December Patch Tuesday 2023
Prepare yourself for some Holiday Cheer because we have a fairly lite lineup of updates to cover this
month. Microsoft released fixes for 34 new CVEs including 4 which are Critical. Apple released their
updates for iPad, iOS, and macOS on December 11 and Google Chrome is likely releasing an update
on Wednesday December 13. The most urgent CVEs all seem to be in the OS and browsers this
month, so primary focus is to prioritize the OS and browser updates. Happy Holidays and we will see
you again in January 2024!

Publicly Disclosed Vulnerabilities
§ CVE-2023-20588 AMD Speculative Leaks Security Notice
§ CVSS 3.1 Scores: None reported yet
§ Severity: Important
§ AMD SB-7007 Notification - Speculative Leaks Security Notice (amd.com)
§ Impact: All currently supported Windows operating systems
§ Per Microsoft – The vulnerability assigned to this CVE is in certain processor
models offered by AMD. The mitigation for this vulnerability requires a Windows
update. This CVE is being documented in the Security Update Guide to announce
that the latest builds of Windows enable the mitigation and provide protection
against the vulnerability.

CVE-2023-3961 Additional Context:
§ CVSS 3: 9.8
§ Path traversal vulnerability in Samba,
§ A specially crafted path sent to a
vulnerable Samba server could trick it
into accessing data outside the shared
directories.
§ Given how prevalent Samba is in mixed
windows/Linux environments, this could
cause significant problems for file servers
running on Linux.
Happens when processing client pipe
names connecting to Unix domain sockets in
a private directory, which is meant to
connect SMB clients to remote procedure
call (RPC) services (such as SAMR LSA or
SPOOLSS).
Insufficient sanitization of incoming client
pipe names may result in an attacker or
client being able to send a pipe name
resolving to an external service using an
existing Unix domain socket.

CVE-2021-3773 Mitigation
§ CVSS 3: 9.8
§ Information disclosure in OpenVPN, a
common VPN solution on Linux systems.
§ It was found that a kernel flaw on the
netfilter code could expose endpoint
information to a remote attacker, which
could then be used for other attacks. On
untrusted networks, where this type of
protection is more valuable, it could
expose users to third parties.
Upgrade AlmaLinux:8 kernel-tools to version
0:4.18.0-372.9.1.el8 or higher.
This issue was patched in ALSA-2022:1988.

CVE-2023-4206
CVE-2023-4207
CVE-2023-4208
Additional Context:
§ CVSS 3: 7.5
§ A use-after-free flaw was found on the
kernel's network scheduler code that
could potentially be abused to obtain
local privilege escalation on essentially
any Linux system.
§ This code is present on most, if not all,
Linux distributions.
This is relevant because, if confirmed, it
can be very dangerous but also because it
got 3 CVE entries, all of which are currently
"undergoing reanalysis," and the pendulum
could swing either way - either a nothing -
burger or a very dangerous situation
indeed. At the very least, sysadmins should
keep an eye out on these advisories.
Mitigation
Prevent the module cls_u32 from being
loaded by blacklisting the module to
prevent it from loading automatically.

§ [Encrypt Drive Reporting Error] Using the FixedDrivesEncryptionType or
SystemDrivesEncryptionType policy settings in the BitLocker configuration service
provider (CSP) node in mobile device management (MDM) apps might incorrectly
show a 65000 error in the "Require Device Encryption" setting for some devices in
your environment. Affected environments are those with the “Enforce drive
