Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 vulnerabilities.
1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2162)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/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 sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the scsi_sw_tcp_session_create() function in drivers/scsi/iscsi_tcp.c in SCSI sub-component in the Linux Kernel. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and gain access to sensitive information.
2) Cryptographic issues (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-28834)
CWE-ID: CWE-310 - Cryptographic Issues
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a side-channel attack when using the gnutls_privkey_sign_data2 API function with the "GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_FLAG_REPRODUCIBLE" flag. A remote attacker can launch Minerva attack and gain access to sensitive information.
3) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1073)
CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:P/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows an attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the Linux kernel human interface device (HID) subsystem. An attacker with physical access to the system can insert in a specific way malicious USB device, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code.
4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1079)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:P/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows an attacker to compromise the vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the asus_kbd_backlight_set() function when plugging in a malicious USB device. An attacker with physical access to the system can inject a malicious USB device, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code.
5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1206)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a hash collision flaw in the IPv6 connection lookup table in the Linux kernel’s IPv6 functionality when an attacker makes a new kind of SYN flood attack. A remote attacker can increase the CPU usage of the server that accepts IPV6 connections up to 95%.
6) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4132)
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 perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the siano smsusb module in the Linux kernel. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and crash the kernel.
7) Covert timing channel (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5388)
CWE-ID: CWE-385 - Covert Timing Channel
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient fix for #VU84108 (CVE-2023-4421). A remote attacker can perform Marvin attack and gain access to sensitive information.
8) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45871)
CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the IGB driver in drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_main.c when handling frames larger than the MTU. A remote attacker can send specially crafted traffic to the system, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
9) Observable discrepancy (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6135)
CWE-ID: CWE-203 - Observable discrepancy
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a side-channel attack in multiple NSS NIST curves, known as "Minerva". A remote attacker can recover the private key and decrypt data passed between server and client.
