CVE-2018-10675

La función do_get_mempolicy en mm/mempolicy.c en el kernel de Linux, en versiones anteriores a la 4.12.9, permite que los usuarios locales provoquen una denegación de servicio (uso de memoria previamente liberada) o, posiblemente, causen otros impactos no especificados mediante llamadas del sistema manipuladas.

The do_get_mempolicy() function in mm/mempolicy.c in the Linux kernel allows local users to hit a use-after-free bug via crafted system calls and thus cause a denial of service (DoS) or possibly have unspecified other impact. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out.

Ralf Spenneberg discovered that the ext4 implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate meta block groups. An attacker with physical access could use this to specially craft an ext4 image that causes a denial of service. It was discovered that an information disclosure vulnerability existed in the ACPI implementation of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. Various other issues were also addressed.
