CVE-2023-5345

Se puede explotar una vulnerabilidad de use-after-free en el componente fs/smb/client del kernel de Linux para lograr una escalada de privilegios local. En caso de un error en smb3_fs_context_parse_param, se liberó ctx->password pero el campo no se configuró en NULL, lo que podría provocar una doble liberación. Recomendamos actualizar al commit anterior e6e43b8aa7cd3c3af686caf0c2e11819a886d705.

A flaw was found in the SMB client component in the Linux kernel. In case of an error in smb3_fs_context_parse_param, `ctx->password` was freed, but the field was not set to NULL, potentially leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

It was discovered that the SMB network file sharing protocol implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Lin Ma discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate network family support while creating a new netfilter table. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
