USN-8850-1: Linux kernel (BlueField) vulnerabilities
Ubuntu patches Linux kernel BlueField vulnerabilities across NFS server, OCFS2, IPv6, Netfilter, and SCTP subsystems in USN-8850-1.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2/dlm: validate qr_numregions in dlm_match_regions() Patch series "ocfs2/dlm: fix two bugs in dlm_match_regions()". In dlm_match_regions(), the qr_numregions field from a DLM_QUERY_REGION network message is used to drive loops over the qr_regions buffer without sufficient validation. This series fixes two issues: - Patch 1 adds a bounds check to reject messages where qr_numregions exceeds O2NM_MAX_REGIONS. The o2net layer only validates message byte length; it does not constrain field values, so a crafted message can set qr_numregions up to 255 and trigger out-of-bounds reads past the 1024-byte qr_regions buffer. - Patch 2 fixes an off-by-one in the local-vs-remote comparison loop, which uses ' 32 causes out-of-bounds reads past the qr_regions buffer. Add a bounds check for qr_numregions before entering the loops.
Ubuntu patches Linux kernel BlueField vulnerabilities across NFS server, OCFS2, IPv6, Netfilter, and SCTP subsystems in USN-8850-1.
Ubuntu updates the AWS Linux kernel in USN-8725-2, fixing eight CVEs including issues in NFS, OCFS2, Netfilter, SCTP, and B.A.T.M.A.N. subsystems.
Ubuntu issues USN-8714-3 updating the generic Linux kernel to fix five CVEs affecting the OCFS2 file system and SCTP protocol.
