Descriptions

A race condition flaw was found in the Linux kernel sound subsystem due to improper locking. It could lead to a NULL pointer dereference while handling the SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC ioctl. A privileged local user (root or member of the audio group) could use this flaw to crash the system, resulting in a denial of service condition

Se ha encontrado un fallo de condición de carrera en el subsistema de sonido del kernel de Linux debido a un bloqueo inapropiado. Podría conllevar a una desreferencia de puntero NULL mientras es manejado el ioctl SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC. Un usuario local privilegiado (root o miembro del grupo de audio) podría usar este fallo para bloquear el sistema, resultando en una situación de denegación de servicio

Xuewei Feng, Chuanpu Fu, Qi Li, Kun Sun, and Ke Xu discovered that the TCP implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle IPID assignment. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or inject forged data. 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.
