CVE-2018-8043

La función unimac_mdio_probe en drivers/net/phy/mdio-bcm-unimac.c en el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 4.15.8 no valida la disponibilidad de ciertos recursos. Esto permite que usuarios locales provoquen una denegación de servicio (desreferencia de puntero NULL).

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.
