8) Double Free

EUVDB-ID: #VU63164

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 6.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-28390

CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

The vulnerability exists due to boundary error in ems_usb_start_xmit in drivers/net/can/usb/ems_usb.c. A local user can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger double free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Mitigation

Update the affected package linux to the latest version.
