CVE-2017-7374

Vulnerabilidad de uso después de liberación de memoria en fs/crypto/ en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.10.7 permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (referencia a puntero NULL) o posiblemente obtener privilegios revocando el llavero de claves utilizado para cifrado ext4, f2fs o ubifs, provocando que los objetos de transformación criptográfica sean liberados prematuramente.

It was discovered that a use-after-free flaw existed in the filesystem encryption subsystem in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). Jann Horn discovered that the extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) implementation in the Linux kernel could overflow reference counters on systems with more than 32GB of physical ram and with RLIMIT_MEMLOCK set to infinite. A local unprivileged attacker could use to create a use-after- free situation, causing a denial of service (system crash) or possibly gain administrative privileges. Various other issues were also addressed.
