CVE-2020-12769

Se detectó un problema en el kernel de Linux versiones anteriores a 5.4.17. El archivo drivers/spi/spi-dw.c, permite a atacantes causar un pánico por medio de llamadas concurrentes a las funciones dw_spi_irq y dw_spi_transfer_one, también se conoce como CID-19b61392c5a8.

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.
