CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: kernel (CVE-2023-52340)

The version of kernel installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2023-52340 advisory. - The IPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel before 6.3 has a net/ipv6/route.c maxsize threshold that can be...

The IPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel before 6.3 has a net/ipv6/route.c max_size threshold that can be consumed easily e.g. leading to a denial of service (network is unreachable errors) when IPv6 packets are sent in a loop via a raw socket.

SUSE CVE-2024-7409

A flaw was found in the QEMU NBD Server. This vulnerability allows a denial of service DoS attack via improper synchronization during socket closure when a client keeps a socket open as the server is taken offline...

kernel: net: amd-xgbe: Fix skb data length underflow

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: amd-xgbe: Fix skb data length underflow There will be BUGON triggered in include/linux/skbuff.h leading to intermittent kernel panic, when the skb length underflow is detected. Fix this by dropping the packet if such length...

kernel: inet: inet_defrag: prevent sk release while still in use

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: inet: inetdefrag: prevent sk release while still in use iplocalout and other functions can pass skb-sk as function argument. If the skb is a fragment and reassembly happens before such function call returns, the sk must not be...

kernel: nsh: Restore skb->{protocol,data,mac_header} for outer header in nsh_gso_segment().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nsh: Restore skb-protocol,data,macheader for outer header in nshgsosegment. syzbot triggered various splats see 0 and links by a crafted GSO packet of VIRTIONETHDRGSOUDP layering the following protocols: ETHP8021AD + ETHPNSH +...

kernel: net: fix information leakage in /proc/net/ptype

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: fix information leakage in /proc/net/ptype In one net namespace, after creating a packet socket without binding it to a device, users in other net namespaces can observe the new packettype added by this packet socket by...

kernel: tcp: properly terminate timers for kernel sockets

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tcp: properly terminate timers for kernel sockets We had various syzbot reports about tcp timers firing after the corresponding netns has been dismantled. Fortunately Josef Bacik could trigger the issue more often, and could test...

kernel: tcp: Use refcount_inc_not_zero() in tcp_twsk_unique().

A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s TCP protocol in how a local user triggers a complex race condition during connection to the socket. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: core: reject skbcopyexpand for fraglist GSO skbs SKBGSOFRAGLIST skbs must not be linearized, otherwise they become invalid. Return NULL if such an skb is passed to skbcopy or skbcopyexpand, in order to prevent a crash on a...

kernel: af_unix: Fix data races in unix_release_sock/unix_stream_sendmsg

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: afunix: Fix data races in unixreleasesock/unixstreamsendmsg A data-race condition has been identified in afunix. In one data path, the write function unixreleasesock atomically writes to sk-skshutdown using WRITEONCE. However, on...
