CVE-2023-4206

A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: clsroute component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. When route4change() is called on an existing filter, the whole tcfresult struct is always copied into the new instance of the filter. This causes a problem when updating a filter bound to a class, as tcfunbindfilter() is always called on the old instance in the success path, decreasing filtercnt of the still referenced class and allowing it to be deleted, leading to a use-after-free. We recommend upgrading past commit b80b829e9e2c1b3f7aae34855e04d8f6ecaf13c8. CVE-2023-4207 A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: clsfw component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. When fwchange() is called on an existing filter, the whole tcfresult struct is always copied into the new instance of the filter. This causes a problem when updating a filter bound to a class, as tcfunbindfilter() is always called on the old instance in the success path, decreasing filtercnt of the still referenced class and allowing it to be deleted, leading to a use-after-free. We recommend upgrading past commit 76e42ae831991c828cffa8c37736ebfb831ad5ec. CVE-2023-4208 A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: clsu32 component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. When u32change() is called on an existing filter, the whole tcfresult struct is always copied into the new instance of the filter. This causes a problem when updating a filter bound to a class, as tcfunbindfilter() is always called on the old instance in the success path, decreasing filtercnt of the still referenced class and allowing it to be deleted, leading to a use-after-free. We recommend upgrading past commit 3044b16e7c6fe5d24b1cdbcf1bd0a9d92d1ebd81.
