Description
This security bulletin contains information about 21 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33061)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient control flow management. A local user can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33655)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO IOCTL. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
3) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1012)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient randomization in the net/ipv4/tcp.c when calculating port offsets in Linux kernel cause by small table perturb size. A remote attacker can cause memory leak and gain access to sensitive information.
4) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1729)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition within sys_perf_event_open() in Linux kernel. A local user can exploit the race and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information and escalate privileges on the system.
5) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1852)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in the Linux kernel’s KVM module. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack in the x86_emulate_insn in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c.
6) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1943)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the udf_write_fi() function within the UDF file system functionality. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
7) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1973)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the NTFS file system implementation in the Linux
kernel. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and crash the system or gain access to sensitive information.
8) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2318)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error caused by timer handler in net/rose/rose_timer.c of linux. A local user can exploit the vulnerability to perform a denial of service attack.
9) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2503)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to the way dm-verity is used to restrict module/firmware loads to trusted root filesystem in LoadPin builds. Device-mapper table reloads currently allow users with root privileges to switch out the target with an equivalent dm-linear target and bypass verification till reboot. This allows root to bypass LoadPin and can be used to load untrusted and unverified kernel modules and firmware, which implies arbitrary kernel execution and persistence for peripherals that do not verify firmware updates.
10) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-26365)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to Linux Block and Network PV device frontends don't zero memory regions before sharing them with the backend. A local user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
11) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2873)
The vulnerability allows a local user to crash the kernel.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the Intel iSMT SMBus host controller driver. A local user can send specially crafted data to the I2C_SMBUS IOCTL, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and crash the system.
12) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2959)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a missing lock in the pipe_resize_ring() function within the watch queue when performing operations on an object. A local user can exploit the race and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information and escalate privileges on the system.
13) Use of insufficiently random values (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32296)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to Linux kernel allowing TCP servers to identify clients by observing what source ports are used. A local user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
14) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-33740)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to Linux Block and Network PV device frontends don't zero memory regions before sharing them with the backend. A local user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
15) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-33741)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to granularity of the grant table doesn't allow sharing less than a 4K page, leading to unrelated data residing in the same 4K page as data shared with a backend being accessible by such backend. A local user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
16) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-33742)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to granularity of the grant table doesn't allow sharing less than a 4K page, leading to unrelated data residing in the same 4K page as data shared with a backend being accessible by such backend. A local user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
17) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-33743)
The vulnerability allows a malicious network backend to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in eXpress Data Path support implementation in Xen, allowing Linux netfront to use freed SKBs. A malicious network backend can cause denial of service on the guest OS.
18) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-33744)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of foreign mappings performed by rbtree when mapping pages of Arm guests. An unprivileged Arm guest can cause inconsistencies of the rbtree via PV devices, which can lead to denial of service of dom0 and cause crashes or the inability to perform further mappings of other guests' memory pages.
19) Double Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34494)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the rpmsg_virtio_add_ctrl_dev() function in drivers/rpmsg/virtio_rpmsg_bus.c in the Linux kernel remote processor messaging (rpmsg) framework. A local user can run a specially crafted program to trigger a double free error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
20) Double Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34495)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the rpmsg_probe() function in drivers/rpmsg/virtio_rpmsg_bus.c in Linux kernel. A local user can trigger a double free error in the virtio RPMSG bus driver and crash the system.
21) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-36946)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the nfqnl_mangle() function in net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue.c in the Linux kernel when processing IPv6 packets. A remote attacker can send specially crafted packets to the system and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
