CVE-2018-12233: Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer

In the eaget function in fs/jfs/xattr.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.1, a memory corruption bug in JFS can be triggered by calling setxattr twice with two different extended attribute names on the same file. This vulnerability can be triggered by an unprivileged user with the ability to creat...

kernel: Setting a POSIX ACL via setxattr doesn't clear the setgid bit

It was found that when file permissions were modified via chmod and the user modifying them was not in the owning group or capable of CAPFSETID, the setgid bit would be cleared. Setting a POSIX ACL via setxattr sets the file permissions as well as the new ACL, but doesn't clear the setgid bit in ...

kernel: S_ISGD is not cleared when setting posix ACLs in tmpfs (CVE-2016-7097 incomplete fix)

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel in 'tmpfs' file system. When file permissions are modified via 'chmod' and the user is not in the owning group or capable of CAPFSETID, the setgid bit is cleared in inodechangeok. Setting a POSIX ACL via 'setxattr' sets the file permissions as well as...
