    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that     may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information     leaks.

    CVE-2023-1380

        Jisoo Jang reported a heap out-of-bounds read in the brcmfmac         Wi-Fi driver.  On systems using this driver, a local user could         exploit this to read sensitive information or to cause a denial of         service (crash).

    CVE-2023-2002

        Ruiahn Li reported an incorrect permissions check in the Bluetooth         subsystem.  A local user could exploit this to reconfigure local         Bluetooth interfaces, resulting in information leaks, spoofing, or         denial of service (loss of connection).

    CVE-2023-2007

        Lucas Leong (@_wmliang_) and Reno Robert of Trend Micro Zero Day         Initiative discovered a time-of-check-to-time-of-use flaw in the         dpt_i2o SCSI controller driver.  A local user with access to a         SCSI device using this driver could exploit this for privilege         escalation.

        This flaw has been mitigated by removing support for the I2OUSRCMD         operation.

    CVE-2023-2269

        Zheng Zhang reported that improper handling of locking in the         device mapper implementation may result in denial of service.

    CVE-2023-3090

        It was discovered that missing initialization in ipvlan networking         may lead to an out-of-bounds write vulnerability, resulting in         denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code.

    CVE-2023-3111

        The TOTE Robot tool found a flaw in the Btrfs filesystem driver         that can lead to a use-after-free.  It's unclear whether an         unprivileged user can exploit this.

    CVE-2023-3141

        A flaw was discovered in the r592 memstick driver that could lead         to a use-after-free after the driver is removed or unbound from a         device.  The security impact of this is unclear.

    CVE-2023-3268

        It was discovered that an out-of-bounds memory access in relayfs         could result in denial of service or an information leak.

    CVE-2023-3338

        Ornaghi Davide discovered a flaw in the DECnet protocol         implementation which could lead to a null pointer dereference or         use-after-free.  A local user can exploit this to cause a denial         of service (crash or memory corruption) and probably for privilege         escalation.

        This flaw has been mitigated by removing the DECnet protocol         implementation.

    CVE-2023-20593

        Tavis Ormandy discovered that under specific microarchitectural         circumstances, a vector register in AMD Zen 2 CPUs may not be         written to 0 correctly.  This flaw allows an attacker to leak         sensitive information across concurrent processes, hyper threads         and virtualized guests.

        For details please refer to         <https://lock.cmpxchg8b.com/zenbleed.html> and         <https://github.com/google/security-research/security/advisories/GHSA-v6wh-rxpg-cmm8>.

        This issue can also be mitigated by a microcode update through the         amd64-microcode package or a system firmware (BIOS/UEFI) update.
        However, the initial microcode release by AMD only provides         updates for second generation EPYC CPUs.  Various Ryzen CPUs are         also affected, but no updates are available yet.

    CVE-2023-31084

        It was discovered that the DVB Core driver does not properly         handle locking of certain events, allowing a local user to cause a         denial of service.

    CVE-2023-32233

        Patryk Sondej and Piotr Krysiuk discovered a use-after-free flaw         in the Netfilter nf_tables implementation when processing batch         requests, which may result in local privilege escalation for a         user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability in any user or network         namespace.

    CVE-2023-34256

        The syzbot tool found a time-of-check-to-time-of-use flaw in the         ext4 filesystem driver.  An attacker able to mount a disk image or         device that they can also write to directly could exploit this to         cause an out-of-bounds read, possibly resulting in a leak of         sensitive information or denial of service (crash).

    CVE-2023-35788

        Hangyu Hua discovered an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the         Flower classifier which may result in denial of service or the         execution of arbitrary code.

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:2653-1 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)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.9. drivers/media/dvb-core/dvbdev.c has a use-     after-free, related to dvb_register_device dynamically allocating fops. (CVE-2022-45884)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.9. drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_frontend.c has a     race condition that can cause a use-after-free when a device is disconnected. (CVE-2022-45885)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.9. drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_net.c has a     .disconnect versus dvb_device_open race condition that leads to a use-after-free. (CVE-2022-45886)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.9. drivers/media/usb/ttusb-dec/ttusb_dec.c has a     memory leak because of the lack of a dvb_frontend_detach call. (CVE-2022-45887)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.10. In drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_ca_en50221.c, a     use-after-free can occur is there is a disconnect after an open, because of the lack of a wait_event.
    (CVE-2022-45919)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A use-after-free may be triggered in asus_kbd_backlight_set when     plugging/disconnecting in a malicious USB device, which advertises itself as an Asus device. Similarly to     the previous known CVE-2023-25012, but in asus devices, the work_struct may be scheduled by the LED     controller while the device is disconnecting, triggering a use-after-free on the struct asus_kbd_leds *led     structure. A malicious USB device may exploit the issue to cause memory corruption with controlled data.
    (CVE-2023-1079)

