Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Observable discrepancy (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6240)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a timing discrepancy when handling RSA based TLS key exchanges. A remote attacker can perform a Marvin attack and gain access to sensitive information.2) 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.
3) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26586)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the mlxsw_sp_acl_tcam_init() function in drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/spectrum_acl_tcam.c. A local user can trigger stack corruption and crash the kernel.
4) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-52628)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the nft_exthdr_sctp_eval(), nft_exthdr_tcp_eval(), and nft_exthdr_ipv6_eval() functions. A local user can pass specially crafted data to the system, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
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) 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.
