Descriptions

A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux Kernel ipvlan network driver can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. The out-of-bounds write is caused by missing skb->cb initialization in the ipvlan network driver. The vulnerability is reachable if CONFIG_IPVLAN is enabled. We recommend upgrading past commit 90cbed5247439a966b645b34eb0a2e037836ea8e.

Una vulnerabilidad de escritura fuera de los límites de la memoria en el controlador de red ipvlan del kernel de Linux se puede explotar para lograr la escalada de privilegios locales. La escritura fuera de los límites se debe a la falta de inicialización skb->cb en el controlador de red ipvlan. La vulnerabilidad es accesible si CONFIG_IPVLAN está habilitada. Recomendamos actualizar al anterior commit 90cbed5247439a966b645b34eb0a2e037836ea8e.

A flaw was found in the IPVLAN network driver in the Linux kernel. This issue is caused by missing skb->cb initialization in `__ip_options_echo` and can lead to an out-of-bounds write stack overflow. This may allow a local user to cause a denial of service or potentially achieve local privilege escalation.

We recommend upgrading past commit 90cbed5247439a966b645b34eb0a2e037836ea8e.

It was discovered that the IP-VLAN network driver for the Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory in some situations, leading to an out-of- bounds write vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. Querijn Voet discovered that a race condition existed in the io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. Various other vulnerabilities were also discovered and addressed.
