Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1280)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the drm_lease_held() function in drivers/gpu/drm/drm_lease.c in the Linux kernel. A local user can run a specially crafted program to trigger a use-after-free error and crash the kernel or gain access to sensitive information.
2) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0386)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to unauthorized access to execution of setuid files in OverlayFS subsystem when copying a capable file from a nosuid mount into another mount. A local user can execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
3) Deadlock (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4269)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in the Linux kernel Traffic Control (TC) subsystem. A local user can use a specific network configuration (redirecting egress packets to ingress using TC action "mirred") to trigger a CPU soft lockup.
4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2873)
The vulnerability allows a local user to crash the kernel.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the Intel iSMT SMBus host controller driver. A local user can send specially crafted data to the I2C_SMBUS IOCTL, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and crash the system.
5) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4378)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the __do_proc_dointvec() function. A local user can trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
