Important: kernel

Issue Overview: A use-after-free flaw was found in vcsread in drivers/tty/vt/vcscreen.c in vcscreen in the Linux Kernel. In this flaw an attacker with local user access may lead to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information. CVE-2023-3567 In the Linux kernel, the following...

CVE-2023-52973

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vcscreen: move load of struct vcdata pointer in vcsread to avoid UAF After a call to consoleunlock in vcsread the vcdata struct can be freed by vcdeallocate. Because of that, the struct vcdata pointer load must be done at the top...

CVE-2023-52973

The CVE-2023-52973 issue affects the Linux kernel’s vc_screen path (vt/vc_screen.c). Root cause: a use-after-free of vc_data after console_unlock() in vcs_read(), where the vc_data pointer was loaded inside the loop, allowing a UAF in vcs_size(). The bug was fixed by moving the vc_data load to th...