  - A slab-out-of-bound read problem was found in brcmf_get_assoc_ies in     drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c in the Linux Kernel. This issue could occur     when assoc_info->req_len data is bigger than the size of the buffer, defined as WL_EXTRA_BUF_MAX, leading     to a denial of service. (CVE-2023-1380)

  - A data race flaw was found in the Linux kernel, between where con is allocated and con->sock is set. This     issue leads to a NULL pointer dereference when accessing con->sock->sk in net/tipc/topsrv.c in the tipc     protocol in the Linux kernel. (CVE-2023-1382)

  - A vulnerability was found in the HCI sockets implementation due to a missing capability check in     net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c in the Linux Kernel. This flaw allows an attacker to unauthorized execution of     management commands, compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Bluetooth     communication. (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)

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

  - 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 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)

  - 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)

  - Improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer in some Intel(R) i915 Graphics     drivers for linux before kernel version 6.2.10 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable     escalation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2023-28410)

  - A known cache speculation vulnerability, known as Branch History Injection (BHI) or Spectre-BHB, becomes     actual again for the new hw AmpereOne. Spectre-BHB is similar to Spectre v2, except that malicious code     uses the shared branch history (stored in the CPU Branch History Buffer, or BHB) to influence mispredicted     branches within the victim's hardware context. Once that occurs, speculation caused by the mispredicted     branches can cause cache allocation. This issue leads to obtaining information that should not be     accessible. (CVE-2023-3006)

  - 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)

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_frontend.c in the Linux kernel 6.2. There is a     blocking operation when a task is in !TASK_RUNNING. In dvb_frontend_get_event, wait_event_interruptible is     called; the condition is dvb_frontend_test_event(fepriv,events). In dvb_frontend_test_event,     down(&fepriv->sem) is called. However, wait_event_interruptible would put the process to sleep, and     down(&fepriv->sem) may block the process. (CVE-2023-31084)

  - 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)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.2.9. A use-after-free was found in bq24190_remove in     drivers/power/supply/bq24190_charger.c. It could allow a local attacker to crash the system due to a race     condition. (CVE-2023-33288)

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

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5480 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered the x86 KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 5.18.17. Unprivileged guest users     can compromise the guest kernel because TLB flush operations are mishandled in certain KVM_VCPU_PREEMPTED     situations. (CVE-2022-39189)

  - 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 hash collision flaw was found in the IPv6 connection lookup table in the Linux kernel's IPv6     functionality when a user makes a new kind of SYN flood attack. A user located in the local network or     with a high bandwidth connection can increase the CPU usage of the server that accepts IPV6 connections up     to 95%. (CVE-2023-1206)

  - A slab-out-of-bound read problem was found in brcmf_get_assoc_ies in     drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c in the Linux Kernel. This issue could occur     when assoc_info->req_len data is bigger than the size of the buffer, defined as WL_EXTRA_BUF_MAX, leading     to a denial of service. (CVE-2023-1380)

  - A vulnerability was found in the HCI sockets implementation due to a missing capability check in     net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c in the Linux Kernel. This flaw allows an attacker to unauthorized execution of     management commands, compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Bluetooth     communication. (CVE-2023-2002)

  - The specific flaw exists within the DPT I2O Controller driver. The issue results from the lack of proper     locking when performing operations on an object. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other     vulnerabilities to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of the kernel.
    (CVE-2023-2007)

  - A division-by-zero error on some AMD processors can potentially return speculative data resulting in loss     of confidentiality. (CVE-2023-20588)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - In multiple functions of io_uring.c, there is a possible kernel memory corruption due to improper locking.
    This could lead to local escalation of privilege in the kernel with System execution privileges needed.
    User interaction is not needed for exploitation. (CVE-2023-21400)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_frontend.c in the Linux kernel 6.2. There is a     blocking operation when a task is in !TASK_RUNNING. In dvb_frontend_get_event, wait_event_interruptible is     called; the condition is dvb_frontend_test_event(fepriv,events). In dvb_frontend_test_event,     down(&fepriv->sem) is called. However, wait_event_interruptible would put the process to sleep, and     down(&fepriv->sem) may block the process. (CVE-2023-31084)

  - A use after free vulnerability was found in prepare_to_relocate in fs/btrfs/relocation.c in btrfs in the     Linux Kernel. This possible flaw can be triggered by calling btrfs_ioctl_balance() before calling     btrfs_ioctl_defrag(). (CVE-2023-3111)

