Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31023)
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 GPU Display Driver. A local user can pass specially crafted data to the driver and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31022)
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 kernel mode layer in GPU Display Driver. A local user can pass specially crafted data to the driver and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31020)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions in the kernel mode layer within the GPU Display Driver. A local user can bypass implemented security restrictions and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Untrusted search path (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31016)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to usage of an untrusted search path in GPU Display Driver. A local user can place a malicious binary into a specific location on the system and execute arbitrary code with escalated privileges.
5) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31017)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in GPU Display Driver. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
6) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31019)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due improper access restrictions in wksServicePlugin.dll, which incorrectly restricts access from the named pipe server to a connecting client. A local user can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
7) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31027)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in GPU driver. A local user can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
8) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31018)
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 GPU Display Driver. A local user can pass specially crafted data to the driver and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
