Descriptions

In LightDM through 1.22.0, a directory traversal issue in debian/guest-account.sh allows local attackers to own arbitrary directory path locations and escalate privileges to root when the guest user logs out.

La función ping_unhash en net/ipv4/ping.c en el kernel de Linux en versiones hasta 4.10.8 es demasiado tarde para obtener un determinado bloqueo y por lo tanto, no puede garantizar que las llamadas de función de desconexión son seguras, lo que permite a los usuarios locales causar una denegación de servicio (pánico) aprovechando el acceso al valor de protocolo de IPPROTO_ICMP en una llamada de sistema de socket.
