Description

This security bulletin contains information about 10 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6546)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in the GSM 0710 tty multiplexor in the Linux kernel. A local user can exploit the race and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information and escalate privileges on the system.


2) 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.


3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0193)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the netfilter subsystem of the Linux kernel. A local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability can escalate privileges on the system.


4) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38096)

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 vmwgfx driver in drivers/gpu/vmxgfx/vmxgfx_execbuf.c in GPU component of Linux kernel with device file '/dev/dri/renderD128 (or Dxxx)'. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4244)

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

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


6) 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.


7) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-51042)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the amdgpu_cs_wait_all_fences() function in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_cs.c. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


8) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-51043)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic.c. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


9) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-1085)

The vulnerability allows a local 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 user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.


10) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-1086)

The vulnerability allows a local 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 user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.
