An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.2 Extended Update Support. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System CVSS base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for...
kernel: net: gro: fix double aggregation of flush-marked skbs
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Generic Receive Offload GRO networking subsystem. An attacker could exploit this by sending specially crafted network packets that cause a double aggregation of flush-marked socket buffers skbs. This issue arises from a missing flush check, which allows...
kernel: usb: usbfs: fix use-after-free of usb_device in usbdev_release()
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's USB subsystem usbfs. An unprivileged local attacker with read/write access to a /dev/bus/usb node could exploit a use-after-free vulnerability. This occurs because the usbdevice structure is prematurely freed before all pending operations are completed...
kernel: tcp: restrict SO_ATTACH_FILTER to priv users
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handling of TCP sockets. An unprivileged application can exploit this vulnerability by attaching a Berkeley Packet Filter BPF using the SOATTACHFILTER option. This allows the application to conduct a side-channel attack, leading to the leakage of sensitive T...
kernel: smb: client: clear setuid/setgid bit on write with cifsacl/modefromsid/posix extensions
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Server Message Block SMB client. When a file with the setuid or setgid bit is written to on certain Common Internet File System CIFS mounts specifically those using 'cifsacl', 'modefromsid' options, or SMB3.1.1 POSIX extensions, the kernel fails to properly...
kernel: vfio/pci: clear vdev->msi_perm after freeing it on init failure
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's vfio/pci component. During device initialization, a memory pointer is not properly cleared after being freed, leading to a use-after-free and double-free vulnerability. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a system crash, resulting in a denial o...
kernel: net: smc: fix splice entry lifetime imbalance in smc_rx_splice
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's smcrxsplice function within the net: smc component. This vulnerability arises from an imbalance in the lifetime management of splice entries, where page references are not properly handled before being passed to splicetopipe. This can lead to a reference cou...
kernel: net/packet: avoid fanout hook re-registration after unregister
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's net/packet subsystem. A race condition can occur during the re-registration of a fanout hook after a network device has been unregistered. This issue arises when the packetsetring function attempts to re-add a fanout hook based on a stale state, potentially...
kernel: scsi: target: core: Fix iSCSI ISID use-after-free in REGISTER AND MOVE
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's iSCSI target core. This use-after-free vulnerability occurs in the corescsi3emulateproregisterandmove function. When processing iSCSI TransportIDs, a memory buffer is prematurely unmapped while still being referenced, particularly when the parameter list spa...
kernel: KVM: s390: pci: Reject adapter interrupt forwarding if already enabled
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's KVM Kernel-based Virtual Machine s390 PCI component. This vulnerability arises from improper handling of adapter interrupt forwarding, where enabling it multiple times for a zPCI device without prior unregistration can lead to resource overwriting and leakag...
kernel: selinux: check connect-related permissions on TCP Fast Open
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Security-Enhanced Linux SELinux module. When using TCP Fast Open, SELinux failed to properly check connect-related permissions. This oversight could allow a local attacker to bypass SELinux network access controls, potentially enabling unauthorized network...
kernel: netfilter: nfnetlink_cthelper: fix OOB read in nfnl_cthelper_dump_table()
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's nfnetlinkcthelper component. This vulnerability, an out-of-bounds read, occurs in the nfnlcthelperdumptable function when a network connection tracking helper is removed during a dump operation, leading to a bypassed bounds check. A local attacker could...
Important: Red Hat Security Advisory: kernel security, bug fix, and enhancement update
An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.6 Extended Update Support. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System CVSS base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for...
kernel: crypto: af_alg - Cap AEAD AD length to 0x80000000
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's afalg cryptography module. This vulnerability involves an arithmetic overflow when processing associated data lengths during the transmit buffer size check. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw by providing a specially crafted associated data length,...
kernel: mac802154: llsec: add skb_cow_data() before in-place crypto
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's mac802154 IEEE 802.15.4 MAC security component. This vulnerability allows for data corruption and potential kernel crashes when cryptographic transformations are performed on shared network packet data without proper isolation. A remote attacker could exploi...
kernel: nvmet-auth: validate reply message payload bounds against transfer length
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's nvmet-auth component. A remote attacker, by sending a specially crafted NVMe-oF NVMe over Fabrics authentication reply message, can cause an out-of-bounds read in the kernel's memory. This vulnerability, exploitable pre-authentication, can lead to the...
kernel: nvmet: fix pre-auth out-of-bounds heap read in Discovery Get Log Page
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's nvmet subsystem. An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit an out-of-bounds heap read vulnerability in the Discovery Get Log Page function. By sending a specially crafted request with a manipulated offset, an attacker could read sensitive kernel memor...
kernel: ALSA: virtio: Validate control metadata from the device
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ALSA virtio sound driver. A malicious or buggy virtio device can provide invalid control metadata, such as an unknown control type or an oversized value count. The driver's control handling trusts this unvalidated metadata, leading to out-of-bounds access wh...
kernel: Linux kernel: Denial of Service in qla2xxx SCSI driver due to improper command handling after chip reset
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's qla2xxx SCSI driver. This vulnerability occurs when commands sent to the firmware FW are not properly cleared after a chip reset. A local attacker could exploit a race condition during direct memory access DMA unmapping, leading to a kernel panic. This can...
