Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2163)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in BPF verifier caused by improper marking of
registers for precision tracking in certain situations. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4622)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the unix_stream_sendpage() function in af_unix component. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4623)
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: sch_hfsc (HFSC qdisc traffic control) component. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39191)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in the eBPF subsystem in the Linux kernel. A local user with CAP_BPF capability can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45871)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the IGB driver in drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_main.c when handling frames larger than the MTU. A remote attacker can send specially crafted traffic to the system, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
