CVE-2021-4204: Red Hat Customer Portal - Access to 24x7 support and knowledge

An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's eBPF due to an Improper Input Validation. This flaw allows a local attacker with a special privilege to crash the system or leak internal information.

CVE-2021-4037: Invalid Bug ID

A vulnerability was found in the fs/inode.c:inode_init_owner() function logic of the LInux kernel that allows local users to create files for the XFS file-system with an unintended group ownership and with group execution and SGID permission bits set, in a scenario where a directory is SGID and belongs to a certain group and is writable by a user who is not a member of this group. This can lead to excessive permissions granted in case when they should not. This vulnerability is similar to the previous CVE-2018-13405 and adds the missed fix for the XFS.

CVE-2022-2978: fix UAF/GPF bug in nilfs_mdt_destroy

A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel NILFS file system was found in the way user triggers function security_inode_alloc to fail with following call to function nilfs_mdt_destroy. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

CVE-2021-4028: LKML: Greg Kroah-Hartman: [PATCH 5.10 22/93] RDMA/cma: Do not change route.addr.src_addr.ss_family

A flaw in the Linux kernel's implementation of RDMA communications manager listener code allowed an attacker with local access to setup a socket to listen on a high port allowing for a list element to be used after free. Given the ability to execute code, a local attacker could leverage this use-after-free to crash the system or possibly escalate privileges on the system.

CVE-2021-4218: Red Hat Customer Portal - Access to 24x7 support and knowledge

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s implementation of reading the SVC RDMA counters. Reading the counter sysctl panics the system. This flaw allows a local attacker with local access to cause a denial of service while the system reboots. The issue is specific to CentOS/RHEL.

CVE-2021-4209: Null pointer dereference in MD_UPDATE (#1306) · Issues · gnutls / GnuTLS · GitLab

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in GnuTLS. As Nettle's hash update functions internally call memcpy, providing zero-length input may cause undefined behavior. This flaw leads to a denial of service after authentication in rare circumstances.

CVE-2021-4159: Red Hat Customer Portal - Access to 24x7 support and knowledge

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's EBPF verifier when handling internal data structures. Internal memory locations could be returned to userspace. A local attacker with the permissions to insert eBPF code to the kernel can use this to leak internal kernel memory details defeating some of the exploit mitigations in place for the kernel.
