This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1281)
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.
2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1989)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The
vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the btsdio_remove() function in driversluetoothtsdio.c. A local user can trigger a
use-after-free error and escalate privileges on the system.
3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2162)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the scsi_sw_tcp_session_create() function in drivers/scsi/iscsi_tcp.c in SCSI sub-component in the Linux Kernel. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and gain access to sensitive information.
4) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-23454)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error within the cbq_classify() function in net/sched/sch_cbq.c in the Linux kernel. A local user can trigger a type confusion error and crash the kernel.
5) Double Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28464)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the hci_conn_cleanup() function in net/bluetooth/hci_conn.c in Linux kernel. A local user can trigger a double free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
