Description

kernel security update

The Linux Kernel, the operating system core itself.

Security Fix(es):

In binder_vma_close of binder.c, there is a possible use after free due to improper locking. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID: A-254837884References: Upstream kernel(CVE-2023-20928)

A heap overflow bug in ksmbd_decode_ntlmssp_auth_blob in which nt_len can be less than CIFS_ENCPWD_SIZE. This results in a negative blen argument for ksmbd_auth_ntlmv2, where it calls memcpy using blen on memory allocated by kmalloc(blen + CIFS_CRYPTO_KEY_SIZE). Note that CIFS_ENCPWD_SIZE is 16 and CIFS_CRYPTO_KEY_SIZE is 8. We believe this bug can only result in a remote DOS and not privilege escalation nor RCE, as the heap overflow occurs when blen is in range (-8, -1].”

In rndis_query_oid in drivers/net/wireless/rndis_wlan.c in the Linux kernel through 6.1.5, there is an integer overflow in an addition.(CVE-2023-23559)

There exists a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel through io_uring and the IORING_OP_SPLICE operation. If IORING_OP_SPLICE is missing the IO_WQ_WORK_FILES flag, which signals that the operation won't use current->nsproxy, so its reference counter is not increased. This assumption is not always true as calling io_splice on specific files will call the get_uts function which will use current->nsproxy leading to invalidly decreasing its reference counter later causing the use-after-free vulnerability. We recommend upgrading to version 5.10.160 or above(CVE-2022-4696)

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached with local access to the system, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality high, integrity high, availability high.

CVSS metrics in full

The score comes from this vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

  • Attack vector: Local — a local account, shell or session on the host is needed.
  • Attack complexity: Low — the attack works reliably, with no preparation.
  • Privileges required: Low — an ordinary user account is enough.
  • User interaction: None — nobody has to be tricked into anything.
  • Scope: Unchanged — the damage stays inside the vulnerable component.
  • Confidentiality impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
  • Integrity impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
  • Availability impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
