EUVDB-ID: #VU66811

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 4.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36516

CWE-ID: CWE-327 - Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) or MitM attacks.

9) Improper update of reference count

EUVDB-ID: #VU63496

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-29581

CWE-ID: CWE-911 - Improper Update of Reference Count

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper update of reference count in net/sched in Linux kernel. A local user can execute arbitrary code with root privileges.

Mitigation

Update the affected package the Linux Kernel to the latest version.

10) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU66476

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 6.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-36946

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the nfqnl_mangle() function in net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue.c in the Linux kernel when processing IPv6 packets. A remote attacker can send specially crafted packets to the system and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation

Update the affected package the Linux Kernel to the latest version.
