CVE-2022-50213 · published 1 year ago
Summary
The Linux kernel’s network filtering component could keep a reference to a deleted data set, leading to a memory error that might cause the system to crash or be exploited. This affects standard Linux kernel packages, including those used on AWS, Azure, and Ubuntu LTS releases. Install the latest kernel updates from your distribution to apply the fix.
What to do
- Update linux kernel to version 5.19.2.
- Update canonical rootio-linux to version 5.15.0-185.195.root.io.101.
- Update canonical rootio-linux to version 5.15.0-186.196.root.io.103.
- Update canonical rootio-linux to version 5.15.0-186.196.aikido.104.
- Update linux to version 5.15.0-198.208.aikido.116.
- Update rootio-linux to version 5.15.0-198.208.aikido.116.
- Update debian linux to version 6.0.2-1.
- Update linux to version 5.15.0-202.212.aikido.118.

Original advisory text
CVE-2022-50213 in linux - Patched by Root
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_tables: do not allow SET_ID to refer to another table When doing lookups for sets on the same batch by using its ID, a set from a different table can be used. Then, when the table is removed, a reference to the set may be kept after the set is freed, leading to a potential use-after-free. When looking for sets by ID, use the table that was used for the lookup by name, and only return sets belonging to that same table. This fixes CVE-2022-2586, also reported as ZDI-CAN-17470.
