CVE-2019-19523

En el kernel de Linux versiones anteriores a 5.3.7, se presenta un bug de uso de la memoria previamente liberada que puede ser causado por un dispositivo USB malicioso en el controlador del drivers/usb/misc/adutux.c, también se conoce como CID-44efc269db79.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s implementation for ADU devices from Ontrak Control Systems, where an attacker with administrative privileges and access to a local account could pre-groom the memory and physically disconnect or unload a module. The attacker must be able to access either of these two events to trigger the use-after-free, and then race the access to the use-after-free, to create a situation where key USB structs can be manipulated into corrupting memory.

The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements. Issues addressed include buffer overflow, bypass, denial of service, information leakage, memory leak, null pointer, out of bounds read, out of bounds write, privilege escalation, and use-after-free vulnerabilities.
