SUSE-SU-2021:3992-1

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP5 Real Time kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

• Unprivileged BPF has been disabled by default to reduce attack surface as too many security issues have happened in the past (jsc#SLE-22573)

  You can reenable via systemctl setting /proc/sys/kernel/unprivilegedbpfdisabled to 0. (kernel.unprivilegedbpfdisabled = 0)

• CVE-2021-0941: In bpfskbchange_head of filter.c, there is a possible out of bounds read due to a use after free. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation (bnc#1192045).

• CVE-2021-31916: An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory write flaw was found in listdevices in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c in the Multi-device driver module in the Linux kernel A bound check failure allowed an attacker with special user (CAPSYS_ADMIN) privilege to gain access to out-of-bounds memory leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability (bnc#1192781).
• CVE-2021-20322: Make the ipv4 and ipv6 ICMP exception caches less predictive to avoid information leaks about UDP ports in use. (bsc#1191790)
• CVE-2021-34981: Fixed file refcounting in cmtp when cmtpattachdevice fails. (bsc#1191961)
