Description

This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48651)

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.


2) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-52502)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition within the nfc_llcp_sock_get() and nfc_llcp_sock_get_sn() functions in net/nfc/llcp_core.c. A local user can exploit the race and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


3) 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.


4) 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.


5) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26585)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition within the tls_encrypt_done() function in net/tls/tls_sw.c. A remote attacker user can send specially crafted requests to the system and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


6) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26610)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the iwl_dbg_tlv_override_trig_node() function in drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/iwl-dbg-tlv.c. A local user can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


7) Off-by-one (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26766)

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

The vulnerability exists due to an off-by-one error within the _pad_sdma_tx_descs() function in drivers/infiniband/hw/hfi1/sdma.c. A local user can trigger an off-by-one error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
