Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.
1) Division by zero (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31085)
CWE-ID: CWE-369 - Divide By Zero
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 divide by zero error within the drivers/mtd/ubi/cdev.c driver. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Deadlock (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-34324)
CWE-ID: CWE-833 - Deadlock
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a malicious guest to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper event handling in Linux kernel. A malicious guest can disable paravirtualized device to cause a deadlock in a backend domain (other than dom0).
3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39189)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/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 condition within the nfnl_osf_add_callback() function in Linux kernel Netfilter. A local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
4) 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.
5) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-42754)
CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/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 within the ipv4_send_dest_unreach() function in net/ipv4/route.c. A local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN permissions can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4921)
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 in the qfq_dequeue() function within the the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_qfq component. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
7) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5345)
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 smb3_fs_context_parse_param() function in fs/smb/client component. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
