LSN-0092-1: Kernel Live Patch Security Notice

2023-03-07 KENNETH 0

LSN-0092-1: Kernel Live Patch Security Notice Kyle Zeng discovered that the sysctl implementation in the Linux kernel contained a stack-based buffer overflow. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code.(CVE-2022-4378) Tamás Koczka discovered that the Bluetooth L2CAP handshake implementation in the Linux kernel contained multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.(CVE-2022-42896) It was discovered that the NFSD implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle some RPC messages, leading to a buffer overflow. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.(CVE-2022-43945) Source: LSN-0092-1: Kernel Live Patch Security Notice

2023-03-07 KENNETH 0

USN-5928-1: systemd vulnerabilities It was discovered that systemd did not properly validate the time and accuracy values provided to the format_timespan() function. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a buffer overrun, leading to a denial of service attack. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM, Ubuntu 16.04 ESM, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-3821) It was discovered that systemd did not properly manage the fs.suid_dumpable kernel configurations. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to expose sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 22.10. (CVE-2022-4415) It was discovered that systemd did not properly manage a crash with long backtrace data. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a deadlock, leading to a denial of service attack. This issue only affected Ubuntu [ more… ]
