- CVE-2023-1206: A hash collision flaw was found in the IPv6 connection lookup table in the Linux kernel’s IPv6 functionality when a user makes a new kind of SYN flood attack. A user located in the local network or with a high bandwidth connection can increase the CPU usage of the server that accepts IPV6 connections up to 95%.
- CVE-2023-1998: It was found that the Linux Kernel still left the victim process exposed to attacks in some cases even after enabling the spectre-BTI mitigation with prctl. The kernel failed to protect applications that attempted to protect against Spectre v2 leaving them open to attack from other processes running on the same physical core in another hyperthread.
- CVE-2023-3161: A flaw was found in the Framebuffer Console (fbcon) in the Linux Kernel. When providing a font->width and font->height greater than 32 to the fbcon_set_font, since there are no checks in place, a shift-out-of-bounds occurs, leading to undefined behavior and possible denial of service.
- CVE-2023-4128: A use-after-free flaw was found in net/sched/cls_fw.c in classifiers (cls_fw, cls_u32, and cls_route) in the Linux Kernel. This flaw allows a local attacker to perform a local privilege escalation due to incorrect handling of the existing filter, leading to a kernel information leak issue.
- CVE-2023-28327: A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the UNIX protocol in net/unix/diag.c In unix_diag_get_exact in the Linux Kernel. The newly allocated skb does not have sk, leading to a NULL pointer. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially cause a denial of service.
- CVE-2023-31248: A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s Netfilter module in net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c in nft_chain_lookup_byid. This flaw allows a local attacker to cause a local privilege escalation issue due to a missing cleanup.
- CVE-2023-35001: An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in the Netfilter module in the Linux kernel’s nft_byteorder_eval in net/netfilter/nft_byteorder.c. A bound check failure allows a local attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN access to cause a local privilege escalation issue due to incorrect data alignment.
- CVE-2023-35788: A flaw was found in the TC flower classifier (cls_flower) in the Networking subsystem of the Linux kernel. This issue occurs when sending two TCA_FLOWER_KEY_ENC_OPTS_GENEVE packets with a total size of 252 bytes, which results in an out-of-bounds write when the third packet enters fl_set_geneve_opt, potentially leading to a denial of service or privilege escalation.

Dell VxRail, version(s) 8.0.100 and earlier contain a denial-of-service vulnerability in the upgrade functionality. A remote unauthenticated attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to degraded performance and system malfunction.
A flaw was found in the Framebuffer Console (fbcon) in the Linux Kernel. When providing font->width and font->height greater than 32 to fbcon_set_font, since there are no checks in place, a shift-out-of-bounds occurs leading to undefined behavior and possible denial of service.
The Linux kernel allows userspace processes to enable mitigations by calling prctl with PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL which disables the speculation feature as well as by using seccomp. We had noticed that on VMs of at least one major cloud provider, the kernel still left the victim process exposed to attacks in some cases even after enabling the spectre-BTI mitigation with prctl. The same behavior can be observed on a bare-metal machine when forcing the mitigation to IBRS on boot command line. This happened because when plain IBRS was enabled (not enhanced IBRS), the kernel had some logic that determined that STIBP was not needed. The IBRS bit implicitly protects against cross-thread branch target injection. However, with legacy IBRS, the IBRS bit was cleared on returning to userspace, due to performance reasons, which disabled the implicit STIBP and left userspace threads vulnerable to cross-thread branch target injection against which STIBP protects.
Ubuntu Security Notice 6033-1 - It was discovered that the Traffic-Control Index implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly perform filter deactivation in some situations.
