Description

This security bulletin contains information about 20 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38457)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the vmw_cmd_res_check() function in drivers/gpu/vmxgfx/vmxgfx_execbuf.c. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and crash the system.


2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-1086)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the netfilter nf_tables component in Linux kernel. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.


3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-51042)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the amdgpu_cs_wait_all_fences() function in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_cs.c. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


4) Deadlock (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31084)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a deadlock in drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_frontend.c when a task is in !TASK_RUNNING. A local user can trigger a deadlock and crash the kernel.


5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-30456)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of consistency for for CR0 and CR4 in arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.c in the Linux kernel. A local user can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


6) 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.


7) 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.


8) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1074)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak in Linux kernel Stream Control Transmission Protocol. A local user can start a malicious network service and then connect to remotely, forcing the kernel to leak memory.


9) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40133)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the vmw_execbuf_tie_context() function in drivers/gpu/vmxgfx/vmxgfx_execbuf.c. A local user can run a specially crafted program on the system and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


10) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38096)

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 vmwgfx driver in drivers/gpu/vmxgfx/vmxgfx_execbuf.c in GPU component of Linux kernel with device file '/dev/dri/renderD128 (or Dxxx)'. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


11) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39325)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to excessive consumption of internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests. A remote attacker can bypass the http2.Server.MaxConcurrentStreams setting by creating new connections while the current connections are still being processed, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


12) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-36402)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in drivers/gpu/vmxgfx/vmxgfx_execbuf.c. A local user can trigger an integer overflow and crash the kernel.


13) Improper update of reference count (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-29581)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper update of reference count in net/sched in Linux kernel. A local user can execute arbitrary code with root privileges.


14) Processor optimization removal or modification of security-critical code (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23960)

The vulnerability allows a local user to obtain potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper restrictions of cache speculation. A local user can leverage the shared branch history in the Branch History Buffer (BHB) to influence mispredicted branches and gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability was dubbed Spectre-BHB.


15) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-20368)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the packet_recvmsg() function in Linux kernel. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and potentially escalate privileges on the system.


16) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3625)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the devlink_param_set() and devlink_param_get() function in net/core/devlink.c in IPsec component of Linux kernel. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


17) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3239)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the Linux kernel video4linux driver in the way user triggers em28xx_usb_probe() for the Empia 28xx based TV cards. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


18) Improper Initialization (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2196)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper initialization within nVMX in Linux kernel. A local user can perform speculative execution attacks and escalate privileges on the system.


19) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33655)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO IOCTL. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


20) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44487)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improperly control of consumption for internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests with compressed HEADERS frames. A remote attacker can send a sequence of compressed HEADERS frames followed by RST_STREAM frames and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack, a.k.a. "Rapid Reset".

Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.
