"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1747725447 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hwmon: (lm90) Prevent integer
    overflow/underflow in hysteresis calculations Commit b50aa49638c7 (hwmon: (lm90) Prevent integer
    underflows of temperature calculations) addressed a number of underflow situations when writing
    temperature limits. However, it missed one situation, seen when an attempt is made to set the hysteresis
    value to MAX_LONG and the critical temperature limit is negative. Use clamp_val() when setting the
    hysteresis temperature to ensure that the provided value can never overflow or underflow. (CVE-2021-47098)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: aio: fix use-after-free due to missing
    POLLFREE handling signalfd_poll() and binder_poll() are special in that they use a waitqueue whose
    lifetime is the current task, rather than the struct file as is normally the case. This is okay for
    blocking polls, since a blocking poll occurs within one task; however, non-blocking polls require another
    solution. This solution is for the queue to be cleared before it is freed, by sending a POLLFREE
    notification to all waiters. Unfortunately, only eventpoll handles POLLFREE. A second type of non-blocking
    poll, aio poll, was added in kernel v4.18, and it doesn't handle POLLFREE. This allows a use-after-free to
    occur if a signalfd or binder fd is polled with aio poll, and the waitqueue gets freed. Fix this by making
    aio poll handle POLLFREE. A patch by Ramji Jiyani <[email protected]>
    (https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]) tried to do this by making
    aio_poll_wake() always complete the request inline if POLLFREE is seen. However, that solution had two
    bugs. First, it introduced a deadlock, as it unconditionally locked the aio context while holding the
    waitqueue lock, which inverts the normal locking order. Second, it didn't consider that POLLFREE
    notifications are missed while the request has been temporarily de-queued. The second problem was solved
    by my previous patch. This patch then properly fixes the use-after-free by handling POLLFREE in a
    deadlock-free way. It does this by taking advantage of the fact that freeing of the waitqueue is RCU-
    delayed, similar to what eventpoll does. (CVE-2021-47505)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: watch_queue: Actually free the watch
    free_watch() does everything barring actually freeing the watch object. Fix this by adding the missing
    kfree. kmemleak produces a report something like the following. Note that as an address can be seen in the
    first word, the watch would appear to have gone through call_rcu(). BUG: memory leak unreferenced object

    response until mid->mid_state != SUBMITTED; 2. Receive response from server, and set it to mid; 3. Set the
    mid state to RECEIVED; 4. Kill the process, the mid state already RECEIVED, get 0; 5. Handle and release
    the negotiate response; 6. UAF. It can be easily reproduce with add some delay in [3] - [6]. Only sync
    call has the problem since async call's callback is executed in cifsd process. Add an extra state to mark
    the mid state to READY before wakeup the waitter, then it can get the resp safely. (CVE-2023-52572)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: atlantic: eliminate double free
    in error handling logic Driver has a logic leak in ring data allocation/free, where aq_ring_free could be
    called multiple times on same ring, if system is under stress and got memory allocation error. Ring
    pointer was used as an indicator of failure, but this is not correct since only ring data is
    allocated/deallocated. Ring itself is an array member. Changing ring allocation functions to return error
    code directly. This simplifies error handling and eliminates aq_ring_free on higher layer.
    (CVE-2023-52664)
