Known Vulnerabilities Affecting Ubuntu 22.10 'Kinetic Kudu'
11 published CVEs affect the Ubuntu 22.10 'Kinetic Kudu', including 6 rated critical or high severity. Ubuntu no longer ships security patches for this release — our engineers provide mitigation guidance, workarounds and hardening support.
| CVE | Severity | CVSS | Published | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2023-1523 | CRITICAL | 10.0 | Sep 1, 2023 | Using the TIOCLINUX ioctl request, a malicious snap could inject contents into the input of the controlling terminal which could allow it to cause arbitrary commands to be executed outside of the snap sandbox after the snap exits. Graphical terminal emulators like xterm, gnome-terminal and others are not affected - this can only be exploited when snaps are run on a virtual console. |
| CVE-2024-6387 | HIGH | 8.1 | Jul 1, 2024 | A security regression (CVE-2006-5051) was discovered in OpenSSH's server (sshd). There is a race condition which can lead sshd to handle some signals in an unsafe manner. An unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to trigger it by failing to authenticate within a set time period. |
| CVE-2023-3297 | HIGH | 8.1 | Sep 1, 2023 | In Ubuntu's accountsservice an unprivileged local attacker can trigger a use-after-free vulnerability in accountsservice by sending a D-Bus message to the accounts-daemon process. |
| CVE-2026-31431 | HIGH | 7.8 | Apr 22, 2026 | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: algif_aead - Revert to operating out-of-place This mostly reverts commit 72548b093ee3 except for the copying of the associated data. There is no benefit in operating in-place in algif_aead since the source and destination come from different mappings. Get rid of all the complexity added for in-place operation and just copy the AD directly. |
| CVE-2022-3328 | HIGH | 7.8 | Jan 8, 2024 | Race condition in snap-confine's must_mkdir_and_open_with_perms() |
| CVE-2023-1326 | HIGH | 7.7 | Apr 13, 2023 | A privilege escalation attack was found in apport-cli 2.26.0 and earlier which is similar to CVE-2023-26604. If a system is specially configured to allow unprivileged users to run sudo apport-cli, less is configured as the pager, and the terminal size can be set: a local attacker can escalate privilege. It is extremely unlikely that a system administrator would configure sudo to allow unprivileged users to perform this class of exploit. |
| CVE-2023-1786 | MEDIUM | 5.5 | Apr 26, 2023 | Sensitive data could be exposed in logs of cloud-init before version 23.1.2. An attacker could use this information to find hashed passwords and possibly escalate their privilege. |
| CVE-2022-2602 | MEDIUM | 5.3 | Jan 8, 2024 | io_uring UAF, Unix SCM garbage collection |
| CVE-2023-5536 | MEDIUM | 5.0 | Dec 12, 2023 | A feature in LXD (LP#1829071), affects the default configuration of Ubuntu Server which allows privileged users in the lxd group to escalate their privilege to root without requiring a sudo password. |
| CVE-2023-1032 | MEDIUM | 4.7 | Jan 8, 2024 | The Linux kernel io_uring IORING_OP_SOCKET operation contained a double free in function __sys_socket_file() in file net/socket.c. This issue was introduced in da214a475f8bd1d3e9e7a19ddfeb4d1617551bab and fixed in 649c15c7691e9b13cbe9bf6c65c365350e056067. |
| CVE-2023-2612 | MEDIUM | 4.4 | May 31, 2023 | Jean-Baptiste Cayrou discovered that the shiftfs file system in the Ubuntu Linux kernel contained a race condition when handling inode locking in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (kernel deadlock). |
