Medium: kernel

Issue Overview: A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of wireless drivers using the Atheros chipsets. An attacker within wireless range could send crafted traffic leading to information disclosure. CVE-2020-3702 A flaw was found in the KVM's AMD code for supporting SVM nested...

OESA-2021-1453 kernel security update

The Linux Kernel, the operating system core itself. Security Fixes: A memory overflow vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel’s ipc functionality of the memcg subsystem, in the way a user calls the semget function multiple times, creating semaphores. This flaw allows a local user to starve th...

USN-5117-1 linux-oem-5.13 vulnerabilities

It was discovered that the btrfs file system in the Linux kernel did not properly handle removing a non-existent device id. An attacker with CAPSYSADMIN could use this to cause a denial of service. CVE-2021-3739 It was discovered that the Qualcomm IPC Router protocol implementation in the Linux...

Al Viro discovered that the Linux kernel for s390x systems did not properly perform page table upgrades for kernel sections that use secondary address mode. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service system crash or execute arbitrary code. CVE-2020-11884 It was discovered that t...

USN-4346-1 linux, linux-aws, linux-kvm, linux-lts-xenial, linux-raspi2, linux-snapdragon vulnerabilities

It was discovered that the QLogic Fibre Channel driver in the Linux kernel did not properly check for error, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service system crash. CVE-2019-16233 It was discovered that the Intel Wi-Fi driver in t...

kernel: pty layer race condition leading to memory corruption

The nttywrite function in drivers/tty/ntty.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.3 does not properly manage tty driver access in the "LECHO & !OPOST" case, which allows local users to cause a denial of service memory corruption and system crash or gain privileges by triggering a race condition...

security flaw

Multiple race conditions in the terminal layer in Linux 2.4.x, and 2.6.x before 2.6.9, allow 1 local users to obtain portions of kernel data via a TIOCSETD ioctl call to a terminal interface that is being accessed by another thread, or 2 remote attackers to cause a denial of service panic by...
