Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-20566)
The vulnerability allows a local application to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the l2cap_chan_put() function in Bluetooth L2CAP implementation. A local application can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3565)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the del_timer() function in drivers/isdn/mISDN/l1oip_core.c in the Bluetooth component. An attacker with physical proximity to device can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
3) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-36879)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the xfrm_expand_policies() function in net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c. A local user can cause the refcount to be dropped twice and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-43750)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the drivers/usb/mon/mon_bin.c in usbmon in the Linux kernel. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
5) 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.
6) 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.
7) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0045)
The vulnerability allows a local user to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to Linux kernel does not correctly mitigate SMT attacks. A local user can bypass Spectre-BTI user space mitigations and gain access to sensitive information.
8) 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.
