Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40768)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions in the drivers/scsi/stex.c in the Linux kernel. A local user can obtain sensitive information from kernel memory because stex_queuecommand_lck lacks a memset for the PASSTHRU_CMD case.


2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3435)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the fib_nh_match() function in net/ipv4/fib_semantics.c IPv4 handler. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the system, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
