Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Double Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3707)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the intel_gvt_dma_map_guest_page() function in Intel GVT-g graphics driver. A local user can trigger a double free error and crash the kernel.
2) Processor optimization removal or modification of security-critical code (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0459)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper implementation of speculative execution barriers in usercopy functions
in certain situations. A local user can gain access to sensitive information.
3) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1075)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error within the tls_is_tx_ready() function in the net/tls stack of the Linux Kernel. A local user can trigger a type confusion error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
4) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1078)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the rds_rm_zerocopy_callback() function in Linux kernel RDS (Reliable Datagram Sockets) protocol. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
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) Improper Initialization (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1513)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper initialization when calling the KVM_GET_DEBUGREGS ioctl on 32-bit systems. A local user can run a specially crafted application to gain access to sensitive information.
7) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2162)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the scsi_sw_tcp_session_create() function in drivers/scsi/iscsi_tcp.c in SCSI sub-component in the Linux Kernel. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and gain access to sensitive information.
8) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32269)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in net/netrom/af_netrom.c. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that the system has netrom routing configured or the attacker must have the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability.
