CVE-2023-42754

Se encontró una falla de desreferencia del puntero NULL en la pila ipv4 del kernel de Linux. Se suponía que el búfer de socket (skb) estaba asociado con un dispositivo antes de llamar a __ip_options_compile, lo que no siempre es el caso si ipvs redirige el skb. Este problema puede permitir que un usuario local con privilegios CAP_NET_ADMIN bloquee el sistema.

It was discovered that the USB subsystem in the Linux kernel contained a race condition while handling device descriptors in certain situations, leading to a out-of-bounds read vulnerability. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. Lin Ma discovered that the Netlink Transformation subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize a policy data structure, leading to an out-of-bounds vulnerability. A local privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly expose sensitive information.
