Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3619)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to perform a DoS attack.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak within the l2cap_recv_acldata() function in net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c. An attacker with physical proximity to device can force the system to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.
2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3628)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the brcmf_fweh_event_worker() function in drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/fweh.c. A local user can use a specially crafted device to trigger memory corruption and escalate privileges on the system.
3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3640)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in the 2cap_conn_del() function in net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c in Linux kernel. An attacker with physical proximity to device can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.
4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3643)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of network packets. An attacker with access to the guest OS can trigger the related physical NIC on the host to reset, abort, or crash by sending certain kinds of packets.
5) Access of Uninitialized Pointer (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42895)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to unauthorized access of uninitialized pointer within the l2cap_parse_conf_req() function in net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c. An attacker with physical proximity to the affected device can gain access to sensitive information.
6) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42896)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the l2cap_connect() and l2cap_le_connect_req() function in net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c. An attacker with physical proximity to the affected device can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.
7) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4378)
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.
8) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45934)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the l2cap_config_req() function in net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c in Linux kernel. A local user can pass specially crafted L2CAP_CONF_REQ packets to the device, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
9) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0590)
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 qdisc_graft() function in net/sched/sch_api.c. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and crash the kernel.
