The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to measuring usage of the shared memory does not scale with large shared memory segment counts. A local user can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Improper Initialization (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2196)

CWE-ID: CWE-665 - Improper Initialization

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 improper initialization within nVMX in Linux kernel. A local user can perform speculative execution attacks and escalate privileges on the system.


3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4382)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

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 compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the gadgetfs Linux driver. An attacker with physical access to the system can trigger a use-after-free by manipulating the external device with gadgetfs and execute arbitrary code.


4) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-23559)

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

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 integer overflow within the rndis_query_oid() function in drivers/net/wireless/rndis_wlan.c. A local user can trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
