Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 8 vulnerabilities.

1) Out-of-bounds write

EUVDB-ID: #VU79673

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-2023-2163

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in BPF verifier caused by improper marking of registers for precision tracking in certain situations. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Mitigation

Update the affected package the Linux Kernel to the latest version.

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

7) Improper access control

EUVDB-ID: #VU82764

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 7.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-46813

CWE-ID: CWE-284 - Improper Access Control

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access checking in the #VC handler and instruction emulation of the SEV-ES emulation of MMIO accesses. A local user can gain arbitrary write access to kernel memory and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Mitigation

Update the affected package the Linux Kernel to the latest version.

8) Use-after-free

EUVDB-ID: #VU82658

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5178

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the drivers/nvme/target/tcp.c in nvmet_tcp_free_crypto due to a logical bug in the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel. A local authenticated user can trigger a use-after-free error and escalate privileges on the system.

Mitigation

Update the affected package the Linux Kernel to the latest version.
