Description
This security bulletin contains information about 12 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3523)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when in mm/memory.c in Linux kernel. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38096)
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 vmwgfx driver in drivers/gpu/vmxgfx/vmxgfx_execbuf.c in GPU component of Linux kernel with device file '/dev/dri/renderD128 (or Dxxx)'. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) 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.
4) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0597)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to memory leak within the Linux kernel cpu_entry_area mapping of X86 CPU data. A local user can gain access to sensitive information.
5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1118)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in the Linux kernel integrated infrared receiver/transceiver driver "drivers/media/rc/ene_ir.c" when detaching rc device. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-22995)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the dwc3_qcom_acpi_register_core() function in drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-qcom.c. A local user can execute arbitrary code on the system with elevated privileges.
7) Return of pointer value outside of expected range (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-22998)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to unexpected value of the pointer returned as value in the drm_gem_shmem_get_sg_table() function in drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/virtgpu_object.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-23000)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the tegra_xusb_find_port_node() function in drivers/phy/tegra/xusb.c. A local user can pass specially crafted data to the system and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
9) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-23004)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the get_sg_table() function in drivers/gpu/drm/arm/malidp_planes.c. A local user can pass specially crafted data to the system and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
10) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-23559)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the rndis_query_oid() function in drivers/net/wireless/rndis_wlan.c. A local user can trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
11) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-25012)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the bigben_remove() function in drivers/hid/hid-bigbenff.c. An attacker with physical access to the system can attach a specially crafted USB device to the system and cause a denial of service condition.
12) Double Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-26545)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a double free in net/mpls/af_mpls.c during the renaming of a device. A local user can trigger a double free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
