In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tun: Fix memory leak for detached NAPI queue. syzkaller reported [0] memory leaks of sk and skb related to the TUN device with no repro, but we can reproduce it easily with: struct ifreq ifr = {} int fd_tun, fd_tmp; char buf[4] = {}; fd_tun = openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/net/tun", O_WRONLY, 0); ifr.ifr_flags = IFF_TUN | IFF_NAPI | IFF_MULTI_QUEUE; ioctl(fd_tun, TUNSETIFF, &ifr); ifr.ifr_flags = IFF_DETACH_QUEUE; ioctl(fd_tun, TUNSETQUEUE, &ifr); fd_tmp = socket(AF_PACKET, SOCK_PACKET, 0); ifr.ifr_flags = IFF_UP; ioctl(fd_tmp, SIOCSIFFLAGS, &ifr); write(fd_tun, buf, sizeof(buf)); close(fd_tun); If we enable NAPI and multi-queue on a TUN device, we can put skb into tfile->sk.sk_write_queue after the queue is detached. We should prevent it by checking tfile->detached before queuing skb. Note this must be done under tfile->sk.sk_write_queue.lock because write() and ioctl(IFF_DETACH_QUEUE) can run concurrently. Otherwise, there would be a small race window: write() ioctl(IFF_DETACH_QUEUE) `- tun_get_user `- __tun_detach |- if (tfile->detached) |- tun_disable_queue | `-> false | `- tfile->detached = tun | `- tun_queue_purge |- spin_lock_bh(&queue->lock) `- __skb_queue_tail(queue, skb) Another solution is to call tun_queue_purge() when closing and reattaching the detached queue, but it could paper over another problems. Also, we do the same kind of test for IFF_NAPI_FRAGS.

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.

  - tun: Fix memory leak for detached NAPI queue. syzkaller reported [0] memory leaks of sk and skb related to     the TUN device with no repro, but we can reproduce it easily with: struct ifreq ifr = {} int fd_tun,     fd_tmp; char buf[4] = {}; fd_tun = openat(AT_FDCWD, /dev/net/tun, O_WRONLY, 0); ifr.ifr_flags = IFF_TUN     | IFF_NAPI | IFF_MULTI_QUEUE; ioctl(fd_tun, TUNSETIFF, &ifr); ifr.ifr_flags = IFF_DETACH_QUEUE;
    ioctl(fd_tun, TUNSETQUEUE, &ifr); fd_tmp = socket(AF_PACKET, SOCK_PACKET, 0); ifr.ifr_flags = IFF_UP;
    ioctl(fd_tmp, SIOCSIFFLAGS, &ifr); write(fd_tun, buf, sizeof(buf)); close(fd_tun); If we enable NAPI and     multi-queue on a TUN device, we can put skb into tfile->sk.sk_write_queue after the queue is detached. We     should prevent it by checking tfile->detached before queuing skb. Note this must be done under     tfile->sk.sk_write_queue.lock because write() and ioctl(IFF_DETACH_QUEUE) can run concurrently. Otherwise,     there would be a small race window: write() ioctl(IFF_DETACH_QUEUE) `- tun_get_user `- __tun_detach |- if     (tfile->detached) |- tun_disable_queue | `-> false | `- tfile->detached = tun | `- tun_queue_purge |-     spin_lock_bh(&queue->lock) `- __skb_queue_tail(queue, skb) Another solution is to call tun_queue_purge()     when closing and reattaching the detached queue, but it could paper over another problems. Also, we do the     same kind of test for IFF_NAPI_FRAGS.

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 ALAS2023-2023-228 advisory.

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

    binder: fix UAF of alloc->vma in race with munmap() (CVE-2022-50240)

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

    binder: fix UAF of alloc->vma in race with munmap() (CVE-2022-50338)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's networking subsystem within the RPL protocol's handling. This issue     results from the improper handling of user-supplied data, which can lead to an assertion failure. This     flaw allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to create a denial of service condition on the system.
    (CVE-2023-2156)

    A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux Kernel ipvlan network driver can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation.

    The out-of-bounds write is caused by missing skb->cb  initialization in the ipvlan network driver. The     vulnerability is reachable if CONFIG_IPVLAN is enabled.

    We recommend upgrading past commit 90cbed5247439a966b645b34eb0a2e037836ea8e. (CVE-2023-3090)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in vcs_read in drivers/tty/vt/vc_screen.c in vc_screen in the Linux     Kernel. In this flaw an attacker with local user access may lead to a system crash or a leak of internal     kernel information. (CVE-2023-3567)

    An issue was discovered in fl_set_geneve_opt in net/sched/cls_flower.c in the Linux kernel before 6.3.7.
    It allows an out-of-bounds write in the flower classifier code via TCA_FLOWER_KEY_ENC_OPTS_GENEVE packets.
    This may result in denial of service or privilege escalation. (CVE-2023-35788)
