In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cifs: fix DFS traversal oops without CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL When compiled with CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL disabled, cifs_dfs_d_automount is NULL. cifs.ko logic for mapping CIFS_FATTR_DFS_REFERRAL attributes to S_AUTOMOUNT and corresponding dentry flags is retained regardless of CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL, leading to a NULL pointer dereference in VFS follow_automount() when traversing a DFS referral link: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 ... Call Trace: <TASK> __traverse_mounts+0xb5/0x220 ? cifs_revalidate_mapping+0x65/0xc0 [cifs] step_into+0x195/0x610 ? lookup_fast+0xe2/0xf0 path_lookupat+0x64/0x140 filename_lookup+0xc2/0x140 ? __create_object+0x299/0x380 ? kmem_cache_alloc+0x119/0x220 ? user_path_at_empty+0x31/0x50 user_path_at_empty+0x31/0x50 __x64_sys_chdir+0x2a/0xd0 ? exit_to_user_mode_prepare+0xca/0x100 do_syscall_64+0x42/0x90 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x72/0xdc This fix adds an inline cifs_dfs_d_automount() {return -EREMOTE} handler when CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL is disabled. An alternative would be to avoid flagging S_AUTOMOUNT, etc. without CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL. This approach was chosen as it provides more control over the error path.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - cifs: fix DFS traversal oops without CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL When compiled with CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL     disabled, cifs_dfs_d_automount is NULL. cifs.ko logic for mapping CIFS_FATTR_DFS_REFERRAL attributes to     S_AUTOMOUNT and corresponding dentry flags is retained regardless of CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL, leading to a     NULL pointer dereference in VFS follow_automount() when traversing a DFS referral link: BUG: kernel NULL     pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 ...

An alternative would be to avoid flagging S_AUTOMOUNT,     etc. without CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL. This approach was chosen as it provides more control over the error     path. (CVE-2023-53246)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-1054 advisory.

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel Traffic Control (TC) subsystem. Using a specific networking     configuration (redirecting egress packets to ingress using TC action mirred) a local unprivileged user     could trigger a CPU soft lockup (ABBA deadlock) when the transport protocol in use (TCP or SCTP) does a     retransmission, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2022-4269)

    A NULL pointer dereference has been discovered in the Linux Kernel, in io_file_bitmap_get in     io_uring/filetable.c. (CVE-2023-1583)

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.313-235.533. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2027 advisory.

    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)

    An insufficient permission check has been found in the Bluetooth subsystem ofthe Linux kernel when     handling ioctl system calls of HCI sockets. This causestasks without the proper CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     can easily mark HCI socketsas _trusted_. Trusted sockets are intended to enable the sending and     receivingof management commands and events, such as pairing or connecting with a newdevice.  As a result,     unprivileged users can acquire a trusted socket, leadingto unauthorized execution of management commands.
    The exploit requires onlythe presence of a set of commonly used setuid programs (e.g., su, sudo).
    (CVE-2023-2002)

    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)

    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)

    cbq_classify in net/sched/sch_cbq.c in the Linux kernel through 6.1.4 allows attackers to cause a denial     of service (slab-out-of-bounds read) because of type confusion (non-negative numbers can sometimes     indicate a TC_ACT_SHOT condition rather than valid classification results). (CVE-2023-23454)

    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.

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.4.241-150.347. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.4-2023-044 advisory.

    A vulnerability was found in the fs/inode.c:inode_init_owner() function logic of the LInux kernel that     allows local users to create files for the XFS file-system with an unintended group ownership and with     group execution and SGID permission bits set, in a scenario where a directory is SGID and belongs to a     certain group and is writable by a user who is not a member of this group. This can lead to excessive     permissions granted in case when they should not.  This vulnerability is similar to the previous     CVE-2018-13405 and adds the missed fix for the XFS. (CVE-2021-4037)

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

    tun: avoid double free in tun_free_netdev (CVE-2021-47082)

    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).

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

    gfs2: Always check inode size of inline inodes (CVE-2022-49739)

    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)

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)

    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)
