Summary

Yu Hao and Weiteng Chen discovered that the Bluetooth HCI UART driver in
the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a null pointer
dereference vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a
denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-31083)

Lin Ma discovered that the Netlink Transformation (XFRM) subsystem in the
Linux kernel contained a null pointer dereference vulnerability in some
situations. A local privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of
service (system crash). (CVE-2023-3772)

Chih-Yen Chang discovered that the KSMBD implementation in the Linux kernel
did not properly validate SMB request protocol IDs, leading to a out-of-
bounds read vulnerability. A remote attacker could possibly use this to
cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-38430)

Chih-Yen Chang discovered that the KSMBD implementation in the Linux kernel
did not properly validate command payload size, leading to a out-of-bounds
read vulnerability. A remote attacker could possibly use this to cause a
denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-38432)

It was discovered that the NFC implementation in the Linux kernel contained
a use-after-free vulnerability when performing peer-to-peer communication
in certain conditions. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a
denial of service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive information
(kernel memory). (CVE-2023-3863)

Laurence Wit discovered that the KSMBD implementation in the Linux kernel
did not properly validate a buffer size in certain situations, leading to
an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. A remote attacker could use this to
cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive
information. (CVE-2023-3865)

Laurence Wit discovered that the KSMBD implementation in the Linux kernel
contained a null pointer dereference vulnerability when handling handling
chained requests. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of
service (system crash). (CVE-2023-3866)

It was discovered that the KSMBD implementation in the Linux kernel did not
properly handle session setup requests, leading to an out-of-bounds read
vulnerability. A remote attacker could use this to expose sensitive
information. (CVE-2023-3867)

It was discovered that the Siano USB MDTV receiver device driver in the
Linux kernel did not properly handle device initialization failures in
certain situations, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A physically
proximate attacker could use this cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2023-4132)

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Cypress touchscreen
driver in the Linux kernel during device removal, leading to a use-after-
free vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause
a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2023-4134)

Thelford Williams discovered that the Ceph file system messenger protocol
implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate frame segment
length in certain situation, leading to a buffer overflow vulnerability. A
remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash)
or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-44466)
