CVE-2023-1998 – Spectre v2 SMT mitigations problem in Linux kernel
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-1998
20 Apr 2023 — The Linux kernel allows userspace processes to enable mitigations by calling prctl with PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL which disables the speculation feature as well as by using seccomp. We had noticed that on VMs of at least one major cloud provider, the kernel still left the victim process exposed to attacks in some cases even after enabling the spectre-BTI mitigation with prctl. The same behavior can be observed on a bare-metal machine when forcing the mitigation to IBRS on boot command line. This happened beca... • https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/51384 • CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor CWE-203: Observable Discrepancy CWE-1303: Non-Transparent Sharing of Microarchitectural Resources •
CVE-2023-2177 – Kernel: NULL pointer dereference problem in sctp_sched_dequeue_common
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-2177
20 Apr 2023 — A null pointer dereference issue was found in the sctp network protocol in net/sctp/stream_sched.c in Linux Kernel. If stream_in allocation is failed, stream_out is freed which would further be accessed. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially cause a denial of service.

CVE-2023-2194 – kernel: i2c: out-of-bounds write in xgene_slimpro_i2c_xfer()
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-2194
20 Apr 2023 — An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's SLIMpro I2C device driver. The userspace "data->block[0]" variable was not capped to a number between 0-255 and was used as the size of a memcpy, possibly writing beyond the end of dma_buffer. This flaw could allow a local privileged user to crash the system or potentially achieve code execution.
