description: |
  This kernel update is based on upstream 5.15.11 and fixes atleast the
  following security issues:

  Potentially malicious XEN PV backends can cause guest DoS due to unhardened
  frontends in the guests, even though this ought to have been prevented by
  containing them within a driver domain. This update fixes the issue tracked
  as XSA-391: blkfront (CVE-2021-28711), netfront (CVE-2021-28712),
  hvc_xen (CVE-2021-28713).

  The Linux kernel's xen-netback backend driver can be forced by guests to
  queue arbitrary amounts of network data, finally causing an out of memory
  situation in the domain the backend is running in (usually dom0). This
  update fixes the issues tracked as XSA-392 (CVE-2021-28714, CVE-2021-28715).

  In addition to the upstream changes, we also have added the following fixes:
  - ALSA: hda/hdmi: Disable silent stream on GLK
  - arm64: vdso32: require CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT for gcc+bfd
  - ext4: check for inconsistent extents between index and leaf block
  - ext4: check for out-of-order index extents in ext4_valid_extent_entries()
  - ext4: prevent partial update of the extent blocks
  - HID: intel-ish-hid: ipc: Specify no cache snooping on TGL and ADL
  - HID: potential dereference of null pointer
  - iwlwifi: mvm: Increase the scan timeout guard to 30 seconds
  - KVM: VMX: clear vmx_x86_ops.sync_pir_to_irr if APICv is disabled
  - net: amd-xgbe: Add Support for Yellow Carp Ethernet device
  - net: usb: lan78xx: add Allied Telesis AT29M2-AF
  - netfs: fix parameter of cleanup()
  - NFSD: Fix READDIR buffer overflow
  - PM: sleep: Fix error handling in dpm_prepare()
  - rtw89: 8852a: correct bit definition of dfs_en
  - revert: "rtw88: 8821c: disable the ASPM of RTL8821CE"
  - rtw88: add quirk to disable pci caps on HP 250 G7 Notebook PC
  - rtw88: Disable PCIe ASPM while doing NAPI poll on 8821CE
  - rtw88: don't check CRC of VHT-SIG-B in 802.11ac signal
  - rtw88: 8822c: update rx settings to prevent potential hw deadlock

  For other upstream fixes, see the referenced changelogs.

Comment 5 Thomas Backlund 2021-12-25 15:30:19 CET
addendum to advisory:


  In __f2fs_setxattr in fs/f2fs/xattr.c in the Linux kernel through 5.15.11,
  there is an out-of-bounds memory access when an inode has an invalid last
  xattr entry (CVE-2021-45469).

  restored legacy NTLM support in cifs (mga#29641)

Dell Inspiron 5100, 32-bit P4, 2GB RAM, Radeon RV200 graphics, Atheros-based wifi, 32-bit Xfce system using the desktop kernel.

No installation issues. After reboot, changed cursor theme, watched a few seconds of two videos in Parole, checked local TV weather site in Firefox. The last seemed a little slow to render, but then I noticed that Adblock Plus had blocked 36 ads, which is probably enough to explain it. Used MCC to install the Xfce weather panel app, and removed some old kernels.

No issues noted.

Comment 17 Thomas Andrews 2021-12-29 19:53:46 CET
Just a little slow with this report, but...

Intel i5-2500, Intel graphics, normally wired Internet but also has the rtl8192eu driver installed, 64-bit Plasma system using the server kernel.

I had not used this install in a while, and it needed to be updated to the 5.15.10 kernel first. I checked for operation of the rtl8192eu device, and proceeded with that update. After the reboot, everything OK, including the operation of the wifi device. For the record, this particular install is using the net_applet to make connections.

Used qarepo to get the 64-bit packages, then went on with the update, with no installation issues. The rtl8192eu driver module appeared to build and install properly. After the reboot I checked, and everything again seems OK, including the rtl8192eu driver. However...

Another set of hardware, this time an AMD Phenom II X4 910, AMD HD 8490 graphics, 64-bit Plasam install using the desktop kernel. Normally, this install uses an Atheros-based wifi PCI card to connect to the Internet, but it can also use the rtl8192eu device. It uses Network Manager to manage wifi.

This install had already been using the 5.15.10 kernel, but I had never checked the rtl8192eu driver on that one. The update to the 5.15.11 kernel went smoothly, and the rtl8192eu driver appeared to build normally. However, Network Manager refuses to connect using the rtl device. Other than that, it seems OK.

Since it works on one machine and not the other, I doubt that the kernel is at fault. There are other differences between the two installs that need to be investigated. Once I have done that, I will open a new bug about the rtl8192eu driver with those results.

Comment 19 Morgan Leijström 2021-12-30 11:53:09 CET
Just noting that I (and maybe someone else) forgot to test update lib64bpf0

I did not notice i have had it installed before, but now it was.
Comment 20 Thomas Andrews 2021-12-30 19:03:23 CET
With regard to Comment 17, the rtl8192eu device not working on the AMD-based hardware was apparently due to the way I had Network Manager set up. I found my error, corrected it, and it now seems to work.
