CVE-2023-45863

Se descubrió un problema en lib/kobject.c en el kernel de Linux anterior a 6.2.3. Con acceso root, un atacante puede desencadenar una condición de ejecución que resulte en una escritura fuera de los límites fill_kobj_path.

An out-of-bounds memory write flaw was found in the load/unload module in the Linux kernel's kobject functionality, potentially triggering a race condition in the kobject_get_path function. This issue may allow a local user to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

It was discovered that the ASUS HID driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle device removal, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker with physical access could plug in a specially crafted USB device to cause a denial of service. Jana Hofmann, Emanuele Vannacci, Cedric Fournet, Boris Kopf, and Oleksii Oleksenko discovered that some AMD processors could leak stale data from division operations in certain situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information.
