Summary

Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2023 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2023-54236: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/net_failover: fix txq exceeding warning CVE-2023-53684: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfrm: Zero padding when dumping algos and encap CVE-2023-53378: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/i915/dpt: Treat the DPT BO as a framebuffer CVE-2023-53348: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: fix deadlock when aborting transaction during relocation with scrub CVE-2023-53246: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cifs: fix DFS traversal oops without CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL CVE-2023-53093: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Do not let histogram values have some modifiers CVE-2023-53088: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mptcp: fix UaF in listener shutdown CVE-2023-53083: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: don't replace page in rq_pages if it's a continuation of last page CVE-2023-53080: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xsk: Add missing overflow check in xdp_umem_reg CVE-2023-53073: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf/x86/amd/core: Always clear status for idx CVE-2023-53072: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mptcp: use the workqueue to destroy unaccepted sockets CVE-2023-53065: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf/core: Fix perf_output_begin parameter is incorrectly invoked in perf_event_bpf_output CVE-2023-53060: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: igb: revert rtnl_lock() that causes deadlock CVE-2023-53055: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fscrypt: destroy keyring after security_sb_delete() CVE-2023-53053: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: erspan: do not use skb_mac_header() in ndo_start_xmit() CVE-2023-53051: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm crypt: add cond_resched() to dmcrypt_write() CVE-2023-53044: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm stats: check for and propagate alloc_percpu failure CVE-2023-2194: An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's SLIMpro I2C device driver. The userspace "data->block[0]" variable was not capped to a number between 0-255 and was used as the size of a memcpy, possibly writing beyond the end of dma_buffer. This flaw could allow a local privileged user to crash the system or potentially achieve code execution. CVE-2023-1611: A use-after-free flaw was found in btrfs_search_slot in fs/btrfs/ctree.c in btrfs in the Linux Kernel.This flaw allows an attacker to crash the system and possibly cause a kernel information lea CVE-2023-1583: A NULL pointer dereference has been discovered in the Linux Kernel, in io_file_bitmap_get in io_uring/filetable.c. CVE-2022-4269: A flaw was found in the Linux kernel Traffic Control (TC) subsystem. Using a specific networking configuration (redirecting egress packets to ingress using TC action "mirred") a local unprivileged user could trigger a CPU soft lockup (ABBA deadlock) when the transport protocol in use (TCP or SCTP) does a retransmission, resulting in a denial of service condition.
