QID 354775: Amazon Linux Security Advisory for kernel : ALAS2KERNEL-5.4-2023-042
A flaw was found in the linux kernel's layer 2 tunneling protocol (l2tp).
A missing lock when clearing sk_user_data can lead to a race condition and null pointer dereference.
A local user could use this flaw to potentially crash the system causing a denial of service. (
( CVE-2022-4129) in the linux kernel before 6.1.6, a null pointer dereference bug in the traffic control subsystem allows an unprivileged user to trigger a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted traffic control configuration that is set up with "tc qdisc" and "tc class" commands.
This affects qdisc_graft in net/sched/sch_api.c. (
( CVE-2022-47929) the linux kernel does not correctly mitigate smt attacks, as discovered through a strange pattern in the kernel api using stibp as a mitigation, leaving the process exposed for a short period of time after a syscall.
The kernel also does not issue an ibpb immediately during the syscall. (
( CVE-2023-0045) a null pointer dereference flaw was found in rawv6_push_pending_frames in net/ipv6/raw.c in the network subcomponent in the linux kernel.
This flaw causes the system to crash. (
( CVE-2023-0394) cbq_classify in net/sched/sch_cbq.c in the linux kernel through 6.1.4 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (slab-out-of-bounds read) because of type confusion (non-negative numbers can sometimes indicate a tc_act_shot condition rather than valid classification results). (
( CVE-2023-23454) atm_tc_enqueue in net/sched/sch_atm.c in the linux kernel through 6.1.4 allows attackers to cause a denial of service because of type confusion (non-negative numbers can sometimes indicate a tc_act_shot condition rather than valid classification results). (
( CVE-2023-23455)
Note: The preceding description block is extracted directly from the security advisory. Using automation, we have attempted to clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a securitybreach or could affect integrity, availability, and confidentiality.
