This kernel-linus update is based on upstream 5.10.33 and fixes at least the following security issues: A race condition in Linux kernel SCTP sockets net/sctp/socket.c before 5.12-rc8 can lead to kernel privilege escalation from the context of a network service or an unprivileged process. If...

SUSE-SU-2021:1347-1 Security update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 23 for SLE 15)

This update for the Linux Kernel 4.12.14-15069 fixes several issues. The following security issues were fixed: - CVE-2021-3444: Fixed an issue with the bpf verifier which did not properly handle mod32 destination register truncation when the source register was known to be 0 leading to out of...

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.x. kernel/bpf/verifier.c performs undesirable out-of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic leading to side-channel attacks that defeat Spectre mitigations and obtain sensitive information from kernel memory. Specifically for sequences of pointer arithmetic operations the pointer modification performed by the first operation is not correctly accounted for when restricting subsequent operations.

CVE-2021-29648

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.11. The BPF subsystem does not properly consider that resolvedids and resolvedsizes are intentionally uninitialized in the vmlinux BPF Type Format BTF, which can cause a system crash upon an unexpected access attempt in mapcreate in...

Linux kernel bpf verifier incorrect mod32 truncation

...

An out-of-bounds access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of the eBPF code verifier in the way a user running the eBPF script calls dev_map_init_map or sock_map_alloc. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or possibly escalate their privileges. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality integrity as well as system availability.
