A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nftables component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.

When nftablesdelrule() is flushing table rules, it is not checked whether the chain is bound and the chain's owner rule can also release the objects in certain circumstances.

We recommend upgrading past commit 6eaf41e87a223ae6f8e7a28d6e78384ad7e407f8.

An issue was discovered in l2capsockrelease in net/bluetooth/l2capsock.c in the Linux kernel before 6.4.10. There is a use-after-free because the children of an sk are mishandled.

A use-after-free flaw was found in vcsread in drivers/tty/vt/vcscreen.c in vcscreen in the Linux Kernel. In this flaw an attacker with local user access may ead to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information.

A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel iouring subsystem can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.

Racing a iouring 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).

An issue was discovered in flsetgeneveopt in net/sched/clsflower.c in the Linux kernel before 6.3.7. It allows an out-of-bounds write in the flower classifier code via TCAFLOWERKEYENCOPTSGENEVE packets. This may result in denial of service or privilege escalation.

A slab-out-of-bound read problem was found in brcmfgetassocies in drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c in the Linux Kernel. This issue could occur when associnfo->reqlen data is bigger than the size of the buffer, defined as WLEXTRABUFMAX, leading to a denial of service.

A buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the Netfilter subsystem in the Linux Kernel. This issue could allow the leakage of both stack and heap addresses, and potentially allow Local Privilege Escalation to the root user via arbitrary code execution.

strongSwan before 5.9.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service in the revocation plugin by sending a crafted end-entity (and intermediate CA) certificate that contains a CRL/OCSP URL that points to a server (under the attacker's control) that doesn't properly respond but (for example) just does nothing after the initial TCP handshake, or sends an excessive amount of application data.

A use-after-free flaw was found in nftables cross-table in the net/netfilter/nftablesapi.c function in the Linux kernel. This flaw allows a local, privileged attacker to cause a use-after-free problem at the time of table deletion, possibly leading to local privilege escalation.

A use-after-free flaw was found in route4change in the net/sched/clsroute.c filter implementation in the Linux kernel. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system and possibly lead to a local privilege escalation problem.

A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s Netfilter subsystem in the way a user provides incorrect input of the NFTDATAVERDICT type. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

A use-after-free flaw was found in u32change in net/sched/clsu32.c in the network subcomponent of the Linux kernel. This flaw could allow a local attacker to crash the system and cause a privilege escalation, and a kernel information leak problem.

A vulnerability was found in cgroupreleaseagentwrite in kernel/cgroup/cgroup-v1.c in the Linux kernel. In this flaw, under certain circumstances, the cgroups v1 releaseagent feature can be used to escalate privilege and bypass namespace isolation unexpectedly.

A use-after-free exists in the Linux Kernel in tcnewtfilter that could allow a local attacker to gain privilege escalation. The exploit requires unprivileged user namespaces. We recommend upgrading past commit 04c2a47ffb13c29778e2a14e414ad4cb5a5db4b5

A Local Privilege Escalation vulnerability (from any user to root) was found in polkit's pkexec, a SUID-root program that is installed by default on every major Linux distribution.

A flaw was found in python. An improperly handled HTTP response in the HTTP client code of python may allow a remote attacker, who controls the HTTP server, to make the client script enter an infinite loop, consuming CPU time. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

A flaw use-after-free in function scosocksendmsg() of the Linux kernel HCI subsystem was found in the way user calls ioct UFFDIOREGISTER or other way triggers race condition of the call scoconndel() together with the call scosocksendmsg() with the expected controllable faulting memory page. A privileged local user could use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. An out-of-bounds read was discovered in the libiscsi module that could lead to reading kernel memory or a crash. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality as well as system availability.

A flaw was found in the NFSv4 implementation where when mounting a remote attacker controlled server it could return specially crafted response allow for local memory corruption and possibly privilege escalation.

In BIND 9.10.0 -> 9.11.21, 9.12.0 -> 9.16.5, 9.17.0 -> 9.17.3, also affects 9.10.5-S1 -> 9.11.21-S1 of the BIND 9 Supported Preview Edition, An attacker that can reach a vulnerable system with a specially crafted query packet can trigger a crash. To be vulnerable, the system must: be running BIND that was built with "--enable-native-pkcs11" be signing one or more zones with an RSA key be able to receive queries from a possible attacker

In BIND 9.14.0 -> 9.16.5, 9.17.0 -> 9.17.3, If a server is configured with both QNAME minimization and 'forward first' then an attacker who can send queries to it may be able to trigger the condition that will cause the server to crash. Servers that 'forward only' are not affected.

In BIND 9.15.6 -> 9.16.5, 9.17.0 -> 9.17.3, An attacker who can establish a TCP connection with the server and send data on that connection can exploit this to trigger the assertion failure, causing the server to exit.
