RHSA-2022:8973 - Security Advisory

Sujet

An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.0 Extended Update Support.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

Description

Security Fix(es):

• kernel: KVM: cmpxchg_gpte can write to pfns outside the userspace region (CVE-2022-1158)
• kernel: openvswitch: integer underflow leads to out-of-bounds write in reserve_sfa_size() (CVE-2022-2639)
• kernel: watch queue race condition can lead to privilege escalation (CVE-2022-2959)
• kernel: nfsd buffer overflow by RPC message over TCP with garbage data (CVE-2022-43945)
• hw: cpu: incomplete clean-up of multi-core shared buffers (aka SBDR) (CVE-2022-21123)
• hw: cpu: incomplete clean-up of microarchitectural fill buffers (aka SBDS) (CVE-2022-21125)
• hw: cpu: incomplete clean-up in specific special register write operations (aka DRPW) (CVE-2022-21166)
• hw: cpu: AMD: RetBleed Arbitrary Speculative Code Execution with Return Instructions (CVE-2022-23816, CVE-2022-29900)
• hw: cpu: AMD: Branch Type Confusion (non-retbleed) (CVE-2022-23825)
• hw: cpu: Intel: Post-barrier Return Stack Buffer Predictions (CVE-2022-26373)
