"The CentOS Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare CENTOS-STREAM8:CLSA-2025:1757961506 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: peak_usb: fix use after free bugs
    After calling peak_usb_netif_rx_ni(skb), dereferencing skb is unsafe. Especially, the can_frame cf which
    aliases skb memory is accessed after the peak_usb_netif_rx_ni(). Reordering the lines solves the issue.
    (CVE-2021-47670)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: avoid resizing to a partial
    cluster size This patch avoids an attempt to resize the filesystem to an unaligned cluster boundary. An
    online resize to a size that is not integral to cluster size results in the last iteration attempting to
    grow the fs by a negative amount, which trips a BUG_ON and leaves the fs with a corrupted in-memory
    superblock. (CVE-2022-50020)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/rxe: Fix error unwind in
    rxe_create_qp() In the function rxe_create_qp(), rxe_qp_from_init() is called to initialize qp, internally
    things like the spin locks are not setup until rxe_qp_init_req(). If an error occures before this point
    then the unwind will call rxe_cleanup() and eventually to rxe_qp_do_cleanup()/rxe_cleanup_task() which
    will oops when trying to access the uninitialized spinlock. Move the spinlock initializations earlier
    before any failures. (CVE-2022-50127)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: fix race between laundromat and
    free_stateid There is a race between laundromat handling of revoked delegations and a client sending
    free_stateid operation. Laundromat thread finds that delegation has expired and needs to be revoked so it
    marks the delegation stid revoked and it puts it on a reaper list but then it unlock the state lock and
    the actual delegation revocation happens without the lock. Once the stid is marked revoked a racing
    free_stateid processing thread does the following (1) it calls list_del_init() which removes it from the
    reaper list and (2) frees the delegation stid structure. The laundromat thread ends up not calling the
    revoke_delegation() function for this particular delegation but that means it will no release the lock
    lease that exists on the file. Now, a new open for this file comes in and ends up finding that lease list
    isn't empty and calls nfsd_breaker_owns_lease() which ends up trying to derefence a freed delegation
    stateid. Leading to the followint use-after-free KASAN warning: kernel:

    kernel: kthread+0x288/0x310 kernel: ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 This patch proposes a fixed that's based on
    adding 2 new additional stid's sc_status values that help coordinate between the laundromat and other
    operations (nfsd4_free_stateid() and nfsd4_delegreturn()). First to make sure, that once the stid is
    marked revoked, it is not removed by the nfsd4_free_stateid(), the laundromat take a reference on the
    stateid. Then, coordinating whether the stid has been put on the cl_revoked list or we are processing
    FREE_STATEID and need to make sure to remove it from the list, each check that state and act accordingly.
    If laundromat has added to the cl_revoke list before the arrival of FREE_STATEID, then
    nfsd4_free_stateid() knows to remove it from the list. If nfsd4_free_stateid() finds that operations
    arrived before laundromat has placed it on cl_revoke list, it marks the state freed and then laundromat
    will no longer add it to the list. Also, for nfsd4_delegreturn() when looking for the specified stid, we
    need to access stid that are marked removed or freeable, it means the laundromat has started processing it
    but hasn't finished and this delegreturn needs to return nfserr_deleg_revoked and not nfserr_bad_stateid.
    The latter will not trigger a FREE_STATEID and the lack of it will leave this stid on the cl_revoked list
    indefinitely. (CVE-2024-50106)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfrm: state: fix out-of-bounds read
    during lookup lookup and resize can run in parallel. The xfrm_state_hash_generation seqlock ensures a
    retry, but the hash functions can observe a hmask value that is too large for the new hlist array. rehash
    does: rcu_assign_pointer(net->xfrm.state_bydst, ndst) [..] net->xfrm.state_hmask = nhashmask; While state
    lookup does: h = xfrm_dst_hash(net, daddr, saddr, tmpl->reqid, encap_family); hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(x,
    net->xfrm.state_bydst + h, bydst) { This is only safe in case the update to state_bydst is larger than
    net->xfrm.xfrm_state_hmask (or if the lookup function gets serialized via state spinlock again). Fix this
    by prefetching state_hmask and the associated pointers. The xfrm_state_hash_generation seqlock retry will
    ensure that the pointer and the hmask will be consistent. The existing helpers, like xfrm_dst_hash(), are
    now unsafe for RCU side, add lockdep assertions to document that they are only safe for insert side.
    xfrm_state_lookup_byaddr() uses the spinlock rather than RCU. AFAICS this is an oversight from back when
    state lookup was converted to RCU, this lock should be replaced with RCU in a future patch.
    (CVE-2024-57982)
