kernel: fanotify: fix false positive on permission events

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's fanotify subsystem. This vulnerability allows for a bypass of permission checks because the fsnotifygetmarksafe function may incorrectly return false for marks on unrelated groups. This could enable an attacker to perform unauthorized actions by circumventin...

kernel: rtnetlink: add missing netlink_ns_capable() check for peer netns

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's rtnetlink component. An unprivileged local user, leveraging a user namespace, can exploit a missing CAPNETADMIN capability check in the rtnlnewlink function. This allows the user to create paired network devices in arbitrary network namespaces, including the...

kernel: net: sched: UAF via missing handler for TC_ACT_CONSUMED in tcf_qevent_handle

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's traffic control TC classifier application programming interface API. The tcfqeventhandle function does not properly handle a consumed socket buffer skb when it is processed by the defragmentation engine. This can lead to a Use-After-Free UAF vulnerability,...

kernel: ipc: limit next_id allocation to the valid ID range

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The ipcidralloc function, used in the checkpoint/restore path for SysV Inter-Process Communication IPC ID allocation, does not properly limit ID allocation to the valid range. This can result in the system attempting to dereference freed memory, leading to a...

USN-8620-4: Linux kernel (Intel IoTG) vulnerabilities

Maxim Suhanov discovered that the NTFS file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate file name length in certain situations, leading to an out-of-bounds read. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious NTFS image that, when mounted and operated on, could expose...

kernel: xfrm: defensively unhash xfrm_state lists in __xfrm_state_delete

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's xfrm IPSec framework subsystem. This vulnerability, a use-after-free, occurs when the system incorrectly manages memory related to security policies, specifically during the deletion of xfrmstate lists. An attacker with local access could exploit this flaw b...
