kernel: crypto: pcrypt - Fix handling of MAY_BACKLOG requests

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's pcrypt component. This vulnerability involves how the system handles certain requests, specifically MAYBACKLOG requests, which can indicate a temporary busy state. If not properly managed, the system's processing of these requests could lead to resource...

kernel: blk-mq: pop cached request if it is usable

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's blk-mq component. This use-after-free vulnerability occurs when a task attempts to submit a bio a data structure for I/O operations to blk-mq. If the task is interrupted and sleeps after checking for a cached request but before using it, the cached request c...

kernel: ALSA: usx2y: bound the hwdep mmap fault offset

A flaw was found in the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture ALSA usx2y driver in the Linux kernel. A local attacker, by opening the hwdep node of an attached US-X2Y device, could exploit an unbounded memory mapping mmap fault offset. This allows read-write access to arbitrary kernel memory,...

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...

kernel: vxlan: do not reuse cached ip_hdr() value after skb_tunnel_check_pmtu()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Virtual Extensible LAN VXLAN module. This vulnerability occurs because a cached IP header pointer is improperly reused after a Path Maximum Transmission Unit PMTU check. When the packet's head is modified during the PMTU check, the old cached IP header point...

kernel: blk-cgroup: fix UAF in __blkcg_rstat_flush()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's block input/output control group blk-cgroup component. This vulnerability, a Use-After-Free UAF, occurs when multiple block control groups are released at the same time. A race condition allows one group to remove another's entries while it is still in use,...

kernel: xfrm: Duplicate SPI Handling

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfrm: Duplicate SPI Handling The issue originates when Strongswan initiates an XFRMMSGALLOCSPI Netlink message, which triggers the kernel function xfrmallocspi. This function is expected to ensure uniqueness of the Security...

Important: Red Hat Security Advisory: kernel security, bug fix, and enhancement update

An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4 Update Services for SAP Solutions. 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...

kernel: Bluetooth: MGMT: validate LTK enc_size on load

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth management MGMT component. An attacker could exploit a vulnerability in how Long Term Keys LTK are loaded. By providing an oversized encryption size, a stack buffer overflow can occur, potentially leading to a denial of service...

kernel: procfs: fix missing RCU protection when reading real_parent in do_task_stat()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's procfs component. When reading /proc/pid/stat, the dotaskstat function accesses task-realparent without proper Read-Copy-Update RCU protection. This missing protection creates a race condition, which can lead to a Use-After-Free UAF vulnerability. A local...

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: 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: scsi: target: configfs: Bound snprintf() return in tg_pt_gp_members_show()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SCSI target subsystem. This vulnerability, a buffer overflow, occurs in the tgptgpmembersshow function when processing long iSCSI IQN names. An attacker could potentially exploit this by providing a specially crafted input, leading to the disclosure of...

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,...
