CVE-2021-22600

Un bug de doble liberación en la función packet_set_ring() en el archivo net/packet/af_packet.c puede ser explotado por un usuario local mediante syscalls diseñados para escalar privilegios o denegar el servicio. Es recomendado actualizar el kernel más allá de las versiones afectadas o reconstruir más allá de ec6af094ea28f0f2dda1a6a33b14cd57e36a9755

It was discovered that the Packet network protocol implementation in the Linux kernel contained a double-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Szymon Heidrich discovered that the USB Gadget subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict the size of control requests for certain gadget types, leading to possible out of bounds reads or writes. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Linux Kernel contains a flaw in the packet socket (AF_PACKET) implementation which could lead to incorrectly freeing memory. A local user could exploit this for denial-of-service (DoS) or possibly for privilege escalation.
