A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s KVM implementation, where improper handing of the VMIO|VMPFNMAP VMAs in KVM bypasses RO checks and leads to pages being freed while still accessible by the VMM and guest. This flaw allows users who can start and control a VM to read/write random pages of memory, resulting in local privilege escalation. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, and system availability.

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.

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 flaw was found in the Linux kernel in NFC stack (protocol) that is UAF vulnerability of ndev->rfconninfo object.

An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in nftfwddupnetdevoffload in net/netfilter/nfdupnetdev.c in netfilter subcomponent in the Linux kernel due to a heap out of bounds write problem. In this flaw, an attacker with a user account on the system to gain access to out-of-bounds memory leads to a system crash or a privilege escalation threat.

A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel Management Component Transport Protocol (MCTP) subsystem was found in the way user triggers cancelworksync after the unregisternetdev during removing device. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system. It is actual from Linux Kernel 5.17-rc1 (when mctp-serial.c introduced) till 5.17-rc5.

kernel/ucount.c in the Linux kernel 5.14 through 5.16.4, when unprivileged user namespaces are enabled, allows a use-after-free and privilege escalation because a ucounts object can outlive its namespace.

An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory write flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s watchqueue event notification subsystem. This flaw can overwrite parts of the kernel state, potentially allowing a local user to gain privileged access or cause a denial of service on the system.

A use-after-free flaw was found in the Expat package, caused by destruction of a shared DTD in XMLExternalEntityParserCreate in out-of-memory situations. This may lead to availability disruptions.

When the vulnerability is triggered the BIND process will exit. BIND 9.18.0

Versions affected: BIND 9.18.0 When a vulnerable version of named receives a series of specific queries, the named process will eventually terminate due to a failed assertion check.

A use-after-free exists in drivers/tee/teeshm.c in the TEE subsystem in the Linux kernel through 5.15.11. This occurs because of a race condition in teeshmgetfromid during an attempt to free a shared memory object.

A vulnerability was found in pfkeyregister in net/key/afkey.c in the Linux kernel. In this flaw, a local unprivileged user may gain access to kernel memory, leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information.

An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory read flaw was found in the Qualcomm IPC router protocol in the Linux kernel. A missing sanity check allows a local attacker to gain access to out-of-bounds memory, leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in btrfsrmdevice function in fs/btrfs/volumes.c in Linux Kernel, where triggering the bug requires ‘CAPSYSADMIN’. This could allow a local attacker to crash the system or leak kernel internal information.

A use-after-free flaw was found in btsdioremove in drivers\bluetooth\btsdio.c in the Linux Kernel. In this flaw, a call to btsdioremove with an unfinished job, may cause a race condition, and lead to a UAF problem on the hdev devices.

This bug has been submitted to upstream and got fixed in [1] and [2]

A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s sound subsystem in the way a user triggers concurrent calls of PCM hwparams. The hwfree ioctls or similar race condition happens inside ALSA PCM for other ioctls. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

dotlsgetsockopt in net/tls/tlsmain.c in the Linux kernel through 6.2.6 lacks a locksock call, leading to a race condition (with a resultant use-after-free or NULL pointer dereference).

A cache poisoning vulnerability was found in BIND when using forwarders. Bogus NS records supplied by the forwarders may be cached and used by name if it needs to recurse for any reason. This issue causes it to obtain and pass on potentially incorrect answers. This flaw allows a remote high privileged attacker to manipulate cache results with incorrect records, leading to queries made to the wrong servers, possibly resulting in false information received on the client's end.

A TCP/IP packet spoofing attack flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s TCP/IP protocol, where a Man-in-the-Middle Attack (MITM) performs an IP fragmentation attack and an IPID collision. This flaw allows a remote user to pretend to be the sender of the TCP/IP packet for an existing TCP/IP session.

A flaw was found in Bind that incorrectly handles certain crafted TCP streams. The vulnerability allows TCP connection slots to be consumed for an indefinite time frame via a specifically crafted TCP stream sent from a client. This flaw allows a remote attacker to send specially crafted TCP streams with 'keep-response-order' enabled that could cause connections to BIND to remain in CLOSEWAIT status for an indefinite period, even after the client has terminated the connection. This issue results in BIND consuming resources, leading to a denial of service.

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel. The Zr364xx USB device driver is susceptible to malicious USB devices. An attacker able to add a specific USB device could cause a crash leading to a denial of service.

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.1.17. There is a NULL pointer dereference caused by a malicious USB device in the sound/usb/line6/pcm.c driver.
