Descriptions
In kernel/bpf/hashtab.c in the Linux kernel through 5.13.8, there is an integer overflow and out-of-bounds write when many elements are placed in a single bucket. NOTE: exploitation might be impractical without the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability.
En el archivo kernel/bpf/hashtab.c en el kernel de Linux versiones hasta 5.13.8, se presenta un desbordamiento de enteros y una escritura fuera de límites cuando son colocados muchos elementos en un solo cubo. NOTA: una explotación puede ser poco práctica sin la capacidad CAP_SYS_ADMIN
It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Atheros Ath9k WiFi driver in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information. Alois Wohlschlager discovered that the overlay file system in the Linux kernel did not restrict private clones in some situations. An attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. It was discovered that the btrfs file system in the Linux kernel did not properly handle removing a non-existent device id. An attacker with CAP_SYS_ADMIN could use this to cause a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.
