Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2022-0213)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel-linus' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2022-0213 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel-linus' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2022-0213 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
This kernel-linus update is based on upstream 5.15.43 and fixes at least
the following security issues:

A race condition in the perf subsystem allows for a local privilege
escalation. NOTE: Mageia kernels by default has disabled the perf usage
for unprivileged users, effectively rendering this vulnerability harmless
(CVE-2022-1729).

Kernel could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions,
caused by a lockdown break issue. By sending a specially-crafted request
using the kernel debugger, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability
to perform read and write access to kernel memory (CVE-2022-21499).

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).
