| Description: | Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux-hwe-6.5' package(s) announced via the USN-6818-4 advisory.
Vulnerability Insight:
Alon Zahavi discovered that the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel
did not properly validate H2C PDU data, leading to a null pointer
dereference vulnerability. A remote attacker could use this to cause a
denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-6356, CVE-2023-6535,
CVE-2023-6536)
It was discovered that the Intel Data Streaming and Intel Analytics
Accelerator drivers in the Linux kernel allowed direct access to the
devices for unprivileged users and virtual machines. A local attacker could
use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-21823)
Chenyuan Yang discovered that the RDS Protocol implementation in the Linux
kernel contained an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. An attacker could use
this to possibly cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-23849)
It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem
in the Linux kernel, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A
privileged local attacker could use this to possibly cause a denial of
service (system crash). (CVE-2024-24860)
Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
