Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-23407)

CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in Windows Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE). A remote attacker on the local network can exploit the race and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


2) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-23414)

CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in Windows Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE). A remote attacker on the local network can exploit the race and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


3) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-23385)

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/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 application does not properly impose security restrictions in Windows Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE), which leads to security restrictions bypass and privilege escalation.
