Severity Important
Affected Packages 20
CVEs 8
Info Packages References Vulnerabilities

An update for kernel is now available for AlmaLinux AlmaLinux Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: kernel (4.18.0). (BZ#2036888)

Security Fix(es):

  • kernel: improper initialization of the "flags" member of the new pipe_buffer (CVE-2022-0847)

  • kernel: Use After Free in unix_gc() which could result in a local privilege escalation (CVE-2021-0920)

  • kernel: local privilege escalation by exploiting the fsconfig syscall parameter leads to container breakout (CVE-2021-4154)

  • kernel: possible privileges escalation due to missing TLB flush (CVE-2022-0330)

  • kernel: remote stack overflow via kernel panic on systems using TIPC may lead to DoS (CVE-2022-0435)

  • kernel: cgroups v1 release_agent feature may allow privilege escalation (CVE-2022-0492)

  • kernel: missing check in ioctl allows kernel memory read/write (CVE-2022-0516)

  • kernel: failing usercopy allows for use-after-free exploitation (CVE-2022-22942)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
