Description
This security bulletin contains information about 18 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-44879)
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 the gc_data_segment() function in fs/f2fs/gc.c. A local user can mount a specially crafted f2fs image, trigger a NULL pointer dereference and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) 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.
3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5197)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within Linux kernel netfilter: nf_tables component. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
4) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5717)
The vulnerability local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the Linux kernel's Linux Kernel Performance Events (perf) component. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
5) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6121)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the system, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory.
6) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6531)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition when the unix garbage collector's deletion of a SKB races with unix_stream_read_generic() on the socket that the SKB is queued on. A local user can exploit the race and escalate privileges on the system.
7) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6817)
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 netfilter nf_tables component in 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-2023-6931)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the Linux kernel's Performance Events system component. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
9) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6932)
The vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the ipv4 igmp component in Linux kernel. A local authenticated user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code.
10) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-25775)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions in the Intel Ethernet Controller RDMA driver for Linux. A remote non-authenticated attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions and gain access to sensitive information.
11) Deadlock (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-34324)
The vulnerability allows a malicious guest to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper event handling in Linux kernel. A malicious guest can disable paravirtualized device to cause a deadlock in a backend domain (other than dom0).
12) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-35827)
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 ravb_remove in drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/ravb_main.c. A local authenticated user can trigger a use-after-free error and escalate privileges on the system.
13) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45863)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the fill_kobj_path() function in lib/kobject.c. A local user can can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
14) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-46813)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access checking in the #VC handler and instruction emulation of the SEV-ES emulation of MMIO accesses. A local user can gain arbitrary write access to kernel memory and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
15) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-46862)
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 io_uring_show_fdinfo() function in io_uring/fdinfo.c. A local user can trigger a race with SQ thread exit and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
16) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-51780)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in the ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) subsystem in Linux kernel. A local user can exploit the race and escalate privileges on the system.
17) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-51781)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in the Appletalk subsystem in Linux kernel. A local user can exploit the race and escalate privileges on the system.
18) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-51782)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in the Amateur Radio X.25 PLP (Rose) support. A local user can exploit the race and escalate privileges on the system.
