Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: fix UAF issue in ksmbd_tcp_new_connection() The race is between the handling of a new TCP connection and
its disconnection. It leads to UAF on `struct tcp_transport` in
ksmbd_tcp_new_connection() function.

En el kernel de Linux se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ksmbd: soluciona problema de UAF en ksmbd_tcp_new_connection() La ejecución es entre el manejo de una nueva conexión TCP y su desconexión. Conduce a UAF en `struct tcp_transport` en la función ksmbd_tcp_new_connection().

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Linux Kernel. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. However, only systems with ksmbd enabled are vulnerable.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of TCP connection and disconnection. The issue results from the lack of proper locking when performing operations on an object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the kernel.

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.
