kernel: procfs: fix missing RCU protection when reading real_parent in do_task_stat()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's procfs component. When reading /proc/pid/stat, the dotaskstat function accesses task-realparent without proper Read-Copy-Update RCU protection. This missing protection creates a race condition, which can lead to a Use-After-Free UAF vulnerability. A local...

kernel: sctp: revalidate list cursor after sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc() in SCTP_SENDALL

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol SCTP implementation. A race condition exists in the SCTPSENDALL path where a cached list entry is not properly revalidated after the socket lock is temporarily released. This allows a local attacker or a remote attacker v...

The vulnerability of Microsoft Office packages and 365 Apps for Enterprise lies in the use of memory after it is freed, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability of Microsoft Office packages and 365 Apps for Enterprise lies in the use of memory after it is freed. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code...

kernel: eventpoll: defer struct eventpoll free to RCU grace period

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's eventpoll component. In certain situations, the epfree function in eventpoll.c can prematurely free the eventpoll data structure while it is still being used by another concurrent thread. This use-after-free UAF vulnerability could allow a local attacker to...

kernel: eventpoll: fix ep_remove struct eventpoll / struct file UAF

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's eventpoll mechanism. A Use-After-Free UAF vulnerability, where the system attempts to access memory after it has been freed, can occur during the removal of a file. A local attacker could exploit this race condition to corrupt memory, potentially leading to...

Important: Red Hat Security Advisory: xorg-x11-server security update

An update for xorg-x11-server is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2 Update Services for SAP Solutions. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System CVSS base score, which gives a detailed severity rating...

xorg-x11-server: xorg-x11-server-Xwayland: xorg-x11-server: use-after-free in SyncChangeCounter()

A use-after-free flaw was found in the X.Org X server and Xwayland in SyncChangeCounter. A client that sets up multiple SyncCounters can trigger a use-after-free when destroying those counters via a second client connection while changing those counters. This may be used to crash the server, or f...

xorg-x11-server: xorg-x11-server-Xwayland: xorg-x11-server: use-after-free information disclosure in CreateSaverWindow()

A use-after-free flaw was found in the X.Org X server and Xwayland in CreateSaverWindow. A client can trigger a use-after-free read after changing window attributes and forcing the screen saver, leading to information disclosure...

xorg-x11-server: xorg-x11-server-Xwayland: xorg-x11-server: use-after-free in miSyncDestroyFence()

A use-after-free flaw was found in the X.Org X server and Xwayland in miSyncDestroyFence. A client that sets up multiple fence triggers can trigger a use-after-free function pointer call. An attacker would connect to the X server to set up a fence and await that fence, then a second X connection...

xorg-x11-server: xorg-x11-server-Xwayland: xorg-x11-server: use-after-free in FreeCounter()

A use-after-free flaw was found in the X.Org X server and Xwayland in FreeCounter. A client that sets up multiple SyncCounters and awaits on those triggers can trigger a use-after-free when destroying those counters via a second client connection. This may be used to crash the server, or for...

kernel: Bluetooth: SCO: Fix use-after-free in sco_recv_frame() due to missing sock_hold

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth SCO Synchronous Connection-Oriented protocol implementation. The scorecvframe function fails to properly hold a reference to a socket after releasing a lock. This oversight allows a concurrent operation to free the socket while it is still being...

kernel: scsi: target: iscsi: Fix use-after-free in iscsit_dec_conn_usage_count()

A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's iSCSI target subsystem. In the iscsitdecconnusagecount function, complete is called while still holding the conn-connusagelock spinlock. The waiting thread such as iscsitcloseconnection may wake up immediately and free the iscsitconn structure...
