Descriptions
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.8. kernel/bpf/verifier.c has an off-by-one error (with a resultant integer underflow) affecting out-of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic, leading to side-channel attacks that defeat Spectre mitigations and obtain sensitive information from kernel memory, aka CID-10d2bb2e6b1d.
Se detectó un problema en el kernel de Linux versiones anteriores a 5.11.8. El archivo kernel/bpf/verifier.c presenta un error por un paso (con un subdesbordamiento de enteros resultante) afectando la especulación fuera de límites en la aritmética de punteros, conllevando a ataques de canal lateral que anulan las mitigaciones de Spectre y consiguen información confidencial de la memoria del kernel , también se conoce como CID-10d2bb2e6b1d
De4dCr0w of 360 Alpha Lab discovered that the BPF verifier in the Linux kernel did not properly handle mod32 destination register truncation when the source register was known to be 0. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information or possibly execute arbitrary code. Adam Nichols discovered that heap overflows existed in the iSCSI subsystem in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
