CVE-2023-51043

En el kernel de Linux anterior a 6.4.5, drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic.c tiene un use-after-free durante una condición de ejecución entre un commit atómico sin bloqueo y una descarga del controlador.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) subsystem in which a use-after-free can be caused when a user triggers a race condition between a nonblocking atomic commit and a driver unload. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

Wei Chen discovered that a race condition existed in the TIPC protocol implementation in the Linux kernel, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the virtio network implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle file references in the host, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly expose sensitive information.
