Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2023-42753
**DESCRIPTION:**Linux Kernel could allow a local authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an integer underflow due to an array indexing issue in the netfilter ipset subsystem. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 7.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/266809 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2023-5178
**DESCRIPTION:**Linux Kernel could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a use-after-free flaw in the nvmet_tcp_free_crypto function in the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 8.8
