kernel: kernel: Denial of Service via memory leak in LRU hash maps

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A local user could exploit a memory leak vulnerability in the Least Recently Used LRU and LRUPERCPU hash maps. This occurs when the kernel allocates a new element during a map update but fails to release it if the hash table bucket cannot be locked. Repeated...

kernel: bpf, cpumap: Make sure kthread is running before map update returns

A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's BPF cpumap implementation in the kthread lifecycle management. A local user can trigger this issue by running XDP redirect operations when the per-CPU kthread is stopped prematurely before processing queued frames, causing the cleanup code to find ...

SUSE CVE-2022-48642

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nftables: fix percpu memory leak at nftablesaddchain It seems to me that percpu memory for chain stats started leaking since commit 3bc158f8d0330f0a "netfilter: nftables: map basechain priority to hardware priority" wh...

CVE-2024-26690

CVE-2024-26690 affects the Linux kernel stmmac driver: it fixes a race in 64-bit statistics counters by splitting u64_stats_sync into three groups and adding per-CPU stats to avoid mutual-exclusion issues across tx, NAPI, and interrupt contexts. The write side of u64_stats_sync must be serialized...

kernel: x86/mm: Randomize per-cpu entry area

A possible unauthorized memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel cpuentryarea mapping of X86 CPU data to memory, where a user may guess the location of exception stacks or other important data. This issue could allow a local user to gain access to some important data with expected locatio...

DEBIAN-CVE-2021-46977

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: VMX: Disable preemption when probing user return MSRs Disable preemption when probing a user return MSR via RDSMR/WRMSR. If the MSR holds a different value per logical CPU, the WRMSR could corrupt the host's value if KVM is...

kernel: nfsd: move init of percpu reply_cache_stats counters back to nfsd_init_net

A flaw was identified in the NFS server nfsd implementation in the Linux kernel where the initialization of the per-CPU replycachestats counters was relocated incorrectly in the code path. This change can lead to use of uninitialized per-CPU statistical counters during NFS request handling when t...
