Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 8 vulnerabilities.

1) Race condition

EUVDB-ID: #VU85022

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 5.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6531

CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition when the unix garbage collector's deletion of a SKB races with unix_stream_read_generic() on the socket that the SKB is queued on. A local user can exploit the race and escalate privileges on the system.

Mitigation

Update linux package to version 6.1.69-1.

Vulnerable software versions

Debian Linux: All versions

linux (Debian package): before 6.1.69-1
