Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Double Free

EUVDB-ID: #VU66397

Risk: Low

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

Update the affected package the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 33 for SLE 15 SP1) to the latest version.

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

Yes. This vulnerability is being exploited in the wild.

2) Use-after-free

EUVDB-ID: #VU69297

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42703

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the mm/rmap.c in the Linux kernel, related to leaf anon_vma double reuse. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and crash the kernel.

Mitigation

Update the affected package the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 33 for SLE 15 SP1) to the latest version.
