  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mptcp: fix UaF in listener shutdown As     reported by Christoph after having refactored the passive socket initialization, the mptcp listener     shutdown path is prone to an UaF issue.

Just drop the now unnecessary     code. Please note this commit depends on the two parent ones: mptcp: refactor passive socket     initialization mptcp: use the workqueue to destroy unaccepted sockets (CVE-2023-53088)

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)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in btrfs_search_slot in fs/btrfs/ctree.c in btrfs in the Linux Kernel.This     flaw allows an attacker to crash the system and possibly cause a kernel information lea (CVE-2023-1611)

    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)

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

    dm stats: check for and propagate alloc_percpu failure (CVE-2023-53044)

    dm crypt: add cond_resched() to dmcrypt_write() (CVE-2023-53051)

    erspan: do not use skb_mac_header() in ndo_start_xmit() (CVE-2023-53053)

    fscrypt: destroy keyring after security_sb_delete() (CVE-2023-53055)

    perf/x86/amd/core: Always clear status for idx (CVE-2023-53073)

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

    xsk: Add missing overflow check in xdp_umem_reg (CVE-2023-53080)

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

    nfsd: don't replace page in rq_pages if it's a continuation of last page (CVE-2023-53083)

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

    mptcp: fix UaF in listener shutdown (CVE-2023-53088)

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

    tracing: Do not let histogram values have some modifiers (CVE-2023-53093)

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