Red Hat Security Advisory: kernel security, bug fix, and enhancement update

Important

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s TLS implementation (net/tls/tls_device.c). The function get_netdev_for_sock() is invoked during setsockopt(), which is not executed under RCU (Read-Copy-Update) protection. It previously used sk_dst_get(sk)->dev, which can lead to a use-after-free (UAF) if the sk’s destination is freed

CWE-416 - Use After Free

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter component, specifically within the `nft_set_pipapo_avx2` AVX2 matching functions. This vulnerability occurs when a `pipapo` set with an 'ipv4 . port' key is reloaded. Due to incorrect masking, the system may erroneously identify non-matching elements as duplicates, leading to data integrity issues and unexpected behavior. A remote attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service or impact data integrity.

CWE-480 - Use of Incorrect Operator

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth subsystem. This vulnerability, a Use-After-Free (UAF), exists within the Secure Simple Pairing (SSP) passkey handlers. It occurs when `hci_conn` lookup and field access are performed without proper locking, allowing a connection to be freed concurrently. This could potentially enable a local attacker to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

CWE-413 - Improper Resource Locking
