Amazon Linux 1 Security Advisory: ALAS-2021-1516
Advisory Release Date: 2021-07-08 18:38 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2021-07-12 21:51 Pacific
Severity: Medium

Issue Overview:

A denial-of-service (DoS) flaw was identified in the Linux kernel due to an incorrect memory barrier in xt_replace_table in net/netfilter/x_tables.c in the netfilter subsystem. (CVE-2021-29650)

A flaw was found in kernel/bpf/verifier.c in BPF in the Linux kernel. An incorrect limit is enforced for pointer arithmetic operations which can be abused to perform out-of-bounds reads and writes in kernel memory, leading to local privilege escalation. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-33200)
