Security Fix(es): * kernel: md: fix resync softlockup when bitmap size is less than array size (CVE-2024-38598) * kernel: i40e: fix race condition by adding filter's intermediate sync state (CVE-2024-53088) * kernel: mptcp: cope racing subflow creation in mptcp_rcv_space_adjust (CVE-2024-53122) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The advisory covers three kernel vulnerabilities: CVE-2024-38598 fixes a softlockup during md resync caused by bitmap size being smaller than the array size; CVE-2024-53088 addresses a race condition in the i40e network driver by adding a filter's intermediate sync state; CVE-2024-53122 mitigates racing conditions in multipath TCP subflow creation. These issues affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4 Extended Update Support and related variants. The vendor has released an important security update that must be applied with a system reboot.
Potential Impact
The vulnerabilities could lead to kernel softlockups or race conditions that may affect system stability or reliability. While no known exploits are reported in the wild, these issues pose a risk of denial of service or unexpected behavior in affected kernel components.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat has released an official security update for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4 Extended Update Support that addresses these vulnerabilities. Users should apply the update promptly following Red Hat's guidance and reboot systems to activate the fixes. For detailed update instructions, refer to https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258. No additional mitigations are specified by the vendor.
