Patryk Sondej and Piotr Krysiuk discovered that a race condition existed in

the netfilter subsystem of the Linux kernel when processing batch requests,

leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this

to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary

code. (CVE-2023-32233)

Gwangun Jung discovered that the Quick Fair Queueing scheduler

implementation in the Linux kernel contained an out-of-bounds write

vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service

(system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-31436)

Reima Ishii discovered that the nested KVM implementation for Intel x86

processors in the Linux kernel did not properly validate control registers

in certain situations. An attacker in a guest VM could use this to cause a

denial of service (guest crash). (CVE-2023-30456)

It was discovered that the Broadcom FullMAC USB WiFi driver in the Linux

kernel did not properly perform data buffer size validation in some

situations. A physically proximate attacker could use this to craft a

malicious USB device that when inserted, could cause a denial of service

(system crash) or possibly expose sensitive information. (CVE-2023-1380)
