kernel: "Dirty Frag" ESP XFRM variant is a new universal Local Privilege Escalation (LPE) vulnerability in the Linux kernel

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's xfrm-ESP and RxRPC subsystems. Unsafe in-place cryptographic processing of shared socket buffer fragments allows a low-privileged local attacker to corrupt page-cache contents of readable files, including sensitive system files, and gain root privileges. The...

kernel: net/sched: cls_u32: use skb_header_pointer_careful()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: clsu32: use skbheaderpointercareful skbheaderpointer does not fully validate negative @offset values. Use skbheaderpointercareful instead. GangMin Kim provided a report and a repro fooling u32classify: BUG: KASAN:...

kernel: usbip: validate number_of_packets in usbip_pack_ret_submit()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's USB/IP subsystem. A malicious USB/IP server could exploit a vulnerability in the usbippackretsubmit function by sending a specially crafted RETSUBMIT response. This response, containing an oversized numberofpackets value, could cause a heap out-of-bounds...

kernel: Linux kernel: Use-after-free in traffic control (act_ct) may lead to denial of service or privilege escalation

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the traffic control actct path when it is incorrectly configured with non-ingress egress qdiscs queueing disciplines. This can allow a local user with specific privileges to trigger a kernel crash, leading to a denial ...

kernel: can: raw: fix ro->uniq use-after-free in raw_rcv()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Controller Area Network CAN raw socket implementation. A use-after-free vulnerability can occur due to a timing window during the unregistration of CAN receive filters, allowing a freed memory region to be accessed. This could lead to system instability or a...

kernel: Read root-owned files as an unprivileged user

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel that allows an unprivileged local user to read sensitive files normally restricted to the root user. The flaw occurs during process exit, where a brief window allows an attacker to intercept file access from a privileged process before it fully...

kernel: "Fragnesia" is a variant of Dirty Frag vulnerability in the ESP/XFRM leading to Local Privilege Escalation (LPE) vulnerability in the Linux kernel

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's XFRM ESP-in-TCP subsystem. Unsafe in-place cryptographic processing allows a low-privileged local attacker to write arbitrary bytes into the page cache of read-only files, including sensitive system files. An attacker can exploit this to overwrite privileged...

Important: Red Hat Security Advisory: kernel security update

An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. 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, is available for each vulnerability from th...

kernel: Linux kernel KVM: Privilege escalation or denial of service due to improper shadow page table entry handling

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Kernel-based Virtual Machine KVM component. A local attacker with privileges on the host system could exploit a vulnerability in how KVM handles shadow page table entries SPTEs during memory-mapped I/O MMIO operations. By manipulating guest page table entrie...

kernel: crypto: asymmetric_keys - prevent overflow in asymmetric_key_generate_id

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: asymmetrickeys - prevent overflow in asymmetrickeygenerateid Use checkaddoverflow to guard against potential integer overflows when adding the binary blob lengths and the size of an asymmetrickeyid structure and return...

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...
