USN-5337-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

It was discovered that the BPF verifier in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict pointer types in certain situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service system crash or possibly execute arbitrary code. CVE-2022-23222 Yiqi Sun and Kevin Wang discovered that the cgrou...

DEBIAN-CVE-2021-45402

The checkaluop function in kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through v5.16-rc5 did not properly update bounds while handling the mov32 instruction, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive address information, aka a "pointer leak."...

USN-5278-1 linux-oem-5.14 vulnerabilities

It was discovered that the rlimit tracking for user namespaces in the Linux kernel did not properly perform reference counting, leading to a use-after- free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. CVE-2022-24122 It was...

Important: kernel

Issue Overview: A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. This flaw allows attackers to cause a denial of service soft lockup by triggering the destruction of a large SEV VM, which requires unregistering many encrypted regions. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability...

CVE-2021-4001

A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's ebpf verifier between bpfmapupdateelem and bpfmapfreeze due to a missing lock in kernel/bpf/syscall.c. In this flaw, a local user with a special privilege capsysadmin or capbpf can modify the frozen mapped address space. This flaw affects kernel...

Updated kernel-linus packages fix security vulnerabilities

This kernel-linus update is based on upstream 5.15.15 and fixes at least the following security issues: A data leak flaw was found in the way XFSIOCALLOCSP IOCTL in the XFS filesystem allowed for size increase of files with unaligned size. A local attacker could use this flaw to leak data on the...

USN-5115-1: Linux kernel (OEM) vulnerabilities

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Atheros Ath9k WiFi driver in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information WiFi network traffic. CVE-2020-3702 Ofek Kirzner, Adam Morrison, Benedict Schlueter, and Piotr Krysiuk discovered that the BPF...

USN-5091-2: Linux kernel (Raspberry Pi) vulnerabilities

Ofek Kirzner, Adam Morrison, Benedict Schlueter, and Piotr Krysiuk discovered that the BPF verifier in the Linux kernel missed possible mispredicted branches due to type confusion, allowing a side-channel attack. An attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. CVE-2021-33624 It was...

USN-5092-2: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Valentina Palmiotti discovered that the iouring subsystem in the Linux kernel could be coerced to free adjacent memory. A local attacker could use this to execute arbitrary code. CVE-2021-41073 Ofek Kirzner, Adam Morrison, Benedict Schlueter, and Piotr Krysiuk discovered that the BPF verifier in...
