Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20569)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a side channel issue in AMD CPUs. A remote user can influence the return address prediction and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
2) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-25775)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions in the Intel Ethernet Controller RDMA driver for Linux. A remote non-authenticated attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions and gain access to sensitive information.
3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-37453)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the read_descriptors() function in drivers/usb/core/sysfs.c. An attacker with physical access to the system can attach a malicious USB device, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and crash the kernel.
4) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3772)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the xfrm_update_ae_params() function in the IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem). A local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3773)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem). A local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges can cause a 4 byte out-of-bounds read of XFRMA_MTIMER_THRESH when parsing netlink attributes and gain access to sensitive information.
6) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-42753)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the netfilter subsystem in Linux kernel. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
7) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4622)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the unix_stream_sendpage() function in af_unix component. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
8) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4623)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the the Linux kernel net/sched: sch_hfsc (HFSC qdisc traffic control) component. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
