Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0435)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the Linux kernel networking module for the Transparent Inter-Process Communication (TIPC) protocol. A remote unauthenticated attacker can send specially crafted traffic to the system, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system but requires that the TIPC bearer is set up.


2) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0516)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in kvm_s390_guest_sida_op() function in the arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c in KVM for s390 in the Linux kernel. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and escalate privileges on the system.
