4) Use-after-free

EUVDB-ID: #VU74122

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1281

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in Linux kernel traffic control index filter (tcindex) when the tcf_exts_exec() function is called with the destroyed tcf_ext. A local user attacker can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


Mitigation

Update the affected package linux to the latest version.
