SB2023111099 - openEuler 22.03 LTS SP2 update for kernel

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) 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.

2) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-46813)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper access checking in the #VC handler and instruction emulation of the SEV-ES emulation of MMIO accesses. A local user can gain arbitrary write access to kernel memory and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

3) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-46862)

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 io_uring_show_fdinfo() function in io_uring/fdinfo.c. A local user can trigger a race with SQ thread exit and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5178)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the drivers/nvme/target/tcp.c in nvmet_tcp_free_crypto due to a logical bug in the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel. A local authenticated user can trigger a use-after-free error and escalate privileges on the system.

Remediation
