SALT - SLUB ALlocator Tracer For The Linux Kernel

Welcome to salt , a tool to reverse and learn kernel heap memory management. It can be useful to develop an exploit, to debug your own kernel code, and, more importantly, to play with the kernel heap allocations and learn its inner workings. This tool helps tracing allocations and the current sta...

DEBIAN-CVE-2018-16880

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handlerx function in the vhostnet driver. A malicious virtual guest, under specific conditions, can trigger an out-of-bounds write in a kmalloc-8 slab on a virtual host which may lead to a kernel memory corruption and a system panic. Due to the nature of the...

Privilege Escalation

Linux kernel is vulnerable to privilege escalation. A race condition was found in the Linux kernel, present since v3.14-rc1 through v4.12. The race happens between threads of inotifyhandleevent and vfsrename while running the rename operation against the same file. As a result of the race the nex...

Design/Logic Flaw

A kernel data leak due to an out-of-bound read was found in the Linux kernel in inetdiagmsgsctp,laddrfill and sctpgetsctpinfo functions present since version 4.7-rc1 through version 4.13. A data leak happens when these functions fill in sockaddr data structures used to export socket's diagnostic...

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 4.17.4 Description A denial of service issue can occur due to a slab out-of-bounds read and BUG for a modified f2fs filesystem image in which FI EXTRA ATTR is set in an inode. Recommendations For Linux kernel...

Linux kernel slab out-of-bounds write vulnerability

Linux kernel is the kernel used by Linux, the open source operating system released by the Linux Foundation in the United States. A security vulnerability exists in Linux kernel version 4.17.2 and earlier. The vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker to cause a denial of service slab...

CVE-2018-12714

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.2. The filter parsing in kernel/trace/traceeventsfilter.c could be called with no filter, which is an N=0 case when it expected at least one line to have been read, thus making the N-1 index invalid. This allows attackers to cause a denial ...

PT-2018-11349

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 4.17.3 Description The issue is related to the filter parsing in the Linux kernel, which can be called with no filter. This can lead to a denial of service slab out-of-bounds write or possibly have other...

Design/Logic Flaw

In the eaget function in fs/jfs/xattr.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.1, a memory corruption bug in JFS can be triggered by calling setxattr twice with two different extended attribute names on the same file. This vulnerability can be triggered by an unprivileged user with the ability to creat...

CVE-2018-12233

CVE-2018-12233 is a memory-corruption flaw in the Linux kernel’s JFS implementation (fs/jfs/xattr.c) that can be triggered by calling setxattr twice with two different extended attribute names on the same file. The issue stems from an incorrect kmalloc leading to slab-out-of-bounds in jfs_xattr a...
