  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ACPICA: Fix error code path in     acpi_ds_call_control_method() A use-after-free in acpi_ps_parse_aml() after a failing invocaion of     acpi_ds_call_control_method() is reported by KASAN [1] and code inspection reveals that next_walk_state     pushed to the thread by acpi_ds_create_walk_state() is freed on errors, but it is not popped from the     thread beforehand. Thus acpi_ds_get_current_walk_state() called by acpi_ps_parse_aml() subsequently     returns it as the new walk state which is incorrect. To address this, make acpi_ds_call_control_method()     call acpi_ds_pop_walk_state() to pop next_walk_state from the thread before returning an error.

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 ALAS2023-2023-138 advisory.

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

    drm: Fix potential null-ptr-deref due to drmm_mode_config_init() (CVE-2022-50556)

    A double-free vulnerability was found in the handling of IORING_OP_SOCKET operation with io_uring on the     Linux kernel. (CVE-2023-1032)

    Due to a type confusion during initializations, the tun and tap sockets in the Linux Kernel have their     socket UID hardcoded to 0, i.e. root. While it will be often correct, as TUN/TAP devices require     CAP_NET_ADMIN, it may not always be the case. The socket UID may be used for network filtering and     routing, thus TUN/TAP sockets may be incorrectly managed, potentially bypassing network filters based on     UID. (CVE-2023-1076)

    kernel: Type confusion in pick_next_rt_entity(), which can result in memory corruption. (CVE-2023-1077)

    A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel integrated infrared receiver/transceiver driver was found in the     way user detaching rc device. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate     their privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-1118)

    A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel traffic control index filter (tcindex) can be exploited     to achieve local privilege escalation. The tcindex_delete function which does not properly deactivate     filters in case of a perfect hashes while deleting the underlying structure which can later lead to double     freeing the structure. A local attacker user can use this vulnerability to elevate its privileges to     root.We recommend upgrading past commit 8c710f75256bb3cf05ac7b1672c82b92c43f3d28. (CVE-2023-1829)

    When plain IBRS is enabled (not enhanced IBRS), the logic in spectre_v2_user_select_mitigation()     determines that STIBP is not needed. The IBRS bit implicitly protects against cross-thread branch     targetinjection. However, with legacy IBRS, the IBRS bit is cleared on returning to userspace for     performance reasons which leaves userspace threads vulnerable to cross-thread branch target injection     against which STIBP protects. (CVE-2023-1998)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in hfsplus_put_super in fs/hfsplus/super.c in the Linux Kernel. This flaw     could allow a local user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-2985)

    An issue was discovered in lib/kobject.c in the Linux kernel before 6.2.3. With root access, an attacker     can trigger a race condition that results in a fill_kobj_path out-of-bounds write. (CVE-2023-45863)
