Descriptions

A flaw in the Linux kernel's implementation of RDMA communications manager listener code allowed an attacker with local access to setup a socket to listen on a high port allowing for a list element to be used after free. Given the ability to execute code, a local attacker could leverage this use-after-free to crash the system or possibly escalate privileges on the system.

Un fallo en la implementación del kernel de Linux del código de escucha del administrador de comunicaciones RDMA permitía a un atacante con acceso local configurar un socket para que escuchara en un puerto alto, lo que permitía un uso de memoria previamente liberada de un elemento de la lista. Dada la capacidad de ejecutar código, un atacante local podría aprovechar este uso de memoria previamente liberada para bloquear el sistema o posiblemente escalar privilegios en el sistema.
