Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-46955)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the ovs_fragment() function in net/openvswitch/actions.c when running openvswitch on kernels built with KASAN. A remote attacker can send specially crafted IPv4 packets to the system, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system or crash the kernel.
2) 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.
3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1829)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the tcindex_delete() function. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
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) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26852)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the ip6_route_multipath_add() and list_for_each_entry_safe() functions in net/ipv6/route.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.
