CVE-2018-5344

En el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 4.14.13, drivers/block/loop.c gestiona de manera incorrecta la serialización de lo_release, lo que permite que atacantes provoquen una denegación de servicio (uso de memoria previamente liberada de __lock_acquire) o, posiblemente, otro impacto sin especificar.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handling of loopback devices. An attacker, who has permissions to setup loopback disks, may create a denial of service or other unspecified actions.

Jann Horn discovered that the Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) implementation in the Linux kernel improperly performed sign extension in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that a race condition leading to a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the ALSA PCM subsystem of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
