CVE-2023-4207 - High Severity Vulnerability
Yocto Linux Embedded kernel
Library home page: https://git.yoctoproject.org/git/linux-yocto
Found in HEAD commit: f1b7c617b9b8f4135ab2f75a0c407cc44d43683f
Found in base branch: master
A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: cls_fw component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. When fw_change() is called on an existing filter, the whole tcf_result struct is always copied into the new instance of the filter. This causes a problem when updating a filter bound to a class, as tcf_unbind_filter() is always called on the old instance in the success path, decreasing filter_cnt of the still referenced class and allowing it to be deleted, leading to a use-after-free. We recommend upgrading past commit 76e42ae831991c828cffa8c37736ebfb831ad5ec.
