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

The function nftpipapowalk did not skip inactive elements during set walk which could lead double deactivations of PIPAPO (Pile Packet Policies) elements, leading to use-after-free.

We recommend upgrading past commit 317eb9685095678f2c9f5a8189de698c5354316a.

A flaw in the Linux Kernel found. When splice() is called with a ktls socket as destination, the ktls code fails to update the internal "curr"/"copybreak" accounting that tracks which parts of the plaintext scatter-gather buffer (struct skmsgsg) are unused writable memory. This can cause subsequent writes to the socket to overwrite the contents of spliced pages, including pages from files to which the caller is not supposed to have write access.

Race Condition
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.5.9 exploitable by local users with userspace access to MMIO registers. Incorrect access checking in the #VC handler and instruction emulation of the SEV-ES emulation of MMIO accesses could lead to arbitrary write access to kernel memory (and thus privilege escalation). This depends on a race condition through which userspace can replace an instruction before the #VC handler reads it.

A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: schhfsc (HFSC qdisc traffic control) component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.

If a class with a link-sharing curve (i.e. with the HFSCFSC flag set) has a parent without a link-sharing curve, then initvf() will call vttreeinsert() on the parent, but vttreeremove() will be skipped in updatevf(). This leaves a dangling pointer that can cause a use-after-free.

A vulnerability was found in libX11. The security flaw occurs because the functions in src/InitExt.c in libX11 do not check that the values provided for the Request, Event, or Error IDs are within the bounds of the arrays that those functions write to, using those IDs as array indexes. They trust that they were called with values provided by an Xserver adhering to the bounds specified in the X11 protocol, as all X servers provided by X.Org do. As the protocol only specifies a single byte for these values, an out-of-bounds value provided by a malicious server (or a malicious proxy-in-the-middle) can only overwrite other portions of the Display structure and not write outside the bounds of the Display structure itself, possibly causing the client to crash with this memory corruption.

The qfqchangeclass function does not properly limit the lmax variable which can lead to out-of-bounds read/write. If the TCAQFQLMAX value is not offered through nlattr, lmax is determined by the MTU value of the network device.
