CWE-ID: CWE-345 - Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack (DoS) on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient verification of data authenticity in the Linux SCTP stack. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform a denial of service attack.
2) Improper locking (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-4149)
CWE-ID: CWE-667 - Improper Locking
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 attack (DoS) on the target system.
The vulnerability exists in btrfs_alloc_tree_b in fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c in the Linux kernel due to an improper lock operation in btrfs. A local user can exploit this vulnerability to cause a deadlock, resulting in a denial of service condition.
3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1016)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
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 sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in net/netfilter/nf_tables_core.c:nft_do_chain in Linux kernel.. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and gain access to sensitive information.
4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1419)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/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 use-after-free error in vgem_gem_dumb_create() function in Linux kernel. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1966)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
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 use-after-free error in the Linux kernel's Netfilter subsystem in net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c. A local user can trigger use-after-free error to escalate privileges on the system.
6) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-21499)
CWE-ID: CWE-284 - Improper Access Control
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/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 improper access restrictions to the kernel debugger when booted in secure boot environments. A local privileged user can bypass UEFI Secure Boot restrictions.
7) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-28356)
CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak in net/llc/af_llc.c component. A remote attacker can force the system to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.
8) Double Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-28390)
CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free
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 with elevated privileges.
The vulnerability exists due to boundary error in ems_usb_start_xmit in drivers/net/can/usb/ems_usb.c. A local user can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger double free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
