INSTALLING THE UPDATES
We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack running UEKR7 5.15.0 on
OL8 and OL9 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-2022-4139: Information disclosure in Intel HD Graphics Driver.
A flaw in Intel HD Graphics Driver when flushing translation lookaside
buffers could allow access to physical memory which might be already
assigned to a different process. A local user could use this flaw for
denial-of-service or information disclosure.
* Note: Oracle will not provide a zero-downtime update for XSA-423, XSA-424, CVE-2022-3643, CVE-2022-42328, CVE-2022-42329.
Oracle has determined that live patching XSA-423, XSA-424 on a
running system would not be safe. A flaw in the Xen PV network backend
(netback) when handling packets with malformed protocol headers can lead
to a crash. An unprivileged guest can cause a denial-of-service of the
host by sending malformed network packets to the backend. Hosts not
using Xen or PV drivers are not affected.
Oracle recommends a reboot to mitigate these issues if the host is affected.
* CVE-2019-19082: Memory leak when creating memory pool in AMD Display driver.
A missing free of resources when creating memory pools in AMD Display
driver could lead to a memory leak. A local attacker could use this flaw
to exhaust kernel memory and cause a denial-of-service.
* CVE-2022-45934: Denial-of-Service in Bluetooth L2CAP.
An integer overflow flaw in Bluetooth L2CAP when sending L2CAP
configuration request packets could result in a system crash. A local
user could use this flaw to cause a denial-of-service.
* CVE-2023-0179: Denial-of-service when handling VLAN headers.
A logic error in the handling of VLAN headers in netfilter could lead to
an out-of-bounds access. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a
denial-of-service or execute arbitrary code.
Orabug: 34978152
* CVE-2022-2873: Out-of-bounds memory access in iSMT.
A missing sanity check for a user controlled value in the Intel's iSMT
SMBus host controller driver when processing an SMBus command may lead
to a memory corruption by writing past the end of a buffer. A local
user could use this flaw for denial-of-service or code execution.
* CVE-2022-3424: Denial-of-service in SGI GRU driver.
A logic error when using SGI GRU driver could lead to a use-after-free.
A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial-of-service.
* CVE-2022-3435: Information disclosure in IPv4.
A flaw in ioctls of IPv4 could result in out-of-bounds read access.
A local user could use this flaw for information disclosure.
* CVE-2022-45869: Denial-of-service when using virtualization with TDP MMU.
A locking error when using nested virtualization with TDP MMU enabled
could lead to a race condition. An attacker from a guest could use this
flaw to cause a denial-of-service.
* CVE-2022-3344: Denial-of-service when allowing nested virtualization on AMD.
A logic error when handling nested guests from the hypervisor could lead
to a page fault on AMD. A guest attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial-
of-service.
* CVE-2022-3545: Use-after-free in Netronome Flow Processor Ethernet driver.
A logic flaw in error handling in Netronome Flow Processor Ethernet
driver could result in a use-after-free. A local attacker could use this
flaw for a denial-of-service or code execution.
* Note: Oracle will not provide a zero-downtime update for CVE-2022-47518.
The kernel is not affected by CVE-2022-47518 since the code under
consideration is not compiled.
* Note: Oracle will not provide a zero-downtime update for CVE-2022-3606.
The kernel is not affected by CVE-2022-3606 since the code under
consideration is not compiled.
