USN-2965-4: Linux kernel (Qualcomm Snapdragon) vulnerability

Jann Horn discovered that the extended Berkeley Packet Filter eBPF implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly reference count file descriptors, leading to a use-after-free. A local unprivileged attacker could use this to gain administrative privileges. Ralf Spenneberg discovered that the...
