LIN1021-5603 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2023-1872

Created: Apr 12, 2023    Updated: Apr 17, 2023
Resolved Date: Apr 13, 2023
Found In Version: 10.21.20.1
Fix Version: 10.21.20.16
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 21
Component/s: Kernel

Description

A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel io_uring system can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.

The io_file_get_fixed function lacks the presence of ctx->uring_lock which can lead to a Use-After-Free vulnerability due a race condition with fixed files getting unregistered.

We recommend upgrading past commit da24142b1ef9fd5d36b76e36bab328a5b27523e8.
