The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow when mounting a malicious filesystem. A local user can mount a specially crafted filesystem, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code.
2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6270)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/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 aoecmd_cfg_pkts() function in the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) driver. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and escalate privileges on the system.
3) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0001)
CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to non-transparent sharing of branch predictor selectors between contexts. A local user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
4) Processor optimization removal or modification of security-critical code (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-2201)
CWE-ID: CWE-1037 - Processor optimization removal or modification of security-critical code
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a malicious guest to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to native branch history injection on x86 systems. A malicious guest can infer the contents of arbitrary host memory, including memory assigned to other guests and compromise the affected system.
5) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-23307)
CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow
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 integer overflow in raid5_cache_count() function. A local user can trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
6) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24861)
CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/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 xc4000 xc4000_get_frequency() function in the media/xc4000 device driver. A local user can exploit the race and escalate privileges on the system.
7) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26898)
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 tx() function in drivers/block/aoe/aoenet.c, within the aoecmd_cfg_pkts() function in drivers/block/aoe/aoecmd.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.
8) Improper locking (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-52615)
CWE-ID: CWE-667 - Improper Locking
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 locking within the rng_get_data() and rng_dev_read() functions in drivers/char/hw_random/core.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
9) 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.
10) Division by zero (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26720)
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
