Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 RHSA-2022-7933 Moderate: Kernel-RT TCP Threat

red hat
Calendar Grey November 15, 2022
Dist Redhat Esm H88
The kernel-rt enhancement for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 tackles notable security vulnerabilities and counters potential TCP connection exploitation risks.
An update for kernel-rt is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9

Solution

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to:

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.

Summary

The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements.
Security Fix(es):
* off-path attacker may inject data or terminate victim's TCP session (CVE-2020-36516)
* use-after-free vulnerability in function sco_sock_sendmsg() (CVE-2021-3640)
* smb2_ioctl_query_info NULL pointer dereference (CVE-2022-0168)
* NULL pointer dereference in udf_expand_file_adinicbdue() during writeback (CVE-2022-0617)
* swiotlb information leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE (CVE-2022-0854)
* uninitialized registers on stack in nft_do_chain can cause kernel pointer leakage to UM (CVE-2022-1016)
* race condition in snd_pcm_hw_free leading to use-after-free (CVE-2022-1048)
* use-after-free and memory errors in ext4 when mounting and operating on a corrupted image (CVE-2022-1184)
* concurrency use-after-free between drm_setmaster_ioctl and drm_mode_getresources (CVE-2022-1280)
* kernel info leak issue in pfkey_register (CVE-2022-1353)
* use-after-free in ath9k_htc_probe_device() could cause an escalation of privileges (CVE-2022-1679)
* NULL pointer dereference in x86_emulate_insn may lead to DoS (CVE-2022-1852)
* fanotify misuses fd_install() which could lead to use-after-free (CVE-2022-1998)
* nf_tables cross-table potential use-after-free may lead to local privilege escalation (CVE-2022-2586)
* openvswitch: integer underflow leads to out-of-bounds write in reserve_sfa_size() (CVE-2022-2639)
* slab-out-of-bounds access in packet_recvmsg() (CVE-2022-20368)
* incomplete clean-up of multi-core shared buffers (aka SBDR) (CVE-2022-21123)
* incomplete clean-up of microarchitectural fill buffers (aka SBDS) (CVE-2022-21125)
* incomplete clean-up in specific special register write operations (aka DRPW) (CVE-2022-21166)
* possible to use the debugger to write zero into a location of choice (CVE-2022-21499)
* AMD: RetBleed Arbitrary Speculative Code Execution with Return Instructions (CVE-2022-23816, CVE-2022-29900)
* AMD: Branch Type Confusion (non-retbleed) (CVE-2022-23825)
* Intel: Post-barrier Return Stack Buffer Predictions (CVE-2022-26373)
* double free in ems_usb_start_xmit in drivers/net/can/usb/ems_usb.c (CVE-2022-28390)
* use after free in SUNRPC subsystem (CVE-2022-28893)
* use-after-free due to improper update of reference count in net/sched/cls_u32.c (CVE-2022-29581)
* Intel: RetBleed Arbitrary Speculative Code Execution with Return Instructions (CVE-2022-29901)
* DoS in nfqnl_mangle in net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue.c (CVE-2022-36946)
* nf_tables disallow binding to already bound chain (CVE-2022-39190)
* nfs_atomic_open() returns uninitialized data instead of ENOTDIR (CVE-2022-24448)
