Descriptions

An integer overflow in the uvesafb_setcmap function in drivers/video/fbdev/uvesafb.c in the Linux kernel before 4.17.4 could result in local attackers being able to crash the kernel or potentially elevate privileges because kmalloc_array is not used.

Un desbordamiento de enteros en la función uvesafb_setcmap en drivers/video/fbdev/uvesafb.c en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a la 4.17.4 podría resultar en que los atacantes locales puedan cerrar inesperadamente el kernel o elevar privilegios debido a que no se emplea kmalloc_array.

Piotr Gabriel Kosinski and Daniel Shapira discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in the CDROM driver implementation of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. Jann Horn discovered that the ext4 filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly keep xattr information consistent in some situations. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious ext4 image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. Various other issues have also been addressed.
