Summary

Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2022-49293: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_tables: initialize registers in nft_do_chain() CVE-2022-48931: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: configfs: fix a race in configfs_{,un}register_subsystem() CVE-2022-48930: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/ib_srp: Fix a deadlock CVE-2022-48919: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cifs: fix double free race when mount fails in cifs_get_root() CVE-2022-48912: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: fix use-after-free in __nf_register_net_hook() CVE-2022-48911: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_queue: fix possible use-after-free CVE-2022-48855: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sctp: fix kernel-infoleak for SCTP sockets CVE-2022-48850: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net-sysfs: add check for netdevice being present to speed_show CVE-2022-48839: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/packet: fix slab-out-of-bounds access in packet_recvmsg() CVE-2022-20368: Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID: A-224546354References: Upstream kernel CVE-2022-1016: A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in net/netfilter/nf_tables_core.c:nft_do_chain, which can cause a use-after-free. This issue needs to handle return with proper preconditions, as it can lead to a kernel information leak problem caused by a local, unprivileged attacker. CVE-2022-1015: A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in linux/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c of the netfilter subsystem. This flaw allows a local user to cause an out-of-bounds write issue.
