CVE-2017-15265

Condición de carrera en el subsistema ALSA en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a la 4.13.8 permite que usuarios locales provoquen una denegación de servicio (uso de memoria previamente liberada) o posiblemente otro impacto mediante llamadas ioctl /dev/snd/seq ioctl manipuladas. Esto está relacionado con sound/core/seq/seq_clientmgr.c y sound/core/seq/seq_ports.c.

A use-after-free vulnerability was found when issuing an ioctl to a sound device. This could allow a user to exploit a race condition and create memory corruption or possibly privilege escalation.

Mohamed Ghannam discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the Netlink subsystem (XFRM) in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly handle copy-on- write of transparent huge pages. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (application crashes) or possibly gain administrative privileges. It was discovered that a race condition existed in the ALSA subsystem of the Linux kernel when creating and deleting a port via ioctl(). A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
