Security Fix(es):
kernel: A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s driver for the ASIX AX88179_178A-based USB 2.0/3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Devices. The vulnerability contains multiple out-of-bounds reads and possible out-of-bounds writes.(CVE-2022-2964)
kernel: A stack overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SYSCTL subsystem in how a user changes certain kernel parameters and variables. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.(CVE-2022-4378)
kernel: A vulnerabilty was found in Linux Kernel, where a speculative pointer dereference problem exists in the Linux Kernel on the do_prlimit() function. The resource argument value is controlled and is used in pointer arithmetic for the 'rlim' variable and can be used to leak the contents.(CVE-2023-0458)
kernel: A use-after-free flaw was found in qdisc_graft in net/sched/sch_api.c in the Linux Kernel due to a race problem. This flaw leads to a denial of service issue. If patch ebda44da44f6 ("net: sched: fix race condition in qdisc_graft()") not applied yet, then kernel could be affected.(CVE-2023-0590)
kernel: A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the traffic control index filter (tcindex) in the Linux kernel. The tcindex_delete does not properly deactivate filters, which can later lead to double freeing the structure. This flaw allows a local attacker to cause a use-after-free problem, leading to privilege escalation.(CVE-2023-1829)
kernel: A use-after-free flaw was found in btsdio_remove in drivers\bluetooth\btsdio.c in the Linux Kernel. A call to btsdio_remove with an unfinished job may cause a race problem which leads to a UAF on hdev devices.(CVE-2023-1989)
kernel: A use-after-free flaw was found in iscsi_sw_tcp_session_create in drivers/scsi/iscsi_tcp.c in the SCSI sub-component in the Linux Kernel. This issue could allow an attacker to leak kernel internal information.(CVE-2023-2162)
kernel: An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s traffic control (QoS) subsystem in how a user triggers the qfq_change_class function with an incorrect MTU value of the network device used as lmax. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.(CVE-2023-2248)
kernel: A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the UNIX protocol in net/unix/diag.c In unix_diag_get_exact in the Linux Kernel. The newly allocated skb does not have sk, leading to a NULL pointer. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially cause a denial of service.(CVE-2023-28327)
kernel: A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the az6027 driver in drivers/media/usb/dev-usb/az6027.c in the Linux Kernel. The message from user space is not checked properly before transferring into the device. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or potentially cause a denial of service.(CVE-2023-28328)
kernel: An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s traffic control (QoS) subsystem in how a user triggers the qfq_change_class function with an incorrect MTU value of the network device used as lmax. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.(CVE-2023-31436)
kernel: A use-after-free flaw was found in nr_listen in net/netrom/af_netrom.c in the Linux Kernel. The system must have netrom routing configured or an attacker must have the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for this issue to be exploited.(CVE-2023-32269)
