8) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3268)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the relay_file_read_start_pos() function in kernel/relay.c in the relayfs. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system or crash the kernel.
9) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4459)
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 vmxnet3_rq_cleanup() function in drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_drv.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
10) Information exposure through microarchitectural state after transient execution (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40982)
The vulnerability allows a malicious guest to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to the way data is shared between threads whereby the AVX GATHER instructions on Intel processors can forward the content of stale vector registers to dependent instructions. A malicious guest can infer data from different contexts on the same core and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
11) 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.
