USN-6625-2: Linux kernel (GCP) vulnerabilities

Read Time:51 Second

Marek Marczykowski-Górecki discovered that the Xen event channel
infrastructure implementation in the Linux kernel contained a race
condition. An attacker in a guest VM could possibly use this to cause a
denial of service (paravirtualized device unavailability). (CVE-2023-34324)

Zheng Wang discovered a use-after-free in the Renesas Ethernet AVB driver
in the Linux kernel during device removal. A privileged attacker could use
this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-35827)

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Linux kernel when
performing operations with kernel objects, leading to an out-of-bounds
write. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-45863)

黄思聪 discovered that the NFC Controller Interface (NCI) implementation in
the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain memory allocation failure
conditions, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).

USN-6627-1: libde265 vulnerabilities

Read Time:1 Minute, 23 Second

It was discovered that libde265 could be made to read out of bounds. If a
user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted
file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of
service. (CVE-2021-35452, CVE-2021-36411, CVE-2022-43238, CVE-2022-43241,
CVE-2022-43242)

It was discovered that libde265 did not properly manage memory. If a user
or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an
attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or
execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
(CVE-2021-36408)

It was discovered that libde265 contained a logical error. If a user
or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an
attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2021-36409)

It was discovered that libde265 could be made to write out of bounds. If a
user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted
file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of
service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-36410, CVE-2022-43235,
CVE-2022-43236, CVE-2022-43237, CVE-2022-43239, CVE-2022-43240,
CVE-2022-43243, CVE-2022-43248, CVE-2022-43252, CVE-2022-43253)

It was discovered that libde265 could be made to write out of bounds. If a
user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted
file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of
service or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04
LTS. (CVE-2022-1253)
