Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.


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

CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


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.


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

CWE-ID: CWE-330 - Use of Insufficiently Random Values

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


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.


3) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-21123)

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows an attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists in Intel processors due to excessive data output when DirectPath I/O (PCI-Passthrough) is utilized. An attacker (both local and remote) with administrative access to a virtual machine that has an attached DirectPath I/O (PCI-Passthrough) device can obtain information stored in physical memory about the hypervisor or other virtual machines that reside on the same host.



4) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-21125)

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows an attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists in Intel processors due to excessive data output when DirectPath I/O (PCI-Passthrough) is utilized. An attacker (both local and remote) with administrative access to a virtual machine that has an attached DirectPath I/O (PCI-Passthrough) device can obtain information stored in physical memory about the hypervisor or other virtual machines that reside on the same host.




5) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-21166)

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows an attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists in Intel processors due to excessive data output when DirectPath I/O (PCI-Passthrough) is utilized. An attacker (both local and remote) with administrative access to a virtual machine that has an attached DirectPath I/O (PCI-Passthrough) device can obtain information stored in physical memory about the hypervisor or other virtual machines that reside on the same host.
