Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.

1) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU89680

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 1.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48651

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

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in drivers/net/ipvlan/ipvlan_core.c. A remote attacker on the local network can send specially crafted packets to the system, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.

Mitigation

Update the affected package the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 40 for SLE 15 SP2) to the latest version.

3) Race condition

EUVDB-ID: #VU85241

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-2023-6546

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.
