Description

This security bulletin contains information about 16 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-50387)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing DNSSEC related records. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion by forcing the DNS server to query a specially crafted DNSSEC zone and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


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-2024-1085)

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.


4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0193)

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 subsystem of the Linux kernel. A local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability can escalate privileges on the system.


5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-51043)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic.c. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


6) 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.


7) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-50868)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing DNSSEC related records. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion by forcing the DNS server to query a specially crafted DNSSEC zone and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


8) 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.


9) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-49569)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences. A remote attacker can overwrite arbitrary files on the system. Applications are only affected if they are using the ChrootOS, which is the default when using "Plain" versions of Open and Clone funcs (e.g. PlainClone).


10) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6817)

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 netfilter nf_tables component in Linux kernel. A local authenticated user can trigger a use-after-free error and escalate privileges on the system.


11) 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.


12) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4244)

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 netfilter: nf_tables component. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


13) 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.


14) 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.


15) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-49568)

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

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when handling responses from a Git server. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


16) 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.
