Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2021.0224
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2021-0224)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel, kmod-virtualbox, kmod-xtables-addons' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2021-0224 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel, kmod-virtualbox, kmod-xtables-addons' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2021-0224 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
This kernel update is based on upstream 5.10.41 and fixes at least the
following security issues:

A double-free memory corruption in the Linux kernel HCI device
initialization subsystem was found in the way user attach malicious HCI
TTY Bluetooth device. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system
(CVE-2021-3564).

kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 5.12.7 enforces incorrect
limits for pointer arithmetic operations. This can be abused to perform
out-of-bounds reads and writes in kernel memory, leading to local privilege
escalation to root. In particular, there is a corner case where the off reg
causes a masking direction change, which then results in an incorrect final
aux->alu_limit (CVE-2021-33200).

Other fixes in this update:
- proc: Check /proc/$pid/attr/ writes against file opener

For other upstream fixes, see the referenced changelogs.

Affected Software/OS:
'kernel, kmod-virtualbox, kmod-xtables-addons' package(s) on Mageia 7, Mageia 8.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
