CVE-2021-4083

A read-after-free memory flaw was found in the Linux kernel's garbage collection for Unix domain socket file handlers in the way users call close() and fget() simultaneously and can potentially trigger a race condition. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system. This flaw affects Linux kernel versions prior to 5.16-rc4.

The Linux Kernel, the operating system core itself.

A read-after-free memory flaw was found in the Linux kernel s garbage collection for Unix domain socket file handlers in the way users call close() and fget() simultaneously and can potentially trigger a race condition. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system.(CVE-2021-4083)

This kernel update is based on upstream 5.15.10 and fixes at least the following security issues:

A read-after-free memory flaw was found in the Linux kernel's garbage collection for Unix domain socket file handlers in the way users call close() and fget() simultaneously and can potentially trigger a race condition. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system (CVE-2021-4083).

An attacker can access kernel memory bypassing valid buffer boundaries by exploiting implementation of control request handlers in the following usb gadgets - rndis, hid, uac1, uac1_legacy and uac2. Processing of malicious control transfer requests with unexpectedly large wLength lacks assurance that this value does not exceed the buffer size. Due to this fact one is capable of reading and/or writing (depending on particular case) up to 65k of kernel memory. Devices implementing affected usb device gadget classes may be affected by buffer overflow vulnerabilities resulting in information disclosure, denial of service or execution of arbitrary code in kernel context (CVE-2021-39685).

In the Linux kernel through 5.15.2, hw_atl_utils_fw_rpc_wait in drivers/net/ ethernet/aquantia/atlantic/hw_atl/hw_atl_utils.c allows an attacker (who can introduce a crafted device) to trigger an out-of-bounds write via a crafted length value (CVE-2021-43975).

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP2 LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

• CVE-2022-0185: Incorrect param length parsing in legacy_parse_param which could have led to a local privilege escalation (bsc#1194517).
• CVE-2022-0322: Fixed a denial of service in SCTP sctp_addto_chunk (bsc#1194985).
• CVE-2021-44733: Fixed a use-after-free exists in drivers/tee/tee_shm.c in the TEE subsystem in the Linux kernel that occured because of a race condition in tee_shm_get_from_id during an attempt to free a shared memory object (bnc#1193767).
• CVE-2021-4197: Fixed a cgroup issue where lower privileged processes could write to fds of lower privileged ones that could lead to privilege escalation (bsc#1194302).
• CVE-2021-4135: Fixed an information leak in the nsim_bpf_map_alloc function (bsc#1193927).
• CVE-2021-4202: Fixed a race condition during NFC device remove which could lead to a use-after-free memory corruption (bsc#1194529)
• CVE-2021-4083: A read-after-free memory flaw was found in the Linux kernel's garbage collection for Unix domain socket file handlers in the way users call close() and fget() simultaneously and can potentially trigger a race condition. This flaw allowed a local user to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system. (bnc#1193727).
• CVE-2021-4149: Fixed a locking condition in btrfs which could lead to system deadlocks (bsc#1194001).
• CVE-2021-45485: The IPv6 implementation in net/ipv6/output_core.c had an information leak because of certain use of a hash table which, although big, doesn't properly consider that IPv6-based attackers can typically choose among many IPv6 source addresses (bnc#1194094).
• CVE-2021-45486: The IPv4 implementation in net/ipv4/route.c had an information leak because the hash table is very small (bnc#1194087).
• CVE-2021-4001: A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's ebpf verifier between bpf_map_update_elem and bpf_map_freeze due to a missing lock in kernel/bpf/syscall.c. In this flaw, a local user with a special privilege (cap_sys_admin or cap_bpf) can modify the frozen mapped address space. (bnc#1192990).
• CVE-2021-28715: Guest can force Linux netback driver to hog large amounts of kernel memory. Incoming data packets for a guest in the Linux kernel's netback driver are buffered until the guest is ready to process them. There are some measures taken for avoiding to pile up too much data, but those can be bypassed by the guest: There was a timeout how long the client side of an interface can stop consuming new packets before it is assumed to have stalled, but this timeout is rather long (60 seconds by default). Using a UDP connection on a fast interface can easily accumulate gigabytes of data in that time. (CVE-2021-28715) The timeout could even never trigger if the guest manages to have only one free slot in its RX queue ring page and the next package would require more than one free slot, which may be the case when using GSO, XDP, or software hashing.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP3 LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

• CVE-2018-25020: Fixed an overflow in the BPF subsystem due to a mishandling of a long jump over an instruction sequence where inner instructions require substantial expansions into multiple BPF instructions. This affects kernel/bpf/core.c and net/core/filter.c (bnc#1193575).
• CVE-2019-0136: Fixed insufficient access control in the Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software driver that may have allowed an unauthenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via adjacent access (bnc#1193157).
• CVE-2020-35519: Fixed out-of-bounds memory access in x25_bind in net/x25/af_x25.c. A bounds check failure allowed a local attacker with a user account on the system to gain access to out-of-bounds memory, leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information (bnc#1183696).
• CVE-2021-0935: Fixed possible out of bounds write in ip6_xmit of ip6_output.c 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#1192032).
• CVE-2021-28711: Fixed issue with xen/blkfront to harden blkfront against event channel storms (XSA-391) (bsc#1193440).

• CVE-2021-3564: Fixed double-free memory corruption in the Linux kernel HCI device initialization subsystem that could have been used by attaching malicious HCI TTY Bluetooth devices. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system (bnc#1186207).
• CVE-2021-39648: Fixed possible disclosure of kernel heap memory due to a race condition in gadget_dev_desc_UDC_show of configfs.c. This could lead to local information disclosure with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation (bnc#1193861).
• CVE-2021-39657: Fixed out of bounds read due to a missing bounds check in ufshcd_eh_device_reset_handler of ufshcd.c. This could lead to local information disclosure with System execution privileges needed (bnc#1193864).
