Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.
1) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26643)
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: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 race condition within the nf_tables_unbind_set() function in net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c. A local user can exploit the race and escalate privileges on the system.
2) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26642)
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:L/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 within the nf_tables_newset() function in net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c. A local user can set arbitrary timeouts, which can result in a denial of service condition.
3) Double Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26653)
CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double 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 boundary error in drivers/usb/misc/usb-ljca.c. A local user can trigger a double free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
4) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26654)
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: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 race condition in sound/sh/aica.c. A local user can exploit the race and escalate privileges on the system.
5) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26655)
CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime
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 memory leak within the posix_clock_open() function in kernel/time/posix-clock.c. A local user can perform a denial of service attack.
6) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26657)
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 drivers/gpu/drm/scheduler/sched_entity.c. A local user can send an amdgpu_cs_wait_ioctl to the AMDGPU DRM driver on any ASICs with valid context and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26656)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
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 crash the kernel.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_hmm.c. A local user can send a single amdgpu_gem_userptr_ioctl
to the AMDGPU DRM driver on any ASICs with an invalid address and size and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
