CVE-2020-25285

Una condición de carrera entre los manejadores hugetlb sysctl en el archivo mm/hugetlb.c en el kernel de Linux versiones anteriores a 5.8.8, podría ser usada por atacantes locales para corromper la memoria, causar una desreferencia del puntero NULL o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado, también se conoce como CID-17743798d812

A flaw was found in the Linux kernels sysctl handling code for hugepages management. When multiple root level processes would write to modify the /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages file it could create a race on internal variables leading to a system crash or memory corruption.

Hador Manor discovered that the DCCP protocol implementation in the Linux kernel improperly handled socket reuse, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Jay Shin discovered that the ext4 file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle directory access with broken indexing, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.
