Description
This security bulletin contains information about 11 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2124)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack..
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the XFS subsystem in Linux kernel. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and crash the kernel.
2) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2002)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper permissions check in the Bluetooth subsystem when handling ioctl system calls of HCI sockets. A local user can acquire a trusted socket, leading to unauthorized execution of management commands.
3) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3090)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the ipvlan network driver in Linux kernel. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
4) Information exposure through microarchitectural state after transient execution (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1637)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due speculative execution behavior in the Linux kernel X86 CPU Power management options functionality. A local user can gain access to sensitive information.
5) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4662)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions in the Linux kernel USB core subsystem in the way user attaches usb device. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1829)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the tcindex_delete() function. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
7) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1281)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in Linux kernel traffic control index filter (tcindex) when the tcf_exts_exec() function is called with the destroyed tcf_ext. A local user attacker can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
8) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2194)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the Linux kernel's SLIMpro I2C device driver. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
9) CRLF injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0391)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary data in server response.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of attacker-supplied data within the urllib.parse module in Python. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application containing CR-LF characters and modify application behavior.
10) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3428)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in fs/ext4/extents.c in ext4_es_cache_extent() function, if an extent tree is corrupted in a crafted ext4 filesystem. A local user can mount a specially crafted filesystem and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
11) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3390)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c in the Linux kernel netfilter subsystem. A local user can trigger a use-after-fee error and escalate privileges on the system.
