A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's udmabuf device driver. The specific flaw exists within a fault handler. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a memory access past the end of an array. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of the kernel.

According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in linux/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c of the netfilter subsystem.
    This flaw allows a local user to cause an out-of-bounds write issue. (CVE-2022-1015)

  - An out-of-bounds(OOB) memory access vulnerability was found in vmwgfx driver in     drivers/gpu/vmxgfx/vmxgfx_kms.c in GPU component in the Linux kernel with device file '/dev/dri/renderD128     (or Dxxx)'. This flaw allows a local attacker with a user account on the system to gain privilege, causing     a denial of service(DoS). (CVE-2022-36280)

  - A double-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TUN/TAP device driver functionality in how a user     registers the device when the register_netdevice function fails (NETDEV_REGISTER notifier). This flaw     allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-4744)

  - 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. We recommend upgrading past version 6.1.8 or commit     739790605705ddcf18f21782b9c99ad7d53a8c11 (CVE-2023-0458)

  - Copy_from_user on 64-bit versions of the Linux kernel does not implement the __uaccess_begin_nospec     allowing a user to bypass the 'access_ok' check and pass a kernel pointer to copy_from_user(). This would     allow an attacker to leak information. We recommend upgrading beyond commit     74e19ef0ff8061ef55957c3abd71614ef0f42f47 (CVE-2023-0459)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's core dump subsystem. This flaw allows a local user     to crash the system. Only if patch 390031c94211 ('coredump: Use the vma snapshot in fill_files_note') not     applied yet, then kernel could be affected. (CVE-2023-1249)

  - Use After Free vulnerability in Linux kernel traffic control index filter (tcindex) allows Privilege     Escalation. The imperfect hash area can be updated while packets are traversing, which will cause a use-     after-free when 'tcf_exts_exec()' is called with the destroyed tcf_ext. A local attacker user can use this     vulnerability to elevate its privileges to root. This issue affects Linux Kernel: from 4.14 before git     commit ee059170b1f7e94e55fa6cadee544e176a6e59c2. (CVE-2023-1281)

  - A flaw was found in KVM. When calling the KVM_GET_DEBUGREGS ioctl, on 32-bit systems, there might be some     uninitialized portions of the kvm_debugregs structure that could be copied to userspace, causing an     information leak. (CVE-2023-1513)

  - A flaw that boot CPU could be vulnerable for the speculative execution behavior kind of attacks in the     Linux kernel X86 CPU Power management options functionality was found in the way user resuming CPU from     suspend-to-RAM. A local user could use this flaw to potentially get unauthorized access to some memory of     the CPU similar to the speculative execution behavior kind of attacks. (CVE-2023-1637)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in vhost_net_set_backend in drivers/vhost/net.c in virtio network     subcomponent in the Linux kernel due to a double fget. This flaw could allow a local attacker to crash the     system, and could even lead to a kernel information leak problem. (CVE-2023-1838)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel io_uring system can be exploited to achieve local     privilege escalation. The io_file_get_fixed function lacks the presence of ctx->uring_lock which can lead     to a Use-After-Free vulnerability due a race condition with fixed files getting unregistered. We recommend     upgrading past commit da24142b1ef9fd5d36b76e36bab328a5b27523e8. (CVE-2023-1872)

  - The Linux kernel allows userspace processes to enable mitigations by calling prctl with     PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL which disables the speculation feature as well as by using seccomp. We had noticed     that on VMs of at least one major cloud provider, the kernel still left the victim process exposed to     attacks in some cases even after enabling the spectre-BTI mitigation with prctl. The same behavior can be     observed on a bare-metal machine when forcing the mitigation to IBRS on boot command line. This happened     because when plain IBRS was enabled (not enhanced IBRS), the kernel had some logic that determined that     STIBP was not needed. The IBRS bit implicitly protects against cross-thread branch target injection.
    However, with legacy IBRS, the IBRS bit was cleared on returning to userspace, due to performance reasons,     which disabled the implicit STIBP and left userspace threads vulnerable to cross-thread branch target     injection against which STIBP protects. (CVE-2023-1998)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's udmabuf device driver. The specific flaw exists within a fault     handler. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a     memory access past the end of an array. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges     and execute arbitrary code in the context of the kernel. (CVE-2023-2008)

