Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2022-42896
DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel could allow a remote attacker from within the local network to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities in the net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c's l2cap_connect and l2cap_le_connect_req functions. By using Bluetooth within proximity of the victim, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system and leak kernel memory.
CVSS Base score: 5.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/240820 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2023-1281
DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by a use-after-free flaw in the traffic control index filter (tcindex). By sending a specially crafted request, an authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges to root.
CVSS Base score: 7.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/250930 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2023-1829
DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by a use-after-free flaw when deleting a perfect hash filter in the tcindex_delete() function. By sending a specially crafted request, an authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges.
CVSS Base score: 7.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/252501 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2023-2124
DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by an out-of-bounds access flaw in the XFS subsystem due to a missing metadata validation when
mounting a user-supplied XFS disk image. By sending a specially crafted request, an authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges or cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 7.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/253226 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2023-2194
DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel could allow a local authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an out-of-bounds write flaw in the SLIMpro I2C device driver. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause the system to crash.
CVSS Base score: 6.7
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/253494 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2023-2235
DESCRIPTION: Linux Kernel could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by a use-after-free flaw in the perf_group_detach function in the Performance Events system. By sending a specially crafted request, an authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges.
CVSS Base score: 7.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/254214 for the current score.

Disclaimer
According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
