CVSS: 7.8EPSS: 0%CPEs: 3EXPL: 0CVE-2023-2235 – Use-after-free in Linux kernel's Performance Events subsystem
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-2235
A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel Performance Events system can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. The perf_group_detach function did not check the event's siblings' attach_state before calling add_event_to_groups(), but remove_on_exec made it possible to call list_del_event() on before detaching from their group, making it possible to use a dangling pointer causing a use-after-free vulnerability. We recommend upgrading past commit fd0815f632c24878e325821943edccc7fde947a2. The Linux kernel's Performance Events subsystem has a use-after-free flaw that occurs when a user triggers the perf_group_detach and remove_on_exec functions simultaneously. 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/?id=fd0815f632c24878e325821943edccc7fde947a2 https://kernel.dance/fd0815f632c24878e325821943edccc7fde947a2 https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2023-2235 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2192589 • CWE-416: Use After Free •
CVSS: 8.2EPSS: 0%CPEs: 7EXPL: 0CVE-2023-31436 – Linux Kernel Net Scheduler Out-Of-Bounds Access Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-31436
qfq_change_class in net/sched/sch_qfq.c in the Linux kernel before 6.2.13 allows an out-of-bounds write because lmax can exceed QFQ_MIN_LMAX. An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s traffic control (QoS) subsystem in how a user triggers the qfq_change_class function with an incorrect MTU value of the network device used as lmax. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of the Linux Kernel. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute high-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of the MTU value provided to the QFQ Scheduler. • http://packetstormsecurity.com/files/173087/Kernel-Live-Patch-Security-Notice-LSN-0095-1.html http://packetstormsecurity.com/files/173757/Kernel-Live-Patch-Security-Notice-LSN-0096-1.html http://packetstormsecurity.com/files/175963/Kernel-Live-Patch-Security-Notice-LSN-0099-1.html https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v6.x/ChangeLog-6.2.13 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/3037933448f60f9acb705997eae62013ecb81e0d https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2023/06/msg00008.html https://security • CWE-787: Out-of-bounds Write •

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.

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 •
