Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2020-25641

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available. - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of biovecs in versions before 5.9-rc7. A zero-length biovec request issued by the block subsystem could...

kernel: soft-lockups in iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic() could result in DoS

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s implementation of biovecs. A zero-length biovec request issued by the block subsystem could cause the kernel to enter an infinite loop, causing a denial of service. This flaw allows a local attacker with basic privileges to issue requests to a block device,...

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of biovecs in versions before 5.9-rc7. A zero-length biovec request issued by the block subsystem could cause the kernel to enter an infinite loop causing a denial of service. This flaw allows a local attacker with basic privileges to issue requests to a block device resulting in a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
