CVE-2022-1998

The Linux Kernel, the operating system core itself.

Security Fix(es):

Insufficient control flow management for the Intel(R) 82599 Ethernet Controllers and Adapters may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via local access.(CVE-2021-33061)

A use after free in the Linux kernel File System notify functionality was found in the way user triggers copy_info_records_to_user() call to fail in copy_event_to_user(). A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.(CVE-2022-1998)

A use after free in the Linux kernel File System notify functionality was found in the way user triggers copy_info_records_to_user() call to fail in copy_event_to_user(). A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements.

A use after free in the Linux kernel File System notify functionality was found in the way user triggers copy_info_records_to_user() call to fail in copy_event_to_user(). A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP4 kernel was updated.

The following security bugs were fixed:

• CVE-2022-29900, CVE-2022-29901: Fixed the RETBLEED attack, a new Spectre like Branch Target Buffer attack, that can leak arbitrary kernel information (bsc#1199657).
• CVE-2022-34918: Fixed a buffer overflow with nft_set_elem_init() that could be used by a local attacker to escalate privileges (bnc#1201171).
• CVE-2021-26341: Some AMD CPUs may transiently execute beyond unconditional direct branches, which may potentially result in data leakage (bsc#1201050).
• CVE-2022-20154: Fixed a use after free due to a race condition in lock_sock_nested of sock.c. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed (bsc#1200599).
• CVE-2022-2318: Fixed a use-after-free vulnerabilities in the timer handler in net/rose/rose_timer.c that allow attackers to crash the system without any privileges (bsc#1201251).
• CVE-2022-1462: Fixed an out-of-bounds read flaw in the TeleTYpe subsystem (bnc#1198829).
• CVE-2022-26365, CVE-2022-33740, CVE-2022-33741, CVE-2022-33742: Fixed multiple potential data leaks with Block and Network devices when using untrusted backends (bsc#1200762).
• CVE-2022-33743: Fixed a Denial of Service related to XDP (bsc#1200763).
• CVE-2022-1679: Fixed a use-after-free in the Atheros wireless driver in the way a user forces the ath9k_htc_wait_for_target function to fail with some input messages (bnc#1199487).
• CVE-2022-20132: Fixed out of bounds read due to improper input validation in lg_probe and related functions of hid-lg.c (bnc#1200619).

• CVE-2022-29582: Fixed a use-after-free due to a race condition in io_uring timeouts. This can be triggered by a local user who has no access to any user namespace; however, the race condition perhaps can only be exploited infrequently. (bnc#1198811)
• CVE-2022-0494: Fixed a kernel information leak flaw in the scsi_ioctl function. This flaw allowed a local attacker with a special user privilege to create issues with confidentiality. (bnc#1197386)

• CVE-2022-0264: Fixed a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's eBPF verifier when handling internal data structures. Internal memory locations could be returned to userspace. A local attacker with the permissions to insert eBPF code to the kernel can use this to leak internal kernel memory details defeating some of the exploit mitigations in place for the kernel.
