Description
This security bulletin contains information about 22 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36694)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in the packet processing context, because the per-CPU sequence count is mishandled during concurrent iptables rules replacement. A local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability in an unprivileged namespace can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-29650)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the netfilter subsystem in net/netfilter/x_tables.c and include/linux/netfilter/x_tables.h. A local user can trigger memory corruption upon the assignment of a new table value and cause denial of service.
3) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3566)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition within the tcp_getsockopt() and tcp_setsockopt() functions in net/ipv4/tcp.c, do_ipv6_setsockopt() function in net/ipv6/ipv6_sockglue.c, and tcp_v6_connect() function in net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c in Linux kernel. A local user can exploit the race and escalate privileges on the system.
4) Deadlock (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4269)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in the Linux kernel Traffic Control (TC) subsystem. A local user can use a specific network configuration (redirecting egress packets to ingress using TC action "mirred") to trigger a CPU soft lockup.
5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45884)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in drivers/media/dvb-core/dvbdev.c in Linux kernel related to dvb_register_device() function dynamically allocating fops. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
6) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45885)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_frontend.c in Linux kernel. A local user can trigger a race condition and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
7) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45886)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
8) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45887)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in drivers/media/usb/ttusb-dec/ttusb_dec.c in Linux kernel. A local user can exploit the race and crash the kernel.
9) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45919)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
10) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1079)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to compromise the vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the asus_kbd_backlight_set() function when plugging in a malicious USB device. An attacker with physical access to the system can inject a malicious USB device, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code.
11) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1380)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the Broadcom Full MAC Wi-Fi driver (brcmfmac.ko). A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of kernel memory on the system.
12) Information exposure through microarchitectural state after transient execution (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1637)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due speculative execution behavior in the Linux kernel X86 CPU Power management options functionality. A local user can gain access to sensitive information.
13) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2156)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion when handling IPv6 RPL protocol. A remote attacker can send specially crafted packets to the system and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
14) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2194)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the Linux kernel's SLIMpro I2C device driver. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
15) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-23586)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in the io_uring subsystem. A local user can gain access to sensitive information.
16) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2483)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in Qualcomm EMAC Gigabit Ethernet Controller. An attacker with physical access to system can remove the device before cleanup in the emac_remove() function is called, trigger a use-after-free error and crash the kernel.
17) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2513)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the ext4 filesystem in the way it handled the extra inode size for extended attributes. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and escalate privileges on the system.
18) Deadlock (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31084)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a deadlock in drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_frontend.c when a task is in !TASK_RUNNING. A local user can trigger a deadlock and crash the kernel.
19) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31436)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the qfq_change_class() function in net/sched/sch_qfq.c when handling the MTU value provided to the QFQ Scheduler. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
20) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32233)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in Netfilter nf_tables when processing batch requests. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
21) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32269)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in net/netrom/af_netrom.c. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that the system has netrom routing configured or the attacker must have the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability.
22) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-33288)
The vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the bq24190_remove function in drivers/power/supply/bq24190_charger.c. A local authenticated user can trigger a use-after-free error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
