LIN1021-5994 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2023-3390

Created: Jun 28, 2023    Updated: Jul 31, 2023
Resolved Date: Jul 31, 2023
Found In Version: 10.21.20.1
Fix Version: 10.21.20.19
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 21
Component/s: Kernel

Description

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter subsystem in net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c.

Mishandled error handling with NFT_MSG_NEWRULE makes it possible to use a dangling pointer in the same transaction causing a use-after-free vulnerability. This flaw allows a local attacker with user access to cause a privilege escalation issue.

We recommend upgrading past commit 1240eb93f0616b21c675416516ff3d74798fdc97.
