Summary

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the ATM (Asynchronous
Transfer Mode) subsystem of the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free
vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-51780)

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Rose X.25 protocol
implementation in the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after- free
vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-51782)

It was discovered that the netfilter connection tracker for netlink in the
Linux kernel did not properly perform reference counting in some error
conditions. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of
service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2023-7192)
