    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2021-4037:
    A vulnerability was found in the fs/inode.c:inode_init_owner() function logic of the LInux kernel that     allows local users to create files for the XFS file-system with an unintended group ownership and with     group execution and SGID permission bits set, in a scenario where a directory is SGID and belongs to a     certain group and is writable by a user who is not a member of this group. This can lead to excessive     permissions granted in case when they should not. This vulnerability is similar to the previous     CVE-2018-13405 and adds the missed fix for the XFS.

    CVE-2022-0171:
    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The existing KVM SEV API has a vulnerability that allows a non-root     (host) user-level application to crash the host kernel by creating a confidential guest VM instance in AMD     CPU that supports Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV).

    CVE-2022-1679:
    A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel?s Atheros wireless adapter driver in the way a user     forces the ath9k_htc_wait_for_target function to fail with some input messages. This flaw allows a local     user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

    CVE-2022-2585:
    A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel?s POSIX CPU timers functionality in the way a user     creates and then deletes the timer in the non-leader thread of the program. This flaw allows a local user     to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

    CVE-2022-2586:
    A use-after-free flaw was found in nf_tables cross-table in the net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c function in     the Linux kernel. This flaw allows a local, privileged attacker to cause a use-after-free problem at the     time of table deletion, possibly leading to local privilege escalation.

    CVE-2022-2588:
    A use-after-free flaw was found in route4_change in the net/sched/cls_route.c filter implementation in the     Linux kernel. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system and possibly lead to a local privilege     escalation problem.

    CVE-2022-2602:
    A vulnerability was found in PostgreSQL. This attack requires permission to create non-temporary objects     in at least one schema, the ability to lure or wait for an administrator to create or update an affected     extension in that schema, and the ability to lure or wait for a victim to use the object targeted in     CREATE OR REPLACE or CREATE IF NOT EXISTS. Given all three prerequisites, this flaw allows an attacker to     run arbitrary code as the victim role, which may be a superuser.

    CVE-2022-26373:
    Non-transparent sharing of return predictor targets between contexts in some Intel(R) Processors may allow     an authorized user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access.

    CVE-2022-3061:
    Found Linux Kernel flaw in the i740 driver. The Userspace program could pass any values to the driver     through ioctl() interface. The driver doesn't check the value of 'pixclock', so it may cause a divide by     zero error.

    CVE-2022-3169:
    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A denial of service flaw may occur if there is a consecutive request     of the NVME_IOCTL_RESET and the NVME_IOCTL_SUBSYS_RESET through the device file of the driver, resulting     in a PCIe link disconnect.

    CVE-2022-3176:
    There exists a use-after-free in io_uring in the Linux kernel. Signalfd_poll() and binder_poll() use a     waitqueue whose lifetime is the current task. It will send a POLLFREE notification to all waiters before     the queue is freed. Unfortunately, the io_uring poll doesn't handle POLLFREE. This allows a use-after-free     to occur if a signalfd or binder fd is polled with io_uring poll, and the waitqueue gets freed. We     recommend upgrading past commit fc78b2fc21f10c4c9c4d5d659a685710ffa63659

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.06, has kernel packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - There are use-after-free vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel's net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c's l2cap_connect     and l2cap_le_connect_req functions which may allow code execution and leaking kernel memory (respectively)     remotely via Bluetooth. A remote attacker could execute code leaking kernel memory via Bluetooth if within     proximity of the victim. We recommend upgrading past commit https://www.google.com/url     https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/711f8c3fb3db61897080468586b970c87c61d9e4     https://www.google.com/url (CVE-2022-42896)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.18.9. A type confusion bug in nft_set_elem_init     (leading to a buffer overflow) could be used by a local attacker to escalate privileges, a different     vulnerability than CVE-2022-32250. (The attacker can obtain root access, but must start with an     unprivileged user namespace to obtain CAP_NET_ADMIN access.) This can be fixed in nft_setelem_parse_data     in net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c. (CVE-2022-34918)

  - When sending malicous data to kernel by ioctl cmd FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO,kernel will write memory out of     bounds. (CVE-2021-33655)

  - When setting font with malicous data by ioctl cmd PIO_FONT,kernel will write memory out of bounds.
    (CVE-2021-33656)

  - A vulnerability was found in the fs/inode.c:inode_init_owner() function logic of the LInux kernel that     allows local users to create files for the XFS file-system with an unintended group ownership and with     group execution and SGID permission bits set, in a scenario where a directory is SGID and belongs to a     certain group and is writable by a user who is not a member of this group. This can lead to excessive     permissions granted in case when they should not. This vulnerability is similar to the previous     CVE-2018-13405 and adds the missed fix for the XFS. (CVE-2021-4037)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of kernel-generic installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.80 / 5.15.80_smp. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2022-333-01 advisory.

    New kernel packages are available for Slackware 15.0 to fix security issues.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the kernel-generic security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.
