SUSE CVE-2023-52787

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: blk-mq: make sure active queue usage is held for biointegrityprep blkintegrityunregister can come if queue usage counter isn't held for one bio with integrity prepared, so this request may be completed with calling...

CVE-2021-47232

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: j1939: fix Use-after-Free, hold skb ref while in use This patch fixes a Use-after-Free found by the syzbot. The problem is that a skb is taken from the per-session skb queue, without incrementing the ref count. This leads to...

CVE-2023-52774

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/dasd: protect device queue against concurrent access In dasdprofilestart the amount of requests on the device queue are counted. The access to the device queue is unprotected against concurrent access. With a lot of parallel...

The problem is that a skb is taken from the per-session skb queue, without incrementing the ref count. This leads to...

SUSE CVE-2021-47243

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: schcake: Fix out of bounds when parsing TCP options and header The TCP option parser in cake qdisc cakegettcpopt and caketcphmaydrop could read one byte out of bounds. When the length is 1, the execution flow gets into the loop,...

SUSE CVE-2021-47246

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5e: Fix page reclaim for dead peer hairpin When adding a hairpin flow, a firmware-side send queue is created for the peer net device, which claims some host memory pages for its internal ring buffer. If the peer net device...

SUSE CVE-2021-47261

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: IB/mlx5: Fix initializing CQ fragments buffer The function initcqfragbuf can be called to initialize the current CQ fragments buffer cq-buf, or the temporary cq-resizebuf that is filled during CQ resize operation. However, the...

SUSE CVE-2023-52745

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: IB/IPoIB: Fix legacy IPoIB due to wrong number of queues The cited commit creates child PKEY interfaces over netlink will multiple tx and rx queues, but some devices doesn't support more than 1 tx and 1 rx queues. This causes to ...

PT-2024-27019

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel affected versions not specified Description The issue is related to a null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel when configuring 'power' and 'submit queues' concurrently, which can trigger a kernel panic. This occurs because de...

kernel: blk-mq: fix IO hang from sbitmap wakeup race

A possible IO hang from sbitmap wakeup race was found in the Linux kernel. This may lead to compromised Availability...

kernel: mptcp: fix UaF in listener shutdown

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Multipath TCP MPTCP subsystem. An improper cleanup sequence during listener socket shutdown can lead to a use-after-free condition where the kernel accesses socket memory after it has already been released. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability t...

kernel: tty: n_gsm: fix deadlock and link starvation in outgoing data path

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tty: ngsm: fix deadlock and link starvation in outgoing data path The current implementation queues up new control and user packets as needed and processes this queue down to the ldisc in the same code path. That means that the...

kernel: igc: Fix Kernel Panic during ndo_tx_timeout callback

A race condition was identified in the Intel “igc” network driver in the Linux kernel. Under specific heavy traffic and timing scenarios, such as when the transmit queue times out ndotxtimeout and the adapter reset path is invoked concurrently with device teardown or reinitialization, the driver...

kernel: cxgb4: use-after-free in ch_flower_stats_cb()

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the cxgb4 driver in the Linux kernel. The bug occurs when the cxgb4 device is detaching due to a possible rearming of the flowerstatstimer from the work queue. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system, causing a denial of service condition...

kernel: scsi: qla2xxx: Remove unused nvme_ls_waitq wait queue

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: qla2xxx: Remove unused nvmelswaitq wait queue System crash when qla2x00startspsp returns error code EGAIN and wakeup gets called for uninitialized wait queue sp-nvmelswaitq. qla2xxx 0000:37:00.1-2121:5: Returning existing...

kernel: RDMA/efa: Fix wrong resources deallocation order

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/efa: Fix wrong resources deallocation order When trying to destroy QP or CQ, we first decrease the refcount and potentially free memory regions allocated for the object and then request the device to destroy the object. If t...

kernel: RDMA/cma: Allow UD qp_type to join multicast only

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/cma: Allow UD qptype to join multicast only As for multicast: - The SIDR is the only mode that makes sense; - Besides PSUDP, other port spaces like PSIB is also allowed, as it is UD compatible. In this case qkey also needs t...
