Description
This security bulletin contains information about 17 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3169)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources in Linux kernel when handling a consecutive request of the NVME_IOCTL_RESET and the NVME_IOCTL_SUBSYS_RESET through the device file of the driver. A local user can force the a PCIe link to disconnect.
2) Expected behavior violation (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3344)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in the KVM's AMD nested virtualization (SVM). A malicious L1 guest can purposely fail to intercept the shutdown of a cooperative nested guest (L2), possibly leading to a page fault and kernel panic in the host (L0).
3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3435)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the fib_nh_match() function in net/ipv4/fib_semantics.c IPv4 handler. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the system, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
4) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3521)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition within the kcm_tx_work() function in net/kcm/kcmsock.c in Linux kernel. A local user can exploit the race and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information and escalate privileges on the system.
5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3545)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the area_cache_get() function in drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/nfpcore/nfp_cppcore.c. A local user can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
6) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4139)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the i915 kernel driver on Linux kernel. A local user can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
7) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42328)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources. An attacker with access to the guest OS can trigger deadlock in Linux netback driver and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack of the host via the paravirtualized network interface.
8) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42329)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources. An attacker with access to the guest OS can trigger deadlock in Linux netback driver and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack of the host via the paravirtualized network interface.
9) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4379)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the __nfs42_ssc_open() function in fs/nfs/nfs4file.c. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
10) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45869)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition within the x86 KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel when nested virtualisation and the TDP MMU are enabled. A remote user on the guest OS can exploit the race and crash the host OS.
11) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-47518)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing a number of channels in drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/cfg80211.c in the WILC1000 wireless driver. A local user can trigger a heap-based buffer overflow when copying the list of operating channels from Wi-Fi management frames and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
12) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-47519)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within IEEE80211_P2P_ATTR_OPER_CHANNEL in drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/cfg80211.c in the WILC1000 wireless driver. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write when parsing the channel list attribute from Wi-Fi management frames and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
13) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-47520)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/hif.c in the WILC1000 wireless driver. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds read when parsing a Robust Security Network (RSN) information element from a Netlink packet and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
14) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-47521)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the IEEE80211_P2P_ATTR_CHANNEL_LIST in drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/cfg80211.c in the WILC1000 wireless driver. A local user trigger a heap-based buffer overflow when parsing the operating channel attribute from Wi-Fi management frames and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
15) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0179)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to an integer overflow within the nft_payload_copy_vlan() function in Linux kernel Netfilter. A local user can trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
16) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0461)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the Upper Level Protocol (ULP) subsystem in Linux kernel caused by improper handling of sockets entering the LISTEN state in certain protocols. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
17) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0468)
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 io_poll_check_events() function in io_uring/poll.c within the io_uring subcomponent in the Linux Kernel. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
