kernel: tun: bugs for oversize packet when napi frags enabled in tun_napi_alloc_frags

An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s TUN/TAP device driver functionality in how a user generates a malicious too big networking packet when napi frags is enabled. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system...

The vulnerability of the tun_napi_alloc_frags() function in the drivers/net/tun.c module of the Linux TUN/TAP driver allows a attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of protected information, or to enhance their privileges.

The vulnerability of the tunnapiallocfrags function in the drivers/net/tun.c module of the Linux TUN/TAP driver is related to the lack of control over the boundaries of the allocated buffer. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and...

kernel: tun: avoid double free in tun_free_netdev

A double-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s TUN/TAP device driver functionality in how a user registers the device when the registernetdevice function fails NETDEVREGISTER notifier. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system...

Important: kernel

Issue Overview: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i2c: Fix a potential use after free Free the adap structure only after we are done using it. This patch just moves the putdevice down a bit to avoid the use after free. wsa: added comment to the code, added Fixes...

The vulnerability of the Linux operating system allows a malicious individual to gain access to confidential information from the kernel’s stack memory.

The vulnerability exists in the tunchrioctl function in the drivers/net/tun.c kernel module of Linux, due to the lack of initialization for certain structures. Exploiting this vulnerability allows local users to access confidential information from the kernel’s stack memory through a specially...
