Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1012)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient randomization in the net/ipv4/tcp.c when calculating port offsets in Linux kernel cause by small table perturb size. A remote attacker can cause memory leak and gain access to sensitive information.
2) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2132)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the copy_desc_to_mbuf() function when processing Vhost header. A remote guest can send a packet with the Vhost header crossing more than two descriptors and force application to allocate all available mbufs, causing a denial of service condition for the other guest running on the hypervisor.
3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2526)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the on_stream_io() and dns_stream_complete() functions in resolved-dns-stream.c, which do not increment the reference counting for the DnsStream object. A remote attacker can send to the system specially crafted DNS responses, trigger a use-after-free error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Double Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2588)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The
vulnerability exists due to a double free error within the network packet scheduler implementation
in the route4_change() function in Linux kernel when removing all references to a route filter
before freeing it. A local user can run a specially crafted program to
crash the kernel or execute arbitrary code.
5) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-29154)
The vulnerability allows a remote server to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error within the rsync client when processing file names. A remote malicious server overwrite arbitrary files in the rsync client target directory and subdirectories on the connected peer.
6) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32250)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free incorrect NFT_STATEFUL_EXPR in net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c in Linux kernel. A local user with ability to create user/net namespaces can execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
