Descriptions

A race condition was found in the way the Linux kernel's memory subsystem handled the copy-on-write (COW) breakage of private read-only shared memory mappings. This flaw allows an unprivileged, local user to gain write access to read-only memory mappings, increasing their privileges on the system.

Se encontró una condición de carrera en la forma en que el subsistema de memoria del kernel de Linux manejaba la ruptura de copia en escritura (COW) de las asignaciones de memoria compartida privada de sólo lectura. Este fallo permite a un usuario local no privilegiado conseguir acceso de escritura a las asignaciones de memoria de sólo lectura, aumentando sus privilegios en el sistema

It was discovered that the Traffic-Control Index implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly perform filter deactivation in some situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to gain elevated privileges. Please note that with the fix for this CVE, kernel support for the TCINDEX classifier has been removed. Lin Ma discovered a race condition in the io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.
