Linux Kernel vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

CVE-2023-28410 is a vulnerability affecting Intel(R) i915 Graphics drivers for Linux before kernel version 6.2.10. The vulnerability stems from improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer, which could potentially enable privilege escalation through local access by an authenticated user (Intel Advisory, NVD).

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as an Out-of-bounds Write (CWE-787) and Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer (CWE-119). It has received a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.8 (High) from NIST with vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, while Intel Corporation assigned a slightly higher score of 8.8 (High) with vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H (NVD).

Impact

The successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to multiple severe consequences including disclosure of sensitive information, addition or modification of data, and potential Denial of Service (DoS). The vulnerability requires local access and can enable privilege escalation when successfully exploited (NetApp Advisory).

Mitigation and workarounds

The primary mitigation is to update to Linux kernel version 6.2.10 or later, which contains fixes for this vulnerability. The issue was fixed in the Linux kernel through commit 661412e301e2ca86799aa4f400d1cf0bd38c57c6 (5.19-rc1) (Debian Tracker).
