In the Linux kernel through 6.2.8, net/bluetooth/hci_sync.c allows out-of-bounds access because amp_init1[] and amp_init2[] are supposed to have an intentionally invalid element, but do not.

An update of the linux package has been released.

    Patryk Sondej and Piotr Krysiuk discovered that a race condition existed in the netfilter subsystem of the     Linux kernel when processing batch requests, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker     could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2023-32233)

    Gwangun Jung discovered that the Quick Fair Queueing scheduler implementation in the Linux kernel     contained an out-of-bounds write vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-31436)

    Reima Ishii discovered that the nested KVM implementation for Intel x86 processors in the Linux kernel did     not properly validate control registers in certain situations. An attacker in a guest VM could use this to     cause a denial of service (guest crash). (CVE-2023-30456)

    It was discovered that the Broadcom FullMAC USB WiFi driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform     data buffer size validation in some situations. A physically proximate attacker could use this to craft a     malicious USB device that when inserted, could cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly expose     sensitive information. (CVE-2023-1380)

    William Zhao discovered that the Traffic Control (TC) subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly     handle network packet retransmission in certain situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a     denial of service (kernel deadlock). (CVE-2022-4269)

    It was discovered that the io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly perform file table     updates in some situations, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A local attacker could     use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-1583)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the btrfs file system implementation in the Linux     kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive information. (CVE-2023-1611)

    It was discovered that the Xircom PCMCIA network device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle     device removal events. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash). (CVE-2023-1670)

    It was discovered that the APM X-Gene SoC hardware monitoring driver in the Linux kernel contained a race     condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service (system crash) or expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2023-1855)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Xen transport layer implementation for the 9P file     system protocol in the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use     this to cause a denial of service (guest crash) or expose sensitive information (guest kernel memory).
    (CVE-2023-1859)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth HCI SDIO driver, leading to a use-after-     free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
    (CVE-2023-1989)

    It was discovered that the ST NCI NFC driver did not properly handle device removal events. A physically     proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-1990)

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:2892-1 advisory.

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's core dump subsystem. This flaw allows a local user     to crash the system. Only if patch 390031c94211 (coredump: Use the vma snapshot in fill_files_note) not     applied yet, then kernel could be affected. (CVE-2023-1249)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel traffic control index filter (tcindex) can be exploited     to achieve local privilege escalation. The tcindex_delete function which does not properly deactivate     filters in case of a perfect hashes while deleting the underlying structure which can later lead to double     freeing the structure. A local attacker user can use this vulnerability to elevate its privileges to root.
    We recommend upgrading past commit 8c710f75256bb3cf05ac7b1672c82b92c43f3d28. (CVE-2023-1829)

  - In the Linux kernel through 6.2.8, net/bluetooth/hci_sync.c allows out-of-bounds access because     amp_init1[] and amp_init2[] are supposed to have an intentionally invalid element, but do not.
    (CVE-2023-28866)

  - A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux Kernel ipvlan network driver can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. The out-of-bounds write is caused by missing skb->cb initialization in     the ipvlan network driver. The vulnerability is reachable if CONFIG_IPVLAN is enabled. We recommend     upgrading past commit 90cbed5247439a966b645b34eb0a2e037836ea8e. (CVE-2023-3090)

  - A use after free vulnerability was found in prepare_to_relocate in fs/btrfs/relocation.c in btrfs in the     Linux Kernel. This possible flaw can be triggered by calling btrfs_ioctl_balance() before calling     btrfs_ioctl_defrag(). (CVE-2023-3111)

  - A NULL pointer dereference issue was found in the gfs2 file system in the Linux kernel. It occurs on     corrupt gfs2 file systems when the evict code tries to reference the journal descriptor structure after it     has been freed and set to NULL. A privileged local user could use this flaw to cause a kernel panic.
    (CVE-2023-3212)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.1-rc8. dpu_crtc_atomic_check in     drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_crtc.c lacks check of the return value of kzalloc() and will cause the     NULL Pointer Dereference. (CVE-2023-3220)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel AMD Sensor Fusion Hub driver. This flaw     allows a local user to crash the system. (CVE-2023-3357)

  - A null pointer dereference was found in the Linux kernel's Integrated Sensor Hub (ISH) driver. This issue     could allow a local user to crash the system. (CVE-2023-3358)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel io_uring subsystem can be exploited to achieve local     privilege escalation. Racing a io_uring cancel poll request with a linked timeout can cause a UAF in a     hrtimer. We recommend upgrading past commit ef7dfac51d8ed961b742218f526bd589f3900a59     (4716c73b188566865bdd79c3a6709696a224ac04 for 5.10 stable and 0e388fce7aec40992eadee654193cad345d62663 for     5.15 stable). (CVE-2023-3389)

  - An issue was discovered in fl_set_geneve_opt in net/sched/cls_flower.c in the Linux kernel before 6.3.7.
    It allows an out-of-bounds write in the flower classifier code via TCA_FLOWER_KEY_ENC_OPTS_GENEVE packets.
    This may result in denial of service or privilege escalation. (CVE-2023-35788)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.3.2. A use-after-free was found in saa7134_finidev in     drivers/media/pci/saa7134/saa7134-core.c. (CVE-2023-35823)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.3.2. A use-after-free was found in     renesas_usb3_remove in drivers/usb/gadget/udc/renesas_usb3.c. (CVE-2023-35828)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.3.2. A use-after-free was found in rkvdec_remove in     drivers/staging/media/rkvdec/rkvdec.c. (CVE-2023-35829)
