CVE-2023-4194

Disclosure Date: August 07, 2023
Add MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques that apply to this CVE.

Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s TUN/TAP functionality. This issue could allow a local user to bypass network filters and gain unauthorized access to some resources. The original patches fixing CVE-2023-1076 are incorrect or incomplete. The problem is that the following upstream commits – a096ccca6e50 (“tun: tun_chr_open(): correctly initialize socket uid”), – 66b2c338adce (“tap: tap_open(): correctly initialize socket uid”), pass “inode->i_uid” to sock_init_data_uid() as the last parameter and that turns out to not be accurate.
