Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.


1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-26490)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

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 escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the st21nfca_connectivity_event_received() function in drivers/nfc/st21nfca/se.c in Linux kernel. A local user can run a specially crafted program to trigger buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


2) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0854)

CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

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:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak in the Linux kernel’s DMA subsystem when processing DMA_FROM_DEVICE calls. A local user can trigger a memory leak error and read random memory from the kernel space.


3) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0494)

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/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 excessive data output in the scsi_ioctl() function in drivers/scsi/scsi_ioctl.c in the Linux kernel. A local user with a special user privilege (CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_SYS_RAWIO) can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.


4) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27666)

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

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 a boundary error within IPsec ESP transformation code in net/ipv4/esp4.c and net/ipv6/esp6.c in Linux kernel. A local unprivileged user can pass specially crafted data to the system, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
