Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3107)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the netvsc_get_ethtool_stats() function in drivers/net/hyperv/netvsc_drv.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Unchecked Return Value (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3108)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3564)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the l2cap_reassemble_sdu() function in net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c. An attacker with physical access to device can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.
4) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4662)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions in the Linux kernel USB core subsystem in the way user attaches usb device. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-23454)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error within the cbq_classify() function in net/sched/sch_cbq.c in the Linux kernel. A local user can trigger a type confusion error and crash the kernel.
