Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 11 vulnerabilities.

1) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU80795

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 4 [CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-37453

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

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.

Mitigation

Update the affected package linux-gcp-5.15 to the latest version.

Vulnerable software versions
