Description
This security bulletin contains information about 10 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-46955)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the ovs_fragment() function in net/openvswitch/actions.c when running openvswitch on kernels built with KASAN. A remote attacker can send specially crafted IPv4 packets to the system, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system or crash the kernel.
2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-47383)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
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 an out-of-bounds read error within the vc_do_resize() function in drivers/tty/vt/vt.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48651)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in drivers/net/ipvlan/ipvlan_core.c. A remote attacker on the local network can send specially crafted packets to the system, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1829)
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:P/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 tcindex_delete() function. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
5) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6531)
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 when the unix garbage collector's deletion of a SKB races with unix_stream_read_generic() on the socket that the SKB is queued on. A local user can exploit the race and escalate privileges on the system.
6) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6546)
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 the GSM 0710 tty multiplexor in the Linux kernel. A local user can exploit the race and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information and escalate privileges on the system.
7) 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.
8) Integer underflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26828)
CWE-ID: CWE-191 - Integer underflow
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 execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to integer underflow within the parse_server_interfaces() function in fs/smb/client/smb2ops.c. A local user can execute arbitrary code.
9) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26852)
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 ip6_route_multipath_add() and list_for_each_entry_safe() functions in net/ipv6/route.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.
10) Improper locking (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26923)
CWE-ID: CWE-667 - Improper Locking
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 improper locking within the unix_gc() function in net/unix/garbage.c due to garbage collector does not take into account the risk of embryo getting enqueued during the garbage collection. A local user can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
