1) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU66807

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 4.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2873

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to crash the kernel.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the Intel iSMT SMBus host controller driver. A local user can send specially crafted data to the I2C_SMBUS IOCTL, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and crash the system.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

2) Use-after-free

EUVDB-ID: #VU68422

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 2.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41222

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error caused by a stale TLB in mm/mremap.c, because an rmap lock is not held during a PUD move. A local user can gain access to sensitive information.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

3) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU69766

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

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.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
