CVE-2020-25643

Se encontró un fallo de corrupción de la memoria en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 5.9-rc7, en el módulo HDLC_PPP en la manera en que recibe paquetes malformados por el protocolo PPP. Un usuario remoto podría usar este fallo para bloquear el sistema o causar una denegación de servicio

A flaw was found in the HDLC_PPP module of the Linux kernel. Memory corruption and a read overflow is caused by improper input validation in the ppp_cp_parse_cr function which can cause the system to crash or cause a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

Daniele Antonioli, Nils Ole Tippenhauer, and Kasper Rasmussen discovered that legacy pairing and secure-connections pairing authentication in the Bluetooth protocol could allow an unauthenticated user to complete authentication without pairing credentials via adjacent access. A physically proximate attacker could use this to impersonate a previously paired Bluetooth device. 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.
