LIN1021-6224 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2023-4194

Created: Aug 6, 2023    Updated: Aug 28, 2023
Resolved Date: Aug 28, 2023
Found In Version: 10.21.20.1
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 21
Component/s: Kernel

Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TUN/TAP functionality. This issue could allow a local user to bypass network filters and gain unauthorized access to some resources. The original patches fixing CVE-2023-1076 are incorrect or incomplete. The problem is that the following upstream commits - a096ccca6e50 ("tun: tun_chr_open(): correctly initialize socket uid"), - 66b2c338adce ("tap: tap_open(): correctly initialize socket uid"), pass "inode->i_uid" to sock_init_data_uid() as the last parameter and that turns out to not be accurate.
