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) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26673)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

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 insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the nft_ct_expect_obj_init() function in net/netfilter/nft_ct.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26735)

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 seg6_init() function in net/ipv6/seg6.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.


5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26804)

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 tnl_update_pmtu(), ip_md_tunnel_xmit() and ip_tunnel_xmit() functions in net/ipv4/ip_tunnel.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.


6) 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.


7) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26993)

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to information disclosure within the sysfs_break_active_protection() function in fs/sysfs/file.c. A local user can gain access to sensitive information.
