Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vt: fix memory overlapping when deleting chars in the buffer A memory overlapping copy occurs when deleting a long line. This memory
overlapping copy can cause data corruption when scr_memcpyw is optimized
to memcpy because memcpy does not ensure its behavior if the destination
buffer overlaps with the source buffer. The line buffer is not always
broken, because the memcpy utilizes the hardware acceleration, whose
result is not deterministic. Fix this problem by using replacing the scr_memcpyw with scr_memmovew.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: vt: corrige la superposición de memoria al eliminar caracteres en el búfer. Se produce una copia de memoria superpuesta al eliminar una línea larga. Esta copia superpuesta de memoria puede causar corrupción de datos cuando scr_memcpyw está optimizado para memcpy porque memcpy no garantiza su comportamiento si el búfer de destino se superpone con el búfer de origen. El búfer de línea no siempre está roto, porque memcpy utiliza la aceleración de hardware, cuyo resultado no es determinista. Solucione este problema reemplazando scr_memcpyw con scr_memmoew.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's virtual terminal driver which causes a memory overlapping copy to occur, this overlapping copy can lead to data corruption and could potentially allow an attacker interacting with a virtual terminal to corrupt or expose system memory.

It was discovered that the ATA over Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the Atheros 802.11ac wireless driver did not properly validate certain data structures, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service.
