Descriptions

The __oom_reap_task_mm function in mm/oom_kill.c in the Linux kernel before 4.14.4 mishandles gather operations, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (TLB entry leak or use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a copy_to_user call within a certain time window.

La función __oom_reap_task_mm en mm/oom_kill.c en el kernel de Linux, en versiones anteriores a la 4.14.4, gestiona de manera incorrecta las operaciones de recopilación. Esto permite que los atacantes provoquen una denegación de servicio (filtrado de entrada TLB o uso de memoria previamente liberada) u otro tipo de impacto sin especificar desencadenando una llamada copy_to_user en un periodo de tiempo determinado.
