Ubuntu 22.04 LTS : Linux kernel (Intel IoTG) vulnerabilities (USN-6795-1)

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6795-1 advisory. Zheng Wang discovered that the Broadcom FullMAC WLAN driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition during device removal, leading to a use-...

SUSE CVE-2021-47406

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: add error checking to ext4extreplaysetiblocks If the call to ext4mapblocks fails due to an corrupted file system, ext4extreplaysetiblocks can get stuck in an infinite loop. This could be reproduced by running generic/526 wi...

SUSE CVE-2021-47342

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: fix possible UAF when remounting r/o a mmp-protected file system After commit 618f003199c6 "ext4: fix memory leak in ext4fillsuper", after the file system is remounted read-only, there is a race where the kmmpd thread can...

USN-6777-4: Linux kernel (HWE) vulnerabilities

Zheng Wang discovered that the Broadcom FullMAC WLAN driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition during device removal, leading to a use- after-free vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service system crash. CVE-2023-47233 Several...

kernel: ext4: fix bug_on in __es_tree_search caused by bad quota inode

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: fix bugon in estreesearch caused by bad quota inode We got a issue as fllows: ================================================================== kernel BUG at fs/ext4/extentsstatus.c:202! invalid opcode: 0000 1 PREEMPT SMP...

kernel: ext4: fix undefined behavior in bit shift for ext4_check_flag_values

A vulnerability was identified in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem implementation due to a flaw in how it processes filesystem metadata. An attacker with local privileges could create a malicious ext4 filesystem image to trigger this issue. When the system attempts to mount this malicious image...

kernel: ext4: init quota for 'old.inode' in 'ext4_rename'

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: init quota for 'old.inode' in 'ext4rename' Syzbot found the following issue: ext4parseparam: swantextraisize=128 ext4inodeinfoinit: swantextraisize=32 ext4rename: old.inode=ffff88823869a2c8 old.dir=ffff888238699828...

kernel: ext4: fix deadlock due to mbcache entry corruption

A deadlock vulnerability was found in the ext4 filesystem in the Linux kernel. When manipulating extended attribute xattr blocks, a race condition in non-atomic bitfield updates can cause the mbcache entry state to become corrupted. This leads to an infinite loop in ext4xattrblockset where the co...

kernel: ext4: fix uninititialized value in 'ext4_evict_inode'

An uninitialized variable flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem in the inode eviction path. A local user can trigger this issue by creating filesystem operations that cause inode allocation to fail before the iflags field is initialized, followed by inode cleanup that attempts to...
