Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU65642
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2078
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the nft_set_desc_concat_parse() function in Linux kernel. A local user can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Install updates from vendor's website.
Vulnerable software versionsLinux kernel: before 5.19 rc1
External linksQ & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability. However, proof of concept for this vulnerability is available.
2) Use-after-free
EUVDB-ID: #VU65641
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1973
CWE-ID:
CWE-416 - Use After Free
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the NTFS file system implementation in the Linux
kernel. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and crash the system or gain access to sensitive information.
