Affected: AlmaLinux:8: kernel-tools-libs-devel

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

Security Fix(es): * kernel: out-of-bounds reads in pinctrl subsystem (CVE-2020-0427) * kernel: Improper input validation in some Intel(R) Ethernet E810 Adapter drivers (CVE-2020-24502) * kernel: Insufficient access control in some Intel(R) Ethernet E810 Adapter drivers (CVE-2020-24503) * kernel: Uncontrolled resource consumption in some Intel(R) Ethernet E810 Adapter drivers (CVE-2020-24504) * kernel: Fragmentation cache not cleared on reconnection (CVE-2020-24586) * kernel: Reassembling fragments encrypted under different keys (CVE-2020-24587) * kernel: wifi frame payload being parsed incorrectly as an L2 frame (CVE-2020-24588) * kernel: Forwarding EAPOL from unauthenticated wifi client (CVE-2020-26139) * kernel: accepting plaintext data frames in protected networks (CVE-2020-26140) * kernel: not verifying TKIP MIC of fragmented frames (CVE-2020-26141) * kernel: accepting fragmented plaintext frames in protected networks (CVE-2020-26143) * kernel: accepting unencrypted A-MSDU frames that start with RFC1042 header (CVE-2020-26144) * kernel: accepting plaintext broadcast fragments as full frames (CVE-2020-26145) * kernel: powerpc: RTAS calls can be used to compromise kernel integrity (CVE-2020-27777) * kernel: locking inconsistency in tty_io.c and tty_jobctrl.c can lead to a read-after-free (CVE-2020-29660) * kernel: buffer overflow in mwifiex_cmd_802_11_ad_hoc_start function via a long SSI…

The eBPF RINGBUF bpf_ringbuf_reserve() function in the Linux kernel did not check that the allocated size was smaller than the ringbuf size, allowing an attacker to perform out-of-bounds writes within the kernel and therefore, arbitrary code execution. This issue was fixed via commit 4b81ccebaeee ("bpf, ringbuf: Deny reserve of buffers larger than ringbuf") (v5.13-rc4) and backported to the stable kernels in v5.12.4, v5.11.21, and v5.10.37. It was introduced via 457f44363a88 ("bpf: Implement BPF ring buffer and verifier support for it") (v5.8-rc1).
