Descriptions

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel Broadcom Full MAC Wi-Fi driver. This issue occurs when a user connects to a malicious USB device. This can allow a local user to crash the system or escalate their privileges.

Se encontró una falla de desbordamiento del búfer en el controlador Wi-Fi Broadcom Full MAC del kernel de Linux. Este problema ocurre cuando un usuario se conecta a un dispositivo USB malicioso. Esto puede permitir que un usuario local bloquee el sistema o aumente sus privilegios.

It was discovered that the Upper Level Protocol subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle sockets entering the LISTEN state in certain protocols, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the KVM VMX implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle indirect branch prediction isolation between L1 and L2 VMs. An attacker in a guest VM could use this to expose sensitive information from the host OS or other guest VMs.
