kernel: scsi: qla2xxx: Bound rsp_info_len to avoid OOB sense-data read

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's scsi: qla2xxx driver. A remote attacker, by sending a specially crafted Fibre Channel Protocol FCP response, could cause an integer underflow. This underflow leads to an out-of-bounds read when handling sense data, potentially disclosing sensitive memory...

kernel: ipv6: validate extension header length before copying to cmsg

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IPv6 networking stack. An unprivileged local user could exploit a vulnerability in how IPv6 extension header lengths are handled. By manipulating these headers using nftables, an attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds read, leading to information disclosure...

kernel: ALSA: usx2y: bound the hwdep mmap fault offset

A flaw was found in the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture ALSA usx2y driver in the Linux kernel. A local attacker, by opening the hwdep node of an attached US-X2Y device, could exploit an unbounded memory mapping mmap fault offset. This allows read-write access to arbitrary kernel memory,...

kernel: ipv6: fix use-after-free in ip6_finish_output2()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IPv6 networking stack. A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the ip6finishoutput2 function, where a cached pointer to the IPv6 destination address can become stale after memory reallocation. An attacker could potentially exploit this to leak sensitive...

kernel: sctp: validate embedded INIT chunk and address list lengths in cookie

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol SCTP implementation. Specifically, improper validation of embedded INIT chunk and address list lengths in SCTP cookies could allow a remote attacker to trigger out-of-bounds reads. This could lead to information disclosur...

kernel: Linux kernel: Denial of Service in qla2xxx SCSI driver due to improper command handling after chip reset

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's qla2xxx SCSI driver. This vulnerability occurs when commands sent to the firmware FW are not properly cleared after a chip reset. A local attacker could exploit a race condition during direct memory access DMA unmapping, leading to a kernel panic. This can...

kernel: dm-verity: fix buffer overflow in FEC calculation

A flaw was found in the dm-verity component of the Linux kernel. A buffer overflow occurs during Forward Error Correction FEC calculation, allowing an attacker to write past the end of an allocated buffer. This out-of-bounds write can corrupt the syndrome buffer, potentially leading to system...

kernel: sctp: validate cached peer INIT chunk length in COOKIE_ECHO processing

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol SCTP implementation. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending a specially crafted COOKIEECHO chunk to a listening SCTP server. The server's failure to properly validate the length of a cached peer INIT chunk within...

kernel: blk-cgroup: fix UAF in __blkcg_rstat_flush()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's block input/output control group blk-cgroup component. This vulnerability, a Use-After-Free UAF, occurs when multiple block control groups are released at the same time. A race condition allows one group to remove another's entries while it is still in use,...

kernel: ipv6: exthdrs: refresh nh pointer after ipv6_hop_jumbo()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handling of IPv6 extended headers. Specifically, the ipv6hopjumbo function, which processes jumbo payloads, can modify internal packet buffer skb pointers. However, the network header nh pointer is not recomputed after these modifications. This oversight cou...

kernel: netfilter: nfnetlink_cthelper: fix OOB read in nfnl_cthelper_dump_table()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's nfnetlinkcthelper component. This vulnerability, an out-of-bounds read, occurs in the nfnlcthelperdumptable function when a network connection tracking helper is removed during a dump operation, leading to a bypassed bounds check. A local attacker could...

kernel: crypto: af_alg - Cap AEAD AD length to 0x80000000

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's afalg cryptography module. This vulnerability involves an arithmetic overflow when processing associated data lengths during the transmit buffer size check. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw by providing a specially crafted associated data length,...

kernel: ata: ahci: Match EM_MAX_SLOTS with SATA_PMP_MAX_PORTS

A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel’s AHCI driver subsystem.The driver allocated an array of 8 elements ahciempriv8, but under certain SATA Port Multiplier PMP configurations, the code in satapmpinitlinks could index up to SATAPMPMAXPORTS which may exceed 8, triggering a potential...

kernel: nvmet-auth: validate reply message payload bounds against transfer length

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's nvmet-auth component. A remote attacker, by sending a specially crafted NVMe-oF NVMe over Fabrics authentication reply message, can cause an out-of-bounds read in the kernel's memory. This vulnerability, exploitable pre-authentication, can lead to the...
