This is a kernel live patch module which is automatically loaded by the RPM post-install script to modify the code of a running kernel.

Security Fix(es):

  • kernel: bpf: Incorrect verifier pruning leads to unsafe code paths being incorrectly marked as safe (CVE-2023-2163)

  • kernel: UAF in nftables when nft_set_lookup_global triggered after handling named and anonymous sets in batch requests (CVE-2023-3390)

  • kernel: net/sched: cls_u32 component reference counter leak if tcf_change_indev() fails (CVE-2023-3609)

  • kernel: use after free in unix_stream_sendpage (CVE-2023-4622)

  • kernel: ktls overwrites readonly memory pages when using function splice with a ktls socket as destination (CVE-2024-0646)

  • kernel: GSM multiplexing race condition leads to privilege escalation (CVE-2023-6546)
