A use-after-free flaw was found in the way curl handled TLS session data. The curl versions using the OpenSSL library as their TLS backend could use freed memory after TLS session renegotiation was performed by the OpenSSL library. A malicious TLS server could use this flaw to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a client application using the curl library.

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.17.5. iorwinitfile in fs/iouring.c lacks initialization of kiocb->private.

iouring use workflags to determine which identity need to grab from the calling process to make sure it is consistent with the calling process when executing IORINGOP. Some operations are missing some types, which can lead to incorrect reference counts which can then lead to a double free. We recommend upgrading the kernel past commit df3f3bb5059d20ef094d6b2f0256c4bf4127a859

A use-after-free in binder.c allows an elevation of privilege from an application to the Linux Kernel. No user interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability, however exploitation does require either the installation of a malicious local application or a separate vulnerability in a network facing application.Product: AndroidAndroid ID: A-141720095

A path traversal vulnerability exists in curl <8.0.0 SFTP implementation causes the tilde (~) character to be wrongly replaced when used as a prefix in the first path element in addition to its intended use as the first element to indicate a path relative to the user's home directory. Attackers can exploit this flaw to bypass filtering or execute arbitrary code by crafting a path like /~2/foo while accessing a server with a specific user.

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.

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 flaw was found in the Linux kernel. This flaw allows an attacker to crash the Linux kernel by simulating amateur radio from the user space, resulting in a null-ptr-deref vulnerability and a use-after-free vulnerability.

drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 5.16.8 mishandles dev->buf release.

A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in IPsec ESP transformation code in net/ipv4/esp4.c and net/ipv6/esp6.c. This flaw allows a local attacker with a normal user privilege to overwrite kernel heap objects and may cause a local privilege escalation threat.

There exists a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel through iouring and the IORINGOPSPLICE operation. If IORINGOPSPLICE is missing the IOWQWORKFILES flag, which signals that the operation won't use current->nsproxy, so its reference counter is not increased. This assumption is not always true as calling iosplice on specific files will call the getuts function which will use current->nsproxy leading to invalidly decreasing its reference counter later causing the use-after-free vulnerability. We recommend upgrading to version 5.10.160 or above

An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in fs/f2fs/node.c in the f2fs module in the Linux kernel in versions before 5.12.0-rc4. A bounds check failure 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.

libexpat could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by improper handling of XML external entity (XXE) declarations by the XMLExternalEntityParserCreate function. By using a specially crafted XML content, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.

Abnormal termination of an application can a cause a denial of service.

Applications performing certificate name checks (e.g., TLS clients checking server certificates) may attempt to read an invalid memory address when comparing the expected name with an otherName subject alternative name of an X.509 certificate. This may result in an exception that terminates the application program.

Note that basic certificate chain validation (signatures, dates, ...) is not affected, the denial of service can occur only when the application also specifies an expected DNS name, Email address or IP address.

TLS servers rarely solicit client certificates, and even when they do, they generally don't perform a name check against a "reference identifier" (expected identity), but rather extract the presented identity after checking the certificate chain. So TLS servers are generally not affected and the severity of the issue is Moderate.

The FIPS modules in 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue. OpenSSL 1.1.1 and 1.0.2 are also not affected by this issue.

OpenSSL 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are vulnerable to this issue.

OpenSSL 3.3 users should upgrade to OpenSSL 3.3.2

OpenSSL 3.2 users should upgrade to OpenSSL 3.2.3

OpenSSL 3.1 users should upgrade to OpenSSL 3.1.7

OpenSSL 3.0 users should upgrade to OpenSSL 3.0.15

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 flaw in the Linux Kernel found. If unprivileged users can mount FUSE filesystems, then can trigger use after free (UAF) that reads of write() buffers, allowing theft of (partial) /etc/shadow hashes or any other data from filesystem.

FUSE allows the userspace filesystem to specify on FUSEOPEN whether the file should use the normal kernel pagecache for handling read()/write() or just send FUSEREAD/FUSEWRITE requests directly to the userspace filesystem (using the flag FOPENDIRECTIO in fuseopenout::openflags).

In FOPENDIRECTIO mode, fusefilewriteiter() calls fusedirectwriteiter(), which normally calls fusedirectio(), which then imports the write buffer with fusegetuserpages(), which uses iovitergetpages() to grab references to userspace pages instead of actually copying memory.

On the filesystem device side, these pages can then either be read to userspace (via fusedevread()), or splice()d over into a pipe using fusedevspliceread() as pipe buffers with &nostealpipebufops.

This is wrong because after fusedevdoread() unlocks the FUSE request, the userspace filesystem can mark the request as completed, causing write() to return. At that point, the write buffer may be reused for other purposes, and the userspace filesystem should no longer have access to it.

A flaw in Linux Kernel found in nfcmrvlnciunregisterdev() in drivers/nfc/nfcmrvl/main.c can lead to use after free both read or write when non synchronized between cleanup routine and firmware download routine.

Guest triggered use-after-free in Linux xen-netback A malicious or buggy network PV frontend can force Linux netback to disable the interface and terminate the receive kernel thread associated with queue 0 in response to the frontend sending a malformed packet. Such kernel thread termination will lead to a use-after-free in Linux netback when the backend is destroyed, as the kernel thread associated with queue 0 will have already exited and thus the call to kthreadstop will be performed against a stale pointer.

An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory write flaw was found in the NFSD in the Linux kernel. Missing sanity may lead to a write beyond bmval[bmlen-1] in nfsd4decodebitmap4 in fs/nfsd/nfs4xdr.c.

In this flaw, a local attacker with user privilege may gain access to out-of-bounds memory, and write leading to a system integrity and confidentiality threat.

A use-after-free in the function l2capreassemblesdu of the file net/bluetooth/l2capcore.c of the component Bluetooth in Linux Kernel could allow a remote authenticated attacker from within the local network to cause an unknown impact.

A random memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's GPU i915 kernel driver functionality in the way a user may run malicious code on the GPU. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system.

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's Netfilter subsystem in net/netfilter/nftablesapi.c. This flaw allows a local attacker with user access to cause a privilege escalation issue.

A flaw was discovered in processing setsockopt IPTSOSETREPLACE (or IP6TSOSETREPLACE) for 32 bit processes on 64 bit systems. This flaw will allow local user to gain privileges or cause a DoS through user name space. This action is usually restricted to root-privileged users but can also be leveraged if the kernel is compiled with CONFIGUSERNS and CONFIGNETNS and the user is granted elevated privileges.
