EUVDB-ID: #VU62485

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 5.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-43975

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the hw_atl_utils_fw_rpc_wait() function in drivers/net/ethernet/aquantia/atlantic/hw_atl/hw_atl_utils.c in Linux kernel. A local user can attach a specially crafted device to the system, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Mitigation

Update the affected package linux to the latest version.

3) Missing initialization of resource

EUVDB-ID: #VU61211

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 3.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-24448

CWE-ID: CWE-909 - Missing initialization of resource

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to missing initialization of resource within the fs/nfs/dir.c in the Linux kernel. If an application sets the O_DIRECTORY flag, and tries to open a regular file, nfs_atomic_open() performs a regular lookup. If a regular file is found, ENOTDIR should occur, but the server instead returns uninitialized data in the file descriptor.

Mitigation

Update the affected package linux to the latest version.
