Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2021.0367
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2021-0367)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel-linus' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2021-0367 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel-linus' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2021-0367 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
This kernel-linus update is based on upstream 5.10.52 and fixes at least
the following security issues:

There is a race condition in net/can/bcm.c that can lead to local
privilege escalation to root (CVE-2021-3609).

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel. Missing size validations on
inbound SCTP packets may allow the kernel to read uninitialized memory
(CVE-2021-3655).

fs/seq_file.c in the Linux kernel 3.16 through 5.13.x before 5.13.4 does
not properly restrict seq buffer allocations, leading to an integer
overflow, an Out-of-bounds Write, and escalation to root by an unprivileged
user (CVE-2021-33909).

For other upstream fixes, see the referenced changelogs.

Affected Software/OS:
'kernel-linus' package(s) on Mageia 8.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
7.2
