In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gpiolib: cdev: fix NULL-pointer dereferences There are several places where we can crash the kernel by requesting lines, unbinding the GPIO device, then calling any of the system calls relevant to the GPIO character device's annonymous file descriptors: ioctl(), read(), poll(). While I observed it with the GPIO simulator, it will also happen for any of the GPIO devices that can be hot-unplugged - for instance any HID GPIO expander (e.g. CP2112). This affects both v1 and v2 uAPI. This fixes it partially by checking if gdev->chip is not NULL but it doesn't entirely remedy the situation as we still have a race condition in which another thread can remove the device after the check.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    hfs: fix OOB Read in __hfs_brec_find (CVE-2022-50581)

    The Linux kernel does not correctly mitigate SMT attacks, as discovered through a strange pattern in the     kernel API using STIBP as a mitigation, leaving the process exposed for a short period of time after a     syscall. The kernel also does not issue an IBPB immediately during the syscall. (CVE-2023-0045)

    A buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the Netfilter subsystem in the Linux Kernel. This issue could     allow the leakage of both stack and heap addresses, and potentially allow Local Privilege Escalation to     the root user via arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2023-0179)

    There is a logic error in io_uring's implementation which can be used to trigger a use-after-free     vulnerability leading to privilege escalation. In the io_prep_async_work function the assumption that the     last io_grab_identity call cannot return false is not true, and in this case the function will use the     init_cred or the previous linked requests identity to do operations instead of using the current identity.
    This can lead to reference counting issues causing use-after-free. We recommend upgrading past version     5.10.161. (CVE-2023-0240)

    A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in rawv6_push_pending_frames in net/ipv6/raw.c in the network     subcomponent in the Linux kernel. This flaw causes the system to crash. (CVE-2023-0394)

    Detected a few exploitable gadgets that could leak secret memory through a side-channel such as MDS as     well as insufficient hardening of the usercopy functions against spectre-v1. (CVE-2023-0459)

    There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel which can be exploited to achieve local     privilege escalation. To reach the vulnerability kernel configuration flag CONFIG_TLS or     CONFIG_XFRM_ESPINTCP has to be configured, but the operation does not require any privilege.

    There is a use-after-free bug of icsk_ulp_data of a struct inet_connection_sock.

    When CONFIG_TLS is enabled, user can install a tls context (struct tls_context) on a connected tcp socket.
    The context is not cleared if this socket is disconnected and reused as a listener. If a new socket is     created from the listener, the context is inherited and vulnerable.

    The setsockopt TCP_ULP operation does not require any privilege.

    We recommend upgrading past commit 2c02d41d71f90a5168391b6a5f2954112ba2307c (CVE-2023-0461)

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.86-53.137. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.15-2023-012 advisory.

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A denial of service flaw may occur if there is a consecutive request     of the NVME_IOCTL_RESET and the NVME_IOCTL_SUBSYS_RESET through the device file of the driver, resulting     in a PCIe link disconnect. (CVE-2022-3169)

    A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Linux Kernel. Affected is the function     btf_dump_name_dups of the file tools/lib/bpf/btf_dump.c of the component libbpf. The manipulation leads to     use after free. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The identifier of this vulnerability     is VDB-211032. (CVE-2022-3534)

    Guests can trigger NIC interface reset/abort/crash via netback It is possible for a guest to trigger a NIC     interface reset/abort/crash in a Linux based network backend by sending certain kinds of packets. It     appears to be an (unwritten?) assumption in the rest of the Linux network stack that packet protocol     headers are all contained within the linear section of the SKB and some NICs behave badly if this is not     the case. This has been reported to occur with Cisco (enic) and Broadcom NetXtrem II BCM5780 (bnx2x)     though it may be an issue with other NICs/drivers as well. In case the frontend is sending requests with     split headers, netback will forward those violating above mentioned assumption to the networking core,     resulting in said misbehavior. (CVE-2022-3643)

    An incorrect TLB flush issue was found in the Linux kernel's GPU i915 kernel driver, potentially leading     to random memory corruption or data leaks. This flaw could allow a local user to crash the system or     escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-4139)

    Guests can trigger deadlock in Linux netback driver T[his CNA information record relates to multiple CVEs;
    the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.] The patch for XSA-392 introduced     another issue which might result in a deadlock when trying to free the SKB of a packet dropped due to the     XSA-392 handling (CVE-2022-42328). Additionally when dropping packages for other reasons the same deadlock     could occur in case of netpoll being active for the interface the xen-netback driver is connected to     (CVE-2022-42329). (CVE-2022-42328)

(CVE-2022-42329)

    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)

    A race condition in the x86 KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 6.1-rc6 allows guest OS users to     cause a denial of service (host OS crash or host OS memory corruption) when nested virtualisation and the     TDP MMU are enabled. (CVE-2022-45869)
