CVE-2019-12614

Se descubrió un problema en dlpar_parse_cc_property en arch / powerpc / platform / pseries / dlpar.c en el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 5.1.6. Hay un kstrdup sin marcar de prop-> name, que podría permitir que un atacante provoque una denegación de servicio (desreferencia de puntero NULL y bloqueo del sistema).

A flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's Dynamic Logical Partitioning (DLPAR) functionality on PowerPC systems handled low memory conditions on device discovery. An attacker who can change the LPAR configuration and incur low memory conditions at the same time could use this flaw to crash the system.

It was discovered that the USB video device class implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate control bits, resulting in an out of bounds buffer read. A local attacker could use this to possibly expose sensitive information (kernel memory). It was discovered that the Marvell Wireless LAN device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate the BSS descriptor. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. Various other vulnerabilities have also been addressed.
