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 send_acknowledge() function in net/nfc/nci/spi.c. A local user can pass specially crafted data to the system and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-51779)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when handling bt_sock_ioctl in the Bluetooth subsystem. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.
3) 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.
4) 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.
5) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6560)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in io_uring SQ/CQ rings functionality in the Linux kernel. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0607)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the nft_byteorder_eval() function in the Netfilter subsystem. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-25744)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to missing access restrictions related to arch/x86/coco/tdx/tdx.c and arch/x86/mm/mem_encrypt_amd.c. An untrusted VMM can trigger int80 syscall handling at any given point and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