  - A NULL pointer dereference issue was found in the gfs2 file system in the Linux kernel. It occurs on     corrupt gfs2 file systems when the evict code tries to reference the journal descriptor structure after it     has been freed and set to NULL. A privileged local user could use this flaw to cause a kernel panic.
    (CVE-2023-3212)

  - An out of bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel in relay_file_read_start_pos in     kernel/relay.c in the relayfs. This flaw could allow a local attacker to crash the system or leak kernel     internal information. (CVE-2023-3268)

  - A null pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's DECnet networking protocol. This issue     could allow a remote user to crash the system. (CVE-2023-3338)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel io_uring subsystem can be exploited to achieve local     privilege escalation. Racing a io_uring cancel poll request with a linked timeout can cause a UAF in a     hrtimer. We recommend upgrading past commit ef7dfac51d8ed961b742218f526bd589f3900a59     (4716c73b188566865bdd79c3a6709696a224ac04 for 5.10 stable and 0e388fce7aec40992eadee654193cad345d62663 for     5.15 stable). (CVE-2023-3389)

  - 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)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: cls_u32 component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. If tcf_change_indev() fails, u32_set_parms() will immediately return     an error after incrementing or decrementing the reference counter in tcf_bind_filter(). If an attacker can     control the reference counter and set it to zero, they can cause the reference to be freed, leading to a     use-after-free vulnerability. We recommend upgrading past commit 04c55383fa5689357bcdd2c8036725a55ed632bc.
    (CVE-2023-3609)

  - An out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_qfq component can be exploited     to achieve local privilege escalation. The qfq_change_agg() function in net/sched/sch_qfq.c allows an out-     of-bounds write because lmax is updated according to packet sizes without bounds checks. We recommend     upgrading past commit 3e337087c3b5805fe0b8a46ba622a962880b5d64. (CVE-2023-3611)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: cls_fw component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. If tcf_change_indev() fails, fw_set_parms() will immediately return an     error after incrementing or decrementing the reference counter in tcf_bind_filter(). If an attacker can     control the reference counter and set it to zero, they can cause the reference to be freed, leading to a     use-after-free vulnerability. We recommend upgrading past commit 0323bce598eea038714f941ce2b22541c46d488f.
    (CVE-2023-3776)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in nfc_llcp_find_local in net/nfc/llcp_core.c in NFC in the Linux kernel.
    This flaw allows a local user with special privileges to impact a kernel information leak issue.
    (CVE-2023-3863)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter in the way a user triggers the     nft_pipapo_remove function with the element, without a NFT_SET_EXT_KEY_END. This issue could allow a local     user to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-4004)

  - An issue was discovered in l2cap_sock_release in net/bluetooth/l2cap_sock.c in the Linux kernel before     6.4.10. There is a use-after-free because the children of an sk are mishandled. (CVE-2023-40283)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in net/sched/cls_fw.c in classifiers (cls_fw, cls_u32, and cls_route) in     the Linux Kernel. This flaw allows a local attacker to perform a local privilege escalation due to     incorrect handling of the existing filter, leading to a kernel information leak issue. (CVE-2023-4128)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the siano smsusb module in the Linux kernel. The bug occurs     during device initialization when the siano device is plugged in. This flaw allows a local user to crash     the system, causing a denial of service condition. (CVE-2023-4132)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Netfilter functionality when adding a rule with     NFTA_RULE_CHAIN_ID. This flaw allows a local user to crash or escalate their privileges on the system.
    (CVE-2023-4147)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TUN/TAP functionality. This issue could allow a local user to     bypass network filters and gain unauthorized access to some resources. The original patches fixing     CVE-2023-1076 are incorrect or incomplete. The problem is that the following upstream commits -     a096ccca6e50 (tun: tun_chr_open(): correctly initialize socket uid), - 66b2c338adce (tap: tap_open():
    correctly initialize socket uid), pass inode->i_uid to sock_init_data_uid() as the last parameter and     that turns out to not be accurate. (CVE-2023-4194)

  - A flaw was found in the exFAT driver of the Linux kernel. The vulnerability exists in the implementation     of the file name reconstruction function, which is responsible for reading file name entries from a     directory index and merging file name parts belonging to one file into a single long file name. Since the     file name characters are copied into a stack variable, a local privileged attacker could use this flaw to     overflow the kernel stack. (CVE-2023-4273)

  - XSA-432 xen: Buffer overrun in netback due to unusual packet [fedora-all] (CVE-2023-34319)
