1) 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 the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 32 for SLE 12 SP5) to the latest version.

4) Type Confusion

EUVDB-ID: #VU71478

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 4.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-23454

CWE-ID: CWE-843 - Type confusion

Exploit availability: No

Description

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