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

The vulnerability exists due to use of uninitialized resource within the __sock_xmit() function in drivers/block/nbd.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Improper locking (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-52623)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper locking within the xprt_iter_current_entry() and rpc_xprt_switch_has_addr() functions in net/sunrpc/xprtmultipath.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26669)

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

The vulnerability exists due to memory leak within the fl_tmplt_destroy() function in net/sched/cls_flower.c, within the tcf_block_playback_offloads() and tc_chain_tmplt_add() functions in net/sched/cls_api.c, within the void() function in include/net/sch_generic.h. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26939)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the active_to_vma() and i915_vma_pin_ww() functions in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_vma.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.


5) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-35838)

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