particular, there is a corner case where the off reg causes a     masking direction change, which then results in an incorrect final aux->alu_limit (bnc#1186484).
    - CVE-2021-33034: net/bluetooth/hci_event.c had a use-after-free when destroying an hci_chan, aka     CID-5c4c8c954409. This leads to writing an arbitrary value (bnc#1186111).
    - CVE-2020-26139: An Access Point (AP) forwards EAPOL frames to other clients even though the sender has     not yet successfully authenticated to the AP. This might be abused in projected Wi-Fi networks to launch     denial-of-service attacks against connected clients and made it easier to exploit other vulnerabilities in     connected clients (bnc#1186062).
    - CVE-2021-23134: Use After Free vulnerability in nfc sockets allowed local attackers to elevate their     privileges. In typical configurations, the issue can only be triggered by a privileged local user with the     CAP_NET_RAW capability (bnc#1186060).
    - CVE-2020-24586: The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and     Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that received fragments be cleared from memory after     (re)connecting to a network. Under the right circumstances, when another device sends fragmented frames     encrypted using WEP, CCMP, or GCMP, this can be abused to inject arbitrary network packets and/or     exfiltrate user data (bnc#1185859).
    - CVE-2020-26141: The Wi-Fi implementation did not verify the Message Integrity Check (authenticity) of     fragmented TKIP frames. An adversary can abuse this to inject and possibly decrypt packets in WPA or WPA2     networks that support the TKIP data-confidentiality protocol (bnc#1185987).
    - CVE-2020-26145: The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 implementations accept second (or subsequent) broadcast     fragments even when sent in plaintext and process them as full unfragmented frames. An adversary can abuse     this to inject arbitrary network packets independent of the network configuration (bnc#1185860).
    - CVE-2020-24587: The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and     Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that all fragments of a frame are encrypted under the same     key. An adversary can abuse this to decrypt selected fragments when another device sends fragmented frames     and the WEP, CCMP, or GCMP encryption key is periodically renewed (bnc#1185859 bnc#1185862).
    - CVE-2020-26147: The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 implementations reassemble fragments even though some of     them were sent in plaintext. This vulnerability can be abused to inject packets and/or exfiltrate selected     fragments when another device sends fragmented frames and the WEP, CCMP, or GCMP data-confidentiality     protocol is used. ()
    - CVE-2021-3491: The io_uring subsystem allowed the MAX_RW_COUNT limit to be bypassed in the     PROVIDE_BUFFERS operation, which led to negative values being usedin mem_rw when reading /proc/<PID>/mem.
    This could be used to create a heap overflow leading to arbitrary code execution in the kernel.
    (bnc#1185642).
    - CVE-2021-23133: A race condition in SCTP sockets (net/sctp/socket.c) could lead to kernel privilege     escalation from the context of a network service or an unprivileged process. If sctp_destroy_sock is     called without sock_net(sk)->sctp.addr_wq_lock then an element is removed from the auto_asconf_splist list     without any proper locking. This can be exploited by an attacker with network service privileges to     escalate to root or from the context of an unprivileged user directly if a BPF_CGROUP_INET_SOCK_CREATE is     attached which denies creation of some SCTP socket (bnc#1184675).
    - CVE-2021-32399: net/bluetooth/hci_request.c in the Linux kernel has a race condition for removal of the     HCI controller (bnc#1184611 bnc#1185898).

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_qfq component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. When the plug qdisc is used as a class of the qfq qdisc, sending     network packets triggers use-after-free in qfq_dequeue() due to the incorrect .peek handler of sch_plug     and lack of error checking in agg_dequeue(). We recommend upgrading past commit     8fc134fee27f2263988ae38920bc03da416b03d8. (CVE-2023-4921)

  - mwifiex_cmd_802_11_ad_hoc_start in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/join.c in the Linux kernel through     5.10.4 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long SSID value, aka CID-5c455c5ab332.
    (CVE-2020-36158)

  - Integer overflow in the firmware for some Intel(R) Graphics Drivers for Windows * before version     26.20.100.7212 and before Linux kernel version 5.5 may allow a privileged user to potentially enable an     escalation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2020-12362)

  - usb_sg_cancel in drivers/usb/core/message.c in the Linux kernel before 5.6.8 has a use-after-free because     a transfer occurs without a reference, aka CID-056ad39ee925. (CVE-2020-12464)

  - The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent     Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that received fragments be cleared from memory after (re)connecting to a     network. Under the right circumstances, when another device sends fragmented frames encrypted using WEP,     CCMP, or GCMP, this can be abused to inject arbitrary network packets and/or exfiltrate user data.
