CVE-2020-10751

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.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s SELinux LSM hook implementation, where it anticipated the skb would only contain a single Netlink message. 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.

It was discovered that the ext4 file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle setxattr operations in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that memory contents previously stored in microarchitectural special registers after RDRAND, RDSEED, and SGX EGETKEY read operations on Intel client and Xeon E3 processors may be briefly exposed to processes on the same or different processor cores. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. Various other issues were also addressed.
