A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ksmbd, a high-performance in-kernel SMB server. The specific flaw exists within the handling of SMB2_SESSION_SETUP commands. The issue results from the lack of control of resource consumption. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to create a denial-of-service condition on the system.

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6704-4 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.17, drivers/phy/tegra/xusb.c mishandles the tegra_xusb_find_port_node return     value. Callers expect NULL in the error case, but an error pointer is used. (CVE-2023-23000)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ksmbd, a high-performance in-kernel SMB server. The specific flaw     exists within the handling of SMB2_SESSION_SETUP commands. The issue results from the lack of control of     resource consumption. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to create a denial-of-service condition     on the system. (CVE-2023-32247)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. The nft_setelem_catchall_deactivate() function checks whether the     catch-all set element is active in the current generation instead of the next generation before freeing     it, but only flags it inactive in the next generation, making it possible to free the element multiple     times, leading to a double free vulnerability. We recommend upgrading past commit     b1db244ffd041a49ecc9618e8feb6b5c1afcdaa7. (CVE-2024-1085)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. The nft_verdict_init() function allows positive values as drop error     within the hook verdict, and hence the nf_hook_slow() function can cause a double free vulnerability when     NF_DROP is issued with a drop error which resembles NF_ACCEPT. We recommend upgrading past commit     f342de4e2f33e0e39165d8639387aa6c19dff660. (CVE-2024-1086)

  - A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's scsi device driver in lpfc_unregister_fcf_rescan()     function. This can result in a null pointer dereference issue, possibly leading to a kernel panic or     denial of service issue. (CVE-2024-24855)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.17, an error path in dwc3_qcom_acpi_register_core in     drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-qcom.c lacks certain platform_device_put and kfree calls. (CVE-2023-22995)

  - In the Linux kernel before 6.5.9, there is a NULL pointer dereference in send_acknowledge in     net/nfc/nci/spi.c. (CVE-2023-46343)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.5.9. During a race with SQ thread exit, an     io_uring/fdinfo.c io_uring_show_fdinfo NULL pointer dereference can occur. (CVE-2023-46862)

  - bt_sock_recvmsg in net/bluetooth/af_bluetooth.c in the Linux kernel through 6.6.8 has a use-after-free     because of a bt_sock_ioctl race condition. (CVE-2023-51779)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.6.8. rose_ioctl in net/rose/af_rose.c has a use-     after-free because of a rose_accept race condition. (CVE-2023-51782)

  - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel. This issue     may allow a remote attacker to send a crafted TCP packet, triggering a heap-based buffer overflow that     results in kmalloc data being printed and potentially leaked to the kernel ring buffer (dmesg).
    (CVE-2023-6121)

  - A vulnerability was found in vhost_new_msg in drivers/vhost/vhost.c in the Linux kernel, which does not     properly initialize memory in messages passed between virtual guests and the host operating system in the     vhost/vhost.c:vhost_new_msg() function. This issue can allow local privileged users to read some kernel     memory contents when reading from the /dev/vhost-net device file. (CVE-2024-0340)

  - A flaw was found in the Netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel. The issue is in the nft_byteorder_eval()     function, where the code iterates through a loop and writes to the `dst` array. On each iteration, 8 bytes     are written, but `dst` is an array of u32, so each element only has space for 4 bytes. That means every     iteration overwrites part of the previous element corrupting this array of u32. This flaw allows a local     user to cause a denial of service or potentially break NetFilter functionality. (CVE-2024-0607)

  - In multiple functions of binder.c, there is a possible memory corruption due to a use after free. This     could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User     interaction is not needed for exploitation. (CVE-2023-21255)

  - There is a null-pointer-dereference flaw found in f2fs_write_end_io in fs/f2fs/data.c in the Linux kernel.
    This flaw allows a local privileged user to cause a denial of service problem. (CVE-2023-2898)
