CVE-2020-15780

Se detectó un problema en el archivo drivers/acpi/acpi_configfs.c en el kernel de Linux versiones anteriores a 5.7.7. Una inyección de tablas ACPI maliciosas por medio de configfs podría ser usada por atacantes para omitir el bloqueo y asegurar las restricciones de arranque, también se conoce como CID-75b0cea7bf30

A flaw was found in how the ACPI table loading through acpi_configfs was handled when the kernel was locked down. This flaw allows a (root) privileged local user to circumvent the kernel lockdown restrictions. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

It was discovered that the network block device implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly check for error conditions in some situations. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the btrfs file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate file system metadata in some situations. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious btrfs image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.
