Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48502)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the ntfs_set_ea() function in fs/ntfs3/xattr.c in Linux kernel ntfs3 subsystem. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system or crash the OS kernel.
2) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3611)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the qfq_change_agg() function in net/sched/sch_qfq.c within the Linux kernel net/sched: sch_qfq component. A local user trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3776)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the the Linux kernel's net/sched: cls_fw component. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39197)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the Netfilter Connection Tracking (conntrack) in the Linux kernel in the nf_conntrack_dccp_packet() function in net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto_dccp.c. A remote attacker can send specially crafted DCCP packets to the system, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44466)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the ceph_decode_32() function in net/ceph/messenger_v2.c in the Ceph filesystem when handling TCP packets. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HELLO or AUTH frames to trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
6) 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.
7) Improper locking (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0639)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper locking within the sctp_auto_asconf_init() function in net/sctp/socket.c. A local user can crash the kernel.
