CVE-2022-25258

Se ha descubierto un problema en drivers/usb/gadget/composite.c en el kernel de Linux anterior a la versión 5.16.10. El subsistema USB Gadget carece de cierta validación de las solicitudes de descriptor del SO de la interfaz (las que tienen un índice de matriz grande y las asociadas a la recuperación de punteros de función NULL). Podría producirse una corrupción de memoria

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. Demi Marie Obenour and Simon Gaiser discovered that several Xen para- virtualization device frontends did not properly restrict the access rights of device backends. An attacker could possibly use a malicious Xen backend to gain access to memory pages of a guest VM or cause a denial of service in the guest.
