Descriptions

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel in versions prior to v5.14-rc1. Missing size validations on inbound SCTP packets may allow the kernel to read uninitialized memory.

Se ha detectado una vulnerabilidad en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a v5.14-rc1.Una falta de comprobaciones de tamaƱo en los paquetes SCTP entrantes puede permitir al kernel leer la memoria no inicializada.

It was discovered that the f2fs file system in the Linux kernel did not properly validate metadata in some situations. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious f2fs image that, when mounted and operated on, could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the FUSE user space file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle bad inodes in some situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.
