Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1611)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

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


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 btrfs_search_slot() function in fs/btrfs/ctree.c. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and crash the kernel.


2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1670)

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 Xircom 16-bit PCMCIA (PC-card) Ethernet driver. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.


3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1859)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

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


The vulnerability allows a malicious guest to gain access to sensitive information or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the xen_9pfs_front_removet() function in net/9p/trans_xen.c in Xen transport for 9pfs. A malicious guest VM can trigger a use-after-free error and gain access to sensitive information of the hypervisor or crash it.


4) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1582)

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

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


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

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition within fs/proc/task_mmu.c. A local user can exploit the race and crash the kernel.


5) Double Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4744)

CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double 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 boundary error within the tun_free_netdev() function in the Linux kernel’s TUN/TAP device driver. A local user can trigger a double free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
