CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1973

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the NTFS file system implementation in the Linux kernel. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and crash the system or gain access to sensitive information.

Mitigation

Update the affected package linux to the latest version.

7) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

EUVDB-ID: #VU66810

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 5.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2503

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to the way dm-verity is used to restrict module/firmware loads to trusted root filesystem in LoadPin builds. Device-mapper table reloads currently allow users with root privileges to switch out the target with an equivalent dm-linear target and bypass verification till reboot. This allows root to bypass LoadPin and can be used to load untrusted and unverified kernel modules and firmware, which implies arbitrary kernel execution and persistence for peripherals that do not verify firmware updates.

Mitigation

Update the affected package linux to the latest version.
