It was discovered that the JFS file system contained an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when printing xattr debug information. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-40902) Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - MIPS architecture; - PowerPC architecture; - x86 architecture; - ACPI drivers; - Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers; - Drivers core; - GPIO subsystem; - GPU drivers; - Greybus drivers; - HID subsystem; - I2C subsystem; - IIO subsystem; - InfiniBand drivers; - Media drivers; - VMware VMCI Driver; - Network drivers; - Pin controllers subsystem; - S/390 drivers; - SCSI drivers; - USB subsystem; - JFFS2 file system; - JFS file system; - File systems infrastructure; - NILFS2 file system; - IOMMU subsystem; - Sun RPC protocol; - Netfilter; - Memory management; - B.A.T.M.A.N. meshing protocol; - CAN network layer; - Ceph Core library; - Networking core; - IPv4 networking; - IPv6 networking; - IUCV driver; - MAC80211 subsystem; - NET/ROM layer; - Network traffic control; - SoC Audio for Freescale CPUs drivers; (CVE-2024-40916, CVE-2024-41035, CVE-2024-39469, CVE-2024-39499, CVE-2024-36978, CVE-2024-42092, CVE-2024-42087, CVE-2024-42102, CVE-2024-40978, CVE-2024-40902, CVE-2024-36974, CVE-2024-42096, CVE-2024-40974, CVE-2024-40904, CVE-2024-40905, CVE-2024-42153, CVE-2024-42106, CVE-2024-42070, CVE-2024-41097, CVE-2024-42090, CVE-2024-42105, CVE-2024-42104, CVE-2024-39502, CVE-2024-41089, CVE-2024-40945, CVE-2024-38619, CVE-2024-40961, CVE-2024-42127, CVE-2024-39487, CVE-2024-40988, CVE-2024-41044, CVE-2024-42236, CVE-2024-40942, CVE-2024-39506, CVE-2024-39509, CVE-2024-39503, CVE-2024-40934, CVE-2024-40959, CVE-2024-42101, CVE-2024-40960, CVE-2024-40968, CVE-2024-41087, CVE-2023-52803, CVE-2024-40987, CVE-2024-40943, CVE-2024-42089, CVE-2023-52887, CVE-2024-37078, CVE-2024-42148, CVE-2024-36894, CVE-2024-42097, CVE-2024-41006, CVE-2024-40984, CVE-2024-40963, CVE-2024-42223, CVE-2024-40912, CVE-2024-42086, CVE-2024-41049, CVE-2024-42157, CVE-2024-41034, CVE-2024-42145, CVE-2024-42124, CVE-2024-40995, CVE-2024-42224, CVE-2024-40981, CVE-2024-41095, CVE-2024-40901, CVE-2024-42115, CVE-2024-41041, CVE-2024-41007, CVE-2024-39505, CVE-2024-40932, CVE-2024-39495, CVE-2024-40980, CVE-2024-42084, CVE-2024-41046, CVE-2024-42119, CVE-2024-42076, CVE-2024-42232, CVE-2024-39501, CVE-2024-40958, CVE-2024-40941, CVE-2024-42093, CVE-2024-42094, CVE-2024-42154)

About

Kenya Education Network CERT(KENET-CERT) is a Cybersecurity Emergency Response Team and Co-ordination Center operated by the National Research and Education Network of Kenya. KENET-CERT coordination center promotes awareness on cybersecurity incidences as well as coordinates and assists member institutions in responding effectively to cyber security threats and incidences. KENET-CERT works closely with Kenya's National CIRT coordination center (CIRT/CC) as a sector CIRT for the academic institutions. KENET promotes use of ICT in Teaching, Learning and Research in Higher Education Institutions in Kenya. KENET aims to interconnect all the Universities, Tertiary and Research Institutions in Kenya by setting up a cost effective and sustainable private network with high speed access to the global Internet. KENET also facilitates electronic communication among students and faculties in member institutions, share learning and teaching resources by collaboration in Research and Development of Educational content.
