Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3609)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the the Linux kernel net/sched: cls_u32 component. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


2) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3812)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the TUN/TAP device driver in Linux kernel. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4128)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within net/sched/cls_fw.c in classifiers (cls_fw, cls_u32, and cls_route) in the Linux Kernel. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4206)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the the cls_route component in Linux kernel packet scheduler. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.


5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4207)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the the cls_fw component in Linux kernel packet scheduler. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


6) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4208)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the the cls_u32 component in Linux kernel packet scheduler. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


7) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5178)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the drivers/nvme/target/tcp.c in nvmet_tcp_free_crypto due to a logical bug in the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel. A local authenticated user can trigger a use-after-free error and escalate privileges on the system.


8) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-42753)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the netfilter subsystem in Linux kernel. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
