kernel: FUSE filesystem low-privileged user privileges escalation

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, where unauthorized access to the execution of the setuid file with capabilities was found in the Linux kernel’s OverlayFS subsystem in how a user copies a capable file from a nosuid mount into another mount. This uid mapping bug allows a local user to escalat...

A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s Ext4 File System in how a user triggers several file operations simultaneously with the overlay FS usage. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. Only if patch 9a2544037600 ("ovl: fix use after free in struct ovl_aio_req") not applied yet the kernel could be affected.

SUSE CVE-2012-0055

OverlayFS in the Linux kernel before 3.0.0-16.28, as used in Ubuntu 10.0.4 LTS and 11.10, is missing inode security checks which could allow attackers to bypass security restrictions and perform unauthorized actions...

SUSE CVE-2015-8953

fs/overlayfs/copyup.c in the Linux kernel before 4.2.6 uses an incorrect cleanup code path, which allows local users to cause a denial of service dentry reference leak via filesystem operations on a large file in a lower overlayfs layer...

SUSE CVE-2016-1575

The overlayfs implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.5.2 does not properly maintain POSIX ACL xattr data, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging a group-writable setgid directory...

SUSE CVE-2018-12021

Singularity 2.3.0 through 2.5.1 is affected by an incorrect access control on systems supporting overlay file system. When using the overlay option, a malicious user may access sensitive information by exploiting a few specific Singularity features...
