SB2022090768 - openEuler 22.03 LTS update for kernel

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1462)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the the Linux kernel’s TeleTYpe subsystem caused by a race condition when using ioctls TIOCSPTLCK and TIOCGPTPEER and TIOCSTI and TCXONC with leakage of memory file. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and crash the system or read random kernel memory.

2) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2503)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to the way dm-verity is used to restrict module/firmware loads to trusted root filesystem in LoadPin builds. Device-mapper table reloads currently allow users with root privileges to switch out the target with an equivalent dm-linear target and bypass verification till reboot. This allows root to bypass LoadPin and can be used to load untrusted and unverified kernel modules and firmware, which implies arbitrary kernel execution and persistence for peripherals that do not verify firmware updates.

3) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2959)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a missing lock in the pipe_resize_ring() function within the watch queue when performing operations on an object. A local user can exploit the race and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information and escalate privileges on the system.

4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2977)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in the Linux kernel implementation of proxied virtualized TPM devices. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

5) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2964)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the ASIX AX88179_178A-based USB 2.0/3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Devices driver in Linux kernel. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

6) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3028)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in the Linux kernel's IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem) when multiple calls to xfrm_probe_algs occurred simultaneously. A local user can exploit the race and escalate privileges on the system.
