EUVDB-ID: #VU59840

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 7.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-4154

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the cgroup1_parse_param() function in kernel/cgroup/cgroup-v1.c in Linux kernel's cgroup v1 parser. A local user can execute arbitrary code via the fsconfig syscall parameter leading to a container breakout.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

2) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

EUVDB-ID: #VU61217

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 7.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:H/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-22942

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in the vmwgfx driver in Linux kernel. A local unprivileged user can gain access to files opened by other processes on the system through a dangling 'file' pointer.

Exploiting this vulnerability requires an attacker to have access to either /dev/dri/card0 or /dev/dri/rendererD128 and be able to issue an ioctl() on the resulting file descriptor.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

4) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU60988

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0330

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a random memory access flaw caused by a missing TLB flush in Linux kernel GPU i915 kernel driver functionality. A local user can execute arbitrary code on the system with elevated privileges.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

5) Stack-based buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU61216

Risk: High

CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0435

CWE-ID: CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the Linux kernel networking module for the Transparent Inter-Process Communication (TIPC) protocol. A remote unauthenticated attacker can send specially crafted traffic to the system, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system but requires that the TIPC bearer is set up.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
