Description

This security bulletin contains information about 16 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-20409)

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

The vulnerability exists due to missing checks when working with concurrent tasks in io_uring implementation. A local application can escalate privileges on the system.


2) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3524)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak within the ipv6_renew_options() function when retrieving a new IPv6 address from a malicious DHCP server. A remote attacker can force the system to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.


3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3534)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the btf_dump_name_dups() function in tools/lib/bpf/btf_dump.c. A local user can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


4) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3545)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the area_cache_get() function in drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/nfpcore/nfp_cppcore.c. A local user can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3564)

The vulnerability allows an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the l2cap_reassemble_sdu() function in net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c. An attacker with physical access to device can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.


6) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3565)

The vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the del_timer() function in drivers/isdn/mISDN/l1oip_core.c in the Bluetooth component. An attacker with physical proximity to device can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.



7) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3566)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition within the tcp_getsockopt() and tcp_setsockopt() functions in net/ipv4/tcp.c, do_ipv6_setsockopt() function in net/ipv6/ipv6_sockglue.c, and tcp_v6_connect() function in net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c in Linux kernel. A local user can exploit the race and escalate privileges on the system.


8) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3567)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition within the inet6_stream_ops() and inet6_dgram_ops() functions. A local user can exploit the race and escalate privileges on the system.


9) Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Log Files (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3594)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to the intr_callback() function in drivers/net/usb/r8152.c can be forced to include excessive data info the log files. A local user can read the log files and gain access to sensitive data.

Note, the vulnerability can be triggered remotely.


10) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3649)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the nilfs2 filesystem driver in nilfs_new_inode() function in fs/nilfs2/inode.c in Linux kernel. A remote attacker can trick the victim into mounting a specially crafted image, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.


11) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42722)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the mac80211 stack in Linux kernel. A remote attacker on the local network can send specially crafted WLAN frames to the affected system and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack against the beacon protection of P2P devices.


12) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3521)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition within the kcm_tx_work() function in net/kcm/kcmsock.c in Linux kernel. A local user can exploit the race and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information and escalate privileges on the system.


13) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3586)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in the way the sch_sfb enqueue function used the socket buffer (SKB) cb field after the same SKB had been enqueued (and freed) into a child qdisc. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


14) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2602)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error caused by an io_uring request, which is being processed on a registered file. The Unix GC runs and frees the io_uring file descriptor and all the registered file descriptors in a specific order that may allow a local user to win a race and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


15) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3633)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a DoS attack.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak within the j1939_session_destroy() function in net/can/j1939/transport.c. A local user can force the system to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.


16) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3577)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the bigben_probe() function in drivers/hid/hid-bigbenff.c within the Kid-friendly Wired Controller driver in Linux kernel. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
