CVE-2021-28038

The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of any Linux operating system. The kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation, device input and output, etc.

Security Fix(es):

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 2.6.39 through 5.10.16, as used in Xen. Block, net, and SCSI backends consider certain errors a plain bug, deliberately causing a kernel crash. For errors potentially being at least under the influence of guests (such as out of memory conditions), it isn't correct to assume a plain bug. Memory allocations potentially causing such crashes occur only when Linux is running in PV mode, though. This affects drivers/block/xen-blkback/blkback.c and drivers/xen/xen-scsiback.c.(CVE-2021-26931)

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 3.11 through 5.10.16, as used by Xen. To service requests to the PV backend, the driver maps grant references provided by the frontend. In this process, errors may be encountered. In one case, an error encountered earlier might be discarded by later processing, resulting in the caller assuming successful mapping, and hence subsequent operations trying to access space that wasn't mapped. In another case, internal state would be insufficiently updated, preventing safe recovery from the error. This affects drivers/block/xen-blkback/blkback.c.(CVE-2021-26930)

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 3.2 through 5.10.16, as used by Xen. Grant mapping operations often occur in batch hypercalls, where a number of operations are done in a single hypercall, the success or failure of each one is reported to the backend driver, and the backend driver then loops over the results, performing follow-up actions based on the success or failure of each operation. Unfortunately, when running in PV mode, the Linux backend drivers mishandle this: Some errors are ignored, effectively implying their success from the success of related batch elements. In other cases, errors resulting from one batch element lead to further batch elements not being inspected, and hence successful ones to not be possible to properly unmap upon error recovery. Only systems with Linux backends running in PV mode are vulnerable. Linux backends run in HVM / PVH modes are not vulnerable. This affects arch/*/xen/p2m.c and drivers/xen/gntdev.c.(CVE-2021-26932)

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3, as used with Xen PV. A certain part of the netback driver lacks necessary treatment of errors such as failed memory allocations (as a result of changes to the handling of grant mapping errors). A host OS denial of service may occur during misbehavior of a networking frontend driver. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2021-26931.(CVE-2021-28038)

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. A kernel pointer leak can be used to determine the address of the iscsi_transport structure. When an iSCSI transport is registered with the iSCSI subsystem, the transport's handle is available to unprivileged users via the sysfs file system, at /sys/class/iscsi_transport/$TRANSPORT_NAME/handle. When read, the show_transport_handle function (in drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c) is called, which leaks the handle. This handle is actually the pointer to an iscsi_transport struct in the kernel module's global variables.(CVE-2021-27363)

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c is adversely affected by the ability of an unprivileged user to craft Netlink messages.(CVE-2021-27364)

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. Certain iSCSI data structures do not have appropriate length constraints or checks, and can exceed the PAGE_SIZE value. An unprivileged user can send a Netlink message that is associated with iSCSI, and has a length up to the maximum length of a Netlink message.(CVE-2021-27365)

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3, as used with Xen PV. A certain part of the netback driver lacks necessary treatment of errors such as failed memory allocations (as a result of changes to the handling of grant mapping errors). A host OS denial of service may occur during misbehavior of a networking frontend driver. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2021-26931.

This kernel update is based on upstream 5.10.20 and fixes at least the following security issues:

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's GPU Nouveau driver functionality in versions prior to 5.12-rc1 in the way the user calls ioctl DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_CHANNEL_ALLOC. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system. (CVE-2020-25639).

A certain part of the netback driver lacks necessary treatment of errors such as failed memory allocations (as a result of changes to the handling of grant mapping errors). A host OS denial of service may occur during misbehavior of a networking frontend driver. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2021-26931. (CVE-2021-28038 / XSA-367)

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 5.9.x through 5.11.3, as used with Xen. In some less-common configurations, an x86 PV guest OS user can crash a Dom0 or driver domain via a large amount of I/O activity. The issue relates to misuse of guest physical addresses when a configuration has CONFIG_XEN_UNPOPULATED_ALLOC but not CONFIG_XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG. (CVE-2021-28039 / XSA-369)

It also adds a critical fix for filesystem level corruption:

• on setups with swapfiles on filesystems sitting on top of brd, zram, btt or pmem, then when the system starts to swap out pages, at which point it corrupts filesystem blocks that don't belong to the swapfile.

