    2023-08-31: CVE-2023-4387 was added to this advisory.

    An issue was discovered in fs/io_uring.c in the Linux kernel through 5.11.8. It allows attackers to cause     a denial of service (deadlock) because exit may be waiting to park a SQPOLL thread, but concurrently that     SQPOLL thread is waiting for a signal to start, aka CID-3ebba796fa25. (CVE-2021-28951)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of RDMA over infiniband. An attacker with a     privileged local account can leak kernel stack information when issuing commands to the     /dev/infiniband/rdma_cm device node. While this access is unlikely to leak sensitive user information, it     can be further used to defeat existing kernel protection mechanisms. (CVE-2021-3923)

    A flaw was found in unrestricted eBPF usage by the BPF_BTF_LOAD, leading to a possible out-of-bounds     memory write in the Linux kernel's BPF subsystem due to the way a user loads BTF. This flaw allows a local     user to crash or escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-0500)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in linux/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c of the netfilter subsystem.
    This flaw allows a local user to cause an out-of-bounds write issue. (CVE-2022-1015)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in net/netfilter/nf_tables_core.c:nft_do_chain, which can cause a     use-after-free. This issue needs to handle return with proper preconditions, as it can lead to a kernel     information leak problem caused by a local, unprivileged attacker. (CVE-2022-1016)

    When the KVM updates the guest's page table entry, it will first use get_user_pages_fast() to pin the     page, and when it fails (e.g. the vma->flags has VM_IO or VM_PFNMAP), it will get corresponding VMA where     the page lies in through find_vma_intersection(), calculate the physical address, and map the page to the     kernel virtual address through memremap(), and finally, write the update.The problem is that when we get     the vma through find_vma_intersection(), only VM_PFNMAP is checked, not both VM_IO and VM_PFNMAP. In the     reproducer below, after the KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION is completed, we replace the guest's memory mapping     with the kernel-user shared region of io_uring and then perform the KVM_TRANSLATE operation, which finally     triggers the page table entry update. Now, memremap() will return page_offset_base (direct mapping of all     physical memory) + vaddr (the linear address of KVM_TRANSLATE) + vm_pgoff (the offset when io_uring     performs mmap(2)), and use the return value as the base address for CMPXCHG (write 0x21 in this case).
    Since both vaddr and vm_pgoff are controllable by the user-mode process, writing may exceed the previously     mapped guest memory space and trigger exceptions such as UAF. The vulnerability shares similarities with     CVE-2021-22543. (CVE-2022-1158)

    A NULL pointer dereference issue was found in KVM when releasing a vCPU with dirty ring support enabled.

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's adjust_ptr_min_max_vals in the kernel/bpf/verifier.c function. In     this flaw, a missing sanity check for *_OR_NULL pointer types that perform pointer arithmetic may cause a     kernel information leak issue. (CVE-2022-23222)

    An integer coercion error was found in the openvswitch kernel module. Given a sufficiently large number of     actions, while copying and reserving memory for a new action of a new flow, the reserve_sfa_size()     function does not return -EMSGSIZE as expected, potentially leading to an out-of-bounds write access. This     flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-2639)

    The SUNRPC subsystem in the Linux kernel through 5.17.2 can call xs_xprt_free before ensuring that sockets     are in the intended state. (CVE-2022-28893)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's io_uring interface subsystem in the way a user     triggers a race condition between timeout flush and removal. This flaw allows a local user to crash or     escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-29582)

    The Linux kernel before 5.17.2 mishandles seccomp permissions. The PTRACE_SEIZE code path allows attackers     to bypass intended restrictions on setting the PT_SUSPEND_SECCOMP flag. (CVE-2022-30594)

    An issue was discovered in drivers/input/input.c in the Linux kernel before 5.17.10. An attacker can cause     a denial of service (panic) because input_set_capability mishandles the situation in which an event code     falls outside of a bitmap. (CVE-2022-48619)

    A flaw that boot CPU could be vulnerable for the speculative execution behavior kind of attacks in the     Linux kernel X86 CPU Power management options functionality was found in the way user resuming CPU from     suspend-to-RAM. A local user could use this flaw to potentially get unauthorized access to some memory of     the CPU similar to the speculative execution behavior kind of attacks. (CVE-2023-1637)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in vhost_net_set_backend in drivers/vhost/net.c in virtio network     subcomponent in the Linux kernel due to a double fget. This flaw could allow a local attacker to crash the     system, and could even lead to a kernel information leak problem. (CVE-2023-1838)

    Improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer in some Intel(R) i915 Graphics     drivers for linux before kernel version 6.2.10 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable     escalation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2023-28410)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in vmxnet3_rq_alloc_rx_buf in drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_drv.c in     VMware's vmxnet3 ethernet NIC driver in the Linux Kernel. This issue could allow a local attacker to crash     the system due to a double-free while cleaning up vmxnet3_rq_cleanup_all, which could also lead to a     kernel information leak problem. (CVE-2023-4387)

    A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in vmxnet3_rq_cleanup in drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_drv.c in     the networking sub-component in vmxnet3 in the Linux Kernel. This issue may allow a local attacker with     normal user privilege to cause a denial of service due to a missing sanity check during cleanup.

