CVE-2023-1192 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade RHEL:8 perf to version 0:4.18.0-477.36.1.el8_8 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2023:7539.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perf package and not the perf package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
A use-after-free flaw was found in smb2_is_status_io_timeout() in CIFS in the Linux Kernel. After CIFS transfers response data to a system call, there are still local variable points to the memory region, and if the system call frees it faster than CIFS uses it, CIFS will access a free memory region, leading to a denial of service.
