The vulnerability of the tipc component in the Linux operating system’s kernel allows a hacker to trigger a service failure.

The vulnerability of the tipc component in the Linux operating system’s kernel is related to kernel panic that occurs when a device driver is loaded at a node. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an attacker to cause service failures...

CVE-2022-48868

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: idxd: Let probe fail when workqueue cannot be enabled The workqueue is enabled when the appropriate driver is loaded and disabled when the driver is removed. When the driver is removed it assumes that the workqueue was...

CVE-2022-48868

The CVE-2022-48868 issue affects the Linux kernel’s dmaengine: idxd driver. The root cause is in the probe/enabling path: drv_enable_wq() may return success on failure to enable the workqueue, allowing the driver to load while allocations intended for the workqueue enablement were never valid, wh...

ghostscript: OPVP device arbitrary code execution via custom Driver library

A flaw was found in Ghostscript. The "Driver" parameter for the "opvp"/"oprp" device specifies the name of a dynamic library and allows any library to be loaded. This flaw allows a malicious user to send a specially crafted document that, when processed by Ghostscript, could potentially lead to...

kernel: cpufreq: amd-pstate-ut: Fix kernel panic when loading the driver

A reference leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel's AMD P-state unit test driver in the CPU policy access logic. A local user can trigger this issue by loading the amd-pstate-ut driver, which acquires CPU policy references via cpufreqcpuget without releasing them via cpufreqcpuput. This causes...

VectorKernel - PoCs For Kernelmode Rootkit Techniques Research

PoCs for Kernelmode rootkit techniques research or education. Currently focusing on Windows OS. All modules support 64bit OS only. NOTE Some modules use ExAllocatePool2 API to allocate kernel pool memory. ExAllocatePool2 API is not supported in OSes older than Windows 10 Version 2004. If you want...

Linux kernel security vulnerabilities

The Linux kernel is the kernel used by the Linux Foundation's open source operating system Linux. A security vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel that stems from PCI code calling IRQ mapping functions whenever the PCI driver is probed. If these are flagged as init, this can lead to a...
