Description
This security bulletin contains information about 10 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-26555)
The vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions within the Bluetooth legacy BR/EDR PIN code pairing. An attacker with physical access can spoof the BD_ADDR of the peer device and complete pairing without knowledge of the PIN.
2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-51779)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when handling bt_sock_ioctl in the Bluetooth subsystem. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.
3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6121)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the system, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory.
4) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6531)
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.
5) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6546)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in the GSM 0710 tty multiplexor in the Linux kernel. A local user can exploit the race and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information and escalate privileges on the system.
6) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6606)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the smbCalcSize() function in fs/smb/client/netmisc.c file. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and gain access to sensitive information or crash the kernel.
7) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6610)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the smb2_dump_detail() function in fs/smb/client/smb2ops.c. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and gain access to sensitive information or crash the kernel.
8) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6622)
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 nft_dynset_init() function in net/netfilter/nft_dynset.c in nf_tables. A local user can pass specially crafted data to the system and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
9) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6931)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the Linux kernel's Performance Events system component. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
10) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6932)
The vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the ipv4 igmp component in Linux kernel. A local authenticated user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code.