  - An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's XFS file system in how a user restores     an XFS image after failure (with a dirty log journal). This flaw allows a local user to crash or     potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-2124)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in iscsi_sw_tcp_session_create in drivers/scsi/iscsi_tcp.c in     SCSI sub-component in the Linux Kernel. In this flaw an attacker could leak kernel internal information.
    (CVE-2023-2162)

  - A vulnerability was found in compare_netdev_and_ip in drivers/infiniband/core/cma.c in RDMA in the Linux     Kernel. The improper cleanup results in out-of-boundary read, where a local user can utilize this problem     to crash the system or escalation of privilege. (CVE-2023-2176)

  - A null pointer dereference issue was found in the sctp network protocol in net/sctp/stream_sched.c in     Linux Kernel. If stream_in allocation is failed, stream_out is freed which would further be accessed. A     local user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2023-2177)

  - An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's SLIMpro I2C device driver. The     userspace 'data->block[0]' variable was not capped to a number between 0-255 and was used as the size of a     memcpy, possibly writing beyond the end of dma_buffer. This flaw could allow a local privileged user to     crash the system or potentially achieve code execution. (CVE-2023-2194)

  - Rejected reason: This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority because it was     the duplicate of CVE-2023-31436. (CVE-2023-2248)

  - A denial of service problem was found, due to a possible recursive locking scenario, resulting in a     deadlock in table_clear in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c in the Linux Kernel Device Mapper-Multipathing sub-     component. (CVE-2023-2269)

  - Rejected reason: DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: CVE-2023-33203. Reason: This candidate is a     reservation duplicate of CVE-2023-33203. Notes: All CVE users should reference CVE-2023-33203 instead of     this candidate. All references and descriptions in this candidate have been removed to prevent accidental     usage. (CVE-2023-2483)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem in the way it handled the     extra inode size for extended attributes. This flaw could allow a privileged local user to cause a system     crash or other undefined behaviors. (CVE-2023-2513)

  - do_tls_getsockopt in net/tls/tls_main.c in the Linux kernel through 6.2.6 lacks a lock_sock call, leading     to a race condition (with a resultant use-after-free or NULL pointer dereference). (CVE-2023-28466)

  - An issue was discovered in arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.c in the Linux kernel before 6.2.8. nVMX on x86_64     lacks consistency checks for CR0 and CR4. (CVE-2023-30456)

  - qfq_change_class in net/sched/sch_qfq.c in the Linux kernel before 6.2.13 allows an out-of-bounds write     because lmax can exceed QFQ_MIN_LMAX. (CVE-2023-31436)

  - In the Linux kernel through 6.3.1, a use-after-free in Netfilter nf_tables when processing batch requests     can be abused to perform arbitrary read and write operations on kernel memory. Unprivileged local users     can obtain root privileges. This occurs because anonymous sets are mishandled. (CVE-2023-32233)

  - The Linux kernel before 6.2.9 has a race condition and resultant use-after-free in     drivers/net/ethernet/qualcomm/emac/emac.c if a physically proximate attacker unplugs an emac based device.
    (CVE-2023-33203)

NFSD tracks the number of pages held by each NFSD thread by combining the receive and send     buffers of a remote procedure call (RPC) into a single array of pages. A client can force the send buffer     to shrink by sending an RPC message over TCP with garbage data added at the end of the message. The RPC     message with garbage data is still correctly formed according to the specification and is passed forward     to handlers. Vulnerable code in NFSD is not expecting the oversized request and writes beyond the     allocated buffer space. CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H (CVE-2022-43945)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in btrfs_search_slot in fs/btrfs/ctree.c in btrfs in the Linux Kernel.This     flaw allows an attacker to crash the system and possibly cause a kernel information lea (CVE-2023-1611)

