23) Type Confusion

EUVDB-ID: #VU71477

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 4.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-23455

CWE-ID: CWE-843 - Type confusion

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error within the atm_tc_enqueue() function in net/sched/sch_atm.c in the Linux kernel. A local user can trigger a type confusion error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation

Update the affected package linux-gcp to the latest version.

24) Use-after-free

EUVDB-ID: #VU76228

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 6.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-26544

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the run_unpack() function in fs/ntfs3/run.c, related to a difference between NTFS sector size and media sector size. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Mitigation

Update the affected package linux-gcp to the latest version.

25) Use-after-free

EUVDB-ID: #VU76221

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 5.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32269

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in net/netrom/af_netrom.c. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that the system has netrom routing configured or the attacker must have the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability.

Mitigation
