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.

An unprivileged local attacker can trigger a use-after-free vulnerability in accountsservice by sending a D-Bus message to the accounts-daemon process.

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.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, where unauthorized access to the execution of the setuid file with capabilities was found in the Linux kernel’s OverlayFS subsystem in how a user copies a capable file from a nosuid mount into another mount. This uid mapping bug allows a local user to escalate their privileges on the system.

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.

Joplin version 2.8.8 allows an external attacker to execute arbitrary commands remotely on any client that opens a link in a malicious markdown file, via Joplin. This is possible because the application does not properly validate the schema/protocol of existing links in the markdown file before passing them to the 'shell.openExternal' function.

BlueZ before 5.59 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service because malformed and invalid capabilities can be processed in profiles/audio/avdtp.c.

BlueZ before 5.59 allows physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information because profiles/audio/avrcp.c does not validate paramslen.

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 the Linux kernel’s POSIX CPU timers functionality in the way a user creates and then deletes the timer in the non-leader thread of the program. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

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 race condition existed in the snapd 2.54.2 snap-confine binary when preparing a private mount namespace for a snap. This could allow a local attacker to gain root privileges by bind-mounting their own contents inside the snap's private mount namespace and causing snap-confine to execute arbitrary code and hence gain privilege escalation. Fixed in snapd versions 2.54.3+18.04, 2.54.3+20.04 and 2.54.3+21.10.1

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 flaw was found in the KVM's AMD code for supporting the Secure Encrypted Virtualization-Encrypted State (SEV-ES). A KVM guest using SEV-ES can trigger out-of-bounds reads and writes in the host kernel via a malicious VMGEXIT for a string I/O instruction (for example, outs or ins) using the exit reason SVMEXITIOIO. This issue results in a crash of the entire system or a potential guest-to-host escape scenario.

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.
