Affected: kernel, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9, Fedora

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ksmbd, a high-performance in-kernel SMB server. The specific flaw exists within the handling of SMB2_TREE_CONNECT and SMB2_QUERY_INFO commands. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a pointer prior to accessing it. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to create a denial-of-service condition on the system.

Affected: Ubuntu:20.04:LTS: linux-aws-5.15, Ubuntu:20.04:LTS: linux-hwe-5.15, Ubuntu:20.04:LTS: linux-intel-iotg-5.15, Ubuntu:20.04:LTS: linux-lowlatency-hwe-5.15, Ubuntu:20.04:LTS: linux-oracle-5.15, Ubuntu:22.04:LTS: linux, Ubuntu:22.04:LTS: linux-aws, Ubuntu:22.04:LTS: linux-gcp, Ubuntu:22.04:LTS: linux-ibm, Ubuntu:22.04:LTS: linux-intel-iotg and 5 more

William Zhao discovered that the Traffic Control (TC) subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle network packet retransmission in certain situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (kernel deadlock). (CVE-2022-4269)

It was discovered that the NTFS file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly check buffer indexes in certain situations, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2022-48502)

Seth Jenkins discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly perform address randomization for a per-cpu memory management structure. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory) or in conjunction with another kernel vulnerability. (CVE-2023-0597)

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the btrfs file system implementation in the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive information. (CVE-2023-1611)

It was discovered that the APM X-Gene SoC hardware monitoring driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2023-1855)

It was discovered that the ST NCI NFC driver did not properly handle d…
