CVE-2022-2153

Se ha encontrado un fallo en el KVM del kernel de Linux cuando es intentado establecer una IRQ SynIC. Este problema hace posible a un VMM que sea comportado inapropiadamente escribir en las MSR de SYNIC/STIMER, causando una desreferencia de puntero NULL. Este fallo permite a un atacante local no privilegiado en el host emitir llamadas ioctl específicas, causando una condición de oops en el kernel que resulta en una denegación de servicio

Jann Horn discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly track memory allocations for anonymous VMA mappings in some situations, leading to potential data structure reuse. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that a race condition existed in the memory address space accounting implementation in the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
