Description
This security bulletin contains information about 16 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-20422)
The vulnerability allows a local application to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within emulation_proc_handler() in armv8 emulation in arch/arm64/kernel/armv8_deprecated.c. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
2) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2153)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in the Linux kernel’s KVM when attempting to set a SynIC IRQ. A local user on the host can issue specific ioctl calls, causing a denial of service.
3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2978)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the Linux kernel NILFS file system. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
4) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3028)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in the Linux kernel's IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem) when multiple calls to xfrm_probe_algs occurred simultaneously. A local user can exploit the race and escalate privileges on the system.
5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3239)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the Linux kernel video4linux driver in the way user triggers em28xx_usb_probe() for the Empia 28xx based TV cards. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
6) 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.
7) 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.
8) 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.
9) 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.
10) 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.
11) 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.
12) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3621)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in the nilfs2 filesystem driver within the nilfs_bmap_lookup_at_level() function in fs/nilfs2/inode.c in Linux kernel. A remote attacker can trick the victim into mounting a specially crafted image and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
13) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3635)
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 drivers/atm/idt77252.c in IPsec component of Linux kernel. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and crash the kernel.
14) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-36879)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the xfrm_expand_policies() function in net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c. A local user can cause the refcount to be dropped twice and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
15) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40768)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions in the drivers/scsi/stex.c in the Linux kernel. A local user can obtain sensitive information from kernel memory because stex_queuecommand_lck lacks a memset for the PASSTHRU_CMD case.
16) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42703)
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.
