USN-5377-1: Linux kernel (BlueField) vulnerabilities

It was discovered that the network traffic control implementation in the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service system crash or possibly execute arbitrary code. CVE-2022-1055 Yiqi Sun and Kevin Wang discovered that the...

USN-5368-1: 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 It was discovered that the network traffic contro...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2021-1487)

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.225-121.357. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2021-1487 advisory. An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 3.11 through 5.10.16, as used by Xen. To service requests to the PV...

FreeBSD : FreeBSD -- Xen grant mapping error handling issues (5b8c6e1e-770f-11eb-b87a-901b0ef719ab)

Grant mapping operations often occur in batch hypercalls, where a number of operations are done in a single hypercall, the success or failure of each one reported to the backend driver, and the backend driver then loops over the results, performing follow-up actions based on the success or failur...

DEBIAN-CVE-2021-26932

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 3.2 through 5.10.16, as used by Xen. Grant mapping operations often occur in batch hypercalls, where a number of operations are done in a single hypercall, the success or failure of each one is reported to the backend driver, and the backend driver then...

UBUNTU-CVE-2021-26930

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 3.11 through 5.10.16, as used by Xen. To service requests to the PV backend, the driver maps grant references provided by the frontend. In this process, errors may be encountered. In one case, an error encountered earlier might be discarded by later...

Linux: grant mapping error handling issues

ISSUE DESCRIPTION Grant mapping operations often occur in batch hypercalls, where a number of operations are done in a single hypercall, the success or failure of each one reported to the backend driver, and the backend driver then loops over the results, performing follow-up actions based on the...

Linux: backends treating grant mapping errors as bugs

ISSUE DESCRIPTION Block, net, and SCSI backends consider certain errors a plain bug, deliberately causing a kernel crash. For errors potentially being at least under the influence of guests, like out of memory conditions, it isn't correct to assume so. Memory allocations potentially causing such...

Denial Of Service (DoS)

kernel is vulnerable to denial of service DoS. The vulnerability exists as the absence of sanity-checks was found in the hypervisor block backend driver, when running 32-bit paravirtualized guests on a 64-bit host. The number of blocks to be processed per one request from guest to host, or...

Security update for the Linux Kernel (important)

The openSUSE 13.1 kernel was updated to 3.12.62 to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed: - CVE-2014-9904: The sndcompresscheckinput function in sound/core/compressoffload.c in the ALSA subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly check for an integer...

SUSE SLES11 Security Update : kernel (SUSE-SU-2016:1203-1)

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP3 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed : - CVE-2013-7446: Use-after-free vulnerability in net/unix/afunix.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to bypass intended AFUNIX socket permissions or cause a...

CVE-2015-8552

The PCI backend driver in Xen, when running on an x86 system and using Linux 3.1.x through 4.3.x as the driver domain, allows local guest administrators to generate a continuous stream of WARN messages and cause a denial of service disk consumption by leveraging a system with access to a...

CVE-2015-8551

The PCI backend driver in Xen, when running on an x86 system and using Linux 3.1.x through 4.3.x as the driver domain, allows local guest administrators to hit BUG conditions and cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference and host OS crash by leveraging a system with access to a...

CVE-2015-8552

CVE-2015-8552 affects the Xen PCI backend driver. On x86, with Linux 3.1.x–4.3.x as the driver domain, local guest administrators can cause a denial of service by crafting access to a passed-through MSI/MSI-X PCI device and using XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msi, exploiting Linux pciback missing sanity chec...
