Descriptions

fs/nfs/nfs4client.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.4 has incorrect connection-setup ordering, which allows operators of remote NFSv4 servers to cause a denial of service (hanging of mounts) by arranging for those servers to be unreachable during trunking detection.

El archivo fs/nfs/nfs4client.c en el kernel de Linux versiones anteriores a 5.13.4, presenta un ordenamiento incorrecto de la configuración de la conexión, que permite a operadores de servidores NFSv4 remotos causar una denegación de servicio (cuelgue de montajes) al disponer de que esos servidores sean inalcanzables durante la detección de trunking

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 Linux kernel did not properly enforce certain types of entries in the Secure Boot Forbidden Signature Database protection mechanism. An attacker could use this to bypass UEFI Secure Boot restrictions. Various other issues were also addressed.
