Descriptions
Use-after-free in the usbtv_probe function in drivers/media/usb/usbtv/usbtv-core.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.10 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering failure of audio registration, because a kfree of the usbtv data structure occurs during a usbtv_video_free call, but the usbtv_video_fail label's code attempts to both access and free this data structure.
Uso de memoria previamente liberada en la función usbtv_probe en drivers/media/usb/usbtv/usbtv-core.c en el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 4.14.10 permite que atacantes provoquen una denegación de servicio (cierre inesperado del sistema) o, posiblemente, causen otro tipo de impacto sin especificar desencadenando un error de registro de audio. Esto se debe a que un kfree de la estructura de datos usbtv ocurre durante una llamada usbtv_video_free, pero el código de la etiqueta usbtv_video_fail intenta acceder y liberar esta estructura de datos.
USN-3654-1 fixed vulnerabilities and added mitigations in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement kernel from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Jann Horn and Ken Johnson discovered that microprocessors utilizing speculative execution of a memory read may allow unauthorized memory reads via a sidechannel attack. This flaw is known as Spectre Variant 4. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information, including kernel memory. Various other issues were also addressed.
