The reference count changes made as part of the CVE-2023-33951 and CVE-2023-33952 fixes exposed a use-after-free flaw in the way memory objects were handled when they were being used to store a surface. When running inside a VMware guest with 3D acceleration enabled, a local, unprivileged user could potentially use this flaw to escalate their privileges.

The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2024:0134 advisory.

  - 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 use-after-free vulnerability was found in iscsi_sw_tcp_session_create in drivers/scsi/iscsi_tcp.c in     SCSI sub-component in the Linux Kernel. In this flaw an attacker could leak kernel internal information.
    (CVE-2023-2162)

  - 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 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)

  - The reference count changes made as part of the CVE-2023-33951 and CVE-2023-33952 fixes exposed a use-     after-free flaw in the way memory objects were handled when they were being used to store a surface. When     running inside a VMware guest with 3D acceleration enabled, a local, unprivileged user could potentially     use this flaw to escalate their privileges. (CVE-2023-5633)

  - An integer overflow vulnerability was found in vmwgfx driver in drivers/gpu/vmxgfx/vmxgfx_execbuf.c in GPU     component of Linux kernel with device file '/dev/dri/renderD128 (or Dxxx)'. This flaw allows a local     attacker with a user account on the system to gain privilege, causing a denial of service(DoS).
    (CVE-2022-36402)

  - 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 use-after-free vulnerability was found in iscsi_sw_tcp_session_create in drivers/scsi/iscsi_tcp.c in     SCSI sub-component in the Linux Kernel. In this flaw an attacker could leak kernel internal information.
    (CVE-2023-2162)

  - 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 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)

    Maxim Levitsky discovered that the KVM nested virtualization (SVM) implementation for AMD processors in     the Linux kernel did not properly handle x2AVIC MSRs. An attacker in a guest VM could use this to cause a     denial of service (host kernel crash). (CVE-2023-5090)

    It was discovered that the SMB network file sharing protocol implementation in the Linux kernel did not     properly handle certain error conditions, 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-2023-5345)

    Murray McAllister discovered that the VMware Virtual GPU DRM driver in the Linux kernel did not properly     handle memory objects when storing surfaces, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker     in a guest VM could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2023-5633)
