Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.
1) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36310)
CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/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 infinite loop in set_memory_region_test in arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.c. A local user can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0001)
CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/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 non-transparent sharing of branch predictor selectors between contexts. A local user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
3) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0002)
CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/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 non-transparent sharing of branch predictor within a context. A local user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0487)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in rtsx_usb_ms_drv_remove in drivers/memstick/host/rtsx_usb_ms.c in memstick in the Linux kernel. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and gain access to sensitive information.
5) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0492)
CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
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 a logic error within the cgroup_release_agent_write() function in kernel/cgroup/cgroup-v1.c. A local user can use the cgroups v1 release_agent feature to escalate privileges and bypass the namespace isolation.
6) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0617)
CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/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 a NULL pointer dereference error in the Linux kernel UDF file system functionality. A local user can supply a malicious UDF image to the udf_file_write_iter() function and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-25636)
CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer 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:P/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in net/netfilter/nf_dup_netdev.c in the Linux kernel, related to nf_tables_offload. A local user can trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
