Summary
Security update for the Linux Kernel
Details

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).
