CVE-2023-2162 (CCN-253490)

Assigned:2023-01-31
Published:2023-01-31
Updated:2023-05-03
Summary:Linux Kernel could allow a local attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a use-after-free flaw in the iscsi_sw_tcp_session_create function in drivers/scsi/iscsi_tcp.c in the SCSI sub-component. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain kernel internal information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
