Description

This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48651)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in drivers/net/ipvlan/ipvlan_core.c. A remote attacker on the local network can send specially crafted packets to the system, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.


2) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-52502)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition within the nfc_llcp_sock_get() and nfc_llcp_sock_get_sn() functions in net/nfc/llcp_core.c. A local user can exploit the race and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


3) 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.


4) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-23307)

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

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in raid5_cache_count() function. A local user can trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26610)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the iwl_dbg_tlv_override_trig_node() function in drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/iwl-dbg-tlv.c. A local user can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


6) Integer underflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26828)

The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to integer underflow within the parse_server_interfaces() function in fs/smb/client/smb2ops.c. A local user can execute arbitrary code.


7) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26852)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the ip6_route_multipath_add() and list_for_each_entry_safe() functions in net/ipv6/route.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.


8) Improper locking (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26923)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper locking within the unix_gc() function in net/unix/garbage.c due to garbage collector does not take into account the risk of embryo getting enqueued during the garbage collection. A local user can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


9) Double free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26930)

The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to a double free error within the kfree() function in drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_os.c. A local user can execute arbitrary code.
