( CVE-2023-42752) a flaw was found in rsvp_change().
The root cause is an slab-out-of-bound access, but since the offset to the original pointer is an `unsign int` fully controlled by users, the behavior is usually a wild pointer access. (
( CVE-2023-42755) a use-after-free vulnerability in the linux kernels net/sched: sch_hfsc (hfsc qdisc traffic control) component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. if a class with a link-sharing curve (i.e. with the hfsc_fsc flag set) has a parent without a link-sharing curve, then init_vf() will call vttree_insert() on the parent, but vttree_remove() will be skipped in update_vf().
This leaves a dangling pointer that can cause a use-after-free. we recommend upgrading past commit b3d26c5702c7d6c45456326e56d2ccf3f103e60f. (

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a securitybreach or could affect integrity, availability, and confidentiality.
