mga8-64

In short: main system OK, but it's VirtualBox guests experience problems.

====

Tests as VirtualBox Host:

Extpack 6.1.34 is from upstream.  Windows guest additions fetched by VB GUI, and installed earlier.

Guest 1: my usual MSW7pro-64: Firefox crashes occasionally when playing video and resizing it.  And after leaving the guest machine while i was starting making this report in another Plasma desktop, and switched back, Windows had rebooted, and after logging in, message: "Windows has recovered after unexpected shutdown". Pressed the dialogues button to investigate, but no result, the dialogue just vanished.  The log event just say power was cut, unclean shutdown.
The log events when firefox crashes (several times tried, all the same:

Faulting application name: firefox.exe, version: 101.0.1.8194, time stamp: 0x62a0e752
Faulting module name: xul.dll, version: 101.0.1.8194, time stamp: 0x62a0e899
Exception code: 0xc0000005

- Something that xul.ddl do is not supported?

Guest 2: BOINC LHC@home ATLAS simulation virtual machine. Trued a few workunits set to use 3CPU: they finished unusually quickly. Changed to 5CPU: and it went 7 hours and not using more than a few percent of one CPU, aborted. Next three tries finished in 20 minutes without ever using more than one CPU.  No error messages.  Expected run time 5 hours. I dont know much about this, just trying to help out...
I cant say for sure this is a regression: I think I did see this rarely also with kernel 5.15.43, but it mostly worked OK = using the set number of CPU after some ten-twenty minutes of startup where it was mostly idle and occasionally downloaded something, then run for approximately the estimated time.

Main system Tested OK:  Plasma desktop; using Thunderbird, LibreOffice, Ktorrent, Nextcloud client, Syncthing, Firefox ESR with video, flatpak Firefox (slow as usual), java program FriBOK, ... I keep using this kernel.

Installed all three flavours - kernel linus ran for several hours without any problems.
Tried the desktop kernel and that seems to function as well as ever including bluetooth audio.
Virtualbox works to some extent but there were problems:
i686 kernel in a Mageia 7 guest.
Ran scheduled updates. OK
Installed Guest additions from the attached image.
NFS shares work and drag-and-drop work both ways.
Clipboard does not work.
USB device is registered with a default filter but will not connect via the Devices tab.

@Herman yes stupid Bug 29830

I you now have the backport versions installed, downgrade using urpmi
(while backport repo is disabled, update testing enabled)

$ sudo urpmi --downgrade lib64bpf0 cpupower kernel-userspace-headers kernel-desktop-latest kernel-desktop-devel-latest virtualbox-kernel-desktop-latest

(Detail: the "-latest" packages also each downgrade the versions of respective dependency, in total 9 packages got new versions by that urpmi command, and the backport kernel is still installed also (which i find weird).)

I  installed the update using urmpi (what a nuisance...) and rebooted.
No obvious problems noted.

Installed the three kernels and tried out the server version.
Immediate connection to bluetooth audio on demand.  Quick look at virtualbox: mga8 i686 client launched with NAS and NFS shares set up.
No guestbox additions installed so no usb connection.  Drag and drop works both ways.

Same machine,

Mate desktop running fine.  Graphics, sound, video, NFS shares and NAS, firefox, LO writer all working.
No regressions apparent.

description: |
  This kernel update is based on upstream 5.15.46 and fixes at least the
  following security issues:

  KVM: x86: avoid calling x86 emulator without a decoded instruction
  (CVE-2022-1852).

  A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's Netfilter
  subsystem in net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c. This flaw allows a local
  attacker with user access to cause a privilege escalation issue
  (CVE-2022-1966).

  An out-of-bound write vulnerability was identified within the netfilter
  subsystem which can be exploited to achieve privilege escalation to
  root. In order to trigger the issue it requires the ability to create
  user/net namespaces (CVE-2022-1972).

  fs/ntfs3: Fix invalid free in log_replay (CVE-2022-1973).

  Other fixes in this update:
  - x86/amd_nb: Add AMD Family 17h A0-AF IDs
  - x86/amd_nb: Add Family 19h model 70h-7Fh IDs
  - x86/amd_nb: Add Family 19h model 60h-6Fh IDs
  - hwmon: (k10temp): Add support for family 17h models A0h-AFh
  - hwmon: (k10temp): Add support for family 19h models 70h-7Fh
  - hwmon: (k10temp): Add support for family 19h models 60h-6Fh
