Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4244)

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 Linux kernel netfilter: nf_tables component. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


2) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-42752)

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

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 integer overflow within the __alloc_skb() function. A local user can trigger integer overflow and crash the kernel.


3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-42755)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

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 denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the the IPv4 Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) classifier function in the Linux kernel. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and crash the Linux kernel.


4) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-42756)

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 in the Netfilter subsystem. A local user can exploit the race  between IPSET_CMD_ADD and IPSET_CMD_SWAP and gain crash the kernel.


5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5197)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/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 Linux kernel netfilter: nf_tables component. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
