CVE-2023-5178

Se encontró una vulnerabilidad de use-after-free en drivers/nvme/target/tcp.c` en `nvmet_tcp_free_crypto` debido a un error lógico en el subsistema NVMe-oF/TCP en el kernel de Linux. Este problema puede permitir que un usuario malintencionado cause un problema de use-after-free y double-free, lo que puede permitir la ejecución remota de código o provocar una escalada de privilegios locales en caso de que el atacante ya tenga privilegios locales.

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.
