Descriptions
In drivers/media/dvb-core/dmxdev.c in the Linux kernel through 5.19.10, there is a use-after-free caused by refcount races, affecting dvb_demux_open and dvb_dmxdev_release.
En el archivo drivers/media/dvb-core/dmxdev.c en el kernel de Linux versiones hasta 5.19.10, se presenta un uso de memoria previamente liberada causado por refcount races, que afecta a dvb_demux_open y dvb_dmxdev_release
A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s dvb-core subsystem (DVB API used by Digital TV devices) in how a user physically removed a USB device (such as a DVB demultiplexer device) while running malicious code. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.
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.
