LIN1021-5327 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2023-0461

Created: Feb 28, 2023    Updated: Mar 12, 2023
Resolved Date: Mar 7, 2023
Found In Version: 10.21.20.1
Fix Version: 10.21.20.17
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 21
Component/s: Kernel

Description

There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel which can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. To reach the vulnerability kernel configuration flag CONFIG_TLS or CONFIG_XFRM_ESPINTCP has to be configured, but the operation does not require any privilege. There is a use-after-free bug of icsk_ulp_data of a struct inet_connection_sock. When CONFIG_TLS is enabled, user can install a tls context (struct tls_context) on a connected tcp socket. The context is not cleared if this socket is disconnected and reused as a listener. If a new socket is created from the listener, the context is inherited and vulnerable. The setsockopt TCP_ULP operation does not require any privilege. We recommend upgrading past commit 2c02d41d71f90a5168391b6a5f2954112ba2307c
