Advisory Summary

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel’s cgroup_release_agent_write was addressed that could lead to escalation of privileges and bypass namespace isolation unexpectedly.

CVE Number: CVE-2022-0492

Addressed an issue in OpenSSL that would make it possible to trigger an infinite loop by crafting a certificate that has invalid elliptic curve parameters. Since certificate parsing takes place before the certificate signature verification process, this could lead to a denial-of-service attack.

CVE Number: CVE-2022-0778

Addressed a memory copy vulnerability in the Linux Wi-Fi driver.

Addressed a command injection attack that could allow a malicious attacker on the same LAN to carry out a DNS spoofing attack via an unsecured HTTP call. This was done by removing the affected code from the product.

CVE Number: CVE-2022-22991, CVE-2022-22994

Reported By: Martin Rakhmanov (@mrakhmanov) working with Trend Micro’s Zero Day Initiative

A vulnerability was discovered within the parsing of extended attributes (EA) metadata when opening a file in smbd. This vulnerability can be exploited by unauthenticated users if they are allowed write access to file extended attributes. This vulnerability was addressed by removing the "fruit" VFS module from the list of configured VFS objects and by changing EA support configurations.
