Description

This security bulletin contains information about 11 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3523)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when in mm/memory.c in Linux kernel. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3535)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform DoS attack.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak within the mvpp2_dbgfs_port_init() function in drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/mvpp2/mvpp2_debugfs.c, when a device is probed. A local user can force the system to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.


3) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3621)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in the nilfs2 filesystem driver within the nilfs_bmap_lookup_at_level() function in fs/nilfs2/inode.c in Linux kernel. A remote attacker can trick the victim into mounting a specially crafted image and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3623)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition within the follow_page_pte() function in mm/gup.c. A local user can exploit the race and escalate privileges on the system.


5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3625)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the devlink_param_set() and devlink_param_get() function in net/core/devlink.c in IPsec component of Linux kernel. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


6) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3635)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the drivers/atm/idt77252.c in IPsec component of Linux kernel. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and crash the kernel.



7) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-43750)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the drivers/usb/mon/mon_bin.c in usbmon in the Linux kernel. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


8) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2978)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the Linux kernel NILFS file system. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


9) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3629)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform DoS attack.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak within the vsock_connect() function in net/vmw_vsock/af_vsock.c in Linux kernel IPSec implementation. A local user can force the system to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.


10) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42432)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to memory safety bugs. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted file, trigger buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


11) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3646)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in the nilfs2 filesystem driver within the nilfs_attach_log_writer() function in fs/nilfs2/segment.c in Linux kernel. A remote attacker can trick the victim into mounting a specially crafted image and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
