Oracle Linux 7 / 8 : Unbreakable Enterprise kernel (ELSA-2021-9006)

The remote Oracle Linux 7 / 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2021-9006 advisory. - xen-blkback: set ring-xenblkd to NULL after kthreadstop Pawel Wieczorkiewicz Orabug: 32260252 CVE-2020-29569 - xenbus/xenbusbackend: Disallow...

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.10.1 as used with Xen through 4.14.x. The Linux kernel PV block backend expects the kernel thread handler to reset ring->xenblkd to NULL when stopped. However the handler may not have time to run if the frontend quickly toggles between the states connect and disconnect. As a consequence the block backend may re-use a pointer after it was freed. A misbehaving guest can trigger a dom0 crash by continuously connecting / disconnecting a block frontend. Privilege escalation and information leaks cannot be ruled out. This only affects systems with a Linux blkback.
