Description
This security bulletin contains information about 15 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-1000253)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when loading of Executable and Linkable Format (ELF) executables. A local user can create a specially crafted ELF binary, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system with root privileges.
2) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-14051)
The vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.The weakness exists in the qla2x00_sysfs_write_optrom_ctl function in drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.ct due to an integer overflow. A local attacker can gain root access and cause the service to crash.
3) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2636)
The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code.
Race condition in drivers/tty/n_hdlc.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.1 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (double free) by setting the HDLC line discipline.
4) 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.
5) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48839)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to memory leak within the tpacket_rcv() and packet_recvmsg() functions in net/packet/af_packet.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-53146)
The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the decode_cb_compound4res() function in fs/nfsd/nfs4callback.c. A local user can execute arbitrary code.
7) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-53156)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read error within the htc_connect_service() function in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_hst.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-53173)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the nfs4_open_release() function in fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.
9) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-53239)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the usb6fire_chip_abort(), usb6fire_chip_destroy(), usb6fire_chip_probe() and usb6fire_chip_disconnect() functions in sound/usb/6fire/chip.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.
10) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-56539)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to memory corruption within the drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/fw.h. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
11) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-56548)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the hfsplus_read_wrapper() function in fs/hfsplus/wrapper.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.
12) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-56598)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read error within the dtReadFirst() function in fs/jfs/jfs_dtree.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
13) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-56604)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the rfcomm_sock_alloc() function in net/bluetooth/rfcomm/sock.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.
14) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-56605)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the l2cap_sock_alloc() function in net/bluetooth/l2cap_sock.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.
15) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-56619)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the nilfs_put_page() function in fs/nilfs2/dir.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.
