CVE-2023-2124 – kernel: OOB access in the Linux kernel's XFS subsystem
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-2124
An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s XFS file system in how a user restores an XFS image after failure (with a dirty log journal). This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. • https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/fs/xfs/xfs_buf_item_recover.c?h=v6.4-rc1&id=22ed903eee23a5b174e240f1cdfa9acf393a5210 https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2023/10/msg00027.html https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20230622-0010 https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=7e9494b8b399902e994e https://www.debian.org/security/2023/dsa-5448 https://www.debian.org/security/2023/dsa-5480 https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2023-2124 https • CWE-125: Out-of-bounds Read CWE-787: Out-of-bounds Write •
CVE-2023-32233 – kernel: netfilter: use-after-free in nf_tables when processing batch requests can lead to privilege escalation
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-32233
In the Linux kernel through 6.3.1, a use-after-free in Netfilter nf_tables when processing batch requests can be abused to perform arbitrary read and write operations on kernel memory. Unprivileged local users can obtain root privileges. This occurs because anonymous sets are mishandled. A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Netfilter subsystem of the Linux kernel when processing batch requests to update nf_tables configuration. This vulnerability can be abused to perform arbitrary reads and writes in kernel memory. • https://github.com/oferchen/POC-CVE-2023-32233 https://github.com/PIDAN-HEIDASHUAI/CVE-2023-32233 https://github.com/Liuk3r/CVE-2023-32233 https://github.com/RogelioPumajulca/TEST-CVE-2023-32233 https://github.com/void0red/CVE-2023-32233 http://packetstormsecurity.com/files/173087/Kernel-Live-Patch-Security-Notice-LSN-0095-1.html http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2023/05/15/5 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2196105 https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/k • CWE-416: Use After Free •
CVE-2023-1859
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-1859
A use-after-free flaw was found in xen_9pfs_front_removet in net/9p/trans_xen.c in Xen transport for 9pfs in the Linux Kernel. This flaw could allow a local attacker to crash the system due to a race problem, possibly leading to a kernel information leak. • https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230313090002.3308025-1-zyytlz.wz%40163.com • CWE-416: Use After Free •
CVE-2023-2156 – Linux Kernel IPv6 RPL Protocol Reachable Assertion Denial-of-Service Vulnerability
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-2156
A flaw was found in the networking subsystem of the Linux kernel within the handling of the RPL protocol. This issue results from the lack of proper handling of user-supplied data, which can lead to an assertion failure. This may allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to create a denial of service condition on the system. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to create a denial-of-service condition on affected installations of Linux Kernel. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of the RPL protocol. • http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2023/05/17/8 http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2023/05/17/9 http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2023/05/18/1 http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2023/05/19/1 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2196292 https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2023/08/msg00001.html https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20230622-0001 https://www.debian.org/security/2023/dsa-5448 https:// • CWE-617: Reachable Assertion •
CVE-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 •
