CVE-2019-7308

A bypass was found for the Spectre v1 hardening in the eBPF engine of the Linux kernel. The code in the kernel/bpf/verifier.c performs undesirable out-of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic in various cases, including cases of different branches with different state or limits to sanitize,...

Updated kernel packages fix security vulnerabilities

This update is based on upstream 5.5.14 and fixes at least the following security vulnerabilities: In the Linux kernel 5.3.10, there is a use-after-free read in the perftracelockacquire function related to include/trace/events/lock.h CVE-2019-19769. Manfred Paul discovered that the bpf verifier i...

CVE-2020-8835

In the Linux kernel 5.5.0 and newer, the bpf verifier kernel/bpf/verifier.c did not properly restrict the register bounds for 32-bit operations, leading to out-of-bounds reads and writes in kernel memory. The vulnerability also affects the Linux 5.4 stable series, starting with v5.4.7, as the...

DEBIAN-CVE-2020-8835

In the Linux kernel 5.5.0 and newer, the bpf verifier kernel/bpf/verifier.c did not properly restrict the register bounds for 32-bit operations, leading to out-of-bounds reads and writes in kernel memory. The vulnerability also affects the Linux 5.4 stable series, starting with v5.4.7, as the...

Out-of-bounds

In the Linux kernel 5.5.0 and newer, the bpf verifier kernel/bpf/verifier.c did not properly restrict the register bounds for 32-bit operations, leading to out-of-bounds reads and writes in kernel memory. The vulnerability also affects the Linux 5.4 stable series, starting with v5.4.7, as the...

CVE-2020-8835

CVE-2020-8835 affects Linux kernel 5.5.0 and newer, with backports to 5.4.x. The issue is in the BPF verifier (kernel/bpf/verifier.c): it truncates 64-bit values to 32-bit for 32-bit operations, causing the verifier’s checked bounds to diverge from actual execution. This can lead to out-of-bounds...

CVE-2020-8835 Linux kernel bpf verifier vulnerability

In the Linux kernel 5.5.0 and newer, the bpf verifier kernel/bpf/verifier.c did not properly restrict the register bounds for 32-bit operations, leading to out-of-bounds reads and writes in kernel memory. The vulnerability also affects the Linux 5.4 stable series, starting with v5.4.7, as the...

CVE-2020-8835: Out-of-bounds Read

In the Linux kernel 5.5.0 and newer, the bpf verifier kernel/bpf/verifier.c did not properly restrict the register bounds for 32-bit operations, leading to out-of-bounds reads and writes in kernel memory. The vulnerability also affects the Linux 5.4 stable series, starting with v5.4.7, as the...

CVE-2018-18445

A security flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the adjustscalarminmaxvals function in kernel/bpf/verifier.c. A faulty computation of numeric bounds in the BPF verifier permits out-of-bounds memory accesses because this function mishandles 32-bit right shifts. A local unprivileged user cannot...
