Description

This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-36280)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the vmw_kms_cursor_snoo() function in drivers/gpu/vmxgfx/vmxgfx_kms.c in vmwgfx VMWare driver. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4382)

The vulnerability allows an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the gadgetfs Linux driver. An attacker with physical access to the system can trigger a use-after-free by manipulating the external device with gadgetfs and execute arbitrary code.


3) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1074)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak in Linux kernel Stream Control Transmission Protocol. A local user can start a malicious network service and then connect to remotely, forcing the kernel to leak memory.


4) 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.



5) 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.


6) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-26605)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the inode_cgwb_move_to_attached() function in fs/fs-writeback.c. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.



7) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-26607)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the ntfs_attr_find() function in fs/ntfs/attrib.c in Linux kernel. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
