Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mtd: require write permissions for locking and badblock ioctls

MEMLOCK, MEMUNLOCK and OTPLOCK modify protection bits. Thus require
write permission. Depending on the hardware MEMLOCK might even be
write-once, e.g. for SPI-NOR flashes with their WP# tied to GND. OTPLOCK
is always write-once.

MEMSETBADBLOCK modifies the bad block table.

En el kernel de Linux se ha solucionado la siguiente vulnerabilidad: mtd: requiere permisos de escritura para bloqueo y badblock ioctls MEMLOCK, MEMUNLOCK y OTPLOCK modifican los bits de protección. Por lo tanto, requiere permiso de escritura. Dependiendo del hardware, MEMLOCK podría incluso ser de escritura única, por ejemplo, para flashes SPI-NOR con su WP# vinculado a GND. OTPLOCK siempre se escribe una vez. MEMSETBADBLOCK modifica la tabla de bloques defectuosos.

A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel, requiring write permissions for locking and badblock ioctls, as they modify protection bits.
