Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.

1) Integer underflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU104788

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 5.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-49563

CWE-ID: CWE-191 - Integer underflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to integer underflow within the qat_rsa_enc() and qat_rsa_dec() functions in drivers/crypto/qat/qat_common/qat_asym_algs.c. A local user can execute arbitrary code.

Mitigation

Update the affected package the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 55 for SLE 15 SP3) to the latest version.