  - A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel Xircom 16-bit PCMCIA (PC-card) Ethernet driver was found.A local     user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.
    (CVE-2023-1670)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in vhost_net_set_backend in drivers/vhost/net.c in virtio network     subcomponent in the Linux kernel due to a double fget. This flaw could allow a local attacker to crash the     system, and could even lead to a kernel information leak problem. (CVE-2023-1838)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in xgene_hwmon_remove in drivers/hwmon/xgene-hwmon.c in the Hardware     Monitoring Linux Kernel Driver (xgene-hwmon). This flaw could allow a local attacker to crash the system     due to a race problem. This vulnerability could even lead to a kernel information leak problem.
    (CVE-2023-1855)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel io_uring system can be exploited to achieve local     privilege escalation. The io_file_get_fixed function lacks the presence of ctx->uring_lock which can lead     to a Use-After-Free vulnerability due a race condition with fixed files getting unregistered. We recommend     upgrading past commit da24142b1ef9fd5d36b76e36bab328a5b27523e8. (CVE-2023-1872)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in btsdio_remove in drivers\bluetooth\btsdio.c in the Linux Kernel. In     this flaw, a call to btsdio_remove with an unfinished job, may cause a race problem leading to a UAF on     hdev devices. (CVE-2023-1989)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in ndlc_remove in drivers/nfc/st-nci/ndlc.c in the Linux Kernel. This flaw     could allow an attacker to crash the system due to a race problem. (CVE-2023-1990)

  - The Linux kernel allows userspace processes to enable mitigations by calling prctl with     PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL which disables the speculation feature as well as by using seccomp. We had noticed     that on VMs of at least one major cloud provider, the kernel still left the victim process exposed to     attacks in some cases even after enabling the spectre-BTI mitigation with prctl. The same behavior can be     observed on a bare-metal machine when forcing the mitigation to IBRS on boot command line. This happened     because when plain IBRS was enabled (not enhanced IBRS), the kernel had some logic that determined that     STIBP was not needed. The IBRS bit implicitly protects against cross-thread branch target injection.
    However, with legacy IBRS, the IBRS bit was cleared on returning to userspace, due to performance reasons,     which disabled the implicit STIBP and left userspace threads vulnerable to cross-thread branch target     injection against which STIBP protects. (CVE-2023-1998)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's udmabuf device driver. The specific flaw exists within a fault     handler. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a     memory access past the end of an array. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges     and execute arbitrary code in the context of the kernel. (CVE-2023-2008)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in iscsi_sw_tcp_session_create in drivers/scsi/iscsi_tcp.c in     SCSI sub-component in the Linux Kernel. In this flaw an attacker could leak kernel internal information.
    (CVE-2023-2162)

  - A vulnerability was found in compare_netdev_and_ip in drivers/infiniband/core/cma.c in RDMA in the Linux     Kernel. The improper cleanup results in out-of-boundary read, where a local user can utilize this problem     to crash the system or escalation of privilege. (CVE-2023-2176)

  - The Linux kernel before 6.2.9 has a race condition and resultant use-after-free in     drivers/power/supply/da9150-charger.c if a physically proximate attacker unplugs a device.
    (CVE-2023-30772)

  - A regression exists in the Linux Kernel within KVM: nVMX that allowed for speculative execution attacks.
    L2 can carry out Spectre v2 attacks on L1 due to L1 thinking it doesn't need retpolines or IBPB after     running L2 due to KVM (L0) advertising eIBRS support to L1. An attacker at L2 with code execution can     execute code on an indirect branch on the host machine. We recommend upgrading to Kernel 6.2 or past     commit 2e7eab81425a (CVE-2022-2196)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, where unauthorized access to the execution of the setuid file with     capabilities was found in the Linux kernel's OverlayFS subsystem in how a user copies a capable file from     a nosuid mount into another mount. This uid mapping bug allows a local user to escalate their privileges     on the system. (CVE-2023-0386)

  - A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel Xircom 16-bit PCMCIA (PC-card) Ethernet driver was found.A local     user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netdevsim device driver, within the scheduling of events. This     issue results from the improper management of a reference count. This may allow an attacker to create a     denial of service condition on the system. (CVE-2023-2019)

  - A vulnerability was found in compare_netdev_and_ip in drivers/infiniband/core/cma.c in RDMA in the Linux     Kernel. The improper cleanup results in out-of-boundary read, where a local user can utilize this problem     to crash the system or escalation of privilege. (CVE-2023-2176)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel Performance Events system can be exploited to achieve     local privilege escalation. The perf_group_detach function did not check the event's siblings'     attach_state before calling add_event_to_groups(), but remove_on_exec made it possible to call     list_del_event() on before detaching from their group, making it possible to use a dangling pointer     causing a use-after-free vulnerability. We recommend upgrading past commit     fd0815f632c24878e325821943edccc7fde947a2. (CVE-2023-2235)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.15.13, drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/steering/dr_domain.c     misinterprets the mlx5_get_uars_page return value (expects it to be NULL in the error case, whereas it is     actually an error pointer). (CVE-2023-23006)
