CVE-2018-18955

In the Linux kernel 4.15.x through 4.19.x before 4.19.2, mapwrite in kernel/usernamespace.c allows privilege escalation because it mishandles nested user namespaces with more than 5 UID or GID ranges. A user who has CAPSYSADMIN in an affected user namespace can bypass access controls on resources...

CVE-2018-18955

CVE-2018-18955 affects Linux kernels 4.15.x–4.19.x, with privilege escalation via map_write() in kernel/user_namespace.c when nested user namespaces have more than 5 UID/GID ranges. A user with CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the affected namespace can bypass controls outside the namespace (e.g., read /etc/shad...

Linux - Broken uid/gid Mapping for Nested User Namespaces

commit 6397fac4915a "userns: bump idmap limits to 340" increases the number of possible uid/gid mappings that a namespace can have from 5 to 340. This is implemented by switching to a different data structure if the number of mappings exceeds 5: Instead of linear search over an unsorted array of...

Linux Nested User Namespace idmap Limit Local Privilege Escalation

This module exploits a vulnerability in Linux kernels 4.15.0 to 4.18.18, and 4.19.0 to 4.19.1, where broken uid/gid mappings between nested user namespaces and kernel uid/gid mappings allow elevation to root CVE-2018-18955. The target system must have unprivileged user namespaces enabled and the...

CVE-2018-6559

The Linux kernel, as used in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.10, allows local users to obtain names of files in which they would not normally be able to access via an overlayfs mount inside of a user namespace...

CVE-2018-6559

CVE-2018-6559 affects the Linux kernel overlayfs in Ubuntu 18.04/18.10. The vulnerability arises when mapping directory contents permissions inside nested user namespaces; a local attacker could exploit this to reveal names of files they would not normally access, bypassing some access controls. ...
