Descriptions
In the Linux kernel before 5.15.3, fs/quota/quota_tree.c does not validate the block number in the quota tree (on disk). This can, for example, lead to a kernel/locking/rwsem.c use-after-free if there is a corrupted quota file.
En el kernel de Linux versiones anteriores a 5.15.3, el archivo fs/quota/quota_tree.c no comprueba el número de bloque en el árbol de cuotas (en disco). Esto puede, por ejemplo, conllevar a un uso de memoria previamente liberada del archivo kernel/locking/rwsem.c si se presenta un archivo de cuotas corrupto
Xuewei Feng, Chuanpu Fu, Qi Li, Kun Sun, and Ke Xu discovered that the TCP implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle IPID assignment. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or inject forged data. Ke Sun, Alyssa Milburn, Henrique Kawakami, Emma Benoit, Igor Chervatyuk, Lisa Aichele, and Thais Moreira Hamasaki discovered that the Spectre Variant 2 mitigations for AMD processors on Linux were insufficient in some situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information.
