Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 vulnerabilities.
1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31023)
CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
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 NULL pointer dereference error in GPU Display Driver. A local user can pass specially crafted data to the driver and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31022)
CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
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 NULL pointer dereference error in the kernel mode layer in GPU Display Driver. A local user can pass specially crafted data to the driver and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31020)
CWE-ID: CWE-284 - Improper Access Control
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 improper access restrictions in the kernel mode layer within the GPU Display Driver. A local user can bypass implemented security restrictions and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Untrusted search path (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31016)
CWE-ID: CWE-426 - Untrusted Search Path
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:A/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 usage of an untrusted search path in GPU Display Driver. A local user can place a malicious binary into a specific location on the system and execute arbitrary code with escalated privileges.
5) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31017)
CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
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 boundary error in GPU Display Driver. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
6) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31019)
CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
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 improper access restrictions in wksServicePlugin.dll, which incorrectly restricts access from the named pipe server to a connecting client. A local user can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
7) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31027)
CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption
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 boundary error in GPU driver. A local user can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
8) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31018)
CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
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.
