An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in fs/f2fs/node.c in the f2fs module in the Linux kernel in versions before 5.12.0-rc4. A bounds check failure allows a local attacker to gain access to out-of-bounds memory leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
Se encontró un fallo de acceso a la memoria fuera de límites (OOB) en el archivo fs/f2fs/node.c en el módulo f2fs en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 5.12.0-rc4. Un fallo en la comprobación de límites permite a un atacante local conseguir acceso a la memoria fuera de límites, conllevando a un bloqueo del sistema o una fuga de información interna del kernel. La mayor amenaza de esta vulnerabilidad es la disponibilidad del sistema
Norbert Slusarek discovered a race condition in the CAN BCM networking protocol of the Linux kernel leading to multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities. A local attacker could use this issue to execute arbitrary code. Mathy Vanhoef discovered that the Linux kernel’s WiFi implementation did not properly clear received fragments from memory in some situations. A physically proximate attacker could possibly use this issue to inject packets or expose sensitive information. Various other issues were also addressed.
