Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2021-0409)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel, kmod-virtualbox, kmod-xtables-addons' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2021-0409 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel, kmod-virtualbox, kmod-xtables-addons' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2021-0409 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: This kernel update is based on upstream 5.10.60 and fixes at least the following security issues: Specifically timed and handcrafted traffic can cause internal errors in a WLAN device that lead to improper layer 2 Wi-Fi encryption with a consequent possibility of information disclosure over the air for a discrete set of traffic in ath9k (CVE-2020-3702). A missing validation of the 'int_ctl' VMCB field allows a malicious L1 guest to enable AVIC support (Advanced Virtual Interrupt Controller) for the L2 guest. The L2 guest is able to write to a limited but still relatively large subset of the host physical memory, resulting in a crash of the entire system, leak of sensitive data or potential guest-to-host escape (CVE-2021-3653). A missing validation of the 'virt_ext' VMCB field and allows a malicious L1 guest to disable both VMLOAD/VMSAVE intercepts and VLS (Virtual VMLOAD/VMSAVE) for the L2 guest. Under these circumstances, the L2 guest is able to run VMLOAD/VMSAVE unintercepted, and thus read/write portions of the host physical memory, resulting in a crash of the entire system, leak of sensitive data or potential guest-to-host escape (CVE-2021-3656). In kernel/bpf/hashtab.c in the Linux kernel through 5.13.8, there is an integer overflow and out-of-bounds write when many elements are placed in a single bucket (CVE-2021-38166). drivers/net/ethernet/xilinx/xilinx_emaclite.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.3 makes it easier for attackers to defeat an ASLR protection mechanism because it prints a kernel pointer (CVE-2021-38205). Other fixes in this update: - cfi_cmdset_0002: fix crash when erasing/writing AMD cards For other upstream fixes, see the referenced changelogs. Affected Software/OS: 'kernel, kmod-virtualbox, kmod-xtables-addons' package(s) on Mageia 8. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.2 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
