Security update for the Linux Kernel (important)

An update that solves 43 vulnerabilities, contains one
feature and has 26 fixes is now available.

Description:

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP1 LTSS kernel was updated to receive
various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

• Unprivileged BPF has been disabled by default to reduce attack surface
  as too many security issues have happened in the past (jsc#SLE-22573)

  You can reenable via systemctl setting
  /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled to 0.
  (kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled = 0)

• CVE-2021-0941: In bpf_skb_change_head of filter.c, there is a possible
  out of bounds read due to a use after free. This could lead to local
  escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User
  interaction is not needed for exploitation (bnc#1192045).

• CVE-2021-31916: An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory write flaw was found in
  list_devices in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c in the Multi-device driver module
  in the Linux kernel A bound check failure allowed an attacker with
  special user (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) privilege to gain access to out-of-bounds
  memory leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel
  information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system
  availability (bnc#1192781).

• CVE-2021-20322: Make the ipv4 and ipv6 ICMP exception caches less
  predictive to avoid information leaks about UDP ports in use.
  (bsc#1191790)

• CVE-2021-34981: Fixed file refcounting in cmtp when cmtp_attach_device
  fails (bsc#1191961).

• CVE-2021-37159: hso_free_net_device in drivers/net/usb/hso.c in the
  Linux kernel calls unregister_netdev without checking for the
  NETREG_REGISTERED state, leading to a use-after-free and a double free
  (bnc#1188601).

• CVE-2021-3772: Fixed sctp vtag check in sctp_sf_ootb (bsc#1190351).

• CVE-2021-3655: Missing size validations on inbound SCTP packets may have
  allowed the kernel to read uninitialized memory (bnc#1188563).

• CVE-2021-33033: The Linux kernel has a use-after-free in cipso_v4_genopt
  in net/ipv4/cipso_ipv4.c because the CIPSO and CALIPSO refcounting for
  the DOI definitions is mishandled, aka CID-ad5d07f4a9cd. This leads to
  writing an arbitrary value (bnc#1186109 bnc#1186390 bnc#1188876).

• CVE-2021-3760: Fixed a use-after-free vulnerability with the
  ndev->rf_conn_info object (bsc#1190067).

• CVE-2021-42739: The firewire subsystem in the Linux kernel has a buffer
  overflow related to drivers/media/firewire/firedtv-avc.c and
  drivers/media/firewire/firedtv-ci.c, because avc_ca_pmt mishandled
  bounds checking (bnc#1184673).

• CVE-2021-3542: Fixed heap buffer overflow in firedtv driver
  (bsc#1186063).

• CVE-2018-13405: The inode_init_owner function in fs/inode.c in the Linux
  kernel allowed local users to create files with an unintended group
  ownership, in a scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group
  and is writable by a user who is not a member of that group. Here, the
  non-member can trigger creation of a plain file whose group ownership is
  that group. The intended behavior was that the non-member can trigger
  creation of a directory (but not a plain file) whose group ownership is
  that group. The non-member can escalate privileges by making the plain
  file executable and SGID (bnc#1100416 bnc#1129735).

• CVE-2021-3715: Fixed a use-after-free in route4_change() in
  net/sched/cls_route.c (bsc#1190349).

• CVE-2021-34556: An unprivileged BPF program can obtain sensitive
  information from kernel memory via a Speculative Store Bypass
  side-channel attack because the protection mechanism neglects the
  possibility of uninitialized memory locations on the BPF stack
  (bnc#1188983).

• CVE-2021-35477: An unprivileged BPF program can obtain sensitive
  information from kernel memory via a Speculative Store Bypass
  side-channel attack because a certain preempting store operation did not
  necessarily occur before a store operation that has an
  attacker-controlled value (bnc#1188985).

• CVE-2021-42252: An issue was discovered in aspeed_lpc_ctrl_mmap in
  drivers/soc/aspeed/aspeed-lpc-ctrl.c in the Linux kernel Local attackers
  able to access the Aspeed LPC control interface could overwrite memory
  in the kernel and potentially execute privileges, aka CID-b49a0e69a7b1.
  This occurs because a certain comparison uses values that are not memory
  sizes (bnc#1190479).

• CVE-2021-41864: prealloc_elems_and_freelist in kernel/bpf/stackmap.c in
  the Linux kernel allowed unprivileged users to trigger an eBPF
  multiplication integer overflow with a resultant out-of-bounds write
  (bnc#1191317).

• CVE-2021-42008: The decode_data function in drivers/net/hamradio/6pack.c
  in the Linux kernel has a slab out-of-bounds write. Input from a process
  that has the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability can lead to root access
  (bnc#1191315).

• CVE-2021-3759: Unaccounted ipc objects could have lead to breaking memcg
  limits and DoS attacks (bsc#1190115).

• CVE-2020-3702: Specifically timed and handcrafted traffic can cause
  internal errors in a WLAN device that lead to improper layer 2 Wi-Fi
  encryption with a consequent possibility of information disclosure over
  the air for a discrete set of traffic (bnc#1191193).

