4) Improper Resource Shutdown or Release (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28714)
CWE-ID: CWE-404 - Improper Resource Shutdown or Release
CVSSv4: 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
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.
5) Improper Resource Shutdown or Release (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28715)
CWE-ID: CWE-404 - Improper Resource Shutdown or Release
CVSSv4: 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
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.
6) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-39685)
CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:P/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a malicious host to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the USB subsystem in Linux kernel. A malicious USB device can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the system.
7) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-4155)
CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to the OS kernel does not impose correctly security restrictions. A local user can gain access to sensitive information on the system.
8) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-45095)
CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a refcount leak within the pep_sock_accept() function in net/phonet/pep.c in the Linux kernel. A local user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
9) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-45469)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the __f2fs_setxattr() function in fs/f2fs/xattr.c in the Linux kernel when an inode has an invalid last xattr entry. A local user can create a specially crafted f2fs image, trigger an out-of-bounds read error, and perform a denial of service attack or possibly execute arbitrary code.
10) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-45480)
CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime
CVSSv4: 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:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to memory leak within the __rds_conn_create() function in net/rds/connection.c. A local user can perform a denial of service attack.
11) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0185)
CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in the legacy_parse_param() function in fs/fs_context.c in Linux kernel. A local user can tun a specially crafted program to trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
12) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23222)
CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to availability of pointer arithmetic via certain *_OR_NULL pointer types in kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel. A local user can run a specially crafted program to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
