CVE-2023-39192: Fedoraproject Fedora

Medium severity, CVSS 6.0. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A flaw was found in the Netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel. The xt_u32 module did not validate the fields in the xt_u32 structure. This flaw allows a local privileged attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds read by setting the size fields with a value beyond the array boundaries, leading to a crash or information disclosure.

Affected products

• Fedoraproject Fedora: version 38 only
• Linux Linux Kernel: before 6.6 (fixed in 6.6)
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux: version 8.0 only
