Answer in brief
CVE-2023-3609 records a High severity (CVSS 7.8) vulnerability in Use-after-free in Linux kernel's net/sched: cls_u32 component. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps Linux/Kernel (generic), Siemens/SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP (generic), Siemens/SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518F-4 PN/DP MFP (generic), Siemens/SIMATIC S7-1500 TM MFP - GNU/Linux subsystem (generic) and additional mapped packages. Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.

A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: cls_u32 component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. If tcf_change_indev() fails, u32_set_parms() will immediately return an error after incrementing or decrementing the reference counter in tcf_bind_filter(). If an attacker can control the reference counter and set it to zero, they can cause the reference to be freed, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. We recommend upgrading past commit 04c55383fa5689357bcdd2c8036725a55ed632bc.
