"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2024:1727352561 advisory.
- Information exposure through microarchitectural state after transient execution in certain vector
execution units for some Intel(R) Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable
information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-40982)
- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nftables: exthdr: fix
4-byte stack OOB write If priv->len is a multiple of 4, then dst[len / 4] can write past the destination
array which leads to stack corruption. This construct is necessary to clean the remainder of the register
in case ->len is NOT a multiple of the register size, so make it conditional just like nft_payload.c does.
The bug was added in 4.1 cycle and then copied/inherited when tcp/sctp and ip option support was added.
Bug reported by Zero Day Initiative project (ZDI-CAN-21950, ZDI-CAN-21951, ZDI-CAN-21961).
(CVE-2023-52628)
- A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Linux Kernel Performance Events (perf)
component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. If perf_read_group() is called while an
event's sibling_list is smaller than its child's sibling_list, it can increment or write to memory
locations outside of the allocated buffer. We recommend upgrading past commit
32671e3799ca2e4590773fd0e63aaa4229e50c06. (CVE-2023-5717)
- In the Linux kernel before 6.6.7, an untrusted VMM can trigger int80 syscall handling at any given point.
This is related to arch/x86/coco/tdx/tdx.c and arch/x86/mm/mem_encrypt_amd.c. (CVE-2024-25744)
- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: bridge: xmit: make sure we have
at least eth header len bytes syzbot triggered an uninit value[1] error in bridge device's xmit path by
sending a short (less than ETH_HLEN bytes) skb. To fix it check if we can actually pull that amount
instead of assuming. Tested with dropwatch: drop at: br_dev_xmit+0xb93/0x12d0 [bridge]
