USN-3620-1 linux vulnerabilities

It was discovered that the netlink 802.11 configuration interface in the Linux kernel did not properly validate some attributes passed from userspace. A local attacker with the CAPNETADMIN privilege could use this to cause a denial of service system crash or possibly execute arbitrary code...

The vulnerability of the rds_message_alloc_sgs() function in the Linux operating system allows a hacker to perform write operations beyond the buffer boundaries in memory.

The vulnerability of the rdsmessageallocsgs function in the Linux operating system is related to insufficient checks on the data used by the direct memory access mechanism. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to write data beyond the buffer boundaries in memory...

RDaaS Security: How to Apply Database Audit and Monitoring Controls

As you move databases to cloud database platforms, data security and compliance requirements move along with it. This article explains how you can apply database audit and monitoring controls when migrating your database to cloud services, including the following: Introduction to RDaaS Benefits o...

kernel: rds_message_alloc_sgs() function doesn't validate value used during DMA page allocation causes heap out-of-bounds write

In the Linux kernel through 4.14.13, the rdsmessageallocsgs function does not validate a value that is used during DMA page allocation, leading to a heap-based out-of-bounds write related to the rdsrdmaextrasize function in 'net/rds/rdma.c' and thus to a system panic. Due to the nature of the fla...

kernel: Null pointer dereference in rds_atomic_free_op() allowing denial-of-service

In the Linux kernel through 4.14.13, the rdscmsgatomic function in 'net/rds/rdma.c' mishandles cases where page pinning fails or an invalid address is supplied by a user. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference in rdsatomicfreeop and thus to a system panic...

Linux kernel null pointer dereference vulnerability

The Linux kernel is a computer operating system kernel written in C and assembly language, compliant with the POSIX standard, and distributed under the GNU General Public License. A null pointer dereference vulnerability exists in the rdsrdmamap function in net/rds/rdma.c in Linux kernels prior t...

CVE-2018-7492

The CVE-2018-7492 entry affects the Linux kernel prior to 4.14.7, where a NULL pointer dereference in net/rds/rdma.c __rds_rdma_map() can be triggered by local attackers via RDS_GET_MR / RDS_GET_MR_FOR_DEST. This leads to a system panic and denial-of-service. Affected versions are exposed to loca...

CVE-2018-7492

A NULL pointer dereference was found in the net/rds/rdma.c rdsrdmamap function in the Linux kernel before 4.14.7 allowing local attackers to cause a system panic and a denial-of-service, related to RDSGETMR and RDSGETMRFORDEST...

CVE-2018-5333

This CVE affects Linux kernel up to 4.14.13, specifically the rds_cmsg_atomic() path in net/rds/rdma.c. The root cause is that rm->atomic.op_active is not cleared, causing rds_atomic_free_op() to dereference a null page link via set_page_dirty(), leading to a NULL pointer dereference. The vuln...
