CVE-2020-12826

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel loose validation of child/parent process identification handling while filtering signal handlers. A local attacker is able to abuse this flaw to bypass checks to send any signal to a privileged process. Mitigation Mitigation for this issue is either not...

CVE-2020-12826

A signal access-control issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.6.5, aka CID-7395ea4e65c2. Because execid in include/linux/sched.h is only 32 bits, an integer overflow can interfere with a donotifyparent protection mechanism. A child process can send an arbitrary signal to a parent...

CVE-2020-12826

CVE-2020-12826 affects the Linux kernel before 5.6.5. The root cause is an integer overflow in exec_id (include/linux/sched.h) due to 32-bit sizing, which can allow a child process to send an arbitrary signal to a parent process in a different security domain, bypassing protection. A patched vers...

New Malware Jumps Air-Gapped Devices by Turning Power-Supplies into Speakers

Cybersecurity researcher Mordechai Guri from Israel's Ben Gurion University of the Negev recently demonstrated a new kind of malware that could be used to covertly steal highly sensitive data from air-gapped and audio-gapped systems using a novel acoustic quirk in power supply units that come wit...
