CVE-2018-19824

En el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 4.19.6, un usuario local podría explotar memoria previamente liberada en el controlador ALSA suministrando un dispositivo de sonido USB malicioso (con cero interfaces) que no se maneja correctamente en usb_audio_probe en sound/usb/card.c.

A flaw was found In the Linux kernel, through version 4.19.6, where a local user could exploit a use-after-free in the ALSA driver by supplying a malicious USB Sound device (with zero interfaces) that is mishandled in usb_audio_probe in sound/usb/card.c. An attacker could corrupt memory and possibly escalate privileges if the attacker is able to have physical access to the system.

M. Vefa Bicakci and Andy Lutomirski discovered that the kernel did not properly set up all arguments to an error handler callback used when running as a paravirtualized guest. An unprivileged attacker in a paravirtualized guest VM could use this to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the KVM implementation in the Linux kernel on ARM 64bit processors did not properly handle some ioctls. An attacker with the privilege to create KVM-based virtual machines could use this to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code in the host. Various other issues were also addressed.
