Descriptions

A vulnerability was found in linux kernel, where an information leak occurs via ext4_extent_header to userspace.

Se encontró una vulnerabilidad en el kernel de linux, donde es producido un filtrado de información por medio de la función ext4_extent_header al espacio de usuario

An information leak flaw was found via ext4_extent_header in fs/ext4/extents.c in the Linux kernel. This flaw could allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service.

It was discovered that the framebuffer driver on the Linux kernel did not verify size limits when changing font or screen size, leading to an out-of- bounds write. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the virtual terminal driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle VGA console font changes, leading to an out-of-bounds write. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
