Descriptions
network backend may cause Linux netfront to use freed SKBs While adding logic to support XDP (eXpress Data Path), a code label was moved in a way allowing for SKBs having references (pointers) retained for further processing to nevertheless be freed.
El backend de la red puede hacer que Linux netfront use SKB liberados Al agregar lógica para admitir XDP (ruta de datos eXpress), se movió una etiqueta de código de una manera que permitía que los SKB tuvieran referencias (punteros) retenidas para un procesamiento posterior para, no obstante, ser liberados
An incomplete cleanup flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s Xen networking XDP (eXpress Data Path) subsystem. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system.
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. Selim Enes Karaduman discovered that a race condition existed in the General notification queue implementation of 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.
