CVE-2021-29649

Se ha descubierto un problema en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a la 5.11.11. El controlador de modo de usuario (UMD) tiene una fuga de memoria copy_process(), relacionada con una falta de pasos de limpieza en kernel/usermode_driver.c y kernel/bpf/preload/bpf_preload_kern.c, también conocido como CID-f60a85cad677.

Ryota Shiga discovered that the eBPF implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly verify that a BPF program only reserved as much memory for a ring buffer as was allocated. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. Manfred Paul discovered that the eBPF implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly track bounds on bitwise operations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
