    (CVE-2023-5090)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's fs/smb/client component can be exploited to achieve     local privilege escalation. In case of an error in smb3_fs_context_parse_param, ctx->password was freed     but the field was not set to NULL which could lead to double free. We recommend upgrading past commit     e6e43b8aa7cd3c3af686caf0c2e11819a886d705. (CVE-2023-5345)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6466-1 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.9. drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_net.c has a     .disconnect versus dvb_device_open race condition that leads to a use-after-free. (CVE-2022-45886)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.9. drivers/media/usb/ttusb-dec/ttusb_dec.c has a     memory leak because of the lack of a dvb_frontend_detach call. (CVE-2022-45887)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.10. In drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_ca_en50221.c, a     use-after-free can occur is there is a disconnect after an open, because of the lack of a wait_event.
    (CVE-2022-45919)

  - In the Linux kernel through 6.2.7, fs/ntfs3/inode.c has an invalid kfree because it does not validate MFT     flags before replaying logs. (CVE-2022-48425)

  - A hash collision flaw was found in the IPv6 connection lookup table in the Linux kernel's IPv6     functionality when a user makes a new kind of SYN flood attack. A user located in the local network or     with a high bandwidth connection can increase the CPU usage of the server that accepts IPV6 connections up     to 95%. (CVE-2023-1206)

  - A side channel vulnerability on some of the AMD CPUs may allow an attacker to influence the return address     prediction. This may result in speculative execution at an attacker-controlled address, potentially     leading to information disclosure. (CVE-2023-20569)

  - A division-by-zero error on some AMD processors can potentially return speculative data resulting in loss     of confidentiality. (CVE-2023-20588)

  - In multiple functions of mem_protect.c, there is a possible way to access hypervisor memory due to a     memory access check in the wrong place. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System     execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. (CVE-2023-21264)

  - A flaw was found in the networking subsystem of the Linux kernel within the handling of the RPL protocol.
    This issue results from the lack of proper handling of user-supplied data, which can lead to an assertion     failure. This may allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to create a denial of service condition on the     system. (CVE-2023-2156)

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/bluetooth/hci_ldisc.c in the Linux kernel 6.2. In hci_uart_tty_ioctl,     there is a race condition between HCIUARTSETPROTO and HCIUARTGETPROTO. HCI_UART_PROTO_SET is set before     hu->proto is set. A NULL pointer dereference may occur. (CVE-2023-31083)

  - 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)

  - The fix for XSA-423 added logic to Linux'es netback driver to deal with a frontend splitting a packet in a     way such that not all of the headers would come in one piece. Unfortunately the logic introduced there     didn't account for the extreme case of the entire packet being split into as many pieces as permitted by     the protocol, yet still being smaller than the area that's specially dealt with to keep all (possible)     headers together. Such an unusual packet would therefore trigger a buffer overrun in the driver.
    (CVE-2023-34319)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem). This issue     may allow a malicious user with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges to directly dereference a NULL pointer in     xfrm_update_ae_params(), leading to a possible kernel crash and denial of service. (CVE-2023-3772)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.3.8. fs/smb/server/smb2pdu.c in ksmbd has an integer     underflow and out-of-bounds read in deassemble_neg_contexts. (CVE-2023-38427)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.3.9. ksmbd does not validate the SMB request protocol     ID, leading to an out-of-bounds read. (CVE-2023-38430)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.3.8. fs/smb/server/connection.c in ksmbd does not     validate the relationship between the NetBIOS header's length field and the SMB header sizes, via pdu_size     in ksmbd_conn_handler_loop, leading to an out-of-bounds read. (CVE-2023-38431)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.3.10. fs/smb/server/smb2misc.c in ksmbd does not     validate the relationship between the command payload size and the RFC1002 length specification, leading     to an out-of-bounds read. (CVE-2023-38432)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in nfc_llcp_find_local in net/nfc/llcp_core.c in NFC in the Linux kernel.
    This flaw allows a local user with special privileges to impact a kernel information leak issue.
    (CVE-2023-3863)

  - An issue was discovered in l2cap_sock_release in net/bluetooth/l2cap_sock.c in the Linux kernel before     6.4.10. There is a use-after-free because the children of an sk are mishandled. (CVE-2023-40283)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the siano smsusb module in the Linux kernel. The bug occurs     during device initialization when the siano device is plugged in. This flaw allows a local user to crash     the system, causing a denial of service condition. (CVE-2023-4132)

