Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2640)
CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
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:A/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to missing permission checks for trusted.overlayfs.* xattrs". A local user can set privileged extended attributes on the mounted files, leading them to be set on the upper files without the appropriate security checks.
2) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32629)
CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
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:A/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to ovl_copy_up_meta_inode_data skips permission checks when calling ovl_do_setxattr on Ubuntu kernels. A local user can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
3) Use After Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-23273)
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 attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in the macvlan component of the Linux kernel when handling network interface creation errors. A local attacker can send a specially crafted netlink message to trigger improper RCU grace period handling during macvlan device creation, leading to a use-after-free condition.
Exploitation does not require elevated privileges and can result in a system crash due to access of already freed memory in the kernel network stack.
4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-23112)
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 improper input validation within the nvmet_tcp_free_cmd_buffers() function in drivers/nvme/target/tcp.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
