Calendar Grey November 1, 2022
Dist Debian Esm H88
Debian LTS participants can now access patches for multiple security vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel 5.10, which could lead to privilege escalation or data exposure risks

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks.

Summary

CVE-2021-4037

Christian Brauner reported that the inode_init_owner function for
the XFS filesystem in the Linux kernel allows local users to
create files with an unintended group ownership allowing attackers
to escalate privileges by making a plain file executable and SGID.

CVE-2022-0171

Mingwei Zhang reported that a cache incoherence issue in the SEV
API in the KVM subsystem may result in denial of service.

CVE-2022-1184

A flaw was discovered in the ext4 filesystem driver which can lead
to a use-after-free. A local user permitted to mount arbitrary
filesystems could exploit this to cause a denial of service (crash
or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2022-1679

The syzbot tool found a race condition in the ath9k_htc driver
which can lead to a use-after-free. This might be exploitable to
cause a denial service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly
for privilege escalation.

CVE-2022-2153