  - A flaw was found in KVM AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) in the Linux kernel. A KVM guest using     SEV-ES or SEV-SNP with multiple vCPUs can trigger a double fetch race condition vulnerability and invoke     the `VMGEXIT` handler recursively. If an attacker manages to call the handler multiple times, they can     trigger a stack overflow and cause a denial of service or potentially guest-to-host escape in kernel     configurations without stack guard pages (`CONFIG_VMAP_STACK`). (CVE-2023-4155)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TUN/TAP functionality. This issue could allow a local user to     bypass network filters and gain unauthorized access to some resources. The original patches fixing     CVE-2023-1076 are incorrect or incomplete. The problem is that the following upstream commits -     a096ccca6e50 (tun: tun_chr_open(): correctly initialize socket uid), - 66b2c338adce (tap: tap_open():
    correctly initialize socket uid), pass inode->i_uid to sock_init_data_uid() as the last parameter and     that turns out to not be accurate. (CVE-2023-4194)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. Due to a race condition between nf_tables netlink control plane     transaction and nft_set element garbage collection, it is possible to underflow the reference counter     causing a use-after-free vulnerability. We recommend upgrading past commit     3e91b0ebd994635df2346353322ac51ce84ce6d8. (CVE-2023-4244)

  - A flaw was found in the exFAT driver of the Linux kernel. The vulnerability exists in the implementation     of the file name reconstruction function, which is responsible for reading file name entries from a     directory index and merging file name parts belonging to one file into a single long file name. Since the     file name characters are copied into a stack variable, a local privileged attacker could use this flaw to     overflow the kernel stack. (CVE-2023-4273)

  - An integer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel. This issue leads to the kernel allocating     `skb_shared_info` in the userspace, which is exploitable in systems without SMAP protection since     `skb_shared_info` contains references to function pointers. (CVE-2023-42752)

  - An array indexing vulnerability was found in the netfilter subsystem of the Linux kernel. A missing macro     could lead to a miscalculation of the `h->nets` array offset, providing attackers with the primitive to     arbitrarily increment/decrement a memory buffer out-of-bound. This issue may allow a local user to crash     the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-42753)

  - A flaw was found in the IPv4 Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) classifier in the Linux kernel. The xprt     pointer may go beyond the linear part of the skb, leading to an out-of-bounds read in the `rsvp_classify`     function. This issue may allow a local user to crash the system and cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2023-42755)

  - A flaw was found in the Netfilter subsystem of the Linux kernel. A race condition between IPSET_CMD_ADD     and IPSET_CMD_SWAP can lead to a kernel panic due to the invocation of `__ip_set_put` on a wrong `set`.
    This issue may allow a local user to crash the system. (CVE-2023-42756)

  - An issue was discovered in net/ceph/messenger_v2.c in the Linux kernel before 6.4.5. There is an integer     signedness error, leading to a buffer overflow and remote code execution via HELLO or one of the AUTH     frames. This occurs because of an untrusted length taken from a TCP packet in ceph_decode_32.
    (CVE-2023-44466)

  - A memory leak flaw was found in nft_set_catchall_flush in net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c in the Linux     Kernel. This issue may allow a local attacker to cause double-deactivations of catchall elements, which     can result in a memory leak. (CVE-2023-4569)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's af_unix component can be exploited to achieve local     privilege escalation. The unix_stream_sendpage() function tries to add data to the last skb in the peer's     recv queue without locking the queue. Thus there is a race where unix_stream_sendpage() could access an     skb locklessly that is being released by garbage collection, resulting in use-after-free. We recommend     upgrading past commit 790c2f9d15b594350ae9bca7b236f2b1859de02c. (CVE-2023-4622)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_hfsc (HFSC qdisc traffic control)     component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. If a class with a link-sharing curve     (i.e. with the HFSC_FSC flag set) has a parent without a link-sharing curve, then init_vf() will call     vttree_insert() on the parent, but vttree_remove() will be skipped in update_vf(). This leaves a dangling     pointer that can cause a use-after-free. We recommend upgrading past commit     b3d26c5702c7d6c45456326e56d2ccf3f103e60f. (CVE-2023-4623)

  - Rejected reason: CVE-2023-4881 was wrongly assigned to a bug that was deemed to be a non-security issue by     the Linux kernel security team. (CVE-2023-4881)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_qfq component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. When the plug qdisc is used as a class of the qfq qdisc, sending     network packets triggers use-after-free in qfq_dequeue() due to the incorrect .peek handler of sch_plug     and lack of error checking in agg_dequeue(). We recommend upgrading past commit     8fc134fee27f2263988ae38920bc03da416b03d8. (CVE-2023-4921)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. Addition and removal of rules from chain bindings within the same     transaction causes leads to use-after-free. We recommend upgrading past commit     f15f29fd4779be8a418b66e9d52979bb6d6c2325.

