This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3424)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

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:U/U:Clear


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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the gru_set_context_option(), gru_fault() and gru_handle_user_call_os() functions in Linux kernel. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:P/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the del_timer() function in drivers/isdn/mISDN/l1oip_core.c in the Bluetooth component. An attacker with physical proximity to device can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
