LIN1018-11229 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2023-4244

Created: Sep 6, 2023    Updated: Nov 2, 2023
Resolved Date: Nov 2, 2023
Found In Version: 10.18.44.1
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 18
Component/s: Kernel

Description

A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.

Due to a race condition between nf_tables netlink control plane transaction and nft_set element garbage collection, it is possible to underflow the reference counter causing a use-after-free vulnerability.

We recommend upgrading past commit 3e91b0ebd994635df2346353322ac51ce84ce6d8.
