Description

Security update for the Linux Kernel The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP5 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed: - Unprivileged BPF has been disabled by default to reduce attack surface as too many security issues have happened in the past (jsc#SLE-22573) You can reenable via systemctl setting /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled to 0. (kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled = 0) - CVE-2021-0941: In bpf_skb_change_head of filter.c, there is a possible out of bounds read due to a use after free. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation (bnc#1192045). - CVE-2021-31916: An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory write flaw was found in list_devices in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c in the Multi-device driver module in the Linux kernel A bound check failure allowed an attacker with special user (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) privilege to gain access to out-of-bounds memory leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability (bnc#1192781). - CVE-2021-20322: Make the ipv4 and ipv6 ICMP exception caches less predictive to avoid information leaks about UDP ports in use. (bsc#1191790) - CVE-2021-34981: Fixed file refcounting in cmtp when cmtp_attach_device fails. (bsc#1191961) The following non-security bugs were fixed: - arm64: pgtable: make __pte_to_phys/__phys_to_pte_val inline functions (git-fixes). - arm64/sve: Use correct size when reinitialising SVE state (git-fixes). - bpf: Add kconfig knob for disabling unpriv bpf by default (jsc#SLE-22913) - bpf: Disallow unprivileged bpf by default (jsc#SLE-22913). - bpf: Fix potential race in tail call compatibility check (git-fixes). - bpf: Move owner type, jited info into array auxiliary data (bsc#1141655). - bpf: Use kvmalloc for map values in syscall (stable-5.14.16). - btrfs: fix memory ordering between normal and ordered work functions (git-fixes). - config: disable unprivileged BPF by default (jsc#SLE-22913) - drivers: base: cacheinfo: Get rid of DEFINE_SMP_CALL_CACHE_FUNCTION() (git-fixes). - drm: fix spectre issue in vmw_execbuf_ioctl (bsc#1192802). - EDAC/sb_edac: Fix top-of-high-memory value for Broadwell/Haswell (bsc#1114648). - fuse: fix page stealing (bsc#1192718). - gigaset: fix spectre issue in do_data_b3_req (bsc#1192802). - hisax: fix spectre issues (bsc#1192802). - hysdn: fix spectre issue in hycapi_send_message (bsc#1192802). - i2c: synquacer: fix deferred probing (git-fixes). - ibmvnic: check failover_pending in login response (bsc#1190523 ltc#194510). - ibmvnic: do not stop queue in xmit (bsc#1192273 ltc#194629). - ibmvnic: Process crqs after enabling interrupts (bsc#1192273 ltc#194629). - infiniband: fix spectre issue in ib_uverbs_write (bsc#1192802). - iwlwifi: fix spectre issue in iwl_dbgfs_update_pm (bsc#1192802). - media: dvb_ca_en50221: prevent using slot_info for Spectre attacs (bsc#1192802). - media: dvb_ca_en50221: sanity check slot number from userspace (bsc#1192802). - media: wl128x: get rid of a potential spectre issue (bsc#1192802). - mm/hugetlb: initialize hugetlb_usage in mm_init (bsc#1192906). - mpt3sas: fix spectre issues (bsc#1192802). - net: sock_diag: Fix spectre v1 gadget in __sock_diag_cmd() (bsc#1192802). - osst: fix spectre issue in osst_verify_frame (bsc#1192802). - prctl: allow to setup brk for et_dyn executables (git-fixes). - printk/console: Allow to disable console output by using console='' or console=null (bsc#1192753). - printk: handle blank console arguments passed in (bsc#1192753). - printk: Remove printk.h inclusion in percpu.h (bsc#1192987). - Revert 'ibmvnic: check failover_pending in login response' (bsc#1190523 ltc#194510). - Revert 'x86/kvm: fix vcpu-id indexed array sizes' (git-fixes). - scsi: be2iscsi: Fix an error handling path in beiscsi_dev_probe() (git-fixes). - scsi: BusLogic: Fix missing pr_cont() use (git-fixes). - scsi: core: Fix error handling of scsi_host_alloc() (git-fixes). - scsi: core: Fix spelling in a source code comment (git-fixes). - scsi: core: Only put parent device if host state differs from SHOST_CREATED (git-fixes). - scsi: core: Put .shost_dev in failure path if host state changes to RUNNING (git-fixes). - scsi: core: Retry I/O for Notify (Enable Spinup) Required error (git-fixes). - scsi: csiostor: Add module softdep on cxgb4 (git-fixes). - scsi: csiostor: Uninitialized data in csio_ln_vnp_read_cbfn() (git-fixes). - scsi: dc395: Fix error case unwinding (git-fixes). - scsi: FlashPoint: Rename si_flags field (git-fixes). - scsi: iscsi: Fix iface sysfs attr detection (git-fixes). - scsi: libsas: Use _safe() loop in sas_resume_port() (git-fixes). - scsi: mpt3sas: Fix error return value in _scsih_expander_add() (git-fixes). - scsi: qedf: Add pointer checks in qedf_update_link_speed() (git-fixes). - scsi: qedf: Fix error codes in qedf_alloc_global_queues() (git-fixes). - scsi: qedi: Fix error codes in qedi_alloc_global_queues() (git-fixes). - scsi: qla2xxx: Fix a memory leak in an error path of qla2x00_process_els() (git-fixes). - scsi: qla2xxx: Make sure that aborted commands are freed (git-fixes). - scsi: snic: Fix an error message (git-fixes). - scsi: ufs: ufshcd-pltfrm: Fix memory leak due to probe defer (git-fixes). - soc: fsl: dpio: replace smp_processor_id with raw_smp_processor_id (git-fixes). - swiotlb-xen: avoid double free (git-fixes). - sysvipc/sem: mitigate semnum index against spectre v1 (bsc#1192802). - tracing: use %ps format string to print symbols (git-fixes). - tty: serial: fsl_lpuart: fix the wrong mapbase value (git-fixes). - Update config files: Add CONFIG_BPF_UNPRIV_DEFAULT_OFF is not set - x86/xen: Mark cpu_bringup_and_idle() as dead_end_function (git-fixes). - x86/Xen: swap NX determination and GDT setup on BSP (git-fixes). - xen: Fix implicit type conversion (git-fixes). - xen-pciback: Fix return in pm_ctrl_init() (git-fixes). - xen-pciback: redo VF placement in the virtual topology (git-fixes). - xen/x86: fix PV trap handling on secondary processors (git-fixes).
