Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4139)
CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the i915 kernel driver on Linux kernel. A local user can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
2) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4378)
CWE-ID: CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow
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 escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the __do_proc_dointvec() function. A local user can trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
3) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-43945)
CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attacl.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the Linux kernel NFSD implementation. A remote attacker can send the RPC message over TCP with garbage data added at the end of the message, trigger memory corruption and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
