Security Configuration Assessment (SCA) is critical to an organization's cybersecurity strategy. SCA aims to discover vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that malicious actors exploit to gain unauthorized access to systems and data. Regular security configuration assessments are essential in maintaining a secure and compliant environment, as this minimizes the risk of cyber attacks. The

Related CVEs: * 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.

A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's fs/smb/client component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. In case of an error in smb3_fs_context_parse_param, ctx->password was freed but the field was not set to NULL which could lead to double free. We recommend upgrading past commit e6e43b8aa7cd3c3af686caf0c2e11819a886d705.
