CVE-2023-1390: tipc: fix NULL deref in tipc_link_xmit() · torvalds/linux@b774134
A remote denial of service vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel’s TIPC kernel module. The while loop in tipc_link_xmit() hits an unknown state while attempting to parse SKBs, which are not in the queue. Sending two small UDP packets to a system with a UDP bearer results in the CPU utilization for the system to instantly spike to 100%, causing a denial of service condition.

tipc: fix NULL deref in tipc_link_xmit()
The buffer list can have zero skb as following path: tipc_named_node_up()->tipc_node_xmit()->tipc_link_xmit(), so we need to check the list before casting an &sk_buff.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6045-1 - It was discovered that the Traffic-Control Index implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly perform filter deactivation in some situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to gain elevated privileges. Please note that with the fix for this CVE, kernel support for the TCINDEX classifier has been removed. Gwnaun Jung discovered that the SFB packet scheduling implementation in the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
