Release Date:
2022-03-02 08:28:02
  • PSBM-136140

    A flaw in XFS allows non-root users to read raw data from a mounted block device (CVE-2021-4155).

  • PSBM-136851

    Potential memory corruption in nfsd4_lock().

  • PSBM-136295

    fs/locks.c: Node crash BUG in locks_insert_block().

  • PSBM-136369

    fs: potential kernel crash in inode_permission() when processing paths containing '..'.

  • PSBM-134905

    nfsd: memory corruption and kernel crash in nfsd4_lock.

    It was discovered that certain operations with locks on NFS could result in a memory corruption and kernel crash in nfsd4_lock(). Note that, although the patch prevents new issues of this kind, it cannot fix the corruptions that have already occurred. So, kernel crashes are still possible even within a few hours after the ReadyKernel update has been applied, but should disappear after the reboot of the affected nodes.
  • PSBM-130907

    Kernel crash due to lack of enough skb headroom.

    It was found that the kernel could crash (skb_under_panic) when TEE target mirrors traffic to another interface. In this case skb may not have enough headroom to be processed correctly. It had been fixed for IPv4 but IPv6 continued to have the bug.
  • PSBM-134323

    Memory allocation failed unexpectedly in __add_to_page_cache_locked().

    Ext4 FS was unexpectedly remounted read-only in a container after the container reached the limits set in the memory cgroup. It happened because the relevant memory allocations failed in __add_to_page_cache_locked while __GFP_NOFAIL flag was dropped for certain reason.
  • PSBM-130508

    ext4: using RENAME_WHITEOUT flag when renaming files could cause file system errors ('deleted inode referenced').

  • CVE-2021-33909

    size_t-to-int conversion vulnerability in the filesystem layer.

    It was discovered that the implementation of seq_file files in the Linux kernel contained an error related to integer conversion (size_t to a signed integer). A local unprivileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code.

    sch_teql: kernel crash in teql_destroy().

  • PSBM-129374

    ext4: timestamps could be updated in wrong inodes in certain cases, if the filesystem was mounted with 'lazytime' option.

  • PSBM-92950

    Memory leaks could happen when network-related structures were created for a starting container.
  • PSBM-128140

    netfilter: potential memory corruption in certain setsockopt() operations.

    It was discovered that an attacker could use a specially crafted sequence of system calls in a container to trigger a memory corruption in the implementation of setsockopt() in the netfilter subsystem.

  • PSBM-121772

    'ploop grow' operation could fail in certain cases if the ploop image file contained holes.

  • PSBM-121523

    Processes being killed by the OOM killer could continue consuming memory.

    If a process running in a container performed large allocations of kernel memory, this could hit the memory limit for the container and trigger the OOM killer. It was discovered, however, that the process being killed by it could continue consuming memory for some time. This could lead to out of memory conditions on the host.
  • PSBM-121135
