INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack running UEKR4 4.1.12 on
OL6 and OL7 install these updates.

On systems that have "autoinstall = yes" in /etc/uptrack/uptrack.conf,
these updates will be installed automatically and you do not need to
take any action.

Alternatively, you can install these updates by running:

# /usr/sbin/uptrack-upgrade -y

DESCRIPTION

* CVE-2022-26966: Information leak by the USB2NET SR9700 device driver.

The driver for SR9700 based USB ethernet devices does not correctly sanitize
packets allowing badly formatted packets to potentially leak information to
user space.

Orabug: 33962995

* CVE-2021-3772: Denial-of-service in the SCTP Network subsystem.

A flaw in the SCTP networking subsystem may allow an attacker to cause
denial-of-service by killing existing SCTP associations.

Orabug: 33924717

* CVE-2020-36516: Off-Path attack on the TCP/IP subsystem.

A flaw in the IPID assignment method can allow an attacker to inject
data into
a victim's TCP session or terminate the session.

Orabug: 33917058

* CVE-2021-20322: Information leak in IPv4 ICMP exception cache.

The IPv4 ICMP exception cache uses a hash table that is vulnerable to
brute force attacks. A malicious remote user might exploit this to learn
which UDP ports are in use on the system, potentially opening other
attack vectors.

Orabug: 33894531

* Note: Oracle will not provide a zero-downtime update for CVE-2022-0330.

Oracle has determined that patching CVE-2022-0330 on a running system
would not
be safe. The issue occurs only if a local user has privileges to access the
i915 Intel GPU and the user is running malicious code on it. Oracle
recommends
a reboot to mitigate these issues if the host is affected.

Orabug: 33835812
