OESA-2023-1178

The Linux Kernel, the operating system core itself.

Security Fix(es):

In bindertransactionbuffer_release of binder.c, there is a possible use after free due to improper input validation. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID: A-257685302References: Upstream kernel(CVE-2023-20938)

There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel which can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. To reach the vulnerability kernel configuration flag CONFIGTLS or CONFIGXFRMESPINTCP has to be configured, but the operation does not require any privilege. There is a use-after-free bug of icskulpdata of a struct inetconnectionsock. When CONFIGTLS is enabled, user can install a tls context (struct tlscontext) on a connected tcp socket. The context is not cleared if this socket is disconnected and reused as a listener. If a new socket is created from the listener, the context is inherited and vulnerable. The setsockopt TCPULP operation does not require any privilege. We recommend upgrading past commit 2c02d41d71f90a5168391b6a5f2954112ba2307c(CVE-2023-0461)

In the Linux kernel 6.0.8, there is an out-of-bounds read in ntfsattrfind in fs/ntfs/attrib.c.(CVE-2023-26607)

A flaw in the Linux Kernel found. The tlsistxready() incorrectly checks for list emptiness, potentially accessing a type confused entry to the listhead, leaking the last byte of the confused field that overlaps with rec->tx_ready.

A flaw found in the Linux Kernel in RDS (Reliable Datagram Sockets) protocol. The rdsrmzerocopycallback() uses listentry() on the head of a list causing a type confusion. Local user can trigger this with rdsmessageput(). Type confusion leads to struct rds_msg_zcopy_info *info actually points to something else that is potentially controlled by local user. It is known how to trigger this, which causes an OOB access, and a lock corruption.

A flaw found in the Linux Kernel. The tun/tap sockets have their socket UID hardcoded to 0 due to a type confusion in their initialization function. While it will be often correct, as tuntap devices require CAPNETADMIN, it may not always be the case, e.g., a non-root user only having that capability. This would make tun/tap sockets being incorrectly treated in filtering/routing decisions, possibly bypassing network filters.

In the Linux kernel before 5.17, an error path in dwc3qcomacpiregistercore in drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-qcom.c lacks certain platformdeviceput and kfree calls.(CVE-2023-22995)

A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel integrated infrared receiver/transceiver driver was found in the way user detaching rc device. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.(CVE-2023-1118)

In the Linux kernel before 6.1.13, there is a double free in net/mpls/af_mpls.c upon an allocation failure (for registering the sysctl table under a new location) during the renaming of a device.(CVE-2023-26545)
