Multiple vulnerabilities in Linux kernel

1) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU80499

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 7.1 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38426

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the smb2_find_context_vals() function. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the server, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

Vulnerable software versions

3) Off-by-one

EUVDB-ID: #VU80497

Risk: High

CVSSv3.1: 8.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38429

CWE-ID: CWE-193 - Off-by-one Error

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to an off-by-one error within the ksmbd_smb2_check_message() function in fs/ksmbd/connection.c. A remote attacker can trigger an off-by-one error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
