USN-7088-3: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Ziming Zhang discovered that the VMware Virtual GPU DRM driver in the Linux kernel contained an integer overflow vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-36402) 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: - ARM64 architecture; - PowerPC architecture; - User-Mode Linux (UML); - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - Android drivers; - Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers; - ATM drivers; - Drivers core; - CPU frequency scaling framework; - Device frequency scaling framework; - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - Hardware monitoring drivers; - InfiniBand drivers; - Input Device core drivers; - Input Device (Miscellaneous) drivers; - IOMMU subsystem; - IRQ chip drivers; - ISDN/mISDN subsystem; - LED subsystem; - Multiple devices driver; - Media drivers; - EEPROM drivers; - VMware VMCI Driver; - MMC subsystem; - Network drivers; - Near Field Communication (NFC) drivers; - NVME drivers; - Device tree and open firmware driver; - Parport drivers; - PCI subsystem; - Pin controllers subsystem; - Remote Processor subsystem; - S/390 drivers; - SCSI drivers; - QCOM SoC drivers; - Direct Digital Synthesis drivers; - TTY drivers; - Userspace I/O drivers; - DesignWare USB3 driver; - USB Gadget drivers; - USB Serial drivers; - BTRFS file system; - File systems infrastructure; - Ext4 file system; - F2FS file system; - JFS file system; - NILFS2 file system; - BPF subsystem; - Core kernel; - DMA mapping infrastructure; - Tracing infrastructure; - Radix Tree data structure library; - Kernel userspace event delivery library; - Objagg library; - Memory management; - Amateur Radio drivers; - Bluetooth subsystem; - CAN network layer; - Networking core; - Ethtool driver; - IPv4 networking; - IPv6 networking; - IUCV driver; - KCM (Kernel Connection Multiplexor) sockets driver; - MAC80211 subsystem; - Netfilter; - Network traffic control; - SCTP protocol; - Sun RPC protocol; - TIPC protocol; - TLS protocol; - Wireless networking; - AppArmor security module; - Simplified Mandatory Access Control Kernel framework; - SoC audio core drivers; - USB sound devices; (CVE-2021-47212, CVE-2024-44965, CVE-2024-46676, CVE-2024-41091, CVE-2024-44946, CVE-2024-43894, CVE-2024-26668, CVE-2024-42259, CVE-2024-42295, CVE-2024-46685, CVE-2024-46722, CVE-2024-45028, CVE-2024-46815, CVE-2024-41081, CVE-2024-41022, CVE-2024-44948, CVE-2024-42301, CVE-2024-43914, CVE-2024-46771, CVE-2024-42289, CVE-2024-43841, CVE-2024-41042, CVE-2024-44999, CVE-2024-43893, CVE-2024-46758, CVE-2024-46828, CVE-2024-36484, CVE-2024-26669, CVE-2024-44952, CVE-2024-42265, CVE-2024-42311, CVE-2024-43880, CVE-2024-41070, CVE-2024-46829, CVE-2024-42292, CVE-2024-46719, CVE-2024-41020, CVE-2024-41015, CVE-2024-42283, CVE-2024-46744, CVE-2024-46679, CVE-2024-46800, CVE-2024-46777, CVE-2024-43835, CVE-2024-42271, CVE-2024-43882, CVE-2024-41072, CVE-2024-35848, CVE-2024-43860, CVE-2024-38611, CVE-2024-26607, CVE-2024-47663, CVE-2024-46780, CVE-2024-46675, CVE-2024-45003, CVE-2024-44969, CVE-2024-42244, CVE-2024-43856, CVE-2024-46755, CVE-2024-42286, CVE-2024-41063, CVE-2024-41068, CVE-2024-46743, CVE-2024-43839, CVE-2024-41065, CVE-2023-52531, CVE-2024-41090, CVE-2024-46747, CVE-2023-52614, CVE-2024-43853, CVE-2024-46737, CVE-2024-45021, CVE-2024-41012, CVE-2024-41064, CVE-2024-26800, CVE-2024-42246, CVE-2024-43908, CVE-2024-46723, CVE-2024-42310, CVE-2024-46781, CVE-2023-52918, CVE-2024-42313, CVE-2024-45006, CVE-2024-43890, CVE-2024-44954, CVE-2024-43858, CVE-2024-41098, CVE-2024-41071, CVE-2024-26641, CVE-2024-42280, CVE-2024-46673, CVE-2024-43846, CVE-2024-46721, CVE-2024-47667, CVE-2024-26885, CVE-2024-42304, CVE-2024-46745, CVE-2024-26640, CVE-2024-43861, CVE-2024-42287, CVE-2024-44998, CVE-2024-40929, CVE-2024-41073, CVE-2024-46689, CVE-2024-44944, CVE-2024-46756, CVE-2024-42305, CVE-2024-42284, CVE-2024-42281, CVE-2024-42288, CVE-2024-41011, CVE-2024-47668, CVE-2024-43830, CVE-2024-46740, CVE-2024-46677, CVE-2024-43867, CVE-2024-46783, CVE-2024-46844, CVE-2024-43854, CVE-2024-42297, CVE-2024-46738, CVE-2024-46739, CVE-2024-44947, CVE-2024-43883, CVE-2024-43884, CVE-2024-46798, CVE-2024-46757, CVE-2024-43879, CVE-2024-47659, CVE-2024-46817, CVE-2024-45008, CVE-2024-47669, CVE-2024-43871, CVE-2024-44960, CVE-2024-27051, CVE-2024-44988, CVE-2024-46840, CVE-2024-41059, CVE-2024-46822, CVE-2024-42276, CVE-2024-45026, CVE-2024-46761, CVE-2024-44995, CVE-2024-44987, CVE-2024-26891, CVE-2024-46782, CVE-2024-42309, CVE-2024-42131, CVE-2024-46759, CVE-2024-42229, CVE-2024-46714, CVE-2024-42290, CVE-2024-44935, CVE-2024-42285, CVE-2024-38602, CVE-2024-43829, CVE-2024-42306, CVE-2024-41017, CVE-2024-45025, CVE-2024-46818, CVE-2024-46750)

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.
