Description

This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0812)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists in NFS over RDMA in the net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/rpc_rdma.c() function in RPCRDMA_HDRLEN_MIN (7). A local user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.


2) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1012)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient randomization in the net/ipv4/tcp.c when calculating port offsets in Linux kernel cause by small table perturb size. A remote attacker can cause memory leak and gain access to sensitive information.


3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2318)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error caused by timer handler in net/rose/rose_timer.c of linux. A local user can exploit the vulnerability to perform a denial of service attack.


4) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-26365)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to Linux Block and Network PV device frontends don't zero memory regions before sharing them with the backend. A local user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.


5) Use of insufficiently random values (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32296)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to Linux kernel allowing TCP servers to identify clients by observing what source ports are used. A local user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.


6) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-33740)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to Linux Block and Network PV device frontends don't zero memory regions before sharing them with the backend. A local user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.


7) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-33741)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to granularity of the grant table doesn't allow sharing less than a 4K page, leading to unrelated data residing in the same 4K page as data shared with a backend being accessible by such backend. A local user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.


8) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-33742)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to granularity of the grant table doesn't allow sharing less than a 4K page, leading to unrelated data residing in the same 4K page as data shared with a backend being accessible by such backend. A local user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.


9) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-33744)

The vulnerability allows an attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of foreign mappings performed by rbtree when mapping pages of Arm guests. An unprivileged Arm guest can cause inconsistencies of the rbtree via PV devices, which can lead to denial of service of dom0 and cause crashes or the inability to perform further mappings of other guests' memory pages.
