https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-0458
A speculative pointer dereference problem exists in the Linux Kernel on the do_prlimit() function. The resource argument value is controlled and is used in pointer arithmetic for the 'rlim' variable and can be used to leak the contents. We recommend upgrading past version 6.1.8 or commit 739790605705ddcf18f21782b9c99ad7d53a8c11 A vulnerabilty was found in Linux Kernel, where a speculative pointer dereference problem exists in the Linux Kernel on the do_prlimit() function.

CVSS: 5.6EPSS: 0%CPEs: 2EXPL: 2CVE-2023-1998 – Spectre v2 SMT mitigations problem in Linux kernel
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-1998
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 because when plain IBRS was enabled (not enhanced IBRS), the kernel had some logic that determined that STIBP was not needed. The IBRS bit implicitly protects against cross-thread branch target injection. However, with legacy IBRS, the IBRS bit was cleared on returning to userspace, due to performance reasons, which disabled the implicit STIBP and left userspace threads vulnerable to cross-thread branch target injection against which STIBP protects. • https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/51384 https://github.com/google/security-research/security/advisories/GHSA-mj4w-6495-6crx https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/6921ed9049bc7457f66c1596c5b78aec0dae4a9d https://kernel.dance/#6921ed9049bc7457f66c1596c5b78aec0dae4a9d https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2023/05/msg00005.html https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2023/05/msg00006.html https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2023-1998 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2187257 • CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor CWE-203: Observable Discrepancy CWE-1303: Non-Transparent Sharing of Microarchitectural Resources •

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.

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.
