Descriptions

A flaw was found in the Linux kernels SELinux LSM hook implementation before version 5.7, where it incorrectly assumed that an skb would only contain a single netlink message. The hook would incorrectly only validate the first netlink message in the skb and allow or deny the rest of the messages within the skb with the granted permission without further processing.

Se detectó un fallo en la implementación del enlace SELinux LSM de kernels de Linux versiones anteriores a 5.7, donde se asumía incorrectamente que un skb solo contendría un único mensaje netlink. El enlace incorrectamente solo comprobaría el primer mensaje netlink en el skb y permitiría o denegaría el resto de los mensajes dentro del skb con el permiso otorgado sin procesamiento adicional.

The hook incorrectly validated the first Netlink message in the skb only, to allow or deny the rest of the messages within the skb with the granted permissions and without further processing. At this time, there is no known ability for an attacker to abuse this flaw.
