Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6045-1

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.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6045-1
April 26, 2023

linux, linux-aws, linux-kvm, linux-lts-xenial vulnerabilities

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

  • Ubuntu 16.04 ESM
  • Ubuntu 14.04 ESM

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:

  • linux: Linux kernel
  • linux-aws: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems
  • linux-kvm: Linux kernel for cloud environments
  • linux-lts-xenial: Linux hardware enablement kernel from Xenial for Trusty

Details:

It was discovered that the Traffic-Control Index (TCINDEX) 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. (CVE-2023-1829)

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 (system crash) or possibly
execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-3586)

Zheng Wang and Zhuorao Yang discovered that the RealTek RTL8712U wireless
driver in the Linux kernel contained 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-2022-4095)

It was discovered that the TIPC protocol implementation in the Linux kernel
did not properly validate the queue of socket buffers (skb) when handling
certain UDP packets. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of
service. (CVE-2023-1390)

It was discovered that the Xircom PCMCIA network device driver in the Linux
kernel did not properly handle device removal events. A physically
proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash). (CVE-2023-1670)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 16.04 ESM:
linux-image-4.4.0-1119-kvm 4.4.0-1119.129
linux-image-4.4.0-1156-aws 4.4.0-1156.171
linux-image-4.4.0-240-generic 4.4.0-240.274
linux-image-4.4.0-240-lowlatency 4.4.0-240.274
linux-image-aws 4.4.0.1156.160
linux-image-generic 4.4.0.240.246
linux-image-generic-lts-xenial 4.4.0.240.246
linux-image-kvm 4.4.0.1119.116
linux-image-lowlatency 4.4.0.240.246
linux-image-lowlatency-lts-xenial 4.4.0.240.246
linux-image-virtual 4.4.0.240.246
linux-image-virtual-lts-xenial 4.4.0.240.246

Ubuntu 14.04 ESM:
linux-image-4.4.0-1118-aws 4.4.0-1118.124
linux-image-4.4.0-240-generic 4.4.0-240.274~14.04.1
linux-image-4.4.0-240-lowlatency 4.4.0-240.274~14.04.1
linux-image-aws 4.4.0.1118.115
linux-image-generic-lts-xenial 4.4.0.240.208
linux-image-lowlatency-lts-xenial 4.4.0.240.208
linux-image-virtual-lts-xenial 4.4.0.240.208

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.

ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have
been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and
reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed.
Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages
(e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual,
linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform
this as well.

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Android Binder IPC subsystem in the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2022-41802: en/security-disclosure/2022/2022-12.md · OpenHarmony/security - Gitee.com

Kernel subsystem within OpenHarmony-v3.1.4 and prior versions in kernel_liteos_a has a kernel stack overflow vulnerability when call SysClockGetres. 4 bytes padding data from kernel stack are copied to user space incorrectly and leaked.

CVE-2022-3586: sch_sfb: Don't assume the skb is still around after enqueueing to child · torvalds/linux@9efd232

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s networking code. A use-after-free was found in the way the sch_sfb enqueue function used the socket buffer (SKB) cb field after the same SKB had been enqueued (and freed) into a child qdisc. This flaw allows a local, unprivileged user to crash the system, causing a denial of service.