  - A hash collision flaw was found in the IPv6 connection lookup table in the Linux kernel's IPv6     functionality when a user makes a new kind of SYN flood attack. A user located in the local network or     with a high bandwidth connection can increase the CPU usage of the server that accepts IPV6 connections up     to 95%. (CVE-2023-1206)

  - A side channel vulnerability on some of the AMD CPUs may allow an attacker to influence the return address     prediction. This may result in speculative execution at an attacker-controlled address, potentially     leading to information disclosure. (CVE-2023-20569)

  - A flaw was found in the networking subsystem of the Linux kernel within the handling of the RPL protocol.
    This issue results from the lack of proper handling of user-supplied data, which can lead to an assertion     failure. This may allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to create a denial of service condition on the     system. (CVE-2023-2156)

  - A null pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's DECnet networking protocol. This issue     could allow a remote user to crash the system. (CVE-2023-3338)

  - The fix for XSA-423 added logic to Linux'es netback driver to deal with a frontend splitting a packet in a     way such that not all of the headers would come in one piece. Unfortunately the logic introduced there     didn't account for the extreme case of the entire packet being split into as many pieces as permitted by     the protocol, yet still being smaller than the area that's specially dealt with to keep all (possible)     headers together. Such an unusual packet would therefore trigger a buffer overrun in the driver.
    (CVE-2023-34319)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.3.10. fs/smb/server/smb2misc.c in ksmbd does not     validate the relationship between the command payload size and the RFC1002 length specification, leading     to an out-of-bounds read. (CVE-2023-38432)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in nfc_llcp_find_local in net/nfc/llcp_core.c in NFC in the Linux kernel.
    This flaw allows a local user with special privileges to impact a kernel information leak issue.
    (CVE-2023-3863)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the siano smsusb module in the Linux kernel. The bug occurs     during device initialization when the siano device is plugged in. This flaw allows a local user to crash     the system, causing a denial of service condition. (CVE-2023-4132)

  - A flaw was found in KVM AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) in the Linux kernel. A KVM guest using     SEV-ES or SEV-SNP with multiple vCPUs can trigger a double fetch race condition vulnerability and invoke     the `VMGEXIT` handler recursively. If an attacker manages to call the handler multiple times, they can     trigger a stack overflow and cause a denial of service or potentially guest-to-host escape in kernel     configurations without stack guard pages (`CONFIG_VMAP_STACK`). (CVE-2023-4155)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TUN/TAP functionality. This issue could allow a local user to     bypass network filters and gain unauthorized access to some resources. The original patches fixing     CVE-2023-1076 are incorrect or incomplete. The problem is that the following upstream commits -     a096ccca6e50 (tun: tun_chr_open(): correctly initialize socket uid), - 66b2c338adce (tap: tap_open():
    correctly initialize socket uid), pass inode->i_uid to sock_init_data_uid() as the last parameter and     that turns out to not be accurate. (CVE-2023-4194)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. Due to a race condition between nf_tables netlink control plane     transaction and nft_set element garbage collection, it is possible to underflow the reference counter     causing a use-after-free vulnerability. We recommend upgrading past commit     3e91b0ebd994635df2346353322ac51ce84ce6d8. (CVE-2023-4244)

  - A flaw was found in the exFAT driver of the Linux kernel. The vulnerability exists in the implementation     of the file name reconstruction function, which is responsible for reading file name entries from a     directory index and merging file name parts belonging to one file into a single long file name. Since the     file name characters are copied into a stack variable, a local privileged attacker could use this flaw to     overflow the kernel stack. (CVE-2023-4273)

  - An integer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel. This issue leads to the kernel allocating     `skb_shared_info` in the userspace, which is exploitable in systems without SMAP protection since     `skb_shared_info` contains references to function pointers. (CVE-2023-42752)

  - An array indexing vulnerability was found in the netfilter subsystem of the Linux kernel. A missing macro     could lead to a miscalculation of the `h->nets` array offset, providing attackers with the primitive to     arbitrarily increment/decrement a memory buffer out-of-bound. This issue may allow a local user to crash     the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-42753)

  - A flaw was found in the IPv4 Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) classifier in the Linux kernel. The xprt     pointer may go beyond the linear part of the skb, leading to an out-of-bounds read in the `rsvp_classify`     function. This issue may allow a local user to crash the system and cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2023-42755)

  - A flaw was found in the Netfilter subsystem of the Linux kernel. A race condition between IPSET_CMD_ADD     and IPSET_CMD_SWAP can lead to a kernel panic due to the invocation of `__ip_set_put` on a wrong `set`.
    This issue may allow a local user to crash the system. (CVE-2023-42756)

