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.

A flaw was found in btrfsgetrootref in fs/btrfs/disk-io.c in the btrfs filesystem in the Linux Kernel due to a double decrement of the reference count. This issue may allow a local attacker with user privilege to crash the system or may lead to leaked internal kernel information.

A time-of-check to time-of-use issue exists in iouring subsystem's IORINGOPCLOSE operation in the Linux kernel's versions 5.6 - 5.11 (inclusive), which allows a local user to elevate their privileges to root. Introduced in b5dba59e0cf7e2cc4d3b3b1ac5fe81ddf21959eb, patched in 9eac1904d3364254d622bf2c771c4f85cd435fc2, backported to stable in 788d0824269bef539fe31a785b1517882eafed93.

A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's RxRPC network protocol, within the processing of RxRPC bundles. This issue results from the lack of proper locking when performing operations on an object. This may allow an attacker to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of the kernel.

A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel Xircom 16-bit PCMCIA (PC-card) Ethernet driver was found.A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

In the Linux kernel, picknextrtentity() may return a type confused entry, not detected by the BUGON condition, as the confused entry will not be NULL, but listhead.The buggy error condition would lead to a type confused entry with the list head,which would then be used as a type confused schedrtentity,causing memory corruption.

A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel in RDS (Reliable Datagram Sockets) protocol. The rdsrmzerocopycallback() uses listentry() on the head of a list causing a type confusion. Local user can trigger this with rdsmessageput(). Type confusion leads to struct rdsmsgzcopyinfo info actually points to something else that is potentially controlled by local user. It is known how to trigger this, which causes an out of bounds access, and a lock corruption.

A use-after-free flaw was found in Linux kernel before 5.19.2. This issue occurs in cmdhdlfilter in drivers/staging/rtl8712/rtl8712cmd.c, allowing an attacker to launch a local denial of service attack and gain escalation of privileges.

In the Linux kernel 6.0.8, there is an out-of-bounds read in ntfsattrfind in fs/ntfs/attrib.c.

In rndisqueryoid in drivers/net/wireless/rndiswlan.c in the Linux kernel through 6.1.5, there is an integer overflow in an addition.

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.0.11. Missing validation of the number of channels in drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/cfg80211.c in the WILC1000 wireless driver can trigger a heap-based buffer overflow when copying the list of operating channels from Wi-Fi management frames.

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.0.11. Missing validation of IEEE80211P2PATTRCHANNELLIST in drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/cfg80211.c in the WILC1000 wireless driver can trigger a heap-based buffer overflow when parsing the operating channel attribute from Wi-Fi management frames.

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.0.11. Missing validation of IEEE80211P2PATTROPERCHANNEL in drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/cfg80211.c in the WILC1000 wireless driver can trigger an out-of-bounds write when parsing the channel list attribute from Wi-Fi management frames.

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.0.11. Missing offset validation in drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/hif.c in the WILC1000 wireless driver can trigger an out-of-bounds read when parsing a Robust Security Network (RSN) information element from a Netlink packet.

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel. It has been classified as problematic. Affected is the function nilfsnewinode of the file fs/nilfs2/inode.c of the component BPF. The manipulation leads to use after free. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-211992.

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Linux Kernel. Affected by this issue is the function tsttimer of the file drivers/atm/idt77252.c of the component IPsec. The manipulation leads to use after free. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. VDB-211934 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability.

An out-of-bounds memory write flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s Kid-friendly Wired Controller driver. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. It is in bigbenprobe of drivers/hid/hid-bigbenff.c. The reason is incorrect assumption - bigben devices all have inputs. However, malicious devices can break this assumption, leaking to out-of-bound write.

A NULL pointer dereference flaw in diFree in fs/jfs/inode.c in Journaled File System (JFS)in the Linux kernel. This could allow a local attacker to crash the system or leak kernel internal information.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel implementation of proxied virtualized TPM devices. On a system where virtualized TPM devices are configured (this is not the default) a local attacker can create a use-after-free and create a situation where it may be possible to escalate privileges on the system.

A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel NILFS file system was found in the way user triggers function securityinodealloc to fail with following call to function nilfsmdtdestroy. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

A flaw was found in the x86 KVM subsystem in kvmstealtimesetpreempted in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the Linux kernel. Unprivileged guest users can compromise the guest kernel because TLB flush operations are mishandled in certain KVMVCPUPREEMPTED situations.

An integer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s virtio device driver code in the way a user triggers the vhostvdpaconfigvalidate function. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in rxrpcpreparses in net/rxrpc/serverkey.c in the Linux kernel. This flaw allows a local attacker to crash the system or leak internal kernel information.

In drivers/usb/gadget/udc/udc-xilinx.c in the Linux kernel before 5.16.12, the endpoint index is not validated and might be manipulated by the host for out-of-array access.

An unprivileged write to the file handler flaw in the Linux kernel's control groups and namespaces subsystem was found in the way users have access to some less privileged process that are controlled by cgroups and have higher privileged parent process. It is actually both for cgroup2 and cgroup1 versions of control groups. A 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 in NFC stack (protocol) that is UAF vulnerability of ndev->rfconninfo object.

A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s Bluetooth subsystem in the way user calls connect to the socket and disconnect simultaneously due to a race condition. This flaw allows a user to crash the system or escalate their privileges. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.