It also adds the following fixes:

• Input: elan_i2c - add new trackpoint report type 0x5F
• Input: elantech - fix protocol errors for some trackpoints
• net: usb: qmi_wwan: support ZTE P685M modem
• tty: fix up iterate_tty_read() EOVERFLOW handling
• tty: fix up hung_up_tty_read() conversion
• tty: clean up legacy leftovers from n_tty line discipline
• tty: teach n_tty line discipline about the new "cookie continuations"
• tty: teach the n_tty ICANON case about the new "cookie continuations" too
• x86_64-server config:
  • enable NUMA balancing
  • make CONNECTOR builtin to enable PROC_EVENTS (mga#28312)
  • support 512 cores/threads

This kernel-linus update is based on upstream 5.10.25 and fixes at least the following security issues:

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's GPU Nouveau driver functionality in versions prior to 5.12-rc1 in the way the user calls ioctl DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_CHANNEL_ALLOC. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system. (CVE-2020-25639).

Unprivileged BPF programs running on affected systems can bypass the protection and execute speculatively out-of-bounds loads from any location within the kernel memory. This can be abused to extract contents of kernel memory via side-channel (CVE-2020-27170).

Unprivileged BPF programs running on affected 64-bit systems can exploit this to execute speculatively out-of-bounds loads from 4GB window within the kernel memory. This can be abused to extract contents of kernel memory via side-channel (CVE-2020-27171).

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

The following security bugs were fixed:

• CVE-2020-36312: Fixed an issue in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c that had a kvm_io_bus_unregister_dev memory leak upon a kmalloc failure (bnc#1184509).
• CVE-2021-29650: Fixed an issue inside the netfilter subsystem that allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) because net/netfilter/x_tables.c and include/linux/netfilter/x_tables.h lack a full memory barrier upon the assignment of a new table value (bnc#1184208).
• CVE-2021-29155: Fixed an issue within kernel/bpf/verifier.c that performed 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 (bnc#1184942).
• CVE-2020-36310: Fixed an issue in arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.c that allowed a set_memory_region_test infinite loop for certain nested page faults (bnc#1184512).
• CVE-2020-27673: Fixed an issue in Xen where a guest OS users could have caused a denial of service (host OS hang) via a high rate of events to dom0 (bnc#1177411, bnc#1184583).
• CVE-2021-29154: Fixed BPF JIT compilers that allowed to execute arbitrary code within the kernel context (bnc#1184391).

• CVE-2020-36311: Fixed an issue in arch/x86/kvm/svm/sev.c that allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (soft lockup) by triggering destruction of a large SEV VM (which requires unregistering many encrypted regions) (bnc#1184511).
• CVE-2021-28950: Fixed an issue in fs/fuse/fuse_i.h where a 'stall on CPU' could have occured because a retry loop continually finds the same bad inode (bnc#1184194, bnc#1184211).
• CVE-2020-36322: Fixed an issue inside the FUSE filesystem implementation where fuse_do_getattr() calls make_bad_inode() in inappropriate situations, could have caused a system crash. NOTE: the original fix for this vulnerability was incomplete, and its incompleteness is tracked as CVE-2021-28950 (bnc#1184211).
• CVE-2021-30002: Fixed a memory leak issue when a webcam device exists (bnc#1184120).

• CVE-2021-28964: Fixed a race condition in fs/btrfs/ctree.c that could have caused a denial of service because of a lack of locking on an extent buffer before a cloning operation (bnc#1184193).
• CVE-2021-3444: Fixed the bpf verifier as it did not properly handle mod32 destination register truncation when the source register was known to be 0. A local attacker with the ability to load bpf programs could use this gain out-of-bounds reads in kernel memory leading to information disclosure (kernel memory), and possibly out-of-bounds writes that could potentially lead to code execution (bnc#1184170).
• CVE-2021-28971: Fixed a potential local denial of service in intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm where userspace applications can cause a system crash because the PEBS status in a PEBS record is mishandled (bnc#1184196).
• CVE-2021-28688: Fixed XSA-365 that includes initialization of pointers such that subsequent cleanup code wouldn't use uninitialized or stale values. This initialization went too far and may under certain conditions also overwrite…

• CVE-2021-20219: Fixed a denial of service vulnerability in drivers/tty/n_tty.c of the Linux kernel. In this flaw a local attacker with a normal user privilege could have delayed the loop and cause a threat to the system availability (bnc#1184397).
• CVE-2021-29265: Fixed an issue in usbip_sockfd_store in drivers/usb/usbip/stub_dev.c that allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (GPF) because the stub-up sequence has race conditions during an update of the local and shared status (bnc#1184167).
• CVE-2021-29264: Fixed an issue in drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/gianfar.c in the Freescale Gianfar Ethernet driver that allowed attackers to cause a system crash because a negative fragment size is calculated in situations involving an rx queue overrun when jumbo packets are used and NAPI is enabled (bnc#1184168).
• CVE-2021-28972: Fixed an issue in drivers/pci/hotplug/rpadlpar_sysfs.c where the RPA PCI Hotplug driver had a user-tolerable buffer overflow when writing a new device name to the driver from userspace, allowing userspace to write data to the kernel stack frame directly. This occurs because add_slot_store and remove_slot_store mishandle drc_name '\0' termination (bnc#1184198).

