LSN-0082-1: Kernel Live Patch Security Notice

Jann Horn discovered that the tty subsystem of the Linux kernel did not use consistent locking in some situations, leading to a read-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service system crash or possibly expose sensitive information kernel...

LSN-0082-1 Kernel Live Patch Security Notice

kernel: local escalation of privileges in handling of eBPF programs

An out-of-bounds access flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s implementation of the eBPF code verifier, where an incorrect register bounds calculation while checking unsigned 32-bit instructions in an eBPF program occurs.. By default accessing the eBPF verifier is only accessible to privileged use...

kernel: protection of stack pointer against speculative pointer arithmetic can be bypassed to leak content of kernel memory

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's eBPF verification code. By default, accessing the eBPF verifier is only accessible to privileged users with CAPSYSADMIN. This flaw allows a local user who can insert eBPF instructions, to use the eBPF verifier to abuse a spectre-like flaw and infer all syste...

kernel: out-of-bounds reads and writes due to enforcing incorrect limits for pointer arithmetic operations by BPF verifier

A flaw was found in kernel/bpf/verifier.c in BPF in the Linux kernel. An incorrect limit is enforced for pointer arithmetic operations which can be abused to perform out-of-bounds reads and writes in kernel memory, leading to local privilege escalation. The highest threat from this vulnerability ...

kernel: protection for sequences of pointer arithmetic operations against speculatively out-of-bounds loads can be bypassed to leak content of kernel memory

A vulnerability was discovered in retrieveptrlimit in kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel mechanism to mitigate speculatively out-of-bounds loads Spectre mitigation. In this flaw a local, special user privileged CAPSYSADMIN BPF program running on affected systems may bypass the protection,...

kernel: eBPF 32-bit source register truncation on div/mod

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s eBPF verification code, where the eBPF 32-bit div/mod source register truncation could lead to out-of-bounds reads and writes. By default, accessing the eBPF verifier is only possible to privileged users with CAPSYSADMIN. This flaw allows a local user who ca...

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel versions prior to 5.16 rc2 Description: A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's ebpf verifier between bpf map update elem and bpf map freeze due to a missing lock in kernel/bpf/syscall.c. This issue allows a local user...

USN-5115-1: Linux kernel (OEM) vulnerabilities

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Atheros Ath9k WiFi driver in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information WiFi network traffic. CVE-2020-3702 Ofek Kirzner, Adam Morrison, Benedict Schlueter, and Piotr Krysiuk discovered that the BPF...

CVE-2021-20320

A flaw was found in s390 eBPF JIT in bpfjitinsn in arch/s390/net/bpfjitcomp.c in the Linux kernel. In this flaw, a local attacker with special user privilege can circumvent the verifier and may lead to a confidentiality problem. Mitigation Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the...

USN-5091-2: Linux kernel (Raspberry Pi) vulnerabilities

Ofek Kirzner, Adam Morrison, Benedict Schlueter, and Piotr Krysiuk discovered that the BPF verifier in the Linux kernel missed possible mispredicted branches due to type confusion, allowing a side-channel attack. An attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. CVE-2021-33624 It was...

The vulnerability in the kernel/bpf/verifier.c component of the Linux operating system allows a hacker to elevate their privileges to the level of root.

The vulnerability in the kernel component bpf/verifier.c of the Linux operating system is related to writing beyond the buffer boundaries in memory. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an attacker to elevate their privileges to the root level...

USN-5092-2: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Valentina Palmiotti discovered that the iouring subsystem in the Linux kernel could be coerced to free adjacent memory. A local attacker could use this to execute arbitrary code. CVE-2021-41073 Ofek Kirzner, Adam Morrison, Benedict Schlueter, and Piotr Krysiuk discovered that the BPF verifier in...
