CVSSv3.1: 7.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:H/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2588

CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

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.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

EUVDB-ID: #VU64364

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 5.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-21123

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Information exposure

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows an attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists in Intel processors due to excessive data output when DirectPath I/O (PCI-Passthrough) is utilized. An attacker (both local and remote) with administrative access to a virtual machine that has an attached DirectPath I/O (PCI-Passthrough) device can obtain information stored in physical memory about the hypervisor or other virtual machines that reside on the same host.
