kernel-4.18.0-513.24.1.el8_9

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

Security Fix(es):

* kernel: vmwgfx: NULL pointer dereference in vmw_cmd_dx_define_query (CVE-2022-38096)
* kernel: Out of boundary write in perf_read_group() as result of overflow a perf_event's read_size (CVE-2023-6931)
* kernel: GSM multiplexing race condition leads to privilege escalation (CVE-2023-6546,ZDI-CAN-20527)
* kernel: CIFS Filesystem Decryption Improper Input Validation Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in function receive_encrypted_standard of client (CVE-2024-0565)
* kernel: use-after-free in amdgpu_cs_wait_all_fences in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_cs.c (CVE-2023-51042)
* kernel: ext4: kernel bug in ext4_write_inline_data_end() (CVE-2021-33631)
* kernel: nf_tables: use-after-free vulnerability in the nft_verdict_init() function (CVE-2024-1086)

CVE-2021-33631
Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability in openEuler kernel on Linux (filesystem modules) allows Forced Integer Overflow.This issue affects openEuler kernel: from 4.19.90 before 4.19.90-2401.3, from 5.10.0-60.18.0 before 5.10.0-183.0.0.
CVE-2022-38096
A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability was found in vmwgfx driver in drivers/gpu/vmxgfx/vmxgfx_execbuf.c in GPU component of Linux kernel with device file '/dev/dri/renderD128 (or Dxxx)'. This flaw allows a local attacker with a user account on the system to gain privilege, causing a denial of service(DoS).
CVE-2023-51042
In the Linux kernel before 6.4.12, amdgpu_cs_wait_all_fences in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_cs.c has a fence use-after-free.
CVE-2023-6546
A race condition was found in the GSM 0710 tty multiplexor in the Linux kernel. This issue occurs when two threads execute the GSMIOC_SETCONF ioctl on the same tty file descriptor with the gsm line discipline enabled, and can lead to a use-after-free problem on a struct gsm_dlci while restarting the gsm mux. This could allow a local unprivileged user to escalate their privileges on the system.
CVE-2023-6931
A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Performance Events system component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. A perf_event's read_size can overflow, leading to an heap out-of-bounds increment or write in perf_read_group(). We recommend upgrading past commit 382c27f4ed28f803b1f1473ac2d8db0afc795a1b.
CVE-2024-0565
An out-of-bounds memory read flaw was found in receive_encrypted_standard in fs/smb/client/smb2ops.c in the SMB Client sub-component in the Linux Kernel. This issue occurs due to integer underflow on the memcpy length, leading to a denial of service.
CVE-2024-1086
A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. The nft_verdict_init() function allows positive values as drop error within the hook verdict, and hence the nf_hook_slow() function can cause a double free vulnerability when NF_DROP is issued with a drop error which resembles NF_ACCEPT. We recommend upgrading past commit f342de4e2f33e0e39165d8639387aa6c19dff660.