  - An issue was discovered in net/ceph/messenger_v2.c in the Linux kernel before 6.4.5. There is an integer     signedness error, leading to a buffer overflow and remote code execution via HELLO or one of the AUTH     frames. This occurs because of an untrusted length taken from a TCP packet in ceph_decode_32.
    (CVE-2023-44466)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's af_unix component can be exploited to achieve local     privilege escalation. The unix_stream_sendpage() function tries to add data to the last skb in the peer's     recv queue without locking the queue. Thus there is a race where unix_stream_sendpage() could access an     skb locklessly that is being released by garbage collection, resulting in use-after-free. We recommend     upgrading past commit 790c2f9d15b594350ae9bca7b236f2b1859de02c. (CVE-2023-4622)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_hfsc (HFSC qdisc traffic control)     component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. If a class with a link-sharing curve     (i.e. with the HFSC_FSC flag set) has a parent without a link-sharing curve, then init_vf() will call     vttree_insert() on the parent, but vttree_remove() will be skipped in update_vf(). This leaves a dangling     pointer that can cause a use-after-free. We recommend upgrading past commit     b3d26c5702c7d6c45456326e56d2ccf3f103e60f. (CVE-2023-4623)

  - Rejected reason: CVE-2023-4881 was wrongly assigned to a bug that was deemed to be a non-security issue by     the Linux kernel security team. (CVE-2023-4881)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_qfq component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. When the plug qdisc is used as a class of the qfq qdisc, sending     network packets triggers use-after-free in qfq_dequeue() due to the incorrect .peek handler of sch_plug     and lack of error checking in agg_dequeue(). We recommend upgrading past commit     8fc134fee27f2263988ae38920bc03da416b03d8. (CVE-2023-4921)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. Addition and removal of rules from chain bindings within the same     transaction causes leads to use-after-free. We recommend upgrading past commit     f15f29fd4779be8a418b66e9d52979bb6d6c2325.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-299 advisory.

    2024-07-03: CVE-2023-51043 was added to this advisory.

    2024-02-01: CVE-2024-0639 was added to this advisory.

    2024-01-03: CVE-2023-39197 was added to this advisory.

    2023-10-12: CVE-2023-44466 was added to this advisory.

    2023-10-10: CVE-2022-48502 was added to this advisory.

    An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.2. The ntfs3 subsystem does not properly check for     correctness during disk reads, leading to an out-of-bounds read in ntfs_set_ea in fs/ntfs3/xattr.c.
    (CVE-2022-48502)

    An out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_qfq component can be exploited     to achieve local privilege escalation.

    The qfq_change_agg() function in net/sched/sch_qfq.c allows an out-of-bounds write because lmax is updated     according to packet sizes without bounds checks.

    We recommend upgrading past commit 3e337087c3b5805fe0b8a46ba622a962880b5d64. (CVE-2023-3611)

    A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: cls_fw component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation.

    If tcf_change_indev() fails, fw_set_parms() will immediately return an error after incrementing or     decrementing the reference counter in tcf_bind_filter(). If an attacker can control the reference counter     and set it to zero, they can cause the reference to be freed, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability.

    We recommend upgrading past commit 0323bce598eea038714f941ce2b22541c46d488f. (CVE-2023-3776)

    An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in Netfilter Connection Tracking (conntrack) in the Linux     kernel. This flaw allows a remote user to disclose sensitive information via the DCCP protocol.
    (CVE-2023-39197)

    An issue was discovered in net/ceph/messenger_v2.c in the Linux kernel before 6.4.5. There is an integer     signedness error, leading to a buffer overflow and remote code execution via HELLO or one of the AUTH     frames. This occurs because of an untrusted length taken from a TCP packet in ceph_decode_32.
    (CVE-2023-44466)

    In the Linux kernel before 6.4.5, drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic.c has a use-after-free during a race     condition between a nonblocking atomic commit and a driver unload. (CVE-2023-51043)

    A denial of service vulnerability due to a deadlock was found in sctp_auto_asconf_init in     net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel's SCTP subsystem. This flaw allows guests with local user privileges     to trigger a deadlock and potentially crash the system. (CVE-2024-0639)

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.122-77.145. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.15-2023-025 advisory.

    2023-08-31: CVE-2023-20569 was added to this advisory.

    An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.2. The ntfs3 subsystem does not properly check for     correctness during disk reads, leading to an out-of-bounds read in ntfs_set_ea in fs/ntfs3/xattr.c.
    (CVE-2022-48502)

    A side channel vulnerability on some of the AMD CPUs may allow an attacker to influence the return address     prediction. This may result in speculative execution at an attacker-controlled?address, potentially     leading to information disclosure. (CVE-2023-20569)

    An issue in Zen 2 CPUs, under specific microarchitectural circumstances, may allow an attacker to     potentially access sensitive information. (CVE-2023-20593)

    An out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_qfq component can be exploited     to achieve local privilege escalation.
