CVE-2023-52616

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: crypto: lib/mpi: corrige el acceso inesperado al puntero en mpi_ec_init Cuando se inicializa la estructura mpi_ec_ctx, algunos campos no se borran, lo que provoca un bloqueo al hacer referencia al campo cuando se lanzó la estructura. Inicialmente, este problema se ignoró porque la memoria para mpi_ec_ctx se asigna con el indicador __GFP_ZERO. Por ejemplo, este error se activará al calcular el valor Za para SM2 por separado.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: lib/mpi - Fix unexpected pointer access in mpi_ec_init When the mpi_ec_ctx structure is initialized, some fields are not cleared, causing a crash when referencing the field when the structure was released. Initially, this issue was ignored because memory for mpi_ec_ctx is allocated with the __GFP_ZERO flag. For example, this error will be triggered when calculating the Za value for SM2 separately.

Alon Zahavi discovered that the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate H2C PDU data, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Sander Wiebing, Alvise de Faveri Tron, Herbert Bos, and Cristiano Giuffrida discovered that the Linux kernel mitigations for the initial Branch History Injection vulnerability were insufficient for Intel processors. A local attacker could potentially use this to expose sensitive information.
