PT-2021-7276 · Linux +4 · Linux Kernel +4

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel versions prior to v5.16-rc6 Description: A flaw in the Linux kernel's eBPF verifier allows internal memory locations to be returned to userspace when handling internal data structures. This can be exploited by a local attacker wi...

UBUNTU-CVE-2021-4001

A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's ebpf verifier between bpfmapupdateelem and bpfmapfreeze due to a missing lock in kernel/bpf/syscall.c. In this flaw, a local user with a special privilege capsysadmin or capbpf can modify the frozen mapped address space. This flaw affects kernel...

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

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...

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: 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 ...

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: 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...
