A race condition occurred between the functions lmLogClose and txEnd in JFS, in the Linux Kernel, executed in different threads. This flaw allows a local attacker with normal user privileges to crash the system or leak internal kernel information.

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.328-174.540. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1883 advisory.

    2024-04-11: CVE-2023-42754 was added to this advisory.

    A race condition between two functions, lmLogClose() and txEnd(), in the Linux kernel's JFS filesystem can     lead to a use-after-free vulnerability and crash. (CVE-2023-3397)

    A flaw in the kernel Xen event handler can cause a deadlock with Xen console handling in unprivileged Xen     guests. (CVE-2023-34324)

    A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel ipv4 stack. The socket buffer (skb) was     assumed to be associated with a device before calling __ip_options_compile, which is not always the case     if the skb is re-routed by ipvs. This issue may allow a local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges to crash     the system. (CVE-2023-42754)

    A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Linux Kernel Performance Events (perf)     component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.

    If perf_read_group() is called while an event's sibling_list is smaller than its child's sibling_list, it     can increment or write to memory locations outside of the allocated buffer.

    We recommend upgrading past commit 32671e3799ca2e4590773fd0e63aaa4229e50c06. (CVE-2023-5717)

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.10.199-190.747. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.10-2023-043 advisory.

    2024-07-03: CVE-2023-52504 was added to this advisory.

    2024-06-06: CVE-2023-52477 was added to this advisory.

    A race condition between two functions, lmLogClose() and txEnd(), in the Linux kernel's JFS filesystem can     lead to a use-after-free vulnerability and crash. (CVE-2023-3397)

    An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.5.9, exploitable by local users with userspace access     to MMIO registers. Incorrect access checking in the #VC handler and instruction emulation of the SEV-ES     emulation of MMIO accesses could lead to arbitrary write access to kernel memory (and thus privilege     escalation). This depends on a race condition through which userspace can replace an instruction before     the #VC handler reads it. (CVE-2023-46813)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    usb: hub: Guard against accesses to uninitialized BOS descriptors (CVE-2023-52477)
