CVE-2023-53513

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nbd: fix incomplete validation of ioctl arg We tested and found an alarm caused by nbdioctl arg without verification. The UBSAN warning calltrace like below: UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in fs/buffer.c:1709:35 signed integer...

CVE-2023-53487

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: powerpc/rtasflash: allow user copy to flash block cache objects With hardened usercopy enabled CONFIGHARDENEDUSERCOPY=y, using the /proc/powerpc/rtas/firmwareupdate interface to prepare a system firmware update yields a BUG: kern...

CVE-2023-53450

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: remove a BUGON in ext4mbreleasegrouppa If a malicious fuzzer overwrites the ext4 superblock while it is mounted such that the sfirstdatablock is set to a very large number, the calculation of the block group can underflow,...

CVE-2022-50428

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: fix off-by-one errors in fast-commit block filling Due to several different off-by-one errors, or perhaps due to a late change in design that wasn't fully reflected in the code that was actually merged, there are several ve...

CVE-2023-53531

CVE-2023-53531 affects the Linux kernel’s null_blk poll timeout handling. The provided details describe a race between null_timeout_rq() and null_poll() that can cause a NULL pointer dereference (address 0x8) and kernel panic during io_uring benchmarks on /dev/nullb0. The root cause is a race in ...

CVE-2023-53513

The CVE-2023-53513 issue is a Linux kernel vulnerability where incomplete validation of the nbd ioctl arg can trigger an i_size overflow when the arg is coerced to int (arg cast in nbd_ioctl /nbd_add_socket). The root cause is insufficient validation of large ioctl arguments, allowing an overflow...

CVE-2023-53487

CVE-2023-53487 concerns the Linux kernel under POWERPC: the powerpc/rtas_flash path allowed a user to copy memory into flash_block_cache objects when hardened usercopy is enabled (CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y). The flaw is triggered via the /proc/powerpc/rtas/firmware_update interface, causing a ke...

CVE-2023-53450

The CVE-2023-53450 entry concerns the Linux kernel ext4 subsystem. A malicious fuzzer that overwrites the ext4 superblock while mounted can set s_first_data_block to a very large value, causing the block-group calculation to underflow and trigger a BUG_ON. The fix changes the BUG_ON to ext4_warni...
