script_tag(name:"insight", value:"It was discovered that the DesignWare USB3 for Qualcomm SoCs driver in the
Linux kernel did not properly handle certain error conditions during device
registration. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of
service (system crash). (CVE-2023-22995)
It was discovered that the NVIDIA Tegra XUSB pad controller driver in the
Linux kernel did not properly handle return values in certain error
conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash). (CVE-2023-23000)
Quentin Minster discovered that the KSMBD implementation in the Linux
kernel did not properly handle session setup requests. A remote attacker
could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion).
(CVE-2023-32247)
It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Cypress touchscreen
driver in the Linux kernel during device removal, leading to a use-after-
free vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause
a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2023-4134)
Huang Si Cong 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).
(CVE-2023-46343)
It was discovered that the io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel contained
a race condition, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A
local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2023-46862)
It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem
of 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 execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-51779)
It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Rose X.25 protocol
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 execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-51782)
Alon Zahavi discovered that the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem of the Linux kernel
did not properly handle connect command payloads in certain situations,
leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. A remote attacker could use
this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2023-6121)
It was discovered that the VirtIO subsystem in the Linux kernel did not
properly initialize memory in some situations. A local attacker could use
this to possibly expose sensitive information (kernel memory).
(CVE-2024-0340)
Dan Carpenter discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel
did not store data in properly sized memory locations. A local user could
use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-0607)
