19 |
This kernel update is based on upstream 6.5.11 and fixes or adds |
20 |
mitigations for at least the following security issues: |
21 |
|
22 |
A use-after-free vulnerability was found in drivers/nvme/target/tcp.c` |
23 |
in `nvmet_tcp_free_crypto` due to a logical bug in the NVMe-oF/TCP |
24 |
subsystem in the Linux kernel. This issue may allow a malicious user to |
25 |
cause a use-after-free and double-free problem, which may permit remote |
26 |
code execution or lead to local privilege escalation in case that the |
27 |
attacker already has local privileges. (CVE-2023-5178) |
28 |
|
29 |
x86: KVM: SVM: always update the x2avic msr interception: |
30 |
The following problem exists since x2avic was enabled in the KVM: |
31 |
svm_set_x2apic_msr_interception is called to enable the interception of |
32 |
the x2apic msrs. |
33 |
In particular it is called at the moment the guest resets its apic. |
34 |
Assuming that the guest's apic is in x2apic mode, the reset will bring |
35 |
it back to the xapic mode. |
36 |
The svm_set_x2apic_msr_interception however has an erroneous check for |
37 |
'!apic_x2apic_mode()' which prevents it from doing anything in this case. |
38 |
As a result of this, all x2apic msrs are left unintercepted, and that |
39 |
exposes the bare metal x2apic (if enabled) to the guest. |
40 |
Removing the erroneous '!apic_x2apic_mode()' check fixes that. |
41 |
(CVE-2023-5090) |
42 |
|
43 |
In unprivileged Xen guests event handling can cause a deadlock with |
44 |
Xen console handling. The evtchn_rwlock and the hvc_lock are taken in |
45 |
opposite sequence in __hvc_poll() and in Xen console IRQ handling. |
46 |
This is fixed by xen/events: replace evtchn_rwlock with RCU |
47 |
(CVE-2023-34324) |
48 |
|
49 |
A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's fs/smb/client |
50 |
component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. In |
51 |
case of an error in smb3_fs_context_parse_param, ctx->password was freed |
52 |
but the field was not set to NULL which could lead to double free. We |
53 |
recommend upgrading past commit e6e43b8aa7cd3c3af686caf0c2e11819a886d705 |
54 |
(CVE-2023-5345) |
55 |
|
56 |
A flaw was found in the Netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel. The |
57 |
nfnl_osf_add_callback function did not validate the user mode controlled |
58 |
opt_num field. This flaw allows a local privileged (CAP_NET_ADMIN) |
59 |
attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds read, leading to a crash or |
60 |
information disclosure. (CVE-2023-39189) |
61 |
|
62 |
The reference count changes made as part of the CVE-2023-33951 and |
63 |
CVE-2023-33952 fixes exposed a use-after-free flaw in the way memory |
64 |
objects were handled when they were being used to store a surface. When |
65 |
running inside a VMware guest with 3D acceleration enabled, a local, |
66 |
unprivileged user could potentially use this flaw to escalate their |
67 |
privileges. (CVE-2023-5633) |
68 |
|
69 |
A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Linux |
70 |
Kernel Performance Events (perf) component can be exploited to achieve |
71 |
local privilege escalation. If perf_read_group() is called while an |
72 |
event's sibling_list is smaller than its child's sibling_list, it can |
73 |
increment or write to memory locations outside of the allocated buffer. |
74 |
We recommend upgrading past commit |
75 |
32671e3799ca2e4590773fd0e63aaa4229e50c06. (CVE-2023-5717) |
76 |
|
77 |
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.5.9, exploitable by |
78 |
local users with userspace access to MMIO registers. Incorrect access |
79 |
checking in the #VC handler and instruction emulation of the SEV-ES |
80 |
emulation of MMIO accesses could lead to arbitrary write access to |
81 |
kernel memory (and thus privilege escalation). This depends on a race |
82 |
condition through which userspace can replace an instruction before the |
83 |
#VC handler reads it. (CVE-2023-46813) |
84 |
|
85 |
And fixes at least one normal bug about sleep lockups: |
86 |
|
87 |
Drop Patch1030 and 1050 to fix sleep lockups (bug #32082) |
