INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack running Ubuntu 20.10
Groovy install these updates.

On systems that have "autoinstall = yes" in /etc/uptrack/uptrack.conf,
these updates will be installed automatically and you do not need to
take any action.

Alternatively, you can install these updates by running:

# /usr/sbin/uptrack-upgrade -y


DESCRIPTION

* CVE-2021-33033: Denial-of-service in security key addition for Generic IEEE 802.15.4 Soft Networking Stack.

A flaw in link-layer security key addition for Generic IEEE 802.15.4 Soft
Networking Stack could lead to a system crash. A local attacker could
use this to cause a denial of service.


* CVE-2020-25673: Denial-of-service in NFC subsystem due to improper error handling.

Improper error handling in LLC socket connects of NFC subsystem could
lead to an infinite loop. A local attacker could use this to cause
a denial of service.


* CVE-2020-26145: Multiple vulnerabilities in WPA receive side of Atheros 802.11ac cards support.

Improper input validation in the Wi-Fi Protected Access receive side
implementation of Atheros 802.11ac wireless cards support could lead to
accepting plaintext broadcast fragments. A physically proximate attacker
could use this flaw to inject arbitrary network packets.


* Note: Oracle will not provide a zero-downtime update for CVE-2020-24587 and CVE-2020-24586.

CVE-2020-24587 (CVSS v3 score of 2.6) and CVE-2020-24586 (CVSS v3 score of
3.5) might allow an attacker to inject L2 frames in a WiFi network using
WEP, WPA/CCMP or WPA/GCMP or to exfiltrate network data on certain
conditions.  Host machines that are not connected to a WiFi network are not
affected.

Oracle has determined that patching CVE-2020-24587 and CVE-2020-24586 would
not be safe and recommends affected hosts to reboot into the newest Ubuntu
kernel to mitigate the vulnerabilities.


* CVE-2020-26141: Multiple vulnerabilities in Atheros 802.11ac cards support due to improper MIC validation.

Improper message integrity check of fragmented TKIP frames in Atheros
802.11ac wireless cards support could allow an attacker to inject and
decrypt WPA or WPA2 network packets. A physically proximate attacker
could use this flaw for information disclosure and denial-of-service.


* CVE-2020-26139: Denial-of-service at the receive side of IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack.

A flaw at the receive side of Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack could
lead to a system crash due to incorrect handling of EAPOL frames from
unauthenticated senders. A physically proximate attacker could could use
this flaw to inject malicious packets and cause a denial-of-service.


* CVE-2020-26147: Multiple vulnerabilities at the receiving side of 802.11 Networking Stack.

A flaw in WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 implementations of Generic IEEE
802.11 Networking Stack could lead to a condition when the stack
reassembles fragments even though some of them were sent in plaintext.
A physically proximate attacker could use this flaw to inject packets.


* CVE-2021-3609: Privilege escalation in the CAN BCM networking protocol due to use-after-free.

A race condition flaw in the CAN BCM networking protocol could happen
in a situation when registration and unregistration of a CAN message
receiver run concurrently lead to a use-after-free. A local attacker
could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code.


* CVE-2020-25672: Denial-of-service in socket connections of the NFC LLCP protocol.

A flaw in socket connects of the NFC LLCP protocol implementation could
lead to a failure to deallocate memory in certain error situations.
A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service.


* CVE-2020-25671: Denial-of-service in the NFC LLCP protocol due to a refcount leak.

A flaw in socket connects of the NFC LLCP protocol implementation could
lead to a refcount leak in certain error situations.A local attacker
could use this flaw to cause a denial of service.


* CVE-2020-25670: Denial-of-service in socket binds of NFC LLCP protocol.

A reference counting error in sockets binds of the NFC LLCP protocol
implementation could lead to a system crash. A local attacker could use
this to cause a denial of service.


* CVE-2021-29155: Information disclosure in eBPF due to out of bounds pointer arithmetic.

Out of bounds pointer arithmetic flaw in the eBPF implementation could
allow an attacker to bypass the protection and execute speculatively
out-of-bounds loads from the kernel memory leading to extraction of
the kernel memory contents via a side-channel. A local, special user
privileged (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) BPF program could use this flaw for sensitive
information disclosure.


* CVE-2021-31829: Information disclosure in eBPF via side-channel attacks.

Undesirable speculative loads in the eBPF implementation could lead to
disclosure of stack content via side-channel attacks. A local attacker
could use this flaw for information disclosure.


* CVE-2021-33200: Code execution in eBPF due to improper pointer operation limits enforcement.

A flaw in the eBPF implementation could lead to out-of-bounds reads and
writes due to improper enforcement of limits for pointer operations.
A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service or
execute arbitrary code.


* CVE-2021-31440: Privileges escalation in eBPF due to out-of-bounds flaw.

An out-of-bounds condition could happen in Berkeley Packet Filter
due to improper validation of eBPF user-supplied programs. A local
attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code.


* CVE-2021-23133: Multiple vulnerabilities due to a race condition in SCTP.

A flaw in socket functionality of Stream Control Transmission Protocol
could lead to a race condition. A local user with network service
privileges could use this flaw for privilege escalation, information
disclosure or denial-of-service.


* Note: Oracle will not provide a zero-downtime update for CVE-2020-24587.

Oracle has determined that the vulnerability does not affect a
running system.


* CVE-2020-24588: Mishandling of malformed A-MPDU frames in 802.11 Networking Stack.

Mishandling of malformed A-MPDU frames in 802.11 Wireless Networking
Stack could allow an attacker to inject network packets. A physically
proximate attacker could use this flaw to compromise the system
integrity.