• CVE-2021-3752: Fixed a use after free vulnerability in the bluetooth
  module. (bsc#1190023)

• CVE-2021-40490: A race condition was discovered in
  ext4_write_inline_data_end in fs/ext4/inline.c in the ext4 subsystem in
  the Linux kernel (bnc#1190159 bnc#1192775)

• CVE-2021-3744: Fixed a bug which could allows attackers to cause a
  denial of service. (bsc#1189884)

• CVE-2021-3764: Fixed a bug which could allows attackers to cause a
  denial of service. (bsc#1190534)

• CVE-2020-12770: An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel sg_write
  lacks an sg_remove_request call in a certain failure case, aka
  CID-83c6f2390040 (bnc#1171420).

• CVE-2021-3640: Fixed a Use-After-Free vulnerability in function
  sco_sock_sendmsg() in the bluetooth stack (bsc#1188172).

• CVE-2019-3900: An infinite loop issue was found in the vhost_net kernel
  module, while handling incoming packets in handle_rx(). It could occur
  if one end sends packets faster than the other end can process them. A
  guest user, maybe remote one, could use this flaw to stall the vhost_net
  kernel thread, resulting in a DoS scenario (bnc#1133374).

• CVE-2019-3874: The SCTP socket buffer used by a userspace application is
  not accounted by the cgroups subsystem. An attacker can use this flaw to
  cause a denial of service attack. (bnc#1129898).

• CVE-2018-9517: In pppol2tp_connect, there is possible memory corruption
  due to a use after free. This could lead to local escalation of
  privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is
  not needed for exploitation. (bnc#1108488).

• CVE-2021-38160: Data corruption or loss could be triggered by an
  untrusted device that supplies a buf->len value exceeding the buffer
  size in drivers/char/virtio_console.c (bsc#1190117)

• CVE-2021-3753: Fixed race out-of-bounds in virtual terminal handling
  (bsc#1190025).

• CVE-2021-3732: Mounting overlayfs inside an unprivileged user namespace
  can reveal files (bsc#1189706).

• CVE-2021-3653: A flaw was found in the KVM’s AMD code for supporting SVM
  nested virtualization. The flaw occurs when processing the VMCB (virtual
  machine control block) provided by the L1 guest to spawn/handle a nested
  guest (L2). Due to improper validation of the “int_ctl” field, this
  issue could allow a malicious L1 to enable AVIC support (Advanced
  Virtual Interrupt Controller) for the L2 guest. As a result, the L2
  guest would be allowed to read/write physical pages of the host,
  resulting in a crash of the entire system, leak of sensitive data or
  potential guest-to-host escape. This flaw affects Linux kernel versions
  prior to 5.14-rc7 (bnc#1189399).

• CVE-2021-3656: Missing validation of the the virt_ext VMCB field and
  allows a malicious L1 guest to disable both VMLOAD/VMSAVE intercepts and
  VLS for the L2 guest (bsc#1189400).

• CVE-2021-38204: drivers/usb/host/max3421-hcd.c allowed physically
  proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and
  panic) by removing a MAX-3421 USB device in certain situations
  (bnc#1189291).

• CVE-2021-3679: A lack of CPU resource in the tracing module
  functionality was found in the way user uses trace ring buffer in a
  specific way. Only privileged local users (with CAP_SYS_ADMIN
  capability) could use this flaw to starve the resources causing denial
  of service (bnc#1189057).

• CVE-2020-4788: IBM Power9 (AIX 7.1, 7.2, and VIOS 3.1) processors could
  allow a local user to obtain sensitive information from the data in the
  L1 cache under extenuating circumstances. IBM X-Force ID: 189296 (bnc#0
  bnc#1177666 bnc#1181158).

• CVE-2021-3659: Fixed a NULL pointer dereference in llsec_key_alloc() in
  net/mac802154/llsec.c (bsc#1188876).

• CVE-2020-0429: In l2tp_session_delete and related functions of
  l2tp_core.c, there is possible memory corruption due to a use after
  free. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System
  execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for
  exploitation (bnc#1176724).

• CVE-2021-37576: arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_rtas.c on the powerpc platform
  allowed KVM guest OS users to cause host OS memory corruption via
  rtas_args.nargs, aka CID-f62f3c20647e (bnc#1188838 bnc#1190276).

• CVE-2021-22543: KVM through Improper handling of VM_IO|VM_PFNMAP vmas in
  KVM can bypass RO checks and can lead to pages being freed while still
  accessible by the VMM and guest. This allowed users with the ability to
  start and control a VM to read/write random pages of memory and can
  result in local privilege escalation (bnc#1186482 bnc#1190276).

• CVE-2021-33909: fs/seq_file.c did not properly restrict seq buffer
  allocations, leading to an integer overflow, an Out-of-bounds Write, and
  escalation to root by an unprivileged user, aka CID-8cae8cd89f05
  (bnc#1188062 bnc#1188063).
