Amazon Linux 2023: CVE-2023-3776: Important priority package update for kernel

A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: cls_fw component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.
If tcf_change_indev() fails, fw_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 0323bce598eea038714f941ce2b22541c46d488f.
A use-after-free vulnerability was found in fw_set_parms in net/sched/cls_fw.c in network scheduler sub-component in the Linux Kernel. This issue occurs due to a missing sanity check during cleanup at the time of failure, leading to a misleading reference. This may allow a local attacker to gain local privilege escalation.
