Descriptions

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.2.6. On NUMA systems, the Linux fair scheduler has a use-after-free in show_numa_stats() because NUMA fault statistics are inappropriately freed, aka CID-16d51a590a8c.

Se detectó un problema en el kernel de Linux versiones anteriores a 5.2.6. En los sistemas NUMA, el programador fair de Linux presenta un uso de la memoria previamente liberada en la función show_numa_stats() porque las estadísticas de fallo de NUMA son liberadas inapropiadamente, también se conoce como CID-16d51a590a8c

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s implementation of displaying NUMA statistics, where displaying the scheduler statistics could trigger a use-after-free in show_numa_stats() and display the kernel memory to userspace. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
