1) Resource management error

EUVDB-ID: #VU66394

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 7.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2585

CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack or escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources in POSIX CPU timers when handling death of a process. A local user can crash the kernel or execute arbitrary code.

Mitigation

2) Use-after-free

EUVDB-ID: #VU66396

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 8.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2586

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the the netfilter subsystem implementation in Linux kernel when preventing one nft object from referencing an nft set in another nft table. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system with elevated privileges.

Mitigation

Update the affected package linux to the latest version.
