"The CentOS Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare CENTOS6:CLSA-2026:1768669128 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: target: Fix WRITE_SAME No Data
    Buffer crash In newer version of the SBC specs, we have a NDOB bit that indicates there is no data buffer
    that gets written out. If this bit is set using commands like sg_write_same --ndob we will crash in
    target_core_iblock/file's execute_write_same handlers when we go to access the se_cmd->t_data_sg because
    its NULL. This patch adds a check for the NDOB bit in the common WRITE SAME code because we don't support
    it. And, it adds a check for zero SG elements in each handler in case the initiator tries to send a normal
    WRITE SAME with no data buffer. (CVE-2022-21546)

  - Linux PV device frontends vulnerable to attacks by backends T[his CNA information record relates to
    multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.] Several Linux PV
    device frontends are using the grant table interfaces for removing access rights of the backends in ways
    being subject to race conditions, resulting in potential data leaks, data corruption by malicious
    backends, and denial of service triggered by malicious backends: blkfront, netfront, scsifront and the
    gntalloc driver are testing whether a grant reference is still in use. If this is not the case, they
    assume that a following removal of the granted access will always succeed, which is not true in case the
    backend has mapped the granted page between those two operations. As a result the backend can keep access
    to the memory page of the guest no matter how the page will be used after the frontend I/O has finished.
    The xenbus driver has a similar problem, as it doesn't check the success of removing the granted access of
    a shared ring buffer. blkfront: CVE-2022-23036 netfront: CVE-2022-23037 scsifront: CVE-2022-23038
    gntalloc: CVE-2022-23039 xenbus: CVE-2022-23040 blkfront, netfront, scsifront, usbfront, dmabuf, xenbus,
    9p, kbdfront, and pvcalls are using a functionality to delay freeing a grant reference until it is no
    longer in use, but the freeing of the related data page is not synchronized with dropping the granted
    access. As a result the backend can keep access to the memory page even after it has been freed and then
    re-used for a different purpose. CVE-2022-23041 netfront will fail a BUG_ON() assertion if it fails to
    revoke access in the rx path. This will result in a Denial of Service (DoS) situation of the guest which
    can be triggered by the backend. CVE-2022-23042 (CVE-2022-23042)

  - A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel NILFS file system was found in the way user triggers function
    security_inode_alloc to fail with following call to function nilfs_mdt_destroy. A local user could use
    this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-2978)

  - The Linux kernel NFSD implementation prior to versions 5.19.17 and 6.0.2 are vulnerable to buffer
    overflow. NFSD tracks the number of pages held by each NFSD thread by combining the receive and send
    buffers of a remote procedure call (RPC) into a single array of pages. A client can force the send buffer
    to shrink by sending an RPC message over TCP with garbage data added at the end of the message. The RPC
    message with garbage data is still correctly formed according to the specification and is passed forward
    to handlers. Vulnerable code in NFSD is not expecting the oversized request and writes beyond the
    allocated buffer space. CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H (CVE-2022-43945)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: capabilities: fix undefined behavior
    in bit shift for CAP_TO_MASK Shifting signed 32-bit value by 31 bits is undefined, so changing significant
    bit to unsigned. The UBSAN warning calltrace like below: UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in
    security/commoncap.c:1252:2 left shift of 1 by 31 places cannot be represented in type 'int' Call Trace:
