CVE-2019-11599

La implementación del coredump en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 5.0.10, no utiliza mecanismos de bloqueo u otros mecanismos para evitar cambios en el layout de vma o en los flags vma mientras se ejecuta, lo que permite a los usuarios locales obtener información sensible, causar una denegación de servicio o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado al activar una condición de carrera con llamadas mmget_not_zero o get_task_mm. Esto está relacionado con fs/userfaultfd.c, mm/mmap.c, fs/proc/task_mmu.c, y drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel where the coredump implementation does not use locking or other mechanisms to prevent vma layout or vma flags changes while it runs. This allows local users to obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service (DoS), or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a race condition with mmget_not_zero or get_task_mm calls.

Eli Biham and Lior Neumann discovered that the Bluetooth implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate elliptic curve parameters during Diffie-Hellman key exchange in some situations. An attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. It was discovered that a heap buffer overflow existed in the Marvell Wireless LAN device driver for the Linux kernel. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
