The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP5 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.
The following security bugs were fixed:
CVE-2022-29900, CVE-2022-29901: Fixed the RETBLEED attack, a new Spectre like Branch Target Buffer attack, that can leak arbitrary kernel information (bsc#1199657).
CVE-2022-1679: Fixed a use-after-free in the Atheros wireless driver in the way a user forces the ath9khtcwaitfortarget function to fail with some input messages (bsc#1199487).
CVE-2022-20132: Fixed out of bounds read due to improper input validation in lg_probe and related functions of hid-lg.c (bsc#1200619).
CVE-2022-1012: Fixed information leak caused by small table perturb size in the TCP source port generation algorithm (bsc#1199482).
CVE-2022-33981: Fixed use-after-free in floppy driver (bsc#1200692)
CVE-2022-20141: Fixed a possible use after free due to improper locking in ipcheckmc_rcu() (bsc#1200604).
CVE-2021-4157: Fixed an out of memory bounds write flaw in the NFS subsystem, related to the replication of files with NFS. A user could potentially crash the system or escalate privileges on the system (bsc#1194013).
CVE-2022-20154: Fixed a use after free due to a race condition in locksocknested of sock.c. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed (bsc#1200599).
CVE-2022-2318: Fixed a use-after-free vulnerabilities in the timer handler in net/rose/rose_timer.c that allow attackers to crash the system without any privileges (bsc#1201251).
CVE-2022-26365, CVE-2022-33740, CVE-2022-33741, CVE-2022-33742: Fixed multiple potential data leaks with Block and Network devices when using untrusted backends (bsc#1200762).
The following non-security bugs were fixed:
audit: fix a race condition with the auditd tracking code (bsc#1197170).
block: bio-integrity: Advance seed correctly for larger interval sizes (git-fixes).
bnxten: Remove the setting of devport (git-fixes).
bonding: fix bondneighinit() (git-fixes).
dm crypt: Avoid percpucounter spinlock contention in cryptpage_alloc() (git-fixes).
