CVE-2023-4015

Una vulnerabilidad de use-after-free en el netfilter del kernel de Linux: nf_tables componente puede ser explotado para lograr la escalada de privilegios locales. En un error al crear una regla nftables, desactivar expresiones inmediatas en nft_immediate_deactivate() puede llevar a desenlazar la cadena y los objetos se desactiven pero se usen más tarde. Recomendamos actualizar al commit anterior 0a771f7b266b02d262900c75f1e175c7fe76fec2.

A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component, which can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. On an error when building a nftables rule, deactivating immediate expressions in nft_immediate_deactivate() can unbind the chain and objects can be deactivated but used later.

Daniel Moghimi discovered that some Intel Processors did not properly clear microarchitectural state after speculative execution of various instructions. A local unprivileged user could use this to obtain to sensitive information. William Zhao discovered that the Traffic Control subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle network packet retransmission in certain situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.
