Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Double Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2588)
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:A/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The
vulnerability exists due to a double free error within the network packet scheduler implementation
in the route4_change() function in Linux kernel when removing all references to a route filter
before freeing it. A local user can run a specially crafted program to
crash the kernel or execute arbitrary code.
2) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2585)
CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors
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 perform a denial of service (DoS) attack or escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources in POSIX CPU timers when handling death of a process. A local user can crash the kernel or execute arbitrary code.
3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2586)
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:A/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the the netfilter subsystem implementation in Linux kernel when preventing one nft object from referencing an nft set in another nft table. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system with elevated privileges.
