A locking issue was discovered in the tty subsystem of the Linux kernel through version 5.9.13. The file drivers/tty/ttyjobctrl.c allows for a use-after-free attack against TIOCSPGRP, also known as CID-54ffccbf053b...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux

A locking inconsistency issue was discovered in the tty subsystem of the Linux kernel through version 5.9.13. Files drivers/tty/ttyio.c and drivers/tty/ttyjobctrl.c may allow a read-after-free attack on TIOCGSID, also known as CID-c8bcd9c5be24...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux

A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel. A use-after-free occurred in the way the console subsystem utilized ioctls KDGKBSENT and KDSKBSENT. A local user could exploit this flaw to gain access to memory beyond its intended scope. The most significant threat posed by this vulnerability is to dat...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux

A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel. A memory use-after-free vulnerability was identified in the perf subsystem, allowing a local attacker with permission to monitor perf events, thereby corrupting memory and potentially escalating privileges. The most significant threat of this vulnerabili...

USN-8390-2 linux-azure, linux-gcp, linux-hwe, linux-oracle vulnerability

It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly handle shared page fragments during socket buffer operations, collectively known as Dirty Frag. A logic flaw existed in the XFRM ESP-in-TCP subsystem and in the RxRPC networking subsystem when processing paged fragments. A local attacker...

USN-8390-2: Linux kernel vulnerability

It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly handle shared page fragments during socket buffer operations, collectively known as Dirty Frag. A logic flaw existed in the XFRM ESP-in-TCP subsystem and in the RxRPC networking subsystem when processing paged fragments. A local attacker...

kernel: scsi: target: iscsi: Fix use-after-free in iscsit_dec_conn_usage_count()

A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's iSCSI target subsystem. In the iscsitdecconnusagecount function, complete is called while still holding the conn-connusagelock spinlock. The waiting thread such as iscsitcloseconnection may wake up immediately and free the iscsitconn structure...

kernel: mm/page_alloc: clear page->private in free_pages_prepare()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's memory management subsystem. When pages are freed, the page-private field is not properly cleared. If these pages are later reallocated as high-order pages and split, the tail pages can retain stale page-private values. This can lead to a use-after-free...

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS : Linux kernel (Oracle) vulnerabilities (USN-8439-1)

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8439-1 advisory. Stonejiajia, Shir Tamari and Sagi Tzadik discovered that the OverlayFS implementation in the Ubuntu Linux kernel did not properly perform permission chec...

USN-8426-2: Linux kernel (Azure) vulnerabilities

It was discovered that the Linux kernel algifaead module did not properly handle in-place cryptographic operations. This flaw is known as Copy Fail. A local attacker could use this to escalate privileges, or possibly escape a container. CVE-2026-31431 It was discovered that the Linux kernel did n...

USN-8439-1 linux-oracle-5.15 vulnerabilities

Stonejiajia, Shir Tamari and Sagi Tzadik discovered that the OverlayFS implementation in the Ubuntu Linux kernel did not properly perform permission checks in certain situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to gain elevated privileges. CVE-2023-2640 Shir Tamari and Sagi Tzadik...

kernel: wifi: mac80211: drop stray 'static' from fast-RX rx_result

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Wi-Fi mac80211 subsystem. The ieee80211invokefastrx function uses a static variable for rxresult, which is shared across concurrent calls. This can lead to incorrect processing of Wi-Fi packets, where a packet might be mishandled or its status incorrectly...

kernel: wifi: mac80211: remove station if connection prep fails

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's mac80211 Wi-Fi subsystem. When Multi-Link Operation MLO connection preparation fails, the system may not correctly remove the associated station. This can lead to a use-after-free or double-free vulnerability in the debugfs component, potentially causing...

kernel: Bluetooth: hci_event: fix potential UAF in SSP passkey handlers

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth subsystem. This vulnerability, a Use-After-Free UAF, exists within the Secure Simple Pairing SSP passkey handlers. It occurs when hciconn lookup and field access are performed without proper locking, allowing a connection to be freed concurrently...
