2) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU66591

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 5.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1462

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the the Linux kernel’s TeleTYpe subsystem caused by a race condition when using ioctls TIOCSPTLCK and TIOCGPTPEER and TIOCSTI and TCXONC with leakage of memory file. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and crash the system or read random kernel memory.

Mitigation

Update the affected package the Linux Kernel to the latest version.

3) Security features bypass

EUVDB-ID: #VU66592

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 5.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-21505

CWE-ID: CWE-254 - Security Features

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect implementation of the IMA lockdown feature. If IMA appraisal is used with the "ima_appraise=log" boot param, lockdown can be defeated with kexec on any machine with Secure Boot. An attacker with physical access to device can bypass Secure Boot mechanism.

Mitigation

Update the affected package the Linux Kernel to the latest version.
