Insight

Insight

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP3 kernel for Azure was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed: Unprivileged BPF has been disabled by default to reduce attack surface as too many security issues have happened in the past (jsc#SLE-22573) You can re-enable via systemctl setting /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled to 0. (kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled = 0) CVE-2021-0941: In bpf_skb_change_head of filter.c, there is a possible out of bounds read 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#1192045). CVE-2021-31916: An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory write flaw was found in list_devices in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c in the Multi-device driver module in the Linux kernel A bound check failure allowed an attacker with special user (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) privilege to gain access to out-of-bounds memory leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability (bnc#1192781). CVE-2021-20322: Make the ipv4 and ipv6 ICMP exception caches less predictive to avoid information leaks about UDP ports in use. (bsc#1191790) CVE-2021-34981: Fixed file refcounting in cmtp when cmtp_attach_device fails (bsc#1191961). CVE-2021-43389: There was an array-index-out-of-bounds flaw in the detach_capi_ctr function in drivers/isdn/capi/kcapi.c (bnc#1191958). CVE-2021-37159: hso_free_net_device in drivers/net/usb/hso.c called unregister_netdev without checking for the NETREG_REGISTERED state, leading to a use-after-free and a double free (bnc#1188601). The following non-security bugs were fixed: ABI: sysfs-kernel-slab: Document some stats (git-fixes). ALSA: hda: fix general protection fault in azx_runtime_idle (git-fixes). ALSA: hda: Free card instance properly at probe errors (git-fixes). ALSA: hda/realtek: Fix mic mute LED for the HP Spectre x360 14 (git-fixes). ALSA: hda: Reduce udelay() at SKL+ position reporting (git-fixes). ALSA: hda: Use position buffer for SKL+ again (git-fixes). ALSA: ua101: fix division by zero at probe (git-fixes). ALSA: uapi: Fix a C++ style comment in asound.h (git-fixes). ALSA: usb-audio: Add Audient iD14 to mixer map quirk table (git-fixes). ALSA: usb-audio: Add minimal-mute notion in dB mapping table (bsc#1192375). ALSA: usb-audio: Add Schiit Hel device to mixer map quirk table (git-fixes). ALSA: usb-audio: Fix dB level of Bose Revolve+ SoundLink (bsc#1192375). ALSA: usb-audio: Use int for dB map values (bsc#1192375). ARM: socfpga: Fix crash with CONFIG_FORTIRY_SOURCE (bsc#1192473). ASoC: cs42l42: Correct some register default values (git-fixes). ASoC: cs42l42: Defer probe if request_threaded_irq() returns EPROBE_DEFER (git-fixes). ASoC: cs42l42: Do not set defaults for volatile ... [Please see the references for more information on the vulnerabilities]