    When the KVM updates the guest's page table entry, it will first use get_user_pages_fast() to pin the     page, and when it fails (e.g. the vma->flags has VM_IO or VM_PFNMAP), it will get corresponding VMA where     the page lies in through find_vma_intersection(), calculate the physical address, and map the page to the     kernel virtual address through memremap(), and finally, write the update.The problem is that when we get     the vma through find_vma_intersection(), only VM_PFNMAP is checked, not both VM_IO and VM_PFNMAP. In the     reproducer below, after the KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION is completed, we replace the guest's memory mapping     with the kernel-user shared region of io_uring and then perform the KVM_TRANSLATE operation, which finally     triggers the page table entry update. Now, memremap() will return page_offset_base (direct mapping of all     physical memory) + vaddr (the linear address of KVM_TRANSLATE) + vm_pgoff (the offset when io_uring     performs mmap(2)), and use the return value as the base address for CMPXCHG (write 0x21 in this case).
    Since both vaddr and vm_pgoff are controllable by the user-mode process, writing may exceed the previously     mapped guest memory space and trigger exceptions such as UAF. The vulnerability shares similarities with     CVE-2021-22543. (CVE-2022-1158)

  - Linux PV device frontends vulnerable to attacks by backends T[his CNA information record relates to     multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.] Several Linux PV     device frontends are using the grant table interfaces for removing access rights of the backends in ways     being subject to race conditions, resulting in potential data leaks, data corruption by malicious     backends, and denial of service triggered by malicious backends: blkfront, netfront, scsifront and the     gntalloc driver are testing whether a grant reference is still in use. If this is not the case, they     assume that a following removal of the granted access will always succeed, which is not true in case the     backend has mapped the granted page between those two operations. As a result the backend can keep access     to the memory page of the guest no matter how the page will be used after the frontend I/O has finished.
    The xenbus driver has a similar problem, as it doesn't check the success of removing the granted access of     a shared ring buffer. blkfront: CVE-2022-23036 netfront: CVE-2022-23037 scsifront: CVE-2022-23038     gntalloc: CVE-2022-23039 xenbus: CVE-2022-23040 blkfront, netfront, scsifront, usbfront, dmabuf, xenbus,     9p, kbdfront, and pvcalls are using a functionality to delay freeing a grant reference until it is no     longer in use, but the freeing of the related data page is not synchronized with dropping the granted     access. As a result the backend can keep access to the memory page even after it has been freed and then     re-used for a different purpose. CVE-2022-23041 netfront will fail a BUG_ON() assertion if it fails to     revoke access in the rx path. This will result in a Denial of Service (DoS) situation of the guest which     can be triggered by the backend.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5050 advisory.

  - Rogue backends can cause DoS of guests via high frequency events T[his CNA information record relates to     multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.] Xen offers the     ability to run PV backends in regular unprivileged guests, typically referred to as driver domains.
    Running PV backends in driver domains has one primary security advantage: if a driver domain gets     compromised, it doesn't have the privileges to take over the system. However, a malicious driver domain     could try to attack other guests via sending events at a high frequency leading to a Denial of Service in     the guest due to trying to service interrupts for elongated amounts of time. There are three affected     backends: * blkfront patch 1, CVE-2021-28711 * netfront patch 2, CVE-2021-28712 * hvc_xen (console) patch     3, CVE-2021-28713 (CVE-2021-28711, CVE-2021-28712, CVE-2021-28713)

  - Guest can force Linux netback driver to hog large amounts of kernel memory T[his CNA information record     relates to multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.]     Incoming data packets for a guest in the Linux kernel's netback driver are buffered until the guest is     ready to process them. There are some measures taken for avoiding to pile up too much data, but those can     be bypassed by the guest: There is a timeout how long the client side of an interface can stop consuming     new packets before it is assumed to have stalled, but this timeout is rather long (60 seconds by default).
    Using a UDP connection on a fast interface can easily accumulate gigabytes of data in that time.
    (CVE-2021-28715) The timeout could even never trigger if the guest manages to have only one free slot in     its RX queue ring page and the next package would require more than one free slot, which may be the case     when using GSO, XDP, or software hashing. (CVE-2021-28714) (CVE-2021-28714, CVE-2021-28715)

  - pep_sock_accept in net/phonet/pep.c in the Linux kernel through 5.15.8 has a refcount leak.
    (CVE-2021-45095)

  - In __f2fs_setxattr in fs/f2fs/xattr.c in the Linux kernel through 5.15.11, there is an out-of-bounds     memory access when an inode has an invalid last xattr entry. (CVE-2021-45469)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.15.11. There is a memory leak in the
    __rds_conn_create() function in net/rds/connection.c in a certain combination of circumstances.
    (CVE-2021-45480)

  - kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 5.15.14 allows local users to gain privileges because of     the availability of pointer arithmetic via certain *_OR_NULL pointer types. (CVE-2022-23222)
