CVE-2023-3390 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Centos:8 kernel-abi-stablelists to version 0:4.18.0-477.27.1.el8_8 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-abi-stablelists package and not the kernel-abi-stablelists package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter subsystem in net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c.
Mishandled error handling with NFT_MSG_NEWRULE makes it possible to use a dangling pointer in the same transaction causing a use-after-free vulnerability. This flaw allows a local attacker with user access to cause a privilege escalation issue.
We recommend upgrading past commit 1240eb93f0616b21c675416516ff3d74798fdc97.
