kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 5.15.14 allows local users to gain privileges because of the availability of pointer arithmetic via certain *_OR_NULL pointer types.

This kernel update is based on upstream 5.15.15 and fixes at least the following security issues:

A data leak flaw was found in the way XFS_IOC_ALLOCSP IOCTL in the XFS filesystem allowed for size increase of files with unaligned size. A local attacker could use this flaw to leak data on the XFS filesystem otherwise not accessible to them (CVE-2021-4155).

An unprivileged write to the file handler flaw in the Linux kernel's control groups and namespaces subsystem was found in the way users have access to some less privileged process that are controlled by cgroups and have higher privileged parent process. It is actually both for cgroup2 and cgroup1 versions of control groups. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system (CVE-2021-4197).

Lack of proper validation of user-supplied eBPF programs prior to executing them. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute code in the context of the kernel (CVE-2021-4204).

A use-after-free exists in drivers/tee/tee_shm.c in the TEE subsystem in the Linux kernel through 5.15.11. This occurs because of a race condition in tee_shm_get_from_id during an attempt to free a shared memory object (CVE-2021-44733).

pep_sock_accept in net/phonet/pep.c in the Linux kernel through 5.15.8 has a refcount leak (CVE-2021-45095).

The ksmbd server through 3.4.2, as used in the Linux kernel through 5.15.8, sometimes communicates in cleartext even though encryption has been enabled. This occurs because it sets the SMB2_GLOBAL_CAP_ENCRYPTION flag when using the SMB 3.1.1 protocol, which is a violation of the SMB protocol specification. When Windows 10 detects this protocol violation, it disables encryption (CVE-2021-45100).

kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 5.15.14 allows local users to gain privileges because of the availability of pointer arithmetic via certain *_OR_NULL pointer types (CVE-2022-23222).

In addition to the upstream changes, we also have changed the following:

• iwlwifi: mvm: check if SAR GEO is supported before sending command
• select: Fix indefinitely sleeping task in poll_schedule_timeout()
• ALSA: hda: Add AlderLake-N/P PCI ID
• enable NF_TABLES_INET, NFT_REJECT_INET and NFT_FIB_INET (mga#29852)
• disable CIFS_SMB_DIRECT on desktop kernels as it makes loading cifs deps fail on some setups (mga#29784)
• disable unprivileged bpf by default to mitigate other potential security issues with bpf

This kernel update is based on upstream 5.15.41 and fixes at least the following security issues:

A flaw was found in unrestricted eBPF usage by the BPF_BTF_LOAD, leading to a possible out-of-bounds memory write in the Linux kernel BPF subsystem due to the way a user loads BTF. This flaw allows a local user to crash or escalate their privileges on the system. NOTE: Mageia kernels by default prevents unprivileged users from being able to use eBPF so this would require a privileged user with CAP_SYS_ADMIN or root to be able to abuse this flaw reducing its attack space (CVE-2022-0500).

Due to the small table perturb size, a memory leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s TCP source port generation algorithm in the net/ipv4/tcp.c function. This flaw allows an attacker to leak information and may cause a denial of service (CVE-2022-1012).

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s nfcmrvl_nci_unregister_dev() function. A race condition leads to a use-after-free issue when simulating the NFC device from the user space (CVE-2022-1734).

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's adjust_ptr_min_max_vals in the kernel/bpf/verifier.c function. In this flaw, a missing sanity check for *_OR_NULL pointer types that perform pointer arithmetic may cause a kernel information leak issue. NOTE: Mageia kernels by default prevents unprivileged users from being able to use eBPF so this would require a privileged user with CAP_SYS_ADMIN or root to be able to abuse this flaw reducing its attack space (CVE-2022-23222).

The SUNRPC subsystem in the Linux kernel through 5.17.2 can call xs_xprt_free before ensuring that sockets are in the intended state (CVE-2022-28893).

Improper Update of Reference Count vulnerability in net/sched of Linux Kernel allows local attacker to cause privilege escalation to root (CVE-2022-29581).

Other fixes in this update:

• nfsd: Fix a write performance regression
• x86/mm: Include spinlock_t definition in pgtable.h

For other upstream fixes, see the referenced changelogs.

In kernel/bpf/verifier.c , there is a possible way to manipulate pointer arithmetic due to a logic error in the code. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

It was discovered that the rlimit tracking for user namespaces in the Linux kernel did not properly perform reference counting, leading to a use-after- free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-24122)

It was discovered that the BPF verifier in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict pointer types in certain situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-23222)

Jeremy Cline discovered a use-after-free in the nouveau graphics driver of the Linux kernel during device removal. A privileged or physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2020-27820)

It was discovered that the Packet network protocol implementation in the Linux kernel contained a double-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-22600)