• CVE-2020-0433: Fixed blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter of blk-mq-tag.c, where a possible use after free due to improper locking could have happened. This could have led to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation (bnc#1176720).
• CVE-2021-27365: Fixed an issue inside the iSCSI data structures that does not have appropriate length constraints or checks, and can exceed the PAGE_SIZE value. An unprivileged user can send a Netlink message that is associated with iSCSI, and has a length up to the maximum length of a Netlink message (bnc#1182715).
• CVE-2021-27363: Fixed an issue with a kernel pointer leak that could have been used to determine the address of the iscsi_transport structure. When an iSCSI transport is registered with the iSCSI subsystem, the transport's handle is available to unprivileged users via the sysfs file system, at /sys/class/iscsi_transport/$TRANSPORT_NAME/handle. When read, the show_transport_handle function (in drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c) is called, which leaks the handle. This handle is actually the pointer to an iscsi_transport struct in the kernel module's global variables (bnc#1182716).

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP3 Azure kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

• CVE-2021-33200: Enforcing incorrect limits for pointer arithmetic operations by the BPF verifier could be abused to perform out-of-bounds reads and writes in kernel memory (bsc#1186484).
• CVE-2021-33034: Fixed a use-after-free when destroying an hci_chan. This could lead to writing an arbitrary values. (bsc#1186111)
• CVE-2020-26139: Fixed a denial-of-service when an Access Point (AP) forwards EAPOL frames to other clients even though the sender has not yet successfully authenticated to the AP. (bnc#1186062)
• CVE-2021-23134: A Use After Free vulnerability in nfc sockets allowed local attackers to elevate their privileges. (bnc#1186060)
• CVE-2021-3491: Fixed a potential heap overflow in mem_rw(). This vulnerability is related to the PROVIDE_BUFFERS operation, which allowed the MAX_RW_COUNT limit to be bypassed (bsc#1185642).
• CVE-2021-32399: Fixed a race condition when removing the HCI controller (bnc#1184611).
• CVE-2020-24586: The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that received fragments be cleared from memory after (re)connecting to a network. Under the right circumstances this can be abused to inject arbitrary network packets and/or exfiltrate user data (bnc#1185859).
• CVE-2020-24587: The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that all fragments of a frame are encrypted under the same key. An adversary can abuse this to decrypt selected fragments when another device sends fragmented frames and the WEP, CCMP, or GCMP encryption key is periodically renewed (bnc#1185859 bnc#1185862).
• CVE-2020-24588: The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that the A-MSDU flag in the plaintext QoS header field is authenticated. Against devices that support receiving non-SSP A-MSDU frames (which is mandatory as part of 802.11n), an adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets. (bnc#1185861)
• CVE-2020-26147: The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 implementations reassemble fragments, even though some of them were sent in plaintext. This vulnerability can be abused to inject packets and/or exfiltrate selected fragments when another device sends fragmented frames and the WEP, CCMP, or GCMP data-confidentiality protocol is used (bnc#1185859).
• CVE-2020-26145: An issue was discovered with Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305 4.4.4 devices. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 implementations accept second (or subsequent) broadcast fragments even when sent in plaintext and process them as full unfragmented frames. An adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets independent of the network configuration. (bnc#1185860)
• CVE-2020-26141: An issue was discovered in the ALFA driver for AWUS036H, where the Message Integrity Check (authenticity) of fragmented TKIP frames was not verified. An adversary can abuse this to inject and possibly decrypt packets in WPA or WPA2 networks that support the TKIP data-confidentiality protocol. (bnc#1185987)
• CVE-2021-29650: Fixed an issue with the netfilter subsystem that allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) because net/netfilter/x_tables.c and include/linux/netfilter/x_tables.h lack a full memory barrier upon the assignment of a new table value (bnc#1184208).
• CVE-2021-29155: Fixed an issue that was discovered in kernel/bpf/verifier.c that 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 was not correctly accounted for when…
