CVE-2023-3611

An out-of-bounds memory write flaw was found in qfq_change_agg in net/sched/sch_qfq.c in the Traffic Control (QoS) subsystem in the Linux kernel. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

It was discovered that the NTFS file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly check buffer indexes in certain situations, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information. Stonejiajia, Shir Tamari and Sagi Tzadik discovered that the OverlayFS implementation in the Ubuntu Linux kernel did not properly perform permission checks in certain situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to gain elevated privileges.
