Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.

1) Improper Resource Shutdown or Release

EUVDB-ID: #VU63583

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 4.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28714

CWE-ID: CWE-404 - Improper Resource Shutdown or Release

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to incoming data packets for a guest in the Linux kernel's netback driver are buffered until the guest is ready to process them. A remote user can use a UDP connection on a fast interface to trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.

Vulnerable software versions

Fedora: 35

kernel: before 5.15.11-200.fc35

CPE2.3 External links

https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-4f1a2cdf2e


Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote authenticated user via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

2) Improper Resource Shutdown or Release

EUVDB-ID: #VU63584

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 4.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

3) Resource exhaustion

EUVDB-ID: #VU63563

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 5.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:H/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28711

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper limits for number of events driver domains could send to other guest VMs. A local user can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.
