CVE-2020-29371

Se detectó un problema en la función romfs_dev_read en el archivo fs/romfs/storage.c en el kernel de Linux versiones anteriores a 5.8.4. Una pérdida de memoria no inicializada en el espacio de usuario, también se conoce como CID-bcf85fcedfdd

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.
