Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1798)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to read arbitrary files on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a logic issue in kubeVirt API. A remote user can use the kubeVirt API to provide access to host files (like /etc/passwd, for example) in a KubeVirt VM as a disk device that can be written to and read from.2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0494)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output in the scsi_ioctl() function in drivers/scsi/scsi_ioctl.c in the Linux kernel. A local user with a special user privilege (CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_SYS_RAWIO) can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1271)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation when processing filenames with two or more newlines. A remote attacker can force zgrep or xzgrep to write arbitrary files on the system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise the affected system.
4) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1353)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application in the pfkey_register function in net/key/af_key.c in the Linux kernel. A local user can gain unauthorized access to kernel memory, leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information.
5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2526)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the on_stream_io() and dns_stream_complete() functions in resolved-dns-stream.c, which do not increment the reference counting for the DnsStream object. A remote attacker can send to the system specially crafted DNS responses, trigger a use-after-free error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-29154)
The vulnerability allows a remote server to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error within the rsync client when processing file names. A remote malicious server overwrite arbitrary files in the rsync client target directory and subdirectories on the connected peer.
