Description

This security bulletin contains information about 14 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-12351)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the BlueZ implementation in Linux kernel. A remote attacker on the local network can pass specially crafted input to the application and execute arbitrary code on the system.


2) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-12352)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions in BlueZ implementation in Linux kernel. A remote attacker on the local network can pass specially crafted input to the application and gain access to sensitive information.


3) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-24490)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within BlueZ  implementation in Linux kernel. A remote attacker on the local network can pass specially crated data to the system and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-43904)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to NULL pointer dereference within the dcn30_apply_idle_power_optimizations() function in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/hwss/dcn30/dcn30_hwseq.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-35963)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the hci_sock_setsockopt_old() and hci_sock_setsockopt() functions in net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


6) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-35967)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read error within the sco_sock_setsockopt() function in net/bluetooth/sco.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


7) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-40973)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to NULL pointer dereference within the mtk_vcodec_fw_scp_init() function in drivers/media/platform/mediatek/vcodec/common/mtk_vcodec_fw_scp.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


8) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26822)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the automount_fullpath() and cifs_do_automount() functions in fs/smb/client/namespace.c. A local user can force the SMB client to reuse its parent mount uid, gid and cruid and gain unauthorized access to information.


9) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-35965)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the l2cap_sock_setsockopt_old() and l2cap_sock_setsockopt() functions in net/bluetooth/l2cap_sock.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


10) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-40910)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to memory leak within the ax25_accept() function in net/ax25/af_ax25.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


11) Improper locking (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-38553)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper locking within the fec_set_mac_address() function in drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fec_main.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


12) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-53057)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() function in net/sched/sch_api.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.
