OESA-2023-1182 (CVE-2023-1073)

Vulnerability from osv_openeuler – Published: 2023-03-24 11:05 – Updated: 2026-08-06 11:05 – Source website

Summary

kernel security update

Details

The Linux Kernel, the operating system core itself.

Security Fix(es):

A flaw found in the Linux Kernel. The missing check causes a type confusion when issuing a list_entry() on an empty report_list. The problem is caused by the assumption that the device must have valid report_list. While this will be true for all normal HID devices, a suitably malicious device can violate the assumption.

References: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/?id=b12fece4c64857e5fab4290bf01b2e0317a88456 https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2023/01/17/3(CVE-2023-1073)

In nf_tables_updtable, if nf_tables_table_enable returns an error, nft_trans_destroy is called to free the transaction object. nft_trans_destroy() calls list_del(), but the transaction was never placed on a list -- the list head is all zeroes, this results in a NULL pointer dereference.(CVE-2023-1095)

Severity

6.3 (Medium)

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
